### 4/5 — Almost Perfect

*2026-07-28, version 1.9.4*

I LOVE Stoppani’s workouts & how easy the app is to use. My only feedback is that you can’t swap an exercise, machine or equipment for something similar if you need to modify or the equipment isn’t available. I’m a flight attendant and I travel out of the country every week and hotel gyms are wildly different. So I use the workouts but I plug them into an app that lets me adapt the exercises based on equipment or my fitness ability or energy.

### 4/5 — Very good

*2026-07-28, version 1.9.4*

The app is very good. Divided into different categories and goals. Helps with nutrition/ diet and offers supplements. My two problems with the app are just that it doesn’t offer sports related or athletic workouts from what I saw. Also the interface to swaps isn’t friendly. Because of sports, I want to switch my leg days around, but it’s not simple. Besides that, it’s great app.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-07-15, version 1.9.4*

Great app with a range of programmes and insights to support muscle building and fat loss

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-07-15, version 1.9.4*

This app is easy to use, and it makes it so much easier to loge all of your workouts and keep track of what weight you used the last time you did an exercise and the reps that you did.

### 4/5 — Suboptimal in almost every way

*2026-07-15, version 1.9.4*

First and foremost great content, but the app leaves much to be desired. Not much of it is especially intuitive or easy to manipulate. My biggest complaint is I’ll log my weights and reps in between sets and when I come back to my phone often the app has crashed and dumped all data not saved. Lesson learned: save data after every exercise is complete.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-07-15, version 1.9.4*

I follow Jym’s workouts and not nutrition. Jim programs are amazing. I can definitely see improvements. I don’t like to use their supplements as I believe in natural supplements.

### 5/5 — Injured Vet still works out

*2026-07-14, version 1.9.4*

As a disabled vet it has been frustrating trying to gain or even maintain muscle from the days I was active duty.  With Jim Stoppani’s app and the huge selection of programs, I am able to find some that work great for me.
I have always loved being in the gym and now I’m back in it and making gains once again!  Thanks Jim.

### 5/5 — Amazing!!!!

*2026-07-13, version 1.9.4*

Love the app. Have used it for years to track workouts and progress!!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-07-09, version 1.9.4*

I was a fan of Stoppani before this app, I have always been impressed by his programs. I have always faced challenges getting major gains in size, and Stoppani changed that for me. This app was new to me when I returned to the gym after a years long hiatus, and it has made achieving goals even more achievable for me. I tell every exercising friend I make about Stoppani and this app. Try it out, then compare your results to those of your friends that aren’t using Stoppani’s fitness programs and this app, you will likely see all major difference early on.

### 5/5 — Go to work out app

*2026-07-09, version 1.9.4*

Appreciate making it free for military!!! Also a great app with tons of programs. Anytime I get off track I revert back to these works to get back on track. Thank you Jim!

### 5/5 — Has it all!

*2026-07-09, version 1.9.4*

Love the app!
Not only does it have explanation of each exercise, but each program comes with an overview as to why certain techniques are implemented.

### 3/5 — Please add requested features from the

*2026-07-09, version 1.9.4*

I would give 4 or 5 stars, but the app needs to be updated with the most requested features from the Jym Army, like choosing alternative exercises for a program, prefilling rep numbers, including rest pause and drop set sets, and including a cardioacceleration indicator/place. Other than that it is a great app.  Worth joining!

### 5/5 — AMAZING

*2026-07-08, version 1.9.4*

I’ve used different program from Jim to lose 50 pounds and increase my lifts by 100%. The only thing they could do better is for workouts that are timed (planks), having a spot for time as opposed to weight and reps. Love this and I will continue to use Jim Stoppani’s programs.

### 5/5 — Love these workouts

*2026-07-08, version 1.9.4*

I’ve been using this app for a few years now.  There are so many programs to choose from.  The demos are great.

### 5/5 — Paul

*2026-07-08, version 1.9.4*

The fact that it’s free to active duty military is amazing. Secondly the workouts are great. Put together well. Easy to learn and really give a good pump. Im at week five of strong in 8 and my gains are really showing. Great stuff

### 4/5 — Improve

*2026-07-08, version 1.9.4*

App has improved since I started. I can reschedule missed workouts

### 5/5 — JYM Army

*2026-07-07, version 1.9.4*

I have been apart of JYM Army for about 5 years. I have done pretty much every program he offers on the APP. If you’re looking for strength, gains, leanness, JYM is for you. And if your military you get all these programs for free when you sign up and your e-mail is verified. A huge savings!!

### 4/5 — Versatility for wherever you are at on your fitness journey

*2026-07-07, version 1.9.4*

It has so many different options for routines. So much nutritional information to keep you skyrocketing through your goals!

Some minor scheduling bugs, just lags a bit at times.

