Love it

### 5/5 — Variety

*2017-03-07, version 2.1.0*

So many workouts to choose from. The auto generated workouts give even more choices

### 2/5 — app crash

*2017-02-23, version 2.1.0*

app crashed on latest iOS. Please fix.

### 5/5 — Lots of workouts

*2017-02-03, version 2.1.0*

I compared many workout apps, this one has the most content. Not only lots of workouts, they also have the largest variety of exercises. Some exercises I have never heard of before even though I have working out 20+ years, and they are fun to follow along.

### 5/5 — Love the new workout generator

*2017-01-21, version 2.1.0*

Love the new workout generator functionality. The app is very intuitive to use too.

### 5/5 — Best Fitness App with Apple TV support

*2017-01-19, version 2.1.0*

One of the best fitness app I use so far. It also let you customize your workout. The best part of it is the custom workout you make will also show on Apple TV. The Apple TV app also give you reps count by using the Siri remote. 👍

3D Touch to quickly browse through the workout is really cool.

Love the new dashboard update and filter and favorite capabilities

### 1/5 — Crashes and cannot access

*2020-05-17, version 2.5*

This is junk!!!!!!
Then the app won’t launch.  I have deleted and reinstalled the app and it works one time.  The most disappointing part is I never hear back from the support team when I send emails.  I have even sent the scrip of the crash and get no reply

### 1/5 — The app (phone + TV) don’t work 😢

*2019-12-04, version 2.5*

TV App (99p) just goes back to the menu when you select “Let’s do this”. The phone app (free) falls over at the second video (which is missing), then the app wouldn’t even open. 
Very disappointed 😢

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2019-05-06, version 2.5*

Apple watch series 4 wouldn't activate so i used it with iPhone.  Worked great for 1 work-out and hasn't worked since. It just crashes every time I try a workout. Very dissappointing.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2018-10-21, version 2.5*

Every time I try to open on my iPhone 7+ it just crashes and closes out. Used to work great.

### 1/5 — Problem

*2018-08-11, version 2.5*

Worked for one week and then wouldn’t open again

### 1/5 — Constant crashes, missing basic exercises/features

*2018-05-03, version 2.5*

I really want to love this app but I just can't get it to work for even a full workout. If I start a workout on my phone the app either crashes or freezes a few exercises in while on my Apple Watch the animations don't load or display, all I get is the loading symbol spinning and spinning and spinning. I can't make it through a single workout without the whole thing crashing which forces me to restart the workout all over again. When the app does work however it is wonderful, the best that's available, I just can't seem to keep it working for any consistent length of time. I've tried deleting and re-installing it but that hasn't worked either. Oh and running a workout with your watch is 100% tethered to your phone so you can’t leave your phone in a locker at the gym. 

Also, this app is also plagued by very infrequent updates so if there’s a bug you can count on it not being fixed anytime soon. It’d be nice to see more updates and more exercises added to the app, especially since we’re paying a subscription. If you guys want to keep my family and I then we need to see some changes, and soon (our subscription expires in 1 month and 3 weeks), otherwise we will switch to another app, one the developer actually cares to fix, update, and expand.

### 1/5 — 150% increase in subscription cost???

*2017-04-27, version 2.1.2*

the app is great but i just received notification that the subscription cost is going from $ 1.99 to $4.99 per month.

i just cancelled my subscription.

### 1/5 — Such a shame

*2017-04-13, version 2.1.2*

250% price increase just received for the subscription...
Cancelled, shame, as it's a nice app...

### 1/5 — Misleading Videos

*2016-12-26, version 2.0.2*

I saw a video that led me to believe the app could count reps. I can't access a single exercise to confirm this without signing up. From the portions of the app I CAN access it appears reps are timed rather than counted.

### 1/5 — Lousy app

*2016-07-14, version 2.0.2*

Keep hanging. Data keyed in kept disappearing and have to rekey. App slow in loading.

### 5/5 — Crashing

*2020-07-27, version 2.5*

App keeps crashing when I open it!!!!

Haven’t been able to use it for a month and still getting charged!! Really feeling ripped off! Recently sent to help request via the app but no reply..not even a automated one!

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2019-03-12, version 2.5*

I mean I already had a lot of muscle but I thought to add to it and this app was the perfect thing for that. 💪💪💪💪

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2017-10-07, version 2.5*

This is a great App with guided exercises that I use almost daily. Definitely worth the subscription fee. The latest update fixed some iOS 11 bugs. I can’t wait for future updates!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2017-05-31, version 2.1.2*

However yesterday my activity and profile #'s are different. App is great so far other than this hiccup.

### 5/5 — Great Trainers

*2017-05-07, version 2.1.2*

He makes me sweat with the variety HIIT gym workouts. Love the variety!!!

### 5/5 — Great Low Impact Workout if needed

*2017-05-07, version 2.1.2*

Great low impact workout, even for HIIT and I love the variety of the workouts. With anything, the effort you put in will benefit what you get out of it.

### 5/5 — Easy to keep up the motivation

*2017-05-07, version 2.1.2*

I enjoy using the personal trainer app as it helps to have variations in the routine, to keep it interesting. Well designed to personalize the program to one's requirement, I do not have to think, change parameters, boom!, a new workout.

### 5/5 — Recommend the HIIT workouts

*2017-05-07, version 2.1.2*

I took charge, downloaded this app, and no regret. I started looking at the standard routine (don't want to pay premium until I know what the cost benefit will be). So far so good. Work out was just right, quick, easy to follow, and not too complicated. Lots of HIIT workouts. The workout generation looks really good, make me want to subscribe now.

### 5/5 — Good Work! Best personal trainer

*2017-05-05, version 2.1.2*

I have the 1 month trial and I've tried all the Premium programs, love the workout auto generation thing. I am really contemplating a year's subscription (Which is very affordable). The music is good, haven't heard anything crazy. The instruction is very thorough and helpful. I'm breaking a sweat and I'm constantly being challenged. The variety is unmatched in any other apps.

### 5/5 — Great personal trainer app

*2017-05-05, version 2.1.2*

Trying to get back in shape and this makes it super easy. When you are a working mom of toddlers like me, it can be very easy to just execuse for not having the time. But with there being options for quick workouts as well as having more intense options it's great for those days when you have a lot of time and those when you don't.
