Some weeks they will upload all the new videos, some weeks only some of them will be there… ### 4/5 — Updates?? *2025-04-21, version 8.801.1* The videos are old and there are no new updates. Would love to see more recent workouts. ### 3/5 — No new updates *2024-08-02, version 8.200.1* I don’t have the app, I just did the free trial. I wanted to love this but it doesn’t even look like there has been any new content since March (it’s currently August). Considering it doesn’t seem to be updated regularly, I’m passing on this purchase. Side note: the workouts were fun as well as the banter. If this starts to be updated on a normal schedule, I would buy. ### 4/5 — New workouts *2023-01-24, version 7.800.1* I’d love some new workouts. I’m okay reusing some but the early ones there’s no timer and they’re not the best at telling you when rounds start. ### 4/5 — Unique and fun! *2023-01-14, version 7.800.1* I am an enormous fan of the show, which is probably 80% of why I love this app. Jess and Whitney do chat a lot, but honestly that’s part of why I love it because I feel like I’m just hanging out with them. It feels less sterile than a typical workout video. I do wish there was a little bit more work out length which is the reason for the one star off, I feel like the warm up and cool down are So much longer than they need to be, so the actual work out sometimes isn’t even 15 minutes! (although for people who are very immobile, this would be perfect so keep that in mind. ) However the work around with that is just a tack on another work out, there are plenty to choose from, and I will continue to be a subscriber ! ### 5/5 — Love this group *2022-10-25, version 7.620.1* Amazing, busy day friendly workouts. The cardio ones in particular get my heart pumping in such a short amount of time. These videos make it easy and fun to workout and the option to modify exercises based on your fitness level makes even novice fitness enthusiasts feel strong and capable. Highly recommend this group and this app to anyone who wants to add a little mental and physical well-being jolt to their healthy habits!! ### 5/5 — Really love the content! *2022-10-13, version 7.620.1* I can’t believe how much content is available! Really enjoy the variety and that you can mix & match videos when you have extra time. App is easy to use & love that I can access it on the go! Whitney & Jessica are great! ### 5/5 — Finally! *2022-10-10, version 7.620.1* Finally found a program that gives me the freedom to move as much as I can, and shows me ways to move more and increase the ways in which I do. ### 5/5 — All kinds of yes *2022-10-04, version 7.620.1* As the title says: all kinds of yes!!! ### 5/5 — The best workout app ever! *2022-09-22, version 7.620.1* I love this workout app! It feels like I’m there with Whit and Jess hanging out, working out 😁 (I watch the show too) I just love that there are modified versions and they create exercises that look simple but actually target those muscles we work on that day! Love it! Thank you ladies! It’s genius! ### 5/5 — This App is One of a Kind! *2022-08-31, version 7.620.1* I love the message of body positivity that this app provides. In a world where women are driven to look and be perfect, Whitney Way Thore has been a leader in body acceptance and self love. Whitney and Jessica show us that you can be thin or big and enjoy activity and strength training. I like the feature of the live workouts once a month. I also like the NEW workouts throughout the week. My husband even wants to start working out with me and this app! ❤️ Thanks Whitney and Jessica! ### 5/5 — Great app! Love the workouts! *2022-08-24, version 7.620.1* Great app! Love the workouts! ### 5/5 — Best workouts everrrrrrr *2022-08-22, version 7.620.1* I’ve been working out with Whitney since Feb 2021. I was a quarantine couch potato. These workouts have helped me gain strength and tone. I actually look forward to exercising!!! ### 5/5 — Great variety! *2022-08-19, version 7.620.1* Love these workouts! This is what has been missing the workout world for a long time!! Something is always better than nothing! Thanks Jessica & Whitney ### 3/5 — Not for me *2022-08-14, version 7.620.1* I love Whitney’s story and her show on TLC, I so badly wanted to like this app too. The app is not for me, the videos feel a little unorganized and I wish they had full yoga sessions rather than just stretch videos. I do however see the appeal for many others and wish Whitney lots of luck on her journey. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Total scam *2022-01-28, version 7.205.3* Minimal content, and one of the trainers doesn’t even do anything. This app is a scam. There’s much better content for free on YouTube ### 1/5 — Not good *2021-12-19* Not a very good app long to load and not much detail ### 1/5 — Terrible *2021-11-05, version 7.205.1* Don’t waste your money. This app is garbage. If your a bigger girl you will be disappointed with the poor form and lack of motivation in Whitney. She can “meditate” as in sit there and do nothing. Real meditation will be much better for you. Her improper form will not help anyone. This app is terrible. ### 2/5 — Not what I expected *2025-09-16, version 8.801.1* I love listening to you both. the camera angle and sound are not inviting. I was looking forward to this but will not subscribe ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2023-11-26, version 8.200.1* I am a fan of the show for sure! I admire Whitney and I love the fact that she has done something so incredible for the world. I have suffered from eating disorders since age nine. I also relate to panic attacks, perhaps due to low self esteem, self hatred combined with the drive to be “perfect.” I grew up as an athlete and continued to workout through the years at the gym. I have slowly over the past