### 5/5 — Amazing App and Content

*2026-07-07, version 1.9.4*

I have followed Jim Stoppani for over a decade, where k first discovered his programs on a popular bodybuilding website. The science behind how his programs are designed is second to none. From Old School Bodybuilding to Extreme HIIT workouts, everything is backed by decades of real world experience, as well as high level research. As someone who has worked in the medical industry for over a decade, I appreciate the supporting research and “why” behind the program designs. This app brings it all together in a robust format which is seamless to use. I highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2026-07-07, version 1.9.4*

Take The Guesswork Out!  I've been using this app for the past 10 years and love it.  It's easy to use, dependable and it works like nothing I've ever used before.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Wtf happened

*2026-04-07, version 1.9.1*

I have no idea what is going on with payment. Every app I have payment options come up and I choose. Not this one, it’s for some weird way of payment with no option for me to select the card I want. Oh well

### 1/5 — App is slow and glitchy

*2026-02-06, version 1.9.0*

Workouts are great but don’t load consistently after being programmed.  If you want to look at saved workouts in the past, it’s almost impossible for the app to load it.

### 1/5 — New update is horrible

*2025-12-26, version 1.9.0*

The new update crashes constantly and it takes forever to load my workouts. Whatever bugs were addressed seem to have been compounded

### 1/5 — Membership cancellation

*2025-09-02, version 1.8.18*

Jim, I can’t believe you make it so difficult to cancel a membership when the membership is paid with a credit card. Even after calling your 888 number mysteriously my account can not be found thru my e mail.  You should be embarrassed to stoop to that level. PS I’m leaving a 1 star review not a 5 star review

### 1/5 — No help from support

*2025-05-17, version 1.8.18*

Tried to set up an account and purchase the trial from Apple. Got a receipt stating I was charged for the app but my login doesn’t work. Emailed support and they tell me they can’t help with apps purchased through Apple.

### 1/5 — Be warned - very difficult to stop paid subscription

*2024-07-10, version 1.8.17*

I have reached out to both app creator and Apple to cancel subscription, as it no longer shows up in my settings - but I keep getting charged.  Both blame the other for the problem and I got nowhere.  I finally had to stop autopay through Paypal and basically block them from getting paid.  Very disappointed

### 1/5 — Money grab

*2024-03-13, version 1.8.17*

I will never use an app that makes you pay to use it without even offering a trial period.

### 1/5 — App is definitely broken

*2023-06-20, version 1.8.14*

App only works on Wi-Fi and logs you out when on network.  Very frustrating experience overall and does not let you track your workouts properly because of it.  Needs an update IMMEDIATELY!

### 1/5 — App is not user Friendly

*2023-05-18, version 1.8.14*

It uses a very old type of UI and does not fully explain the purpose of the workout. It asks me to super set but i can only add one movement stat at a time. There is no timer. It can use an update and would be nice to have the diet broken down with some accountability. I like the workouts however the app is just horrible. I also want to add sometimes it says Squat and I have no clue if it is a back squat goblet squat air squat… it just does not make sense. The movements should be explicit and state exactly what the movement is.

### 1/5 — Glitched

*2023-05-11, version 1.8.14*

I’ve been using the app for 4 days, now the app and website won’t log in to my account. I’m the workouts were nice and it just stopped working, so thanks for that.

### 5/5 — Best workouts and variety

*2026-08-26, version 1.9.4*

You won’t find a better app that offers over 100 4,6,8 and 12 week LEGIT workouts with descriptions videos meal plans and about as many articles on every topic you can think of. Worth EVERY PENNY!

### 5/5 — Great updates!

*2026-08-25, version 1.9.4*

First off, I been using this app for roughly 10 years. It provides great results when used correctly and you stick to the programs. Before the updates missed workouts couldn’t be rescheduled, now they can be. The other great update is reviewing the proper way to do the workout. Previously when viewing the demonstration it would take you back to the or ire of your workout. Now it returns you to the last exercise you were completing.

### 5/5 — 42 yr old back at it

*2026-08-21, version 1.9.4*

This app starts for beginners to advanced levels of workouts. It’s helped me build my foundation and confidence back in the gym. I am retired from the military but not from the gym with this app!!

### 5/5 — Perfect workout app!!

*2026-08-19, version 1.9.4*

Shoutout to my boy Rin for putting me on this app. I have zero issues with this complete workout app!

### 5/5 — Great fitness app

*2026-08-11, version 1.9.4*

This app is great with tracking workouts. Also the military benefit is amazing.

### 5/5 — Great, great, great!

*2026-08-07, version 1.9.4*

I can’t be more grateful that all the workouts and knowledge are available here for me to use. I also love that this app allows me to track every workout I did to see the progress. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Greatness

*2026-07-20, version 1.9.4*

This app continues to get better

### 5/5 — The best workouts

*2026-07-19, version 1.9.4*

This is the most comprehensive app you’ll ever need.  The workouts are so varied, the wisdom is beyond anything out there.  I’ve been using this app for about 15 years.  (Well before it was an app 🤣).  Love Doc, Mike and the gang!

### 5/5 — And Still

*2026-07-16, version 1.9.4*

Still probably one of the most underrated apps on the Apple platform. Jim’s insights into workout routines, diets, and nutrition is one of the greatest benefits of using the app. It keeps workouts structured but still allows freedom to manipulate them to fit your needs/ goals. If you haven’t tried it then I don’t know what you’re waiting for. With workouts for all levels and equipment this one is a no-brainer.

### 5/5 — Love this freaking App!

*2026-07-15, version 1.9.4*

I’ve got like 200+ workouts done. My favorite program is definitely shortcut to shred! I recommend this to all my friends
