100 stars. I love this app
I can’t recommend this enough. I discovered Meg and Plus +1 after my first baby and I used for postpartum, then again for prenatal and postpartum of my second kid (all included in my first purchase!) I recovered so much faster after my second pregnancy and I know a lot of it was having an active prenatal time and the right guidance for recovery. I would gift this to any pregnant friend that would use it. The app creator is super in touch with this community and continues to improve the UI and functionality based on feedback. Highly recommend.

Thank you so much for your kind words and for being part of the Plus+1 community through multiple pregnancies and postpartum journeys! We're thrilled to hear the program helped support your recovery and training, and it means so much to know you'd recommend it to other moms. Thank you for trusting us during such an important season of life and for taking the time to share your experience. 💜
Good but buggy
Great workouts, but app is a bit buggy, would love if it gets the same refresh as SBTD - ability to view the full workout vertically and minimize different sections. This makes it easier to view the upcoming workouts without the slow < and > buttons and waiting for the page to load.
The checkmarks are also buggy, I’m not able to uncheck a rep if the reps/weights are already filled out.

Best Pregnancy Program all around!
I have used this app for my 2 pregnancies and now my 3rd! The workouts and the resources are truly intentional and informative which helped me feel confident working out at the gym whichever stage I was in.
I highly recommend this program to all of my friends and have been following Megan for almost 10 years now. She is someone who is knowledgeable and speaks truth by doing the research and trying out the program herself.

We love to hear it and congratulations on your second pregnancy! We are glad you have the app this time around!
One of my favorite workout apps
So well organized! Helped me dial down the more intense workouts I did prior to pregnancy, and gave me alternative options for when my weight and energy changed with trimesters. It helped motivate me to continue light exercise throughout the pregnancy.
Not Able to Sign up on App
Unfortunately I can’t review the content of the app bc I can’t even sign up. The arrow that would allow me to submit my email and new password does not activate. I’ve tried several times this week and the issue persists. For that alone, the app seems too buggy to function.
Workouts>App
Workouts are decent/good. Been doing the and using the app 3-4x/week for 2-3 months now.
Annoyingly the app will close/refeesh frequently mid workout and I have to re-enter all my weights.
Overall mid-UI but not terrible. Some nice features like the timer included/recommended on timed exercises.

Great program but can be buggy
I’m about 2 months into using this app and am extremely satisfied! I have my CPT and know a lot about training but this is my first pregnancy so I really wanted to make sure I was following a program rooted in evidence-based science. I’m very impressed with the plethora of content. Love the videos and all the substitution options. The only qualm I have is that the app can be kinda buggy! For example, it skipped ahead to a week that I wasn’t supposed to be on and I wasn’t able to back track.

Completely breaks without internet
I really wish that this apps critical features could be used locally without needing a constant connection to the internet. My connection is actually great right now and I can’t do my workout at all because it can’t connect to the api for whatever reason. It just shows a screen saying my internet is not connected, which is untrue. There are a lot of other user experience issues that I was willing to overlook but this is by far the worst because I can no longer use any of the features of this app that I paid for.

Almost perfect
Would like to see different work out schedules: 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x. Kind of a hassle to start and stop different days to track workouts
Why Plus 1 is the gold standard for prenatal fitness!
I started following Plus 1 three years ago with my first pregnancy and I’ve continued to use it for my 2nd and plan to use it for my next. What sets this program apart is that it’s evidence based and created by a true expert in the field. Having followed the program herself during her pregnancy, Megan provides excellent resources & explanations for each exercise. I always felt confident that these exercises were not only research based but also safe. I felt confident with each exercise through my pregnancy and postpartum experience.

Good workouts, glitchy app
I really want to keep using the program, but the app has been glitchy. I will randomly get an “uh oh” mid workout and then need to re-insert all the data again. Another time it erased that I completed days 1-3. I wish it had more flexibility to move workouts around. I completed my 4 workouts, but I am unable to view workouts after those dates. I guess it unlocks on Monday? But based off my life schedule, I would prefer to go the gym on a Sunday…. Would love a major update !

Not great!
I’ve tried the trial for this app which didn’t stand up to my expectations. Now the app doesn’t let me cancel my trial and subscription. It throws an error like I dont have Internet connection. I’ve tried on wifi and my cellular network.
Even after updating the app, the subscription feature seems broken.

Unreliable app
Workouts and programming are great but the app is unreliable. It is frequently unavailable or down, which when you are postpartum and have very little opportunity to workout is really frustrating. When you reach out to report issues, the response is delayed and unapologetic. It’s just business as usual for them. I’d expect a higher quality of service and functionality from a paid program/app.
The free workouts on YouTube are more reliable. Just stick with those.

Awesome program
I’m currently 9 weeks PP and I have been following this program since the start of my pregnancy and it has been so great! Not only do I feel strong physically but it has been helping me feel strong mentally as well. I had terrible PPD after my previous pregnancy and following this program has helped my mood tremendously. I highly recommend it to anyone!

Love App but would love a “Pregnancy Loss”section
The app itself has been great for me. I followed along with a good bit of the workouts until the pregnancy exhaustion and nausea got really bad. We lost our pregnancy at 13 weeks and while I’m not immediately trying to get back in the gym, it’s always been a good coping mechanism for me. Moving to the “postpartum” section feelings wrong because I’m not. Having a section that’s like “Pregnancy loss” that doesn’t really focus on a baby but just slow movement until you are ready to either change to SBTD or the trying to conceive section would be helpful as miscarriage isn’t that uncommon. It would be nice to hold 4-6 weeks of space for that. For right now I’m canceling my subscription and doing just that until I’m ready. The app is great though. The exercises are fantastic and everything is well explained.

Too expensive for what it is
$20/month for 4 gym workouts and 4 at home workouts is insane. I thought maybe if I did all of the workouts and put in my numbers that it would give more workout options. Nope. I’m really disappointed that this was all there was to this app.
Close to Being a Great App - Could Use More Tech Troubleshooting and Program Refinement
I followed the app program for about eight weeks. Some things I liked:
- good warm ups, about ten minutes with an emphasis on the connection breath
- good content on the resources page
- I liked the two lower body days and two upper body day focus
- the workout content was there in terms of how to do the exercise and the description of it and the exercises were conducive to things needed in pregnancy.
- modifications for body weight and for a growing belly
Some things that could be improved:
- I felt like the week to week changes were random. There was no explanation on how things would change for one week or the next, such as a mesocycle format with a rest week.
- Some things were glitchy in the app.
- couldn’t move days around. It would have been switch to switch Day 3 and make that my Day 2, etc.
- wish you could switch just one day to body weight rather than the whole week for days when you don’t have access to a gym.
Overall, I’m at a point where I have some other issues, and I need to tailor my workouts differently to fit some of my existing injuries. I still prefer three full body workouts 3 days a week instead. I might consider renewing my membership again as there’s definitely some value there, but for now it’s not a good fit for me.

Nice programming but really glitchy
I really like the app for the programming! Nice structure and alternatives. However, half the time, the app is glitchy and won’t open. There’s a message saying « slow or no internet connection »… but my internet connection is good and all my other apps are working. So I’m doing maybe half the trainings on the app because of this. Disapointing.

Constant bug issues
Would be a great app if it worked, constant bug issues. I never know when the app will actually open and let me look at the work outs. Not reliable at all.
Great app!
Amazing app but honestly even better customer service! Helped me solve a problem so fast and they were so kind! :)