year or so started to become isolated, increasingly self conscious of what people are thinking of me which has led to social withdrawal. It’s not me! I work as an RN. I put everything into work and my excuse that I am “too tired”. I am bummed out with the app. There seems to be a disconnect from what I thought would be a very accessible workout. Something that I didn’t need to join before starting. It feels very intimidating and almost like another place I don’t belong. Sorry to everyone for the long review. If anyone even cares to read once they see how much I have written…Yeesh! I just want to get healthy physically. Thanks ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2022-10-19, version 7.620.1* Was hoping for better quality Didn’t finish the free trial. Would try again in the future though ### 2/5 — Lack Luster *2022-10-07, version 7.620.1* I love Jess and Whitney and I really had high hopes this would be the workout app for me but after trying several videos I barely feel like I’m getting a workout. The enthusiasm to workout is missing and it seems they are barely giving any effort! Jess is doing a medium intensity at best and Whitney is ……we’ll just sitting on the bench barely moving at all. I was looking for high impact and modifications not mediocre impact and barely moving! I love these ladies and the show but I’m underwhelmed and very disappointed! ### 2/5 — Not for People that Are Serious about Workouts *2022-10-05, version 7.620.1* I did the week trial and only watched a few workouts. I did not like them. It may work for some people; but to me it seemed unserious. When it’s workout time like a lot of people I’m in “let’s get to business mode” I want an intro to what we’ll be doing, the warmup, the workout, the cool down, and some motivational banter in between. It felt like watching two friends at the gym. It doesn’t feel focused toward the kind of person I am. It can work for some people, just not me. ### 2/5 — Not terrible, but…. *2021-12-31, version 7.205.3* I love Whitney & Jessica and I think they make a good team. I have been doing these workouts back when Ryan was her partner. I am finding it’s too much stretching for my liking for the warmup, I thought some of the lower body workouts, especially the ones done strictly on the floor, were not full body workouts. I felt with Ryan, I got a more challenging workout. I think these workouts are great if you are new to working out, but they won’t challenge you if your looking for something more sadly. ### 2/5 — I don’t really get it *2021-11-03* I tried to check it out to see if it would be helpful to me and if it would be worth paying $20 a month. There were some statements but no ability to look at exercises. They were all locked. I didn’t want to sign up for a free trial because when it ends it is hard to remember to cancel. I was hoping I could sign on and see if it was something that would be helpful but that doesn’t seem possible. I can’t imagine that watching some exercises would be that helpful. There are 100’s of exercises that are free to watch on the internet. I don’t see the difference so won’t be downloading. If there was something personalized to help me that would be different. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-07-25, version 8.801.1* Love it. Great workouts and great app. Love both Whitney & Jessica. ### 5/5 — It’s fun! *2024-12-19, version 8.801.1* Workout apps have never really been my thing but I am enjoying this one. Their commentary makes you feel like you are working out with them instead of just following a workout video. ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-01-11, version 8.200.1* Love it. Great workouts and great app. ### 5/5 — Water Aerobatics *2023-10-02, version 8.200.1* Looking for the workouts in the pool! I have been advised that this is the only exercise I should do due to my health. Are you going to include these soon? Love all of you! Miss Babs so much, I’m sure you do as well. She was such a super lady! Loved her wit and southern ways! A true lady. ### 5/5 — Love it *2023-06-12, version 8.200.1* I love this app! With so many options I can always find a routine to do no matter what kind of restrictions I have. Wish all the stretch videos would have label, other than that. I love it! ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2023-06-05, version 8.200.1* I love how informal this workout app feels- it makes me feel like I’m working out with friends. I love that it’s not scripted and you get to see them struggle and take breaks rather than seeing a perfect person doing exercise like it’s a walk in the park. I’m 8 weeks postpartum and it’s been great to ease back into working out and understanding how to make adaptations. ### 5/5 — Wonderful App *2023-05-01, version 8.101.1* Really great workouts and modifications for all fitness levels and needs!! Great rapport too, feels like you are there with them :) thanks for creating such a cool app! ### 5/5 — Perfect morning workout *2023-04-18, version 8.101.1* Love all the variations. Can you add some moves for menopause belly? ### 5/5 — So good! *2023-01-09, version 7.800.1* I am definitely in between you both, so I love all the different ways to work out a muscle group. I love focusing on one thing a day and the time frame is perfect for my life style. I am turning 50 this year and I am doing this for me!! You two are engaging and your banter keeps me going!! I love this app!! 💗 ### 5/5 — So thankful I tried this!! *2022-11-11, version 7.620.1* I have worked out before but always found it overwhelming trying to think of different exercises to do or what to do which day. This solves all that for me and the workouts are challenging yet not so hard I give up. It’s a soreness that is just right! Thank you Whitney & Jessica for doing these, I hope you continue for a long time.
