### 3/5 — App needs serious improvement

*2026-03-06, version 4.00.06*

The app lacks basic common sense features. For example it is very difficult to find how to row in freestyle mode (free to use & no charge). The app is designed to force you to pay for a subscription for classes and so on. It also does not sync with Strava, which really needs to be added!!

All this said I love the rowing machine itself!! Highly recommend the hardware!!! I bought the add on to record distance rowed and that keeps me tied to this app, unfortunately. Sigh.

### 2/5 — Can’t see past weight details

*2025-11-18, version 4.00.06*

Good workouts but it’s crazy you can’t look at a detailed log to know what weight you last lifted do a particular exercise. You’re asked to track that level of detail but then there is no way for the user to view it. Come on, Lit - that’s BASIC FUNCTIONALITY for a lifting app.

### 4/5 — Love the workouts

*2025-11-11, version 4.00.06*

BUT the app behaves very erratically when switching between rest periods and exercises .  At times the audio, the timer and the next sequent of rest and exercises are all jumbled up.  I wish it behaved better as it takes my focus away from the workout yo fiddling with the app.

### 3/5 — Glitchy, no reporting option

*2025-11-06, version 4.00.06*

There really needs to be a way to report problems with this app.  First, a lot of the voice overs are wrong which is just annoying so I end up turning off the instructor sound altogether. Second, the app tends to freeze up when trying to submit/log your workout so you have to go back in and “workout” again to record it. Most recently, the date is a day off. For example, I just did a workout today (Wednesday) but it marked that it was done on Thursday (tomorrow), so that’s been extra annoying.   Also, why is there an option to log your reps and weight  if you can’t even go back to reference  them later?  Logging is totally pointless and it took me way too long to figure out.  I’m giving the app 3 stars because the  workout themselves are good, the app however is not.

### 2/5 — This app feels like a scam

*2025-10-06, version 4.00.06*

I do not understand how this app has such high reviews. The app is so glitchy to the point that it can take me 10-15 minutes just to get it to open and then once it finally does it won’t load the work outs or programs. Turn back, do not waste your money. I shouldn’t have to struggle this much just to get to a work out-would rather just use YouTube. Customer service isn’t super helpful…..they just ask me a bunch of questions and then by the time they’re on question 50 the app finally loads. Full disclosure, I am using the “free” trial but would never spend money on this. It’s done nothing for me but raise my blood pressure. Lol.

### 1/5 — Glitchy and not intuitive

*2025-09-03, version 4.00.03*

I got a 6 month membership through FabFitFun. First, there was nowhere to enter my code on the app. I had to go through the website which also didn’t work. Customer service eventually emailed me a personalized checkout link to enter my code, and I was able to log in. But then there was nothing there for me to update goals and such. I clicked on “recommended programs” and it was empty and said these are my programs based on my goals. But I wasn’t able to set goals, and there’s nowhere in the app to set them. Again, emailed customer service who basically gaslit me. They were like “you set your goals during your onboarding process” and told me to click “recommended programs” to find them. I literally had emailed them telling them the recommended programs tab was empty. Their reply again was “can you confirm that during your onboarding process you were able to input goals because they should be there.” THERE WAS NO ONBOARDING PROCESS. It was recommended I uninstall and reinstall which I did, but still nothings they gave me another option for building a program but that program want based on my individual goals. What’s the point? I’m still waiting to hear back from customer service again about the fact that there was still no onboarding. The app takes forever to load when you open it on top of all else. It’s just a bust all around and I wish I’d chosen something else in my FabFitFun box

### 1/5 — Outdated content for Lit Axis

*2025-07-13, version 4.00.03*

I wanted the Lit Axis bands for some time and unfortunately waited until 2025 to purchase. Big mistake . . . HUGE . . . They were redesigned a year+ ago to what their support tell you is “new and improved “. Couldn’t be further from the truth. That said, this review is about the app. 

First the app is difficult to get to open and load and completely less than intuitive. 

