Account support
I had to change my password and did so, but the app still tells me I have incorrect login. Info. For the life of me I can’t locate contact info for customer support. The support page takes me to the website, but there’s no option for contacting support there either. Please assist.

Send a message in the Sheiko Gold Facebook group. You'll get a fast response there.
Highly recommend!
I’ve been using this app for 4+ years and still highly recommend it to anyone looking to get stronger. Even though “Powerlifting” is in the title, it now caters to several goals.
I also recommend joining the Facebook Group. Most of your questions have probably already been answered. It’s a really supportive group. You’ll also notice how involved the developer continues to be.

Terrible. And won’t let me delete account
I decided to check out this app. I read that it’s better than juggernaut, so it got my attention. I don’t like that layout, it locks you in the workout, and you can’t go back to the main menu til you completed the workout. I just put in fake numbers til I’m finally able to access the main menu. I’m trying to delete my account and it’s not letting me. Please, just free me from this stupid app

You can pause the workout at any time and return to the dashboard. But what do you need on the dashboard while you're in the middle of a workout? If your objective is to load a different workout from the dashboard, then yes, you need to end the current workout before you can start a new one. Account deletion is also straight forward. Go to Admin->Delete Account. Type your username to confirm. That's it.
Awesome App - 10/10
Highly recommend this app if you want one place for all things Sheiko. Been making great progress on all 3 lifts. Reasonable monthly and one-time price considering standard rates for monthly programming.
Terrible
Very difficult to use with countless hoops to jump through to simple track bar speed.
Love this app
Great for those who self program their workouts. Can be taken in a more general training / hypertrophy direction, or hardcore strength. Highly recommended
Love the AI
Great app!
Great app for me!
I love this app because it does all the planning for my gym sessions. The more I use it, the more I learn and enhance my workouts. My gains have been significant. I highly recommend!
The best
The best workout app ever
Amazing
Excellent app. Great support, tons of features, frequent updates. Can’t say enough good things about this app. Buy the velos id if you can afford it, it takes the app to a whole new level, especially if you like to nerd out about statistics.
The best program I've ever used
I've tried many programs over the last five years but none compare even close to this. On other programs, I always ended up overtraining and either hit previous plateaus like a brick wall or get minor injuries setting me back.
However, the Sheiko program is different. I was afraid it would result in overtraining again because of the high volume and frequency. But this never happened because it’s AI keeps you two or three reps away from failure. It also monitors your recovery and will add or remove workload accordingly.
This has stopped me from overtraining whilst working hard enough to make gains. I got a bench press PB just before the gyms got closed and my squat and deadlift we're feeling strong. Unfortunately, it was not possible to test those before COVID-19 brought the lockdown.
Although I have not used all the training stages yet, I'm confident they will work great. I couldn't recommend this App more highly. It's been very reliable and is updated frequently. So far, I've subscribed for six months but intend to take out the lifetime option next. Even if you put your own program in, the recovery monitor is invaluable.

Excellent
SG is excellent. Adaptable and very flexible. I am getting up there in age and not a competitive powerlifter, but have still found the programming to be sound and useful for gaining strength across a variety of squat, hip hinge, and bench press movements. It’s simple to adjust the scheduling to meet your preferences and recovery ability.

Confusing
So far I’m a little confused as to how to use the app, even after reading the instructions.
- I can’t figure out how to do the preset program it mentions
-the AI workouts are confusing to move through because it seems you have to let the timer run down or it won’t count the set as complete (I started just fast forwarding the timer because I keep app interaction minimal between sets)
- if I toggled to another screen it would clear my sets and I had to reenter them
- there’s no way to mark the whole exercise complete. I just had to hit dismiss and then on the main workout page it would say I still had all the sets left

The preset programs will show up after you go through the observation period and there is some training history you can use to match up with an appropriate preset program. During your actual workouts, check the menu icon on the top right of the exercise screen. You can disable the timer there. But you still need to mark the sets as complete and rate the difficulties of each. That feedback is important for the app to figure out what's next.
Fantastic
Best online training app available, and the Facebook group support is unmatched.
Best AI based programming app
Most brillant and updated app for workout routine and powerlifting prep. Lifetime subscription is so worth it.

Everything you need to progress in powerlifting
There isn’t much more I can ask for with this app; intelligent and adaptive training, easy to use app, real-time adjustments as needed, extremely helpful group chat with lots of input and advice from the creator of the app. It’s nice to have to take the thinking out of training; the AI always seems to have a really good understanding of how much to push you and how well you’re recovering to balance your training.

Simplify your life - Use this
This is one of those things that you wish i could have had 10-15 years ago in high school. Having to sit down and manually plan out your lifts takes up a lot of time - and time is money.
Unfortunately, anyone who is serious about training beyond marginally better is bound to the need to either hire someone to tell you what to do or to plan it yourself. I ran into this app almost 2 years ago and it’s one of those things that is well thought out to the point where it seamlessly has integrated into my routine.
I had some questions along the way but the dev has always been good to respond and explain things.
I will say that it’s 10x better with the velocID tracker if you can get your hands on one (they’re hard to come by due to always selling out)
Honestly just take the plunge and try it for a few months - the feeling of being able to go into the gym with a good program while not having to consume your schedule with planning is worth it.

Very pleased with this app.
I bought the lifetime membership and it’s one of the best purchases I ever made.
I’ll take breaks from powerlifting and run other programs for a bit but every time I come back this app has something new and useful for me. Once the 5 day plan is incorporated I may never need to use anything other than the app.
Fantastic work by the developers! Highly recommend it!
