### 5/5 — Gets better and better

*2025-12-04, version 2.3.6*

Seen a lot of development in this app in the last couple months, which has been really good for my friends and family. They really should make an app for men as well. Hopefully that’s coming soon because it simply just works.

### 5/5 — BEST FITNESS APP

*2025-12-02, version 2.3.6*

I love this app! The postpartum program came out right after I had my second baby and my pelvic floor recovery was night and day difference! I can’t wait to try all the different programs

### 5/5 — Best fitness app!

*2025-12-02, version 2.3.5*

I love this app!! Helps reaching my goals and staying consistent super easy💪🏼

### 3/5 — Glitchy, losing data

*2025-11-26, version 2.3.4*

Increasingly glitchy with latest set of updates. I’ve also noticed many times my data isn’t saving, may in part be due to duplicate exercises appearing. 

Would also be nice to have the ability to create custom workouts from all available exercises, and include a “benchmark” section to keep track of PRs for all exercises. It would be helpful for people like me that want to see specific exercises included weekly (eg pullups), that are only infrequently available in the prescribed routines.

### 5/5 — The best!!

*2025-08-11, version 2.3.1*

I have been doing her workouts for two years and they are my favorite of any program I’ve done. Thank you sadie!!!

### 5/5 — The BEST!!

*2025-08-11, version 2.3.1*

This app has made the gym a consistent part of my daily routine. It’s so easy to show up at the gym now and have the workout ready to go! I’ve used Sadie Active for over 2 years and have seen tremendous progress in my strength. Highly recommended to anyone who needs a workout plan. There are options for beginners, home workouts, travel, pregnancy and more. If you’re thinking about it, give it a try. You won’t regret it.

### 5/5 — Best workout program!

*2025-08-11, version 2.3.1*

I’ve been using this app for about eight months and I don’t know if I can ever go without it.  I love going to the gym and knowing exactly what I’m doing.  I love that I’m progressing the same muscles using different exercises.  I love the videos and explanations.  I love that she offers alternative exercises if I need them.  And I love that she offers the 25 minute version for this busy mom of five.  Still seeing results!

### 5/5 — Great workout App

*2025-08-11, version 2.3.1*

I LOVE your app!! I’ve used it for 3 years now and haven’t gotten bored or tired of the exercises. I love that you show how to do the workouts and teach us what it does for our bodies. It’s been sooo great. I feel stronger

### 5/5 — The best!

*2025-08-11, version 2.3.1*

I have been beyond impressed at this app. The workouts are incredible and the variety of moves leaves me challenged and never bored. Thank you for offering SUCH a wonderful app at a reasonable price as well. Beyond grateful!

### 5/5 — Takes the guess work out

*2025-08-11, version 2.3.1*

I joined the app at the beginning of April 2025 after doing Orangetheory for over eight years. I wanted to focus on strength training consistently as a 53-year-old woman going through perimenopause. The app is easy to use. The workouts are challenging. I love the notes section where I can look back week to week and increase my weight every month. You can't put a price tag on investing in yourself.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2025-08-11, version 2.3.1*

You can’t beat the price! The app is user friendly. The workouts are fun and effective. 5 stars for sure!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-08-10, version 2.3.1*

These workouts have changed my physique completely. Along with being adherent with 1g protein per lb of body weight, I have lost 10 pounds in 4 months and feel the strongest I’ve felt in years! I feel more confident before my wedding and I couldn’t be more thankful

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-08-10, version 2.3.1*

I have been using this app for 4 years now. It was so helpful for the scary feeling of being new to working out and not knowing where to start. This programming is so user friendly and takes the thinking and stress out of working out. I LOVE IT!

### 1/5 — Charged even after I canceled my 7 day trial

*2026-01-26, version 2.4.0*

I tried out this app, hoping it would be work outs I could follow along with, but it wasn’t. (You can get better work outs on YouTube for free.) I canceled my 7 day trial BEFORE the 7 day trial was up and I was still charged for a subscription. When I went in to the account, I could not see anywhere to cancel my “subscription” I was charged for (even though there is a “manage subscription” button). My only recourse was to contact customer service by leaving an email. However, I don’t even know if the email went through because there was no confirmation. I tried using the website as well, but it is even less help than the app. And, I do not have it on my Apple subscriptions, I checked that. Nothing like promising one thing and charging for nothing.

