## What is Nobs?

No diets, no transformation pictures and no counting calories ~ meet Nobs App, by online personal trainer Lucy Mountain.

Lucy was bored of humans being made to feel like they need to follow restrictive meal plans and unsustainable workout plans in order to be doing ‘fitness’.
So she called bs on it ~ and took it basics. Nobs App was born. Join the family.

### 3/5 — Great app but neglected

*2026-05-15, version 1.2.28*

I genuinely love this app - despite my 3* review, if you are a beginner or trying to build confidence, this app is absolutely for you. It definitely feels like the apps been neglected more recently - the last update was a year ago, there are tweaks that would really bolster the overall experience, and the nutrition side of it feels almost pointless now. For example, on week 7 of the senior gym guide your reps suddenly jump from 6/8/10 to 20 with no explanation, you can’t switch easily between reps versus time, the timers are hit and miss, there’s no connection to apple health, no insights into progressive load etc. I have loved this app but I think it’s time to move on, but will keep an eye out to see if it gets some love soon.

### 5/5 — Love!!

*2026-01-27, version 1.2.28*

This app makes me feel good and keeps me in shape. I love the variety and the progressive training program.

### 5/5 — Underrated!

*2026-01-02, version 1.2.28*

This is the app that finally got me into the gym/fitness and I always come back to it. I appreciate the structured workouts, clear instructions and videos showing how to do the exercise. I especially like being able to swap out an exercise and knowing which muscles I’m supposed to be feeling an exercise in!

### 3/5 — Be careful

*2025-11-23, version 1.2.28*

I wanted to do the free trial for 7 days before committing but they charged me after a day they have told me to go through apple and refuse to help themselves. Apple did refund.

### 5/5 — Made me a gym girly

*2025-09-26, version 1.2.28*

Been using nobs on/off for nearly three years, I always come back to it, I like the work out plans, the times and it just feels like I’ve got a mate as a personal trainer.

### 3/5 — Lovely workouts, app needs updates

*2025-06-09, version 1.2.28*

I followed Lucy a few years back and loved her content. When I was looking for a new workout program, I remembered her app. I tried it out last week and I love the workouts BUT, sadly, the app hasn’t received an update in over 11 months. As such, it is buggy and not working right. For example, I’m unable to input the weight for any exercise I do. And I’m not able to change it to lbs either. Based on this, I am not going to be able to continue my membership. A great app, but it needs some love and consistent updates so it can work properly again! I will continue to check back in periodically to see if this happens because I really do want to support Lucy’s program and do these great workouts!

### 4/5 — Made me fall in love with the gym

*2025-05-29, version 1.2.28*

Overall, I love the app. It makes lifting and using gym equipment very accessible to newbies. Even though I'm not a newbie anymore, i keep using this app because I like the presentation and the workout plans. I especially LOVE the ability to swap out exercises! 
I do find it to be buggy sometimes, though. I've sometimes noticed that the data for a particular exercise (the history, reps, description, body parts worked etc) seems like it's mapped to a completely different exercise. I haven't encountered that particular bug too often, but it's really frustrating when it does happen.

Also, I really want to be able to set my preferred weight unit. The app defaults to kg and it's quite annoying to manually switch to lbs for every exercise.

### 5/5 — Uncomplicated and effective

*2025-05-14, version 1.2.28*

I always come back to this app time and time again, always straightforward and approachable when there’s been a gap in training, while still being challenging enough to see results.

### 5/5 — OG user back again, Nobs is the best

*2025-04-24, version 1.2.28*

I originally started nobs with the home workout guide from Lucy back during lockdown 2020. I was part of the first bunch who downloaded the nobs app when it launched and loved it. I’m now back on it years later as it’s the most sensible and easy to follow workout app out there. I wanted to do 2 workouts a week but every other app would only allow me to do 3-5 (I don’t have time for that many!). Lucy’s instructions are clear and the guides got no circuit or superset  (gym etiquette is real here!) means I can get in and get out of the gym with no fuss. I’m beyond grateful to have found Lucy on socials years ago, she’s been giving my confidence in the gym ever since then ☺️

### 5/5 — loveee this app!!

*2024-12-08, version 1.2.28*

Such great plans with options for all levels and to fit all schedules!! Keeps me motivated and regular at the gym without making me feel guilty 🫶🏼🫶🏼 have converted all my friends xx

Our brand new program has just dropped.

From beginner to Barbell Hip Thrust in just 6 weeks— welcome to Nobs Hip Thrust School. And no, it’s not a ‘booty guide’.

This brand new program includes three comprehensive, full-body gym workouts per week– with a special emphasis on your glutes. (In the least creepy way possible.)

Within your plan, Lucy will coach you through five different hip thrust variations, each one more advanced than the last, building strength and confidence as you progress.

You’ll also unlock three support videos every week including weekly program overviews, coaching tips, and an exclusive mini podcast where Lucy yaps about all things 'hip thrust' (!)

Who is it for?

Well, if one or more of these sound relatable— great news! We made this for you!

— You want to learn how to do Hip Thrusts but have no idea where to even begin.
— You feel intimidated by the exercise, the equipment needed and how to set it up.
— You know strong glutes are really important but find ‘booty workouts’ super cringe.
— You find the amount of tips, tricks and conflicting information on TikTok really overwhelming.

What's included?

— 6 week full-body gym guide
— 3 exclusive support videos per week
— 3 workouts per week
— 45 mins per workout
— Full access to the app + all features
Hip Thrust School is a follow-along, live program and we'll be starting on Monday 15th July.

This is also when we will be closing enrolment so make sure you join before then to secure your spot (and make the most of our sale!)

See you inside!

- Just another little update to help your workouts run even smoother!
