### 5/5 — So Fantastic you (almost) forget the burn

*2020-10-31*

I read somebody’s comment in another review about how someone had stated that some of the exercise videos specifically the live classes looked like they’d been shot on “an old web cam from 1999.” As if they were poor quality so you should avoid this in favor of some slick, higher quality exercise platform with more “production value” This is the first time I’ve made this abbreviation but I was ROFL (rolling on the floor laughing) Let me just tell you in no uncertain terms-Physique 57 is SO stand alone perfect in every way they could shoot their classes on an 8 mm projector from the 1960s and they would still blow everyone else out of the water! They DO have many higher production videos anyway but they are just
 like a cherry on top.

 Their  instructors are phenomenal, positive, and clearly brilliant-you can FEEL they care about your success and health. The way the classes are you practically can do them eyes closed like a really top notch yoga class because it’s like this incredibly fun flow experience that just makes perfect sense to me as I’m doing them-It’s actually really hard to describe it tbh. It is like exercise without exercise! Like feeling the burn and sweating while still smiling. The routines are addictive and I’ve been going back again and again to do them for over 5 years now always fresh but yet the core moves you kind of just kind of understand from practice. You lose weight and get toned not just through physical action but the spiritual benefits as well. I could go on and write a short book about about how wonderful it is lol! I absolutely love Physique 57 and especially during quarantine I have my handy exercise in my home on smart TV or i pad anytime. I can not recommend it enough. Brilliant thank you.

### 5/5 — Love the Workouts-App needs work

*2020-10-19*

Something needs to be done to allow landscape viewing.  The Home Screen was never landscape but the workouts used to have the option of turning the view to landscape so you could see the entire screen.  Since the last update, even that option has disappeared and half of the screen is cut off.

### 5/5 — Great updates

*2020-01-31*

Love the new app. So easy to get my favorite barre workout anywhere now!

### 5/5 — Love the new look

*2020-01-31*

This version is much easier to navigate and find what I’m looking for.

### 5/5 — New App - new features

*2020-01-16, version 5.0.1*

I’m thrilled to see the filtering options on the new app. I’ve been a user for years. This app version makes workouts much easier to find as the library expands.  Overall the app is easy to navigate and these are my favorite barre workouts - barre none!

### 5/5 — My Fave Studio Online!

*2020-01-13*

I’ve tried so many workout programs and classes and nothing gets me the results I want like this. I feel leaner and tighter after a few weeks of classes so I’m thrilled to see they’re online now.

### 5/5 — Fabulous workouts, awful app

*2019-12-05, version 4.4.0*

Besides no proper filters for duration, level, teachers and more, the app freezes and must be deleted and reinstalled often. It’s still worthwhile putting up with the horrible app for the wonderful content, exquisite instructors.  Looking forward to a time when the app reflects the high quality of the content.

### 3/5 — Love P57 but the app - not so much

*2019-11-24, version 4.4.0*

I LOVE P57. Do not let this review deter you from streaming their workouts as they are the BEST. However, I stream from the website/browser instead of the app for the following reasons: 1. Home page will not go into landscape mode on the iPad.  It will when you actually stream, but I don’t want to have to turn my head sideways to figure out what video I am going to choose. 2. The app does not have as many abilities to filter as the website does (time, trainer, level etc.).  If you could fix these two things, it would be great !

### 3/5 — Needs organization

*2019-07-13, version 4.2.12*

It needs to be organized into the different programs.

### 3/5 — Wish it was organized better

*2019-07-01, version 4.2.12*

I love my P57 workouts and was excited for the new release of the on demand app, but after downloading it I was disappointed in the organization of the workouts.for example: I was looking to start the Accelerate to Great program and even though all the videos are under one collection, they are not in order of the actual workout program. I wish the feature to “start a new program” was available on the app.

### 1/5 — Reconsider before you purchase

*2024-05-03*

Be warned, they have no return policy. I recently found out I’m pregnant and they have a whopping 3 prenatal workouts on their app. They refused to give me a refund for my year-long subscription but did agree to “freeze” the amount paid until I want to use it again.

Their customer service is awful. This has been the 2nd time I reached out- the first time was due to the app freezing and glitching constantly. The rep had me delete the app and when I went to redownload it, it was missing entirely from the Apple Store. It returned a few days later but they were not very apologetic about the situation.

Each time I’ve spoken to their team members I have constantly been brushed off, dismissed, and disregarded as a customer. They have not apologized for any difficulty I’ve experienced. Furthermore, when I was speaking to the rep about needing a pregnancy app they referred to me as “the pregnant” refusing to even acknowledge me as a woman. When I called this out, they never responded to my email and it’s been days.

I am extremely frustrated with this experience- I used the Sweat app for 2 years and never had a problem with them. If you’re looking for a workout app, please look elsewhere.

### 1/5 — Unable to log on

*2021-12-09*

Current subscriber, unable to log on.

