Great app

The app is awesome love it. But where the 12.99 subriptions in app purchaces it no where only 19.99 a month. Other than that I love using this app

Great App! No Customer Service.

Great app and super motivating! I would give it a 5 out of 5 review if it was not for the customer service. Six attempts to reach Shred over 2 weeks about a glitch in the software. I did all usually fixes - log out/in, hard stop, power off/on, removed app, etc. Only responses are automated responses saying they will respond in 24-48 hours. Zero customer support!!!

Best fitness app

I’ve tried several other fitness apps, shred is proven to me. I lost about 15lbs in a year and gained clear muscle tone and stamina. The app works perfectly with my home gym and the videos help to make sure you’re doing the workout properly. I use it, my kids use it and I’ve turned some friends on to it as well. Get this app and you’ll see results!

Terrible CS

I’ve reached out via email and their support over 8 times with an app timeout/break issue. Never a single reply. So 2 stars.

Needs Another Update

App is great overall. New exercises and routines that pushed me in new directions, and most importantly, left me sore and seeing results. The bad: app needs updating. It doesn't always sync between apple watch and app so when you cycle through an exercise on the watch, it sometimes skips entire exercises and sets. You have to hit back and it assumes you want to repeat an exercise. Also, wish there was a program to hit legs and arms twice a week. It seems to cycle through body parts so even if you ask for a 5 day weekly workout, next sessions is a new region like shoulders or back, so only really get to upper or lower in total once a week, maybe 1.5 since there are focused next sessions. But not ideal and wish there were more options

Degraded Quality

Have been using this app for about 5 months and have enjoyed it, but the quality has gone down and they’re not improving features quickly enough. The AI coach voice that gives instructions has gotten weird in the last few weeks, sounding robotic and sometimes British (not the coach I have selected).

Also, we’ve been asking for muscle group heatmaps for months and they’re not delivering.

I emails support about the voice issue and haven’t heard back. Can’t recommend this app anymore and considering changing.

Somewhat questionable

Started out really liking this app but I don’t like the limitations on modifying your workouts after you start a particular workout. Can’t add sets or new workouts, and even alternates seem like they’re limited. They also don’t have basic exercises like adductor machines. Also finding it highly suspicious that they no longer show the 1st place person anymore so you have no idea how close you are to being first. Seems like you should also be able to interact with other users more than just a cheer. I also find myself having to modify workouts more often than not because it’ll have me doing every single variation of a particular move (I.e bent over row underhand, then overhand. Then dumbbell then machine. Like wtf)

Take on

Absolute con, I cancelled my subscription months ago and they have taken £90 from my account. No way of logging in to dispute. AVOID

Missing feature in recent updates

Why does it no longer show the user in first place (gold) and load during workouts anymore? Seems like an odd way to represent the challenge…

Repetitive, Redundant Programming

I subscribed to SHRED because I wanted structured, balanced programming without having to design and correct every workout myself. Unfortunately, the app regularly stacks minor variations of essentially the same exercise within one session.

My latest leg workout prescribed four rounds of barbell sumo squats, followed by three rounds of sumo deadlifts, and then three rounds of dumbbell sumo squats. The previous workout included dumbbell curls, rope cable curls, and combination curls—all in the same session.

I understand that the same muscle can benefit from complementary exercises, but these movements overlap so heavily that the programming feels padded rather than purposeful. The combination curl even repeats much of what the other two curl variations already accomplish.

The interface and demonstrations are polished, but I should not have to audit and replace multiple exercises when personalized programming is the feature I’m paying for. Until the workout construction becomes more thoughtful, balanced, and consistent, I cannot recommend the paid subscription.

I doesn’t show what muscle is working

Something as simple as showing the targeting muscle is not shown on the app if you need to target different muscles you wont be able to see what you are working on

Rankings and Goals

Solid app, would like to be able to see the top 3 rankings. It cuts off and it would be nice to have a person to chase

Features suddenly removed

I have had this app for years and have been using it diligently. All of a sudden today when I turned it on to do a workout suddenly many the features that used to be there or now behind a premium wall. That’s really irritating and annoying and I will not be renewing my subscription.

Quality seems to have gone down

I used to recommend this app wholeheartedly to friends, but now I’m on the verge of deleting it and canceling my subscription. The Ai “coach” is pretty useless and a lor of the time the video tutorials don’t match up with the selected workout (example: video shows a guys with dumbbells doing squats, typed instructions reference kettle bells.) I’m worried that all the maintenance of this app has been outsourced to Ai. Sad to see.

Mediocre

The exercises are extremely repetitive with single muscle groups being used for 2-4 exercises at a time. It’s a pain to fix every workout. Recently, the AI feature has been down.

Better than anything else

It's astonishing what this app can do. After feeling disappointed with my personal trainer, SHRED rebooted my motivation for workouts. It's an excellent tool for tracking progress and discovering incredible, intense workouts. If I could give it endless stars, I'd rate it from here to heaven.

New update causes Apple watch to skip workout sets

New update causing glitches

Best workout app

Having tried many different apps SHRED is by far the best, when it comes to ease of use and planning. For beginners especially this app is great in identifying the right workouts for your goals and a step by step guide to follow them.

Too Expensive

It is not worth

0 Innovation over two years.

App is generally great, loved it for a while. But there are multiple glitches that have not been addressed over two years, and very little innovation or improvements over that time. Going to use a different workout app just to access upgraded interfaces, workouts, and variety. After two years, it’s the same old thing.
