Their instructions are done very well. I get pushed hard on each workout and understand how to use the equipment correctly. The library is full of new workouts and live workouts ### 5/5 — Best Investment in Your Health *2023-07-29, version 8.12.1* John Garey TV is the best investment I have made for my health. All of the instructors are top notch. They have an amazing variety of workouts including reformer, chair, mat and spring wall. I especially like their athletic and fitness workouts. Something for everyone. I highly recommend!!! Heather ### 5/5 — Fantastic Pilates! *2023-07-16, version 8.12.1* I love John and the crew of instructors. The workouts are great, challenging but do-able. The visual of the studio space is really nice to look at too and the whole experience feels fresh and good! ### 5/5 — Really the best! *2023-04-08, version 8.9.1* Compared to other fitness apps. This is the most user friendly. I always come back to this app. I simply love all the classes and instructors. A wish for more senior and/or chair workouts. ### 5/5 — Excellent in so many ways *2022-02-03, version 8.4.0* John’s positive and upbeat attitude makes all his classes fun and effective. I am always looking forward to his new classes. He is clear and precise with his instructions and always good natured and encouraging. His spinning classes are the best online classes I have tried. Between his mat, reformer and spinning classes, I feel stronger than I ever have. ### 5/5 — Amazing amazing amazing *2022-02-03, version 8.4.0* As a Pilates teacher I love using all the sessions to help me stay fresh and increase my knowledge and understanding of The Method across all the apparatus. As a Pilates student (aren’t we always students no matter how much we think we know?😄) I love all the classes by all the teachers, I enjoy being able to do a quick session if I’m not in the mood or a full 60 min sweat and wish the classes went longer when I’m in the zone! This is my go to platform to learn, move and keep a smile on my face😄❤️. ### 5/5 — ♥️♥️♥️ JGTV *2022-01-23, version 8.3.0* For months I was viewing JGTV via the website as I thought the app was extra $. Delightfully, it’s included with the subscription. So easy to use and makes JGTV even more accessible on the move. ### 5/5 — Love it *2021-12-11, version 8.3.0* John Garey has been my pal during lockdown and beyond! The first guy in 60 years to keep me motivated and keep training fun. Stating at beginners Pilates and now advanced….. LOVE IT. Thank you John ### 5/5 — Super clear workouts, great app *2021-11-30, version 8.3.0* This app is great to use. You can sort the workouts by type of workout, by instructor, by equipment, length of work out and more. The actual videos are also excellent for all levels. Well done team! ### 5/5 — Wish List *2021-10-22, version 8.2.1* I LOVE John Garey TV!!!! The only reason I wouldn’t give it ten stars if I could is I wish there were more reformer workouts with the tramp rebounder. ### 5/5 — Just started using this … *2021-09-07, version 8.1.0* Wow I love the variety and the sessions and the app is great thank you ### 5/5 — Fantastic App for Enthusiasts & Instructors! *2021-07-17, version 8.1.0* I can’t praise John Garey & the community he has created enough. As a pilates instructor still in the early part of my teaching career, this app and the accompanying pdf downloadable/printable lesson plans (with pics for easy reference) have proven INVALUABLE to me. There are many other apps and programs and pilates resources out there, but I am unaware of any that include pdf lesson plans for every video like John Garey’s. The app itself is easy to use, doesn’t crash, and is amazing. Really, I love it and would recommend it to anyone. ### 5/5 — FINALLY found a reformer app I love! *2021-06-24, version 8.0.0* During COVID I splurged and bought a Reformer. I tried a couple apps (Pilates Anywhere and Pilatesology) and they were just “ok”. Then I started branching out onto YouTube and found this channel. I did a few free classes on YouTube and was hooked. The male teacher in this app is a great teacher and isn’t irritating or quirky. I get a really good workout and learn better form at the same time. He’s the best and I am happy for pay for his app! Thank you! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Lacking search items *2025-12-14, version 13.29.0* Need a filter to find specific props or to use infinity bar. Very time consuming since not available. Please consider adding as a feature when open app. ### 1/5 — App could use some work *2025-10-03, version 13.27.0* So great to have all this content, and I really appreciate all the filters to search for the workout you want. I wish for a few improvements: more concise workout titles- when you’re searching on your phone the little circle that contains the description is so tiny and the title in the right often only can show JGTV….and not what the workout is. I wish that there was a way to indicate which workouts that you’ve done. A way to track this would be great. Also there is no reason for the next workout to start playing as soon as you are done with one. ### 1/5 — Apple TV App *2024-02-10, version 9.16.2* The Apple TV App is garbage. App crashes constantly and won’t play any videos. Did it ever occur to JGTV to test using their own app before pushing out broken updates to all users? ### 1/5 — Awful *2023-09-17, version 8.13.3* Paid for a month. Went to cancel two weeks ahead of next billing cycle and my membership was already void. Bad, Bad, Bad ### 1/5 — Great pilates, lousy app! *2023-07-25, version 8.12.1* This “new and improved” app is buggy and lacks basic features that used to exist on the old version. No history function so you can’t find routines that you’ve done before. Playlists show up on some devices but not on others. As soon as video is done, auto plays the next video before you have a chance to mark as favorite or add to a playlist. On the other hand, the pilates videos themselves are fantastic!! ### 1/5 — Horrible *2023-03-15, version 8.9.1* I’ve lost all my play lists. So many glitches. Their IT department has no clue what’s going on and telling me to do things which I already tried before contacting them! Not impressed at all! ### 2/5 — Love variety in service dont like app *2025-12-24, version 13.29.0* For what I pay, I would like to be able to log in from any device without so much restriction on how I log in. I need to be able to use my Apple TV in gym and my phone in living room. The app is hard to find workouts to do today. ### 5/5 — I might be biased *2026-08-29, version 14.35.0* This is the best app. Hands down! ### 5/5 — Love these workouts *2026-01-19, version 13.30.0* This is my favorite app for Pilates (and other workouts) that I’ve tried. I used to do peloton and prefer this much more ### 5/5 — Love it!!!!! *2025-12-17, version 13.29.0* Really enjoy it ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I am a John Garey Fan *2024-12-01, version 9.20.0* I use John Garey workouts every day. The variety of teachers, modes of Pilates is fantastic. It is no different to being in a gym. I highly recommend to all my friends the app ### 5/5 — Fabulous gym at home *2024-07-08, version 9.18.0* I love the app. I recently moved countries, and John Gary TV has now become my personal trainer. Cannot thank the team enough for the variety of programs ### 5/5 — Excellent *2024-03-29, version 9.17.0* Excellent cues and clear instructions from beginner to advanced. I have progressed through the levels at my own pace. ### 5/5 — The best *2024-03-22, version 9.17.0* I am a doctor of physical therapy and certified STOTT Pilates instructor. This is the BEST workout app. I highly recommend it. ### 5/5 — BEST online Pilates Classes *2024-01-06, version 9.16.0* Pilates is a necessary component of my life. Prior to having started Pilates 2 years ago, my flexibility was diminishing; in fact, at age 63 (then), I didn’t have the flexibility to put my socks on the normal way! After taking reformer studio classes for 2 years, I am probably in the best physical shape of my life. Just 3 weeks ago, I purchased an Allegra II reformer and quit my expensive monthly Pilates studio practice and I was fearful that I would not have the sustained motivation necessary to consistently do Pilates at home without the live class/studio environment. I initially subscribed to a different popular Pilates subscription service, but I was not sufficiently motivated. I panicked just a bit thinking that I made a big mistake purchasing a very expensive reformer and feeling at the time that I would not be realizing a return on my financial investment. That was until I discovered John Garey TV (JGTV). The app is well planned and user friendly. The videos are well organized and varied. I appreciate the many “extras” including optional classes with an added strength training component or focus. I’m totally thrilled to know that with JGTV, I can continue to grow my Pilates practice. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2023-12-10, version 9.15.0* Wonderful coaches and better workouts, love every minute! ### 5/5 — Best fitness app *2023-11-22* I love the variation of workouts on this app. Every piece of fitness equipment for every fitness level. Love it --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