Worse though the content is old, what content there is was created with the original version of the Lit axis and many of the exercise can’t exactly be recreated. I know subscription pricing is the way know but I won’t pay for a “subscription” where no new content is being added and what content there is was created for a different product.

### 2/5 — App needs serious improvement

*2025-05-23, version 3.06.03*

The app lacks basic common sense features. For example you cannot use your own music. It is very difficult to find how to row in freestyle mode (free to use & no charge). The app is designed to force you to pay for a subscription for classes and so on. All this said I love the rowing machine itself!! Highly recommend the hardware!!! I bought the add on to record distance rowed and that keeps me tied to this app. Sigh.

### 1/5 — App is terrible

*2024-12-13, version 3.04.03*

Just a heads up, the app is terrible. It will refuse to work about every 4-5 days. It will erase your history data, so good luck tracking stats long term. Need to pair it constantly. Just bad, been trying to get it to work for about 15 minutes this morning already, just so I can track my row distance . Wouldn’t recommend, get a real rower

### 1/5 — I used to love the Pilates band program….

*2024-09-04, version 3.02.03*

When I first signed up for Lit I was obsessed. There were a ton of new classes and the bands metrics were measures separately. That view went away in late 2023 and customer service team said it was a big and would be fixed with the new updates. Every time I checked it was another excuse. The issue has still not been resolved and there are no new Pilates band classes. I’m sad to leave Lit since I loved the workouts so much but I’m not going to keep paying for a membership where I repeat the same classes over and over again.

### 1/5 — The app doesn’t work

*2024-07-30, version 3.02.01*

I created an account and went through the steps to set things up. When it says “generating program” it freezes at 52% indefinitely…

### 3/5 — Wish there was a rewind / forward feature

*2024-07-10, version 3.01.04*

Adding to the developer response: the scrub feature is what is frustrating when rewinding and fast forwarding. I know how to scrub on the player. Lots of streaming services have a button that allow you to move 10-20 seconds forward and backwards. That’s the main issue.  

I’m enjoying the app but I do wish there was an option to rewind or fast forward 10-20 seconds within the app. Sometimes I need time to adjust and can’t pause fast enough before the instructor moves on. So I have to try and guess where to move back to and almost always go back too far - then fast forward too far ahead to get back to where I was. This can be very frustrating when I’m already exhausted and just trying to finish my workout. Other than that the routines have been very helpful.

### 1/5 — Can’t get past the main screen

*2024-07-04, version 3.01.04*

Just that. I have a free subscription I can’t use since the app won’t work. The app freezes asking how motivated I am. After so many times, the answer is now unmotivated. We spent so much on this purchase but the app does not work???

### 4/5 — Wish there was a rewind / forward feature

### 1/5 — Not working

*2024-06-18, version 3.01.01*

I just downloaded the app and it won’t even open…

### 4/5 — Helps me to start working out again

*2024-05-30, version 3.00.04*

This program is very helpful in getting me on track with working out again. Some difficulties at times with syncing the lit axis so my TUT & lbs lifted is often inaccurate. I also wish there’s an option to modify my own workout schedule, instead of going along with the program. It’s good for people who likes things already planned for them, but unfortunately my work schedule can’t always accommodate the preplanned workout sched

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — No Real Coaching

*2026-03-14, version 4.00.06*

The coaching feature is an absolute joke. You take the the time to fill out the evaluation and then 1) never get a response and 2) can’t send a message to follow up.

### 1/5 — App out of service

*2025-11-17, version 4.00.06*

Can’t log in. Just spins. Can’t end subscription. Watch out.  Lost a lot of money and can’t get a refund.

### 1/5 — Terrible customer service

*2025-11-15, version 4.00.06*

I got a trial of this app through a paid service and have not over two months been able to even open the app.  The customer service is very poor and have asked me to provide my password via email for them to test their own app. Ultimately, I have no idea if they app so any good because they can’t even figure out the basics for logging in. Really disappointing.

### 1/5 — Workouts are good, but can’t access them

*2025-11-11, version 4.00.06*

The workouts are good, but I’ve been having issues accessing my account across multiple devices. I’ve reached out for help many times, but received no proper help in fixing this issue. Very disappointing as I’ve subscribed for years and when I actually want to use it, I can’t.