### 1/5 — They charged me without me allowing it too

*2025-09-17, version 2.3.1*

The sadie app is not in my apple subscription and they charged me anyway. i only tried 1 month ago. Never agreed to be charged, never sent me an email telling me anything. You can’t cancel anything from the app. Customer service don’t answer

### 1/5 — They charge you without tefling you or giving you the chance of cancel the suscription

*2025-09-17, version 2.3.1*

I subscribed for a month. There’s no current subscription in my apple subscription iCloud, cause I never suscribe to pay. I can’t even cancel cause the app doesn’t show up in my list of “active subscriptions”. I never received an email. The app doesn’t give you the option of cancel it through the app itself. It doesn’t even tell you if you have a current subscription or not. Very dirty.

### 1/5 — Inconvenient in my opinion

*2025-01-08, version 2.2.9*

These workouts are not a “follow along” kind. I know everyone doesn’t like follow along but it would be nice if something described the kind of format before you actually download the app and get into it. What it is, is a series of one minute clips showing the exercise. To move to the next exercise you have to tap the back arrow to get back to the list and select the next one. Really inconvenient in my opinion. That said, I think the actual exercise content is really good. Just not put together in a way that works for me.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t provide what they specified

*2025-01-07, version 2.2.9*

I paid for 1 year of weekly workouts,  used the app briefly,   And worked okay, but wasn’t a huge fan so I used other techniques.  As the new year started I decided to give it another try.  Here I am on Tuesday afternoon at 12:00, and there are zero workouts on the app.  What did I pay for,  only thing the app does is give you a calculator to determine macros.

### 2/5 — Good workouts. Bad app

*2025-11-30, version 2.3.5*

Workouts are great. App almost never works and it won’t let me cancel

### 2/5 — Awesome workouts, terrible bugs

*2022-10-13*

I have been a member for a year now and I absolutely LOVE the workouts! However, the app has a lot of bugs and is why I’m going to have to cancel. Every other month, it starts crashing any time I try to open it. I keep the app and my phone up to date on software always. I’ve tried contacting the company and every time, the only “fix” that works is to delete and reinstall the app. However, every time I do this, I lose all of my history of recorded weights. So I have to start over at trying to remember what weights and reps I used and I can never see my progression. It’s too frustrating and there has to be a better fix for it. I’ll miss these workouts as I’ve really liked them (although, I often would eliminate ~2 exercises most days, as it’s typically way more than most trainers recommend for one session and ends up being “junk weight”). But the app is beyond frustrating and glitchy.

### 3/5 — App keeps closing on me

*2026-02-04, version 2.4.0*

Once I start a workout - I’ve had the app close/stop the workout without recording it as completed. It’s happened multiple times. And it’s extremely frustrating especially right now when we’re doing the teams challenge and trying to get our workouts in. 

I love the app otherwise

### 3/5 — Good when it works

*2026-01-05, version 2.3.6*

Apps glitches out too much. Constantly has some sort of issue. Currently having issues switching the frequency of workouts but I have had other app issues in the past. For instance, wasn't able to log my progress.

### 3/5 — Take care to subscribe!

*2025-12-14, version 2.3.6*

I used to use this app and have moved on to do training in person. The app is great however if you’re looking to see if this app is right for you, take care to subscribe because if it automatically renews, you are unable to get a refund from the company. I was charged $100 and could not get it back despite requesting for it again.

### 5/5 — Obsessed

*2026-08-10, version 2.4.1*

Sadie knows what she’s doing with this app! You can easily adapt and adjust workouts to fit where you’re at in your fitness journey. I actually enjoy the workouts and they really do work. Everything can be easily modified and the video descriptions are so helpful. I have seen such great results from following these workouts and I just love this app! So user friendly.

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2026-08-09, version 2.4.1*

I’ve been using this app for almost a year now and I love it. It’s so easy to use, the layout is simple and clean, and the workouts are challenging and varied week to week. It’s so nice to just have my weekly workouts done and I don’t have to think about it. There’s also specialized programs like pregnancy and post-partum, and a 30 min option in case you don’t have a lot of time. You can toggle between home and gym really easily too. And you can swap out exercises as well. Overall a great training app!

### 5/5 — Great easy to use app

### 5/5 — Best app ever!!

*2025-12-27, version 2.3.6*

I have used this app everyday for over 3 years and I absolutely love it. Each week I get a set plan that is super easy to follow and I get a great workout!!

### 5/5 — Highly recommend!

*2025-12-23, version 2.3.6*

I absolutely love this fitness app. For only $10 a month, it’s incredibly affordable and worth every penny. Sadie Active completely takes the guesswork out of working out—you just open the app and get it done!
The app is so well thought out, with features like workout videos, macro tracking, progress photos, and weight logging. You also get access to four different programs with the subscription, which is amazing for staying motivated and switching things up especially when you are a  Mom and aren't done having kids! 💪🏼
She’s so relatable on social media, which makes the program feel realistic and sustainable rather than intimidating. Overall, the program is incredibly motivating and truly amazing. Highly recommend!
