Always full of variety and flexibility and his all-Canadian holy smokes and child rearing adventures thrown in to remind us we can all squeeze time out of our busy lives to get fit and stay fit! Yay Lean-Squad! ### 5/5 — LEANSQUAD *2023-06-05* Like the way the program progresses and his stories are very motivating don’t change a thing I’m in the 3th phase started with the NewYear and really gut me going keep up the good **Developer response:** This is awesome to hear, keep the leanness going! ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2023-05-29* I’ve been doing Leansquad since before there was an app and it was great then. But since the app I’ve been able to mix things up and choose challenges at will or just do an on demand workout. Best workout app I’ve used to date. ### 5/5 — Best fitness app out there! *2023-05-26* This app is simply amazing! I’ve been doing LEANSQUAD for a bit over a year and it has completely changed my life. With this app, you will never need the gym again!!! This app has workouts for everyone, amazing lean recipes and a on demand section. This program is “DA BOMB!” **Developer response:** Yannicke, your effort and consistency is truly inspiring, keep up the amazing work! Thank you for your review. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2023-05-18* Great workouts with lots of variety! Phil is great and the app is easy to navigate with lots of great information. Thanks Phil! ### 5/5 — Great at home workouts *2023-05-18* I was spending $200 a month to go to a gym. Each session was an hour long and felt like a drill camp. I decided to give at home workouts a try instead as the gym just didn’t seem worth it and I wasn’t seeing results. I got lean squad after following some of the recipes on instagram. I can’t say enough great things! The price is a fraction of the cost, I have time to squeeze them in no matter what and the coach is working out with us right there. AND I’m seeing results! Love love love! ### 5/5 — Love it *2023-05-18* Such great workouts! ### 5/5 — Best work out program *2023-05-16* Love love love leansquad! Phil is so motivating and funny and his workouts are the best! ### 5/5 — Loving LeanSquad! *2023-05-16* EDIT - changed to 5 stars as a tech rep from the app reached out right after I left my last review and helped me set up the app to my tv. I’ve been doing LEANSQUAD for over a year now and absolutely love it! I joined LEANSQUAD two months ago and it has already made such a positive impact on my life. Phil’s energy is so palpable and he’s put together amazing workouts that are fun, convenient, challenging, progressive, and motivating! He also has great daily recipes and meal plans to help you reach your goals. I’ve noticed changes in the way my clothes fit, my energy levels, and my confidence - I can’t wait to continue to grow with these programs! My only complaint is that I was unable to connect the app to my tv, so I’ve been doing the workout videos on my computer. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the LEANTASTIC review; I am happy to hear that you are enjoying the LEANSQUAD App!! Can you please email us at info@lean-squad.com so we can help sort out the issue with connecting your app to your television! ### 5/5 — I am addicted💪 *2023-05-15* I look forward to the lean squad workouts every day. One of the only programs I have been able to stick to. Thank you so much Phil. ### 5/5 — Awesome Gym in an App! *2023-05-15* I use this app daily- for my workouts, to connect with others, and even for recipe inspiration. Love it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — The app is free but that’s it ! *2024-12-12* As soon as you login you have to pay bummer :( ### 1/5 — So many bugs with this App *2024-12-08* This app is not user friendly. Have reached out for help in the past and the bugs and issues have not been resolved. ### 1/5 — Won’t open *2021-12-04, version 1.0.3* I can not get my app to open it keeps saying there is an error and to try again. The web version is great and I love the concept but the actual app isn’t working ### 2/5 — So many bugs with this App *2024-12-15, version 1.16.1* This app is not user friendly. It constantly glitches. Have reached out for help with app glitches multiple times in the past and received no response sadly. Enjoy the workouts, but it’s a pity that the App has so many issues and there’s no customer support. ### 2/5 — Buggy *2023-06-04, version 1.12.2* Great workouts but so many bugs. App freezes, continues with just audio and no video, etc - I’ll remove this review if these issues are fixed. ### 3/5 — The workouts and program are great *2022-05-04, version 1.3.1* I would highly recommend Leansquad. Phil is a master at giving you choice to amazing programs and recipes. My rating for 3 stars is that the app itself is glitchy and really needs to be programmed to make it seamless playing it to your tv. One example is that if your phone locks after 5 minutes the video will not continue to play it freezes and kicks you out. You then have to start the video from the beginning and fast forward to where you left off. I end up turning off my auto lock so that I can play it without interruption. There are a few more glitchy things, but I think the review gives you the gist. ### 4/5 — Great overall, but app has issues *2025-08-18* Please dude, fix the bugginess of the app. It really impacts how usable it is. Lean lift 1.0 shows week 2 at the top but displays the exercises and video from week 1. Have also had issues with start date and with all the exercises not being listed. This app helped me lose 30 lbs and I feel more fit and attractive than I ever had, but the business has me thinking about other options. ### 4/5 — Great workouts! App can be improved! *2023-05-22* The workouts are so good! I can keep up but they’re still challenging. I can see the difference in my body after a month. HOWEVER, the app needs improvement. I keep losing my place if I pause or click out of the app. It constantly loses my place so I have to restart the workouts and try to figure out where I left off. Also I haven’t been able to open it up at all today. It keeps closing out. ### 4/5 — Great App and program! *2023-02-22* I love everything about LeanSquad! My only complaint (and the reason I’m only giving it 4 stars) is that you can’t “favourite” recipes for easy reference (the same way it lets you favourite workouts). Regardless I’ll continue to use this app and will enjoy every moment! ### 4/5 — Highly recommend *2022-11-10* Love this app!! Just wish there were longer work outs - and more Prenatal and postnatal workouts. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The best workout you will ever have *2024-10-09* I found Leansquad from seeing recipes on instagram, and decided to give it a try. I was blown away! It’s incredibly effective in a short (20-30 mins) amount of time. Every second is utilized, but there’s such variety and Phil is so upbeat that you’ll never be bored and you’ll end each workout feeling like every part of your body has been engaged. Best of all, Phil is just an absolute ray of sunshine. You feel like he’s working out right there with you. Positive, caring, and I trust his knowledge of health and training. I feel genuinely welcomed. The opposite vibe of Peloton, tbh. I’m a middle aged woman and have woken up the reality that I will now have to put in some effort to keep myself healthy and fit. I could not be more grateful to have run across Phil at this time! ### 5/5 — An amazing fitness companion *2024-06-15* LEANSQUAD by Phil Mackenzie is changing my life, my attitude and my body. After doing a 21-day challenge, I have more energy, I don’t feel the need to nap in the day anymore, I feel better about myself and more confident. Phil exercises with you in HIIT sessions, but he gives much more than just tuition, he has taught me how to have a better mindset when it comes to showing up to the mat. Here’s to more challenges! ### 5/5 — Fool proof push *2024-06-05* Phil is great! He’s not intimidating and has options for all. But just because he’s not intimidating doesn’t mean you won’t be doing an intense workout. If you’re a beginner or expert….. these workouts will push you. Just be careful… you might just feel ridiculously good after. ### 5/5 — Leansquad For The Win! *2024-06-03* I love the Leansquad app for accessing workouts at whatever time / place I want to do them. The periodic challenges are a great way to amp up your workouts for a few weeks here and there. Phil’s energy and inclusive, fun attitude makes everyone at every fitness level feel encouraged. I was hesitant to commit to another app - but I’m glad I did! Five stars: lots of fun and you’ll feel stronger every workout! ### 5/5 — Feeling amazing! *2024-05-10* I have tried many workout apps and different programs to keep me motivated but this has been the best one yet and one that I actually enjoy doing! I work 12-14 hour days and have no time before of after shift to get a workout in! I know that with the time I have at work I can get this done and having a garage gym allows to me to get a workout in on my days off! I love the lean lift challenge, and would def recommend this app to anyone at any level of fitness to keep you moving and feeling strong and healthy! #noexcuses ### 5/5 — Lean Squad *2024-02-25* I am doing the 30 day challenge for, I believe, the 4th time in 3 years. I did well in the beginning, completing about 6 months of workouts. I lost weight, felt incredible, and could play and run all day with my 5 year son, and I was 56-57 years old. Then life and circumstances and illnesses came around. But…I have begun again, and after 3 weeks, I feel rejuvenated. I can see and feel real change, and so can my wife and son. And that is who I am doing it for. My son is just turning 8 and I need to be able to enjoy my time with him. Thank you Phil and Lean Squad for giving me the means and motivation to change, not only physically, but even more importantly, mentally. ### 5/5 — Amazing for postpartum *2024-01-31* This app was incredible while I was pregnant and then after I had my daughter! Great workouts that are safe and just the right level for recovery. It was a lifesaver for me mentally as well and being able to fit it in 30 minutes during a nap with minimal equipment. ### 5/5 — BEST FOLLOW ALONG HOME PROGRAM! *2024-01-08* I’ve searched high and low for a home program and LeanSquad is the best one around. His new lifting at home is exactly what I’ve been looking for. This program has had such a positive impact on my mental health I will be forever grateful. It’s easy to follow, minimal equipment with unreal results. Just keep going! Consistency over perfection. He will inspire and push you to do your best at every workout! ### 5/5 — Totally worth it! *2024-01-07* Having a toddler and a baby now I just couldn’t get the motivation to start working out again but this app is helping me so much doing the workouts as he’s doing them with me makes them go by so fast and motivates me to keep going! ### 5/5 — Leansquad lifer *2023-12-30* This app is the best fitness app out there. I am on a 547 day streak thanks to Phil and his app. His workouts are so efficient. The big imdifference with other apps… there is no time wasted with setups or a lot of talking about what you are going to do. You just get right to the workout. You may not know the exercise but you can always catch on really quickly. I have had great results and can’t live without this fitness program. You won’t regret it.