### 1/5 — Frustrating to use

*2020-11-04*

This app is not optimized to be used on an iPad or iPhone. Half the screen gets cut off whether in portrait or landscape mode. So searching becomes very difficult. It’s actual easier to log in on my browser than to use the app. (Once I choose a workout to stream, it works fine, but its not worth the trouble since I can’t access my options easily)

### 1/5 — Videos are laggy and low quality

*2020-03-19*

The subscription price is ridiculous for the quality of the content you get. Most of the videos are "live" and have the worst laggy quality. It's like a web cam from 1999. I didn't know such low quality equipment still existed. 
There are a few videos in a nice studio, but not many. 
I also don't understand the 10-15 minute "workouts." You're not getting a workout if you spend 10 minutes on it. You might burn 10 calories. 
They tout that their library is large, but it really isn't because the majority of it is garbage and/or short. 
Try Daily Burn instead. Half the price, huge library, tons of barre videos, good instructors, NOT laggy, high quality/HD. Also they give you a 30-day trial.

### 1/5 — Great in theory, but...

*2019-11-22, version 4.4.0*

The app crashes too frequently. It takes forever to load. There are a lot of glitches to be fixed.

### 1/5 — Calendars will not open in app

*2019-07-28, version 4.2.12*

I’ve been an online member for over a year and I’m disappointed in the new app. I usually do the programs and I liked the convenience of the calendar to keep me on track. Although the calendar has been added, it unfortunately doesn’t open in the app. Overall the app seems disorganized and it’s a little glitchy.

### 2/5 — iPad app needs help

*2022-12-01*

Landscape mode on an iPad constantly switches back to vertical and you have to flip it around and back for it to work again. It’s an obnoxious problem because you can’t see the video well enough in vertical/portrait mode but you have to stop your workout numerous times if you want to view it in landscape. 

Also, the iPad version doesn’t show you which videos you’ve already watched so if you’re doing a series, you have to log in to the web version to figure out what video is next. 

Awesome workouts, but the app needs a lot of help.

### 2/5 — What happened to favorites?

*2020-10-27*

Love P57 and the programs, but this most recent update comes with lots o’ issues. Most of my favorites have been removed, and when I try to re-“star” them, they still aren’t saved. Plus, the fast-forward, reverse, and play/pause commands don’t work when casting the videos to another device.

### 2/5 — Love the idea but...

*2020-09-18, version 5.0.1*

The app is poorly executed but it has saved my butt a few times especially when traveling. It drives me crazy that when I click on the links to classes from one of the calendars that I had to then log into the desktop site. Which I wasn’t going to do. Instead I would look on the calendar and then have to search for the class all over again. Cumbersome...

### 2/5 — Only works in portrait instead of landscape mode

*2019-11-03, version 4.4.0*

It’s not very user friendly to have an app downloaded that can’t work with how the user wants to hold their device.  Even in portrait mode, the images run off the screen.  Still needs a lot of work, unfortunately.

### 5/5 — Great Workouts!

*2025-11-02*

I’ve been looking for something that is low impact because I have fibromyalgia. I did the 7 day free trial and have loved every workout.

### 5/5 — FANTASTIC

*2025-10-22*

This app has EVERYTHING. From access to their live classes taught in NYC to high quality, high resolution at home workout videos taught by a variety of professional trainers, I never have to worry about planning my workouts. I can use one of their preplanned workout courses or choose my own videos and design my own plan. They offer a variety of workout styles including barre, strength, Pilates, hiit, cardio, sculpt, and more. The subscription includes EVERYTHING. It’s a lifetime supply of workouts designed by professional at your finger tips on a daily basis. It’s so, SO worth it!! I’ve used the app and the website daily for months now and I’m seeing real, lasting results.

### 5/5 — Amazing for any time of the day!

*2025-10-16*

The workouts keep me motivated with different challenges and the workouts are effective especially to be able to do them anytime and anywhere!
Great mix of Strength, Cardio, and Core classes for however I’m feeling that day.

### 5/5 — Yay!

*2025-07-13*

I subscribed at beginning of covid and loved it but I remember having a lot of streaming issues.  Well I rejoined about a month ago and the app is excellent on iphone and Roku- no issues at all.  The instructors are legit top tier professionals.  So happy to be back at the barre!

### 5/5 — Love!

*2024-12-28*

I have been doing Physique 57 for 10+ years and have loved using this app. I love that I can take my workouts with me anywhere to feel strong and confident. The app is user friendly and makes working out that much easier. My favorite feature: I can download workouts before going on a trip! Thank you Physique 57!

### 5/5 — Love Physique 57- Love this new app

*2022-09-15*

I love Physique 57, I’ve been doing it off and on for years! 

I just got the P57 OD and love it, however what are the chances of other steaming platforms to be used I. The future????

 I.e… like ROKU or LG streaming platform?  That sure would make things a lot easier for those that are not all in on the apple product!

### 5/5 — Love this

*2021-11-24, version 8.3.0*

Very good

### 5/5 — Worth it.

### 5/5 — Love love love!

*2021-01-10*

Absolutely love this app!! It is so convenient! I can pick any workout based on time or body part! I do it at work during the week over my lunch hour!!

### 5/5 — Needs optimization for iPad.

*2020-11-01*

Would love it to work on landscape mode without having to play with it for five minutes.  Otherwise good app. Needs more music though!
