### 4/5 — great app

*2022-02-19, version 1.0.0*

i love this app and i really like greg a lot however there doesn’t seem to be any meaningful difference between the levels in terms of difficulty. it seems totally random.

### 3/5 — Seems ok

*2021-09-05, version 1.0.0*

Exercise regimens seem short, although I guess I could do a couple or more in a row. Was hoping to pick for start to finish guided videos, this looks like I will have to stop frequently to view the next exercise.

### 3/5 — Too repetitive

*2021-03-01, version 1.0.0*

I like the idea of this app but even selecting two circuits I find the moves are being repeated. I don’t think there are enough of a variety of exercises in this app to make it worthwhile.

### 5/5 — Simple but effective

*2020-12-31, version 1.0.0*

Exactly what I was looking for to accompany my JAXJOX kettlebell. Great it’s free too. Would be good to have some recommended weight ranges for each exercise.

### 5/5 — Impressive!

*2020-10-17, version 1.0.0*

Woah, what an amazing app. Everything is so organized and easy to follow.

### 5/5 — Great app, wish it could record my workouts

*2020-08-16*

I’m loving this app and workout generator, which has definitely improved the frequency and effectiveness of my workouts.  The videos have improved my movements as well.  I do wish the app offered a feature in which I could simply track the days I’ve worked out with which routines.

### 5/5 — Transformational and sustainable

*2020-08-06, version 1.0.0*

Greg,

Your WOD are fantastic! I've been using it for the last few months. I started off on the beginner w/ a 15 lb bell. I've moved to intermediate w/ a 35 lb bell. I've combined your WOD with intermittent fasting and an improved diet. Additionally, I also do pushups 4x day (increasing them by 1 each week), planks & 35lb side bends 2x/day. I'm getting stronger & my body is transforming. 

As a former weight room addict, the randomness & structure of your WOD keep things very interesting - nothing boring...

THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO

### 5/5 — Great app

*2020-08-04, version 1.0.0*

Thank you for creating this great app. Being able to generate random routines helps keep training fresh and challenging.

### 5/5 — Kettlebell wizardry for everyone!

*2020-07-04, version 1.0.0*

This app is a great complimentary to Greg’s programmes, or just as effective on its own. From beginner to advanced, it’s got everything you need, including built in ‘how to do it right’ pictorial instructions, plus links to Greg’s excellent demonstration videos. Greg himself is the ‘kettlebell Wizard’. Using his workouts and advice has transformed me over the last 4-5 years from a flabby middle aged desk based manager to a toned and lean man approaching retirement, sporting a six pack for the first time in my life! Can’t recommend Greg’s workouts and advice highly enough. They take up so little time and can be done entirely from home with minimal equipment.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2020-06-25*

Kettlebells are my main mode of training on a daily basis.  I have advanced arthritis and love the mobility and strength gained from using the app. I have used almost all of Greg’s workouts with great success, he is a great instructor with great training aids.  
I love the new workouts WOD, everyday is different.  The two forms of instruction are excellent as form is everything with Kettlebells. 
I wish: 1. User could record workout, right now I screenshot the app and save in daily notes.  2. As others have stated, please give us a back button.  
All in all, I love the app and will continue to use in between Greg’s other workouts. 
Thank you Greg!

### 1/5 — Nothing works

*2025-10-25, version 1.0.0*

I can see exercises but I can't select them and I can't go back. It's just a constant "next workout"

### 1/5 — Major bug

*2025-05-27, version 1.0.0*

The app crashes a lot and doesn’t allow you to click through to the exercises.  Please fix

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2025-04-01, version 1.0.0*

App doesn’t work. None of the exercises are clickable. It just freezes up every single time. Reboot the phone, re install the app, nothing works. It’s been a waste of time

### 2/5 — Was great but doesn’t work anymore

*2025-08-11, version 1.0.0*

Not sure if they just stopped supporting the app but I no longer works. Nothing is clickable much less being able to see how to perform the exercises. Hope they fix it because it was great

### 2/5 — App froze.. can’t move forward or see examples! Help!

*2025-05-07, version 1.0.0*

Would love this if it wasn’t frozen…

### 2/5 — Begin again?

*2024-09-24, version 1.0.0*

I  recently had total knee replacement and I would like to start back at the beginning again, but can’t work out how to do this!
Used to love this app. Any hints?

