Great app but neglected
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.

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

Be careful
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.
Made me a gym girly
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.
Lovely workouts, app needs updates
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!

Made me fall in love with the gym
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.

Uncomplicated and effective
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.
OG user back again, Nobs is the best
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 ☺️

Love this app, so easy to use and the workouts are great!
Brilliant life affirming and positive fitness app
I love the Nobs app. I was an absolute complete beginner at the gym and Nobs has made it possible to become confident in the gym and improve my fitness, strength and well-being. I really appreciate the lack of before/after and diet culture content. It’s like a cheerleader in your phone. Highly recommended.

LOVE THIS APP
I just want to say how much I LOVE this app! It is the longest I’ve stuck to anything new, ever. I’m finally getting into a routine and getting rid of my silly disordered eating habits. I have just completed the junior guide and feel so much stronger and confident in myself, I’m so happy and grateful to Nobs. I’m literally recommending this app to anyone that will listen, it’s so easy to use and has helped conquer the gym nerves. Thank you so much!!

Perfect for Beginners
Love the variety for every equipment and fitness level. A real gem for all new or non-competitive lifters!
wish i could give this 100 stars
I absolute ADORE the nobs app. I finished the 12-week senior home guide a couple weeks ago and started it over immediately. I love that the app doesn’t have a focus on calories or working yourself to exhaustion or how heavy a weight you’re lifting. It’s the perfect neutral movement app. I’m recovering from anorexia and this is the only movement I have opted to do in my recovery aside from walking simply because it’s so empowering and body neutral. I never finish a workout feeling badly about myself. There’s no comparison, no one yelling at you to push harder, no meal plan you’re supposed to follow as part of the program. Lucy is a rockstar for creating such an inclusive, helpful, empowering program! If I could give this more than 5 stars, I would.

Great workouts and confidence builder!
This app gave me the confidence to go to the weight areas in the gym! I love that the focus is not weight loss but confidence.
The only negative is that I would love to have more modifications for certain movements.

Buggy app
Doesn’t seem to be able to tell whether or not I have done an exercise. Sometimes I skip one if I’m short on time and it still says 100% complete. Sometimes it will bug out and I have to go back and re-record my sets because they haven’t registered.
The best!!
I’ve been using Lucy’s guides since before the app came out (and the app ever since) and it’s a staple in my routine. I love how easy it is to use, that you can switch exercises out for similar ones, the detailed instructions and videos, etc etc etc. The freedom from calorie counting and body altering language on a workout app is so refreshing. It’s helped me heal my relationship with exercise and made workouts super fun!

My favorite fitness app
This is hands down my favorite fitness app. I have been a fan for several years and Iove the various workouts and how detailed the instructions are with videos and written steps. The recipes are also a nice touch, but I don’t use them that often since I mainly focus on fitness. I would love to see even more additions to the levels, since I am at senior level 3 and I’ve repeated it a few times now. There are also some bugs that keep popping up and make the app crash, but their support team is very responsive and helps fix these issues. I highly recommend this app to anyone at any level looking for at home or gym workouts.