### 1/5 — Can’t even log in

*2025-11-09, version 4.00.06*

Really buggy app. I got the free trial but I can’t even start using it because it won’t let me log in

### 1/5 — App is terrible

*2025-10-30, version 4.00.06*

Ready to row? Well I hope you have an additional 30 minutes before hand to get the app connected, cause it won’t work, then when it does it will not save your data. Do yourself a favor and do not tie yourself to this company!

### 1/5 — Annoyed

*2025-10-28, version 4.00.06*

I have set my profile up multiple times for some reason it’s not saving. Signed up for the six months can’t even login to cancel because it takes forever to load and yes, I have good signal and it’s the only app I have this issue with.

### 1/5 — Faulty and inconsistent

*2025-10-27, version 4.00.06*

App rarely works. It takes forever to load and constantly logs me out. It took me almost 10 minutes to log in the other day and when I finally logged in, all my data was removed. App has too many bugs, would suggest using any other fitness apps

### 1/5 — Making me start over??!

*2025-09-13, version 4.00.06*

Why in the world was I forced to take an update that is now forcing me to start my entire workout and profile all over again? The entire point of trying this app was to have a progressive program.  Now I am a week in and you make me start over??? You should never be charging anyone for the clunky nature of the app but this is a deal breaker.  It is the fundamental purpose of an exercise program app.  Horrid

### 1/5 — What happened to this app?!

*2025-09-06, version 4.00.04*

It wasn’t never great to begin with but it’s worse now. I can’t edit how many days I plan to work out. All my old stats are gone. Also no new AXIS workouts I could see which is why I purchased this subscription.

### 5/5 — 💯

*2024-11-21, version 3.03.03*

Informative content and love the energy program

### 5/5 — Great way to get going

*2024-11-03, version 3.03.02*

LIT method is a great way to restart an exercise routine. It’s easy to set up and follow. The classes are energetic and quick paced!

### 5/5 — Mom 51

*2024-11-01, version 3.03.02*

I bough  LIT AXIS, I love the access to work out anywhere and the system, I wish bit access to app offline.

### 5/5 — Loving my Lit Row Machine

*2024-06-23, version 3.01.04*

I recently purchased the LIT Method Row Machine, and it has exceeded my expectations in every way. The build quality is exceptional, offering a sturdy and smooth rowing experience that mimics being on the water. The interactive workouts and real-time feedback keep me motivated and engaged during each session. The versatility of the machine, allowing for both rowing and resistance training, makes it a comprehensive home gym solution. Overall, it's a fantastic investment for anyone serious about their fitness journey.

### 5/5 — Rower

*2024-03-23, version 2.04.08*

So far loving this! Work outs are great for all levels and easy enough for the absolute beginner!

### 5/5 — Lit axis sculpt and strengthen.

*2024-03-21, version 2.04.08*

This might be my favorite class. Justin is an excellent leader. Unfortunately one of the 30lb band broke. Hopefully it can be replaced quickly.

### 5/5 — Endless exercise variarty

*2024-03-02, version 2.04.08*

Very impressed with the customized work out plans especially when I don't like a particular exercise it seems theres an endless supply of alternatives.

### 5/5 — Best Fitness App and Program

*2024-03-02, version 2.04.08*

This is the best and most comprehensive fitness app in the market. The LIT Method Team have created an incredibly intuitive algorithm to fitness that is complimented well by the band, rower and fitness accessories. I couldn’t be more happy with this program which feels like a custom personal trainer at home.

### 5/5 — BEST APP EVER

*2024-03-02, version 2.04.08*

This will change your life!!! No better app

### 5/5 — Great app

*2024-02-29, version 2.04.08*

I like the virtual assistant that suggests workouts based on goals and previous workouts. You can also search by body area of focus, instructor and other parameters which makes finding a workout to do that day very easy. Also, the number of workouts available seems LIMITLESS, there are so many I can’t imagine going through all of them or getting bored.