### 3/5 — Nice clear clear instructions

*2025-11-26, version 1.0.0*

Would pay for this app if I could go back.. need to start over but can’t!

### 3/5 — Great starter app!

*2025-09-15*

Great app to get started on the kettle bell. It does freeze up sometimes and needs more workouts with the bell. Overall it would be a 5 star with more workouts and not freezing. If it is freezing on you and not playing the video then close it, reopen and hit the “i” in the upper right corner then hit done and it seems to fix it.

### 3/5 — Doesn’t work properly

*2025-08-13, version 1.0.0*

Only once I have seen the beginner, intermediate and advanced tabs at the top.  Only once have I been able to click on each exercise and it show me the moves.  Poor performance of the app which is a shame as the concept is great.

### 3/5 — Videos no longer play

*2022-04-07, version 1.0.0*

The videos that accompany the workouts no longer play.

### 5/5 — Probably the best

*2024-12-16, version 1.0.0*

The app is free, period. Love the choice of difficulty and everyday the workouts are different.

### 5/5 — Best ever - solid

*2024-10-19, version 1.0.0*

Great app - I’ve had it a few years and I use it steadily.

### 5/5 — Spot on!

*2024-01-09*

Excellent app. Been using it for a year now and it never gets old. Good variety, random routines, clear examples …and all for free! The one thing on my wish list is that the app would sync with Apple health. But that won’t stop me my continued use of the app. Well done! Thank you.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2023-03-22, version 1.0.0*

I don’t often review apps as I find the ones you pay for are never worth the money and always wanting more and more money from you. This app is completely free and is better than some of the paid apps. Nice basic layout making it easy to use. Lots to choose from in terms of different workout moves and abilities. You can use it for ideas to incorporate into your own workout or follow the sets of workouts on the app. Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2022-09-28, version 1.0.0*

So unbelievably cool that this app is free with no in app purchases or pay walls. Such a nice and refreshing feeling to find a genuinely great and useful workout app.

### 5/5 — Nice. Wish I could save the workouts.

*2021-12-29*

Greg’s site is great. Full of useful information and videos. This app is really well done. I really enjoy the nice streamlined and minimalist feel. 
When I need inspiration or a way to mix up a KB workout, this Wizard generates random excises based on skill level. 

I just wish I could save the workouts for later 😝

### 5/5 — Simple but effective!

*2021-07-14, version 1.0.0*

I used to trawl through YouTube vids looking for KB workouts, and doing them and listening to the trainer waffle on before I could do the workout... this app is so much better. Simple and you go on, click,  follow the circuit and done. Marvelous. No waiting or messing about. Great animations & vids of the excersizes too. Cannot fault this. Not too much & not too little. No gimmicks & too many options. 3 levels of workouts to choose from & auto generated each time. Love it!

### 5/5 — Great kettlebell app

*2021-06-07*

This app is awesome. No frills, get right to business…get in, get sweaty, get out, done. I love how it scrambles a new workout for you each time. This is a great standalone workout or a great “finisher.” I wish there was a way to save specific workouts, but I guess that’s also part of getting stronger is to keep your body guessing with each workout. Complete 2-4 circuits for each workout, the time flies by! Great quick video tutorials helps you quickly get the hang of exercises you are unsure of. I love how it’s a silent app (no talking, buzzing, music or chiming-again I love this!) so keep a watch close by to keep an eye on your rest time in between circuits.

### 5/5 — Simple and easy

*2021-03-16, version 1.0.0*

Simple to use, easy-to-follow instructions with video demonstrations. Great app!

### 5/5 — Just perfect

*2021-02-01*

True magic of this app comes from it’s simplicity. Just grab your bells, open it up, and training plan lies before you. Want more challenge? Do couple of sets or switch difficulty. If you have couple of bells you can change them depending on the exercise. It just works.
