It’s more than that. *2026-09-05* 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. ❤️ ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2026-09-05* 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. ### 5/5 — Not what you might expect *2026-09-05* 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. ### 5/5 — Best Fitness app of all time! *2026-09-05* 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! ### 5/5 — just works *2026-09-05* 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! ### 5/5 — More Than a Fitness App *2026-09-05* 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. ### 5/5 — Application extraordinaire *2026-09-04* 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. ### 5/5 — I never thought it would be so good. *2026-09-04* 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. ### 5/5 — Best app I've ever used *2026-09-04* 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. ### 5/5 — Inclusive and Strategic Fitness *2026-09-04* 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! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-09-04* Started this app/training to get my strength back post partum. It has not disappointed. In just a few weeks my strength has improved more than I could have imagined and faster than I expected. Consistency and one workout at a time is key. Tracking your metrics and getting just a little stronger each set. Thanks Arnold and staff! ### 5/5 — Benutze es seit Tag 1 und bin sehr happy *2026-09-04* Ich habe mich beim Launch für eine Lifetime Membership entschieden und auch bei einigen Zweifeln seitdem eigentlich nichts bereut. Die regelmäßigen Workouts halten mich bei der Stange, und die positive Art erlaubt einen die häufige negative Konsultation mit der Fitness. Absolute Empfehlung. ### 5/5 — Best Workout App Ever *2026-09-04* It’s the best app made by the best people with the best vibe. This is for anyone! I couldn’t be more delighted to have stumbled across this gem. ### 5/5 — Excellent fitness app *2026-09-04* For the first time ever I’ve got a proper structure to my workouts. As always with something new you have questions about how it works but every question has been answered immediately either by another member or by one of the coaches. It’s a really friendly positive thing to be a part of. I would highly recommend it. ### 5/5 — Best I ever tried *2026-09-04* I have tried a few Fitness apps over the years and I have to say that I am extremely satisfied with this one. First of all, it is great as a standalone Fitness app, helping you build comprehensive programs that cater for your needs. But most important thing, is it caters for your equipment too, so you don’t need to spend crazy amounts of money to create a gym. Need to highlight as well the fact that you have such a large community that interacts and helps each other. And, not the least, helpful tools for your diet to keep you accountable without having to stress about counting everything. Overall best up I’ve ever tried. Thanks to Arnold for the initiative and to promote it. But an even bigger one for the whole team around it that make it possible ### 5/5 — Lifesavers! *2026-09-04* With so many fitness apps available, Arnolds app is now full featured with not only weight training programs but examples of how to do every exercise correctly. It now has nutrition tracking but most of all a massive community that supports each other and seasoned members guide new members. Arnolds app saved me from my minefield of apps and led me on my fitness journey that has literally turned my life around and I don’t think I’d be here today without it. ### 5/5 — Simply the best *2026-09-03* Best workout app. Strengthens not only the body but the mind. The team is as real as it gets. Thank you pump club team! ### 5/5 — Best fitness app EVER *2026-09-03* Just from the very beginning, the fact that they let you know when you’re free trial is about to end which so many apps don’t do. But that’s just the beginning. But I think it gets you a taste of their ethos. You can set up for a program that has you doing body weight, exercises, or exercises more fit for a gym, or those for a home gym. I did sign up for the going to the gym one but sometimes I’m just not gonna have the time and I can swap exercise exercises that for example use a barbell with dumbbells and I can use my equipment at home. You actually can go on zoom calls with the trainers and the developers on a pretty regular basis for questions or input. It’s exceptionally positive in regard to encourage encouragement. I just can’t say enough good things about it and I have totally stuck with it and I was afraid I might stop after a week or two and it’s been a month and I’m already feeling stronger and I’m 66 years old. I used to be quite strong 30 years ago. This is just a wonderful help!! ### 5/5 — Probably the best overall app ever *2026-09-03* I have had the pump app since its inception and it has changed my life. I had always followed Arnold and found him and his story to be a true dream come true story, but the more you learn about Arnold the more you learn it wasn’t a pie in the sky dream he just hoped would come true. He made it come true through hard work and reps. To have the discipline to never lose sight of where he wanted to be. I say all of that because that is what you get with the Pump App, you get a mindset. The workouts are phenomenal and they have workouts for anyone beginner to expert all just waiting here in the app, but that is where this group is different then any others I have found. The research they provide, the variety of options like nutrition and Arnold’s AI to the motivation to build the discipline to never stop. I have almost 100 weeks straight and am just as excited to go to the gym as I was in the beginning and more then ever in my life. ### 5/5 — A New Religion *2026-08-28, version 1.82.0* This app is the best training program I have encountered. The weekly articles evaluating studies is invaluable. The training programs and weekly Zoom calls keep me on track and encourage me to continue my journey improving my health and fitness, and making lifestyle changes. Arnold and his team are superb. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Major disappointment *2026-08-17, version 1.80.0* I can’t rate the app fairly because I can’t even get into the app. It merely leads me in subscription circles no matter how many times I try to change the email address, delete the account, which is when I find out the the account can’t be deleted because logs right back in despite informing me of the previous account’s deletion. So something really odd is going on here and it has lead me to question the legitimacy of the app. Contacting customer service only offered passive aggressive remarks instead of constructive feedback and actual assistance. It was a shame really. Im curious to know what Arnold himself would’ve thought about the exchange experienced with this app and its customer disservice. ### 1/5 — Good but unusable *2026-08-10, version 1.78.0* Update 2- I long ago stopped using the app but they just charged my card again. I previously called the app a good try but still buggy. Now I update it to mostly scam. Update - I tried one more time to get into the app and realized not only is it bad for workouts, it’s also bad for my mental health- like so bad that trying to use this app made me want to self h6rm. This app will make you that crazy. Just don’t. — Update - this app’s big idea is instead of giving you options, Arnold will pick the absolute best program for you and you just simply stick to it. No choices to make, no wrong turns to slow you down. I started strong and for several weeks pushed and did it. Then I didn’t. See, the all or nothing attitude very quickly turns from ALL to NOTHING. because life is in the in between. So when I couldn’t keep up doing exactly what it said, the app no longer had anything useful to contribute. Unlike other coaches that can adjust. Very few people will be able to stick to the program as written, a more successful coaching app would adjust to your real life. — Original review: Excellent program, decent layout for tracking your workout, design is a little clunky but it works. Problem is it doesn’t calculate how much weight to lift. Which makes it pretty much useless. It’s not a complete program to just give exercises and sets and reps without saying how much to lift. You can’t execute. That said the program itself looks pretty good. But you can’t do the program without knowing how heavy the weights should be. And if the app isn’t supplying that, it’s not a true coach. ### 1/5 — Customer service??? *2026-06-11, version 1.67.0* I joined 24 hours ago and haven’t received a code to open the App yet!! Clock is ticking and I’ve lost a whole day of the seven day trial. I have received the welcome email. I’ve tried to Resend Code too many times already. I’ve emailed Support twice, checked Spam folder every hour, and CRICKETS! I can’t even cancel without getting in the App. ### 1/5 — Account Disappeared! *2026-03-18, version 1.58.0* The app was great and was working well up until last week. My account just disappeared! I lost over a year of progress and there doesn’t appear to be a way to get support. ### 1/5 — Lost Account *2026-01-15, version 1.54.0* The app was great until the most recent update. When I opened the app, it couldn't find my account. I had almost a years worth of progress. There is no real support link and I'm not able to see a way to recover the account. Sucks, because the app was really good. ### 1/5 — Beware Of Charges *2026-01-02, version 1.53.0* It says you get a 7 day free trial so I decided to try it out. When I signed up, I was immediately charged the $99.99. That’s false advertising. I’ve requested a refund from apple. ### 1/5 — Update has fixed things *2025-12-03, version 1.50.0* Thanks ### 1/5 — Last version crashes *2025-12-01, version 1.46.0* Good app but latest version just hangs on start up ### 1/5 — Not for NZ *2025-10-14, version 1.45.0* I just downloaded the pump club and want to pay for it. However it doesn’t seem to work for me. There’s just a square rotating box on the screen. Any ideas what this could be? ### 1/5 — Closes out mid workout constantly *2025-08-05, version 1.41.0* Had to downgrade this app to 1/5 stars cause I’m so fed up with it closing mid workout. I will be 5 minutes into a lift, go to change a song, come back to the app and it completely relaunches, to where I have to pick “continue workout for today?” and press next over & over to get back to the exercise I was on. It’s to the point where I’m likely not going to renew my membership if they can’t even get this figured out. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I’m Back! *2026-09-09* 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!! Gary Rak ### 5/5 — Small steps *2026-09-07* 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. ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2026-09-07* 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. ### 5/5 — Excellente App *2026-09-07* 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. 💪🏻🥇 ### 5/5 — Skip the excuses and start training *2026-09-07* 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 💪🏼 ### 5/5 — Best Fitness app so far *2026-09-07* Using it for 3 years now and the programs are excellent, the articles as well. Look no further ### 5/5 — Arnold’s positivity makes the difference *2026-09-07* 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! ### 5/5 — 1 Month in!! *2026-09-06* 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 🏋🏻🏋🏻🏋🏻 ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-09-06* Continuing to evolve, this app keeps my focus in the direction it needs to. No complaints here. ### 5/5 — Beste Fitness-App die ich genutzt habe! *2026-09-06* 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!
