The workouts Alex programs don’t just make you feel strong and powerful—they’re intentionally designed to help you crush your goals, whether that’s building muscle, gaining strength, losing fat, or all of the above. I’ve gained a level of confidence in my body and my abilities that I never had before. You seriously can’t go wrong with this app—it’s empowering, effective, and everything you need in a fitness program! ### 5/5 — Science based and efficient! *2025-06-04, version 1.0* Just another lifting app is so much more than that! I’ve used a few different lifting apps and this app so much better than most standard apps. The workouts are effective and efficient with a nice structure to work through! 10/10 lifting app! ### 5/5 — JALA *2025-06-04, version 1.0* Love the way the strength workouts are set up! Can’t wait to get stronger with Alex! ### 5/5 — Absolutely amazing! *2025-06-03, version 1.0* Alex is such an incredible coach. She builds training programs for people who have different goals (fat loss, strength, and bodybuilding). She took into consideration of the different types of equipment a gym may/may not have and you’re able to substitute if your gym doesn’t have that type of equipment. Alex also put in form demonstration videos for each exercise!! Absolutely incredible. ### 5/5 — Easy *2025-06-03, version 1.0* JALA is user friendly, easy to use, and awesome for those looking to up their fitness game. The creator is pretty solid as well, hire her. ### 5/5 — Human First Coaching *2025-06-03, version 1.0* To say the absolute least, I highly recommend Coach Alex and her app if you are looking to better your body and perspective around working out. To say more, in 2024, I wanted to start bodybuilding and applied for Alex to coach me. I had seen her tiktoks and youtube videos and thought her dynamic personality and experience in the sport would help me navigate new athletic terrain. Alex cares first and foremost about the people she works with. She has always put my health first and encouraged me to ask questions. It is hard to imagine myself getting luckier with my first coach- let alone a person whom I found online! Apart from being a phenomenal human, Alex’s knowledge surrounding muscle growth and hypotrophy have pushed me as an athlete and strengthened my own knowledge of the body. Her guidance with nutrition has changed my perspective on food. In the last year, I have developed the most healthy relationship with food, my body, and myself than I ever have and Alex’s guidance and intentional care for me as a human first is one of the largest factors. ### 5/5 — Super great!! *2025-06-03, version 1.0* Workout programming is thought out and well curated. Multiple different options for programing as well you can select from! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 3/5 — Great workouts. Terrible app *2025-10-14, version 1.2.0* Workouts are great, but they sometimes don’t load and some of the functionality doesn’t load like “substitute exercise” or “coaches notes.” Sadly, can see spending the money if I can’t access the content. ### 3/5 — Glitchy App *2025-06-30, version 1.1.0* I wish that I could love this app, it is exactly what I have been looking for. I have been trying to use this app for a few weeks. However, the app is very glitchy for me. It doesn’t show descriptions of anything, including the coach’s notes. I know there is supposed to be a little over use video of Alex talking about the week of lifting, but that is also not showing up. I don’t know how many reps I’m supposed to do in the cluster sets as it doesn’t show up. I also have to calculate the percentages on my own, which I can do, it’s just inconvenient. A majority of the sets show up as reps only and not reps with weight. Along with a couple of other things. I have tried to delete and redownload this app multiple times. My phone software is up to date as well as the version of the app. I have tried to trouble shoot with the team including sending them screenshots and recordings of what I have been seeing on my end and it has not been successful. Customer service has been responsive and kind, so I appreciate that. I love the concept of this app and the program Alex has created. I almost want to use it with the flaws I have encountered, but it is also very frustrating for me. I’m not sure if anyone else has had this experience and what they have done to fix it. Maybe I will try again at a different time in the future when the app isn’t as new. ### 5/5 — Effective and Affordable *2025-12-08, version 1.2.0* If you want results without overthinking every workout, this app is IT. Simple, structured, and seriously effective. I’m stronger, more confident, and somehow still within budget. Can’t say that about most things these days! My ONLY complain, which is small, is that the app glitches almost daily and I have to restart. ### 5/5 — Effective and Affordable *2025-12-03* If you want results without overthinking every workout, this app is IT. Simple, structured, and seriously effective. I’m stronger, more confident, and somehow still within budget. Can’t say that about most things these days! **Developer response:** Hi there! Thanks so much for your amazing review! We love to hear about all the strength gains and can't wait to see you continue on your fitness journey. If you ever have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to jala@trainmakr.com and we'll be happy to help. Have an awesome day! ### 5/5 — Great lifting app *2025-11-07, version 1.2.0* Helps structure my work outs in the gym, instead of winging it every day. Instructions given for every exercise are the best! ### 5/5 — The best lifting app 🙌 *2025-08-18, version 1.2.0* I’ve used multiple apps for programming in the gym over the years. Some free and some top dollar from big names in the industry. I’ve hands down seen and felt more progress with Alex’s app than any other. It’s real programming that helps you with progressive overload. In just 2 months I’ve increased my training max on all lifts and I’m seeing more overall muscle development. This app is an absolute steal. Download it and get after it. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-07-19, version 1.1.0* I’ve been using this app/ program for about 2 months now and I’ve gotten stronger than I ever have with any other program. It has me trying new ways of lifting and I love it! If I would have told myself a few months ago the weight I’d be moving, I’d think I was crazy! Thanks for a great program! ### 5/5 — awesome app with good support *2025-07-14, version 1.1.0* Great program, and awesome explanations. I reported a tech issue and it was addressed within a day. The ability to select a program that meets your current needs is great, and can be changed if your circumstances or goals change. ### 5/5 — Get Strong on Auto Pilot! *2025-07-14, version 1.1.0* Can I plan my own lifting? Sure. Do I want to? Eff no. Enter: JALA! I had been burning out hard and losing interest in planning my own workouts. What I love about JALA is there’s nothing I have to do except execute. The videos are helpful, it’s easy to log my workout as I do it, and I love the flexibility in choosing between fast track versus full. Occasionally there’s a mistyped or incorrect field (ie instructions say 4x10 but the fields for sets are pre marked as 4 sets of different reps like 10,8,8,drop or something) but that’s easy to just write over. Lifting is more fun now and JALA has gotten me excited again! ### 5/5 — Optimal training *2025-06-17, version 1.0.1* Alex’s training program has helped me completely transform my body. If you follow it, it works. Period. ## Most praised reviews (2 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — AMAZING program *2025-06-11, version 1.0.1* Have been following Alex on socials for years and SO excited to use this app. One week in and it appears all the initial bugs have been resolved and the app is so user friendly. Really appreciated the one week free trial since I was apprehensive about an influencer-made program but it’s incredible and I should have never doubted it based on the rest of her content. ### 5/5 — The best thing you’ll ever download *2025-06-06, version 1.0.1* Alex is truly the real thing! She approaches everything she does with science and research. JALA meets you where you are and doesn’t give off any of the icky fitness vibes. We don’t all have the same 24hours and JALA helps you choose a program that’s right for you! If you’re ready to get serious about your health, just want to lift heavy weights and be effective at it?
