### 1/5 — AVOID

*2023-05-27, version 2.8.29*

I used this service for a while, was given bad advice, pressured to lose weight, gaslit on the forums. They front as an inclusive and fun program but in reality it’s a toxic, cult-like environment

### 1/5 — Scam

*2023-02-24*

Total scam. Waste of money. There is no actual coaching—it’s just basically a habit tracker that you customize. I bought a six month package and stopped after three months because it was a total waste of time. I had no progress against any of my goals and the “coach” could see that and clearly didn’t care. It’s too bad as the philosophy of NF resonates with me, but this was a scam.

### 1/5 — would not recommend

*2022-09-27*

app is awful, would not recommend the coaching program either - scammy and uses template messages, no live interaction with coach

### 1/5 — Format is a disaster

*2022-08-07*

If you know how to research and vet trainers/coaches, NF is not worth $200/month.  When I tried to schedule a call, I didn’t get one of the coaches but a member of a sales team who I knew was not qualified to answer specific questions I had about how to arrange a program that would work for me.  I demanded she put one of the coaches on the line when I discovered this.  She refused.

This is all you really need to know.  The NF team doesn’t understand that by forcing you to commit before you can be matched with a coach, you basically have to go through a double consult which means there is a reasonable chance you’ll draw a coach you won’t hit off with.  It also indicates that the NF team does not trust the coaches to do their jobs which includes consulting potential clients, something the team refuses to accept.  You’re better off spending extra money for an in-person certified trainer and registered dietician, unless of course you’re penny pinching or clueless on how to research coaches.

### 3/5 — Great service, ok app

*2022-05-04*

I want to be clear that this isn’t a review of the nerd fitness program as a whole–just the app. I’m loving my experience with my coach overall. The app does a really poor job with notifications. I’ll see on my Home Screen that I have one, then open the app and see nothing new in my Notification Center. Rather, the Notification Center is literally an archive of every single notification I’ve ever received from an unlocked achievement to a thumbs up from my coach in a pages-long list, and the notifications are all marked as seen/inactive. I’d like to be able to see just new notifications from the last 24-48 hours or last 3 logins or something like that, and for notifications that came up as a banner to stay active until I’ve viewed them in the Notification Center at least once. Since all communication with your coach is remote in this program, seeing new messages and notifications is key to being on the same page with them. When you see an endless list of viewed notifications and the new ones don’t stand out, it’s a letdown and barrier to feeling connected.

### 3/5 — Needs polish

*2021-09-24*

Lots of clicks to record workouts.  Many errors on notifications. Good for centralizing coaching activities.

### 4/5 — Recent update has an issue

*2021-09-23, version 2.7.6*

Hi there,

Your recent update has an issue when creating a food entry. 

Steps to reproduce:
Open app
Tap on “Food log”, food log screen appears as per normal.
Tap on date to modify the date.  Date flashes but no control appears to modify the date. 
Tap on the calendar icon, same results.

Same experience exists when editing the food log after it is created. 

Phone information:
IPhone 12
iOS 14.7.1

### 1/5 — App will not open

*2021-09-23, version 2.7.6*

Please fix.

### 5/5 — App: meh. Coaching: really nice!

*2021-08-15*

I’ve been using this service for a couple years now and I’ve had a great experience with my coach. I’ve hit a bunch of health milestones: flexibility, building muscle mass, being able to get off the floor without making the get-off-the-floor noise. Really nice! That’s the five stars right there.

The app itself is nothing to write home about. That’s kind of fine with me, though… the app is just a tool; it can’t do the work for me. Are there things I’d do differently? Sure! But the rough edges rarely get in the way of my workouts or communicating with my coach and they’re consistently making improvements, so good enough!

### 5/5 — I’m a Nerd Fitness Fan Girl

*2021-04-16*

I’ve been a Nerd Fitness customer for several years and am a big fan. The app really helps to keep track of my data and my relationship with my coach. The Nerd Fitness team is constantly evolving and coming up with new content. Like all coaching relationships you get out of it what you put into it. Because it’s virtual it does take a little more effort but I think it is worth it for the personalized relationship with people who are like minded, non-shamey and super freakin’ friendly.
