I’m Back!
Over a year ago I was doing the Pump. A combination of issues (read excuses) caused me to stop (let’s say paused). About 2 months ago I came back. Then I came down with a troublesome cough. I’m 76 years old with shoulder issues, neuropathy in one foot, the beginnings of arthritis, and bunch of other annoying stuff (but no big major systemic problems that I know of). So a nagging cough and cold that I couldn’t kick with my usual natural remedies wad particularly disturbing.
Two doctors later (and more meds than I care to take) I am finally coming out of it.
Today I did exercises #11 of the routine I started long ago.
I was surprised that when I came back I was right in the same place I paused. In one way I was gratified that APC let me do that considering that money back deal (it truly was not my incentive), but I understand you don’t do this for the money (one of the only ones). In another way I questioned how you can say the app is tailored to me when you had no idea about what I did or didn’t do for my body in the year since I paused. I was required to do the amount of sets and reps just as if I was maintaining the pace all along. How can that be?
After this morning I realized two things:
1 - Your email posts (thank you for being relentless) have told me it is better to do something, anything, than doing nothing! So I did #11 in the stinky form and with fewer than the suggested reps. But I did it! AND
2 - When you did that you were saying between the lines - YOU CAN DO IT!! And I did!!
I’M BACK!!!!!!
See you next time!!

Small steps
I find I can make progress following the apps workouts for me. If I can’t do the recommended sets or weight the next time around it reminds me with targets I can achieve. If I were on my own I would push too hard not taking rest days. Then I would injure myself.
Easy to use
This is an awesome workout app. It makes it so easy to stay on track with your workouts, and you always know what exercises to do. I really like how easy it is to keep track of your progress.
Excellente App
Programmes d’entraînement très bien conçus et adaptés. Beaucoup de conseils par écrit et en vidéo pour chaque exercice. De nombreuses mises à jour. L’équipe de coachs avec Arnold est top. Avec quelques séquences sympas qui montrent la bonne entente entre eux. Sérieux sans prendre au sérieux. Que du plaisir à suivre leurs conseils et à avancer pas à pas, à mon rythme. Appli très smart conçue par une équipe smart. 💪🏻🥇

Skip the excuses and start training
We live in a world where we have so much comforts, and this app makes life so much easier for you. Whatever your goals are, simply follow the instructions and start training 💪🏼
Best Fitness app so far
Using it for 3 years now and the programs are excellent, the articles as well. Look no further
Arnold’s positivity makes the difference
This app is the perfect balance between pushing you to your best while avoiding perfectionism or guilt. It is nice, well thought and the opportunity to join a really gentle community!
1 Month in!!
I have not lifted this frequently, this much and this consistently in 25 year. This APP does all the thinking which is like having a personal trainer in the palm of your hand!! That leaves me to think only about the mind/muscle connection 🏋🏻🏋🏻🏋🏻
Excellent
Continuing to evolve, this app keeps my focus in the direction it needs to. No complaints here.
Beste Fitness-App die ich genutzt habe!
Ich bin als „foundig member“ von Anfang an mit dabei und trainiere seit dem mit dem Program. Alle Adpekte werden abgedeckt, mir hilft am meisten das Foundation Programm immer zu wiederholen und mit dem „last set mindset“ zu trainieren! Thumbs Up!!
Do I enjoy the app? It’s more than that.
I was just asked if I enjoyed the app. Enjoy isn’t the right word. Not strong enough. It has *changed my life*. I’m 25kg lighter, with more muscle (lots more, according to my wife), more energy, more stamina, better blood pressure, and my back doesn’t hurt any more. I had to buy all new clothes because most of my old ones are too big now (sheds tiniest tear imaginable).
Realistically, the app, the community, the mindset, and the training programs have probably added years to my lifespan.
So yeah, I guess I enjoy the app. ❤️

Amazing app
The Pump Club is awesome. It takes a bit to get used to coming from the other apps, but it’s a full fitness app that’s given me a lot more visible progress than what I used to get trying things on my own. It’s super easy to follow and takes a lot of the guess work out of things. The community aspect is also amazing, the entire time Arnie is helping to rework your thoughts to see more positives in things and really helping you get the dedication for it. There’s too many good things to write here, I just love it.

Not what you might expect
I’m over 60 and haven't worked out in a gym for about 7 years; even when I did, I did it as part of fitness classes. I’ve accepted for years that strength training is key to health and aging gracefully, but I was always torn about actually going to the gym. What’s great about the Pump Club is that you are part of a community and everyone is accepted. There’s none of that macho attitude; it’s only about challenging yourself and improving.
Some people might not like a few things about the program: you have to start with the Foundation program and complete it before you can move on to the others. There is a sound reason for this. Also, the app will not set a target weight for your workouts — you have to choose it. But everyone is different, so who is better suited to choose the weight than you?
What's different about the Pump Club is that 1) there's no BS; 2) your work lifting is tied to success in the other parts of your life; 3) the staff are real people working to make this the best fitness app for you.

Best Fitness app of all time!
I’ve been using this app for over three years, and I absolutely love it. The workout programs, the coaches, the overall experience, everything is amazing. It has truly become an essential part of my fitness journey!
just works
This is a great experience. I've been using it for just over a year now, and the results are very satisfying. The developers are open for feedback and actually get back to you, which is unique. You can tell they care about the project idea and customers. Way to go!
More Than a Fitness App
The Pump Club has honestly become so much more than a fitness app for me. I have always wanted to build a consistent routine, but injuries and a demanding work schedule have made that difficult. What Arnold and his team have created gave me a path to follow and reminded me that you do not have to be perfect or start from some ideal place. You just have to start. When I have stayed consistent, I have seen a major difference in my strength, mobility, and confidence, and there is something incredibly rewarding about realizing you are stronger than you were the week before.
What makes the Pump Club so special is that it feels personal. You have Arnold sharing the training and principles that helped shape his own life, an incredible team guiding you, experienced bodybuilders helping with form checks, and a community of people encouraging each other to keep going. There are meetups, training sessions, nutrition groups, Q and A sessions, and so many ways to connect and learn.
For me, the biggest lesson has been that Arnold can give you the path, but you have to keep walking it. You decide how far you want to go. Every workout is another small step toward your own vision. I truly believe this is the best fitness app in the world because you are learning from the legend. But more importantly, you are being reminded that you are capable of becoming stronger than you ever thought possible if you stay consistent.

Application extraordinaire
Cette application est géniale. Elle s’adapte à votre niveau et permet de s’entrainer sans culpabilité. S’entrainer avec cette application est une expérience extrêmement positive. Je la recommande pour les gens de tous les niveaux.
I never thought it would be so good.
It’s amazing. The programs, the advice, the goal setting, mindset development. And on top of that it is really cheap. Well done guys. Thanks Arnold.
Best app I've ever used
By far the best fitness app on the market. No brainer. Thank you so much Pump Club for the progress knowledge and great tool to package it up. If all I got from this app was progressive overload practically applied, would have been worth it.
5 Stars, only because 5 is the max.

Inclusive and Strategic Fitness
This app is for everyBODY, from flabby beginners to jacked pros, male, female and in between, for rich or not-so-rich. And you will see for yourself, all types, in the frequent, optional zoom calls if you wish to participate to help you along your way .
In the app, there are no advertisements to endure, and no extra features you need to buy. You get the whole enchilada of a lifetime of fitness in this app. Does it take time to understand everything (I.e. what is a split, or a deadlift, what is a protein unit)? Yes, if especially if you are a beginner. But there are lots short videos and articles to help and soon you will understand the terminology and the philosophy. There are optional discussion groups to join (that’s where you can focus more on your demographic, besides getting a tailored exercise program). The various rebates of the membership fee (for reaching certain milestones) offered are icing on the cake (or the protein bar). The nutrition recommendations are quite reasonable and tracking is simple. I (a 68 year old female) have been consistently doing my program for 1 month and feel the progress already. I am grateful for Arnold and his team for creating this app, and giving me hope that I will be a FIT old lady someday— if I follow my program. The programs are simple, but they may not be easy!
