Love that it includes mobility. Love that there is an assessment before you start. This makes it more tailored to what my ability is. There is a video with written instructions for every movement even the simplest of movements. This is key to making this helpful to people at all levels. ### 5/5 — Great programming! *2022-11-29, version 4.0.4* The programming is fantastic and tailored to your skill level because they do an assessment before you start each program. The one I’m doing now really focuses on positional strength (lots of isometrics and tempos. I’ve been doing the shape foundation program for 9 weeks and I am so much stronger and more mobile than when I started! The app itself is easy to use and not glitchy at all. ### 5/5 — Best programming available! *2022-02-02, version 3.0.7* When it comes to CrossFit and gymnastics, there’s a lot of template programming options floating around out there, but nothing as comprehensive and efficient as this one. Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — The best coaches in fitness *2021-07-27, version 3.0.5* Proper technique keeps injuries down, while helping me get stronger and learn new skills. PMF is the best there is. ### 5/5 — Great instructions and progressions *2021-04-19, version 3.0.2* Easy to follow with well thought out incremental progressions ### 5/5 — Fantastic programs *2021-03-25, version 3.0.2* These programs are built by renowned fitness experts who have been in gymnastics, power/Olympic lifting, CrossFit etc. Their programs are easy to follow and work!! Absolutely recommended! ### 5/5 — Keep coming back to this. *2021-03-17, version 3.0.2* I tend to chase shining objects when it comes to training plans. Yet, I find myself keep coming back to this app. Great progressions. The only thing I e found that really works for strict muscle ups and handstands. ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2021-01-30, version 3.0.2* Currently working on handstands and the 365 core. It’s so challenging! I appreciate there is explanation behind each of the techniques they focus on and they give modifications based on your ability and comfort level. Cannot recommend this enough! ### 5/5 — A systematic programme for anyone *2021-01-02, version 3.0* More than anything by, David’s professionalism gained through his own practice allows this to be used by anyone. Literally everyone can find an entry point to get started. The instruction is crystal clear in language that is quickly understood The demonstrations in the handstand series means that you are likely to be able to use the programme for years. On the proviso of having ‘a’ handstand (I agree, learn this in a face to face environment, find a support person to get you able to be upside down!), this programme will take you as far as you want. Once you can be upside down, David's instructions improves technique at the most fundamental level to allow you to understand your own restrictions/ poor movement.... and how to work them out of your style. It is the focus on the foundation that means a practitioner should jump into this programme as soon as possible- to maximise skill attainment and reduce the amount of time you spend unintentionally working with poor technique. The demonstrators are amazing - all levels demonstrated. The equipment used is available in any household, or if there is specialist kit needed, this is made clear before you commit to a programme. ### 5/5 — Great stomach program *2020-10-29, version 3.0* My kids and I enjoy getting stronger ### 5/5 — Best Online Gymnastics Programming *2020-10-28, version 3.0* I’ve been a fitness professional for decades and don’t normally recommend online programming. However, these guys have figured it out - it is solid, sound and functional. The progressions, periodization and instructional videos have made all this new gymnastics work fun and definitely seeing results. I got my first bar muscle up using their program and the other programs are the perfect supplement to my jiu jitsu and Olympic Lifting. Thanks guys!!! ### 5/5 — Game Changer *2020-08-19, version 2.1.7* The Monkey Method app has been great for me. I have been working on ring muscle up for (literally) years and have been stuck on transition. The mobility and strength components of the program have helped me progress to not only achieve the muscle up but to also help my body feel better in general. Great program and the app is great - very clear and easy to follow ### 5/5 — Incredible *2020-08-19, version 2.1.7* I’m not sure why this program hasn’t become more popular during quarantine. I haven’t found a program that provides this level of virtual coaching. The programs are extensive and have helped me successfully learn new skills, build strength and do so in a way that safety addresses weaknesses in my form. This review is for three monkey method programs- the strict ring muscle up, the core365 program and the handstand follow along routine. The strict ring pull-up program - Coming into the program I was able to perform a bar muscle up with a slight kip but wasn’t able to transfer the skill to the rings. I’d done loads of research on the web but most of the info failed to help me build a plan that enables me to achieve my goals. After an 8 week cycle using the Monkey Method app I was finally able to achieve a strict muscle up on the rings (albeit with a slight leg lift at the top which I’m working towards cleaning up). This program is so well thought out and has significantly increased my overall strength. I would highly encourage anyone interested in learning this skill to spend $20 and give this program a try Core365 - I was hesitant to try this program due to the price, and lack of reviews, but decided to take the risk. I’m very glad that I did. It’s the first program I’ve discovered that enables you to easily integrate core training into your daily life without it becoming repetitive. The fact that each day cycles between either your abs/hip flexors, your obliques, or your posterior chain are part of the reason. The other reason I love this program and have continued using it on day 73 is the range of exercises are so extensive which means you rarely repeat the same exercise during any cycle. Lastly the daily time commitment is typically 7 minutes or less so it’s really easy to incorporate into any lifestyle. Handstand follow along - this program has some great information regarding technique but shouldn’t be compared to the quality of the programs above. If you are starting at ground zero for handstands I would recommend it but if you are already comfortable with this skill I’d hold off ### 5/5 — Great App! *2019-01-29, version 2.1.6* Looking forward to using as a resource for follow up practice from this weekend’s clinic. Awesome videos and clear, detailed notes. ### 5/5 — Easy to use and gets results! *2018-12-18, version 2.1.6* The workouts are so well thought out that I never feel like I overdo it on one muscle, I am that perfect amount of sore everywhere the next day and the best part is I can actually SEE the improvement! ### 5/5 — Incredible development opportunities *2018-10-15, version 2.1.2* The Monkey Method app is full of programs designed by some of the greatest coaches in the world. They break down complex movements into accessible parts, allowing every athlete to progress from where they currently are. Great app! ### 5/5 — The Most amazing App ever!!!!! *2018-05-30, version 2.1.2* I am a coach who specializes in gymnastics and even though I was strong I couldn’t get a strict muscle up. The programming/coaching on this app was so amazing that I got more than just one strict ring muscle up in less than 3 months. I would recommend this app to everyone. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Couldn’t access premium membership *2021-11-23, version 3.0.7* I can’t comment on the quality of the training because I could not access it. I paid for premium access, but the app didn’t allow me to access it. I’d tap “my programs,” then select a program but I’d get nothing but the program description with premium access button at the top. If I tapped the premium access button I’d be taken to a purchase screen which would then tell me I already have premium access. But I could not access the premium content. I tried getting help by tapping the “talk to us” button but it did absolutely nothing. I’m hoping the developers will see this review and give me a refund because I got absolutely nothing for my payment. ### 1/5 — Vídeos don’t work *2021-08-15, version 3.0.6* Used this awhile ago for handstands. Signed up again and it doesn’t work any longer, the videos will not play. Another reviewer noted the same. Save yourself the trouble and stay away. ### 3/5 — good programs, unstable app *2021-06-21, version 3.0.4* My app stopped loading exercise videos. I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling this app a few times. Eventually it stopped working entirely, saying that I need to buy to see programs, however, I already have a continuing subscription. I really hope this problem gets fixed because I really enjoy quality content. ### 4/5 — High quality content *2018-05-09, version 2.0.0* This app has truly high quality content, it has very targeted, and especializad exercises and workouts customized for your current fitness level. ### 5/5 — Love everything about this company *2024-11-21, version 4.2.1* This app and training methodology helped me overcome a 15 YEAR plateau of not being able to do a press to handstand. I followed the program consistently (not even perfectly - if I'm being honest I missed a few days) AND GOT MY FIRST EVER PRESS TO HANDSTAND at my first power monkey camp. Since then, I've returned to doing gymnastics as an adult, learning new skills like a Yurchenko vault and cast to handstand. I'm im even planning to compete in a few months! Love the app, the team, and the methodology. It's been a game changer for my training and mindset, and I'm excited to keep progressing! ### 5/5 — Programming that works *2024-07-26, version 4.2.0* I joined power monkey fitness programming for the muscle up learning. To my pleasant surprise the App has so many other gymnastics skill programs. I started the get your first kipping muscle up and about six weeks into training, I achieved my first kipping bar muscle up. I am female, over fifty, and have no gymnastics background. In fact I was never an athlete during my entire life. However I always had a passion to learn gymnastics but did not know how. I strongly recommend this training app. It gives you structure, it is not complicated to follow and it is tailored to your level. I’m so happy and can’t wait to learn all the other gymnastic skills. I will be working on ring muscle up next. ### 5/5 — Great app! Easy to use. *2024-05-03, version 4.1.2* I did the HSPU program and I loved how easy the app was to use. It was 8 weeks with 2x/week about 30-40 mins which can be easily done before of after a Crossfit class. A great supplement to your current programming. The programming in the app is very intelligent with all the accessory work. My shoulders feel bulletproof after completing the program! ### 5/5 — Great training app *2024-02-21, version 4.1.2* Been using the app to complement CrossFit training to work on gymnastics skills, and I have really enjoyed working through the progressions so far. Already seeing improvements after about six weeks on the Monkey Method shape and core365 courses. Love how there is an assessment at the beginning of each program. Tons of content in the app, I can see myself using this for a long time. ### 5/5 — World class coaches and technique *2024-02-06, version 4.0.8* There is truly no more expert coaching on earth than the PowerMonkey team. This crew cares so much about proper technique and athlete safety - I’ve got my handstand push-up and muscle up thru PowerMonkey! ### 5/5 — Best in the business and it’s not even close *2022-12-26, version 4.0.4* With the amount of expertise and experience the people at Power Monkey have, it’s no surprise this app and what it offers is the BEST of the BEST. Everything you need all in one place with programming that fits the needs of every athlete and meets them exactly where they’re at. ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great programs *2022-12-26, version 4.0.4* Love the programs- definitely love the emphasis on form and technique. Will continue to use this app regularly. ### 5/5 — Great app and content! *2022-12-24, version 4.0.4* Love using this app as a part of my daily exercise routine! Content is great and tailored to my needs. ### 5/5 — Excellent core program *2022-12-17, version 4.0.4* I am a 70 year old woman. I found that the core work was explained step by step so that I could do the exercises at my own speed, without injury. Great instructors! ### 5/5 — OBSESSED! 💪 *2022-12-10, version 4.0.4* I have been using the App for years, and am OBSESSED. I have gotten stronger, more flexible, and confident in all of my gymnastics movements. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
