### 5/5 — LIFE SAVER!

*2020-05-05, version 2.0.3*

This app has been a life saver for at home workouts! The trainers are incredible and the CPG community is so supportive!

### 5/5 — GREAT gym, GREAT app, GREAT workouts

*2020-05-05, version 2.0.3*

Hubby and I have been training with kettlebells at home for at least 10 years. We follow a couple of trainers but stumbled across CPG around quarantine. We are really enjoying these workouts! The workouts are suitable for anyone - whether you’re a kettlebell fanatic or not. It’s a great change of pace and ... get ready for a very sweaty very engaging workout every day ... these coaches bring ENERGY and POSITIVITY every single day. Their chemistry is authentic and the workouts are really well constructed. The app is great too... access to daily workouts, access to a library of mini workouts and various resources. Could not have come at a better time. Thanks Coach Grant and Coach Sean. One day...when I can visit Chicago... I look forward to drop in workouts at Chicago Primal Gym!

### 5/5 — THRILLED FIT MOM

*2020-05-05, version 2.0.3*

Fresh, funny, motivating coaches with super effective programming! A huge perk to swing in the comfort of my own home while my toddler does her thing. The 14 day challenge is a super boost for the mind, body and soul!

### 5/5 — Game Changer and Life Changing App

*2020-05-05, version 2.0.3*

This app is a game changer when it comes to mobile fitness. More importantly these guys are going to help create a strong, healthy, and primal community across the globe!

### 5/5 — Best kettlebell workouts

*2020-05-05, version 2.0.3*

These are my favorite people to workout with. I love the energy and the way I feel when swinging a kettlebell. 
This app gives you a ton of options to get a good workout in!

### 5/5 — High Quality Workouts and Video

*2020-05-05, version 2.0.3*

Highest quality virtual workout production I’ve seen and great workouts too! CPG offers body weight, endurance, and strength options so it’s great for any level of fitness and you can scale based on the equipment you have. Highly recommend CPG.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2020-05-05, version 2.0.3*

Going from having gym access to nothing was a rough adjustment.  This app and team has been a Godsend!  I was newer to kettlebells before this and my skills have improved.  Love this app!

### 5/5 — Great workouts

*2020-05-04, version 2.0.3*

Very easy to follow along and great motivation!

### 5/5 — Looking for a great accountability community, look no more!

*2020-05-04, version 2.0.3*

CPG has a great mix of techniques, and tools in the arsenal to give you the best bang for you buck. If you’re busy juggling work, life, family, and your health. They offer a great consistent content that will challenge and get you the results.  I’v been training with Kb for about 4.5years and the thing I love the most about it is its simplicity. By no means easy but SIMPLE. No excuses! The Coaching staff lead by example, I’m hooked again! Thank you to staff for bringing the MoJo! Get you some!!

### 5/5 — Worth it!

*2020-05-04, version 2.0.3*

So awesome to have access to high quality workouts at home, including options that require zero equipment. Makes working out at home so simple!!

### 5/5 — Great for all levels!

*2020-05-04, version 2.0.3*

I’m a beginner and my boyfriend is experienced with kettle bells and we both got a lot out of the workouts. With body weight workouts as well as kettle bell work outs you don’t have to own a bell - but if you do decide to upgrade to the bell workouts they have plenty of tips and tutorials for how to do the exercises properly!

### 5/5 — Quality Workouts

*2020-05-04, version 2.0.3*

This is the first workout app and group that I have been consistently pleased with. I already see results.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2020-05-04, version 2.0.3*

I really enjoy CPG! The livestream workouts have been fantastic. The workouts are unique and adaptable, and the coaches are super fun and just all around amazing!

### 5/5 — Love CPG!

*2020-05-04, version 2.0.3*

CPG has done an amazing job putting out daily workouts that are both challenging and fun! The coaches are encouraging, supportive and extremely knowledgeable. I love that they include the option of body weight/no equipment workouts, especially when doing these at home. They have very helpful and thorough videos teaching proper form for kettlebell exercises on the app. I love the sense of community that the coaches and members have created, and I am so excited to have joined this crew!

### 5/5 — Awesome Workouts!

*2020-05-04, version 2.0.3*

CPG has done an incredible job providing daily workouts and other content, allowing me to get an awesome workout at home everyday. They do a great job of making the workouts challenging as well as fun. Liked it so much I started as a free trial member but now am looking forward to being a paying member. Can’t wait to be part of the tribe!

### 5/5 — Great workouts, intuitive interface

*2020-05-04, version 2.0.3*

This app provides dynamic, challenging kettlebell video workouts with bodyweight options for each exercise. No matter what equipment you have, you can follow along easily. The coaches are encouraging, funny, and good-looking, and the content is fresh and varied. You won’t get bored doing these workouts!

### 5/5 — I love this gym

*2020-05-04, version 2.0.3*

I downloaded this app during shelter-in-place when I could not go to my regular gym. These workouts are excellent and I am even more impressed by the community that Chicago Primal Gym has been able to build in a virtual environment. I look forward to maintaining my engagement with this group long after quarantine is over. Thanks crew!

### 5/5 — Great for on the go or full lockdown

*2020-05-04, version 2.0.3*

The app is super easy to navigate and provides all you need to keep up your fitness when you can’t make it to a live class. 

Having the option for 20 minute kettlebell workouts is great if you need/want to split your gym time or just want a more focused session. 

Access to fresh content daily is unheard of in most fitness apps but these guys/gals bring it everyday and keep it fresh!  Would recommend to anyone looking for a some more direction in their fitness programming without wanting to be a micromanaging psycho. Great job with this!!

### 1/5 — Don’t Download: App Developers Quit

*2024-01-05, version 2.0.5*

The app no longer works. Blank screen, no help center. The company apparently decided to quit updating it years ago. Just a heads up. Don’t even download.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2023-10-26, version 2.0.5*

the gym it’s connected to no longer exists

### 5/5 — Best Gym EVER!

*2020-06-08, version 2.0.5*

Chicago Primal Gym has the best online workouts ever! Very well organized! Very thorough! Very fun! Perfect! Amazing Trainers too!

### 5/5 — Godsend!

*2020-05-21, version 2.0.3*

Sean & Grant are amazing coaches. I like the 3 different programs offered (body weight/endurance/strength).  The production value is crisp, clear & the absence of music makes these workouts timeless.  The technique section on the app is nice to have to brush up on your form.  I started my love affair w/ KB back in 2006 but over time, structured cycling classes drew me away.  With no access to gym classes during the Pandemic, I dusted off my KB & found Kettlebell Swingers...I’m back, Baby!!😍

### 5/5 — Finally, an app that makes you excited to work out at home!

*2020-05-19, version 2.0.3*

I have been a member at CPG for 3 years and have been hooked ever since. It is such a rare thing to find a gym with coaches that motivate you as an individual to better yourself, and who also create such a strong sense of community. And now they have captured all of this in an app! I never thought I would be able to consistently work out at home, until now!

### 5/5 — Far More Than Just a Great Workout App

*2020-05-15, version 2.0.3*

Over the last 30 years, I’ve become increasingly more focused and driven to push myself, and consistently injecting new challenges and variety has been the key to sustaining the drive.  I’ve also slowly built a decent home gym over all these years so a lot of options were always at my disposal. Despite the options, I never really enjoyed or felt as consistently pushed than when simply going through flows with kettlebells.  
In my search for next challenge, I luckily stumbled on the 14 day trial for the Kettlebell Swing app and quickly found myself dripping in sweat after every workout and loved it.  It also isn’t just an app, and although I can now confidently say this is without question one the best workout apps in the store.  It’s far more than just a workout app, it’s an actual gym in Chicago that has created a community I can only equate to those I’ve seen in Crossfit gyms. Multiple instructors in each workout motivating and instructing/training on a variety of options for each session.  Everything about the experience has been so incredibly positive and I knew after only a couple workouts this was going to be something I wanted to continue using for the future.  I’ve already recommended this to a number of my friends, and feel confident this is something anyone wanting to feel better about themselves should try.

### 5/5 — great workouts!

*2020-05-13, version 2.0.3*

the daily swing workouts are awesome, especially to help stay motivated while at home. the coaches are so encouraging and super helpful!

### 5/5 — Great workouts, fun team!

*2020-05-13, version 2.0.3*

I did the 14-day trial and had a blast! It was nice to throw something new into the routine and the instructors are so much fun. They make you forget about the pain lol. They’re also REALLY good about explaining the moves to people who are new to kettlebells. I’m currently considering the paid membership once I start getting regular paychecks again.

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2020-05-13, version 2.0.3*

I love having great kettlebell workouts so accessible to me without leaving this house. The workouts are legit and they leave me feeling so accomplished! Highly recommended!

### 5/5 — Swingers

*2020-05-06, version 2.0.3*

This is a fantastic app! CPG did an excellent job of rolling out a user-friendly experience, especially during this time of at home workouts.

### 5/5 — Better than Peleton and no need to buy a 2k bike

*2020-05-05, version 2.0.3*

The CPG team is a passionate group of coaches who take the ultimate pride in improving ones overall fitness. The workouts are fun and no two days were the same which creates a lot of diversity!! No space, no problem. You don’t need a lot of space do a kettlebell workout and the equipment is typically less than $100. But there’s always a body weight option so equipment is always optional!

### 5/5 — Great home workouts!

*2020-05-05, version 2.0.3*

A great option for home workouts! Body weight and kettlebell options, great quality video, super excited and engaging coaches. The closes thing to having the community of CPG in my living room!
