### 4/5 — Great app

*2024-03-06*

East to use and I’m seeing results from trying out some of these workouts. My only gripe is that it would be nice to have a dark mode.

### 3/5 — Looks good, but lacks a lot

*2021-12-30*

So it looks clean. Setting up workouts is not hard, and I like that you can set time or reps

However - that is where the good ends

What is the most basic need in a dumbbell program?  Probably tracking weight. I cannot seem to find it, but it is so fundamental I must be missing it. 

Also, there is no way to add your own exercises, so you cannot add something even as basic as push-ups or pull ups to your routine. 

A good foundation, but looking at the age of this app - if these basics have not been added yet, they probably never will be

### 3/5 — Basic

*2020-01-11, version 2.5.8*

Very basic exercises, should be free. Not worth $4.99

### 3/5 — Just ok

*2019-03-20*

For the money I thought there would be more options for different exercises. I keep looking for another page of exercises. Like where are upright rows just to name one basic exercise?

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2017-10-10, version 2.4*

So easy to use at home or the gym!

### 5/5 — Nice!

*2017-09-02, version 2.4*

Super friendly. Fun to work. Looking forward to expansions like different vocal trainers.

### 5/5 — Top

*2017-08-04, version 2.4*

A mio parere una tre le app migliore nel sup genere! Le ho quasi tutte quelle di questa serie!

### 5/5 — Perfection!

*2017-07-27*

I love this app. I hate going to the gym, but I love to workout. This app allows me to get a crazy, awesome workout in my living room. The exercises are well illustrated, and there are so many options. Great workout app, plan and simple!

### 5/5 — Challenging

*2017-07-08, version 2.4*

Good exercises!

### 5/5 — 굿

*2017-06-07*

굿 헬스장에서 이용중인데 아주 굿

### 5/5 — Quick workout app

*2017-05-29, version 2.4*

It's very easy set of workout routines

### 3/5 — Good, but...

*2017-05-25, version 2.4*

It's a good app, but...

- Voicing the next exercise would be helpful
- Randomization would be helpful

### 1/5 — Keine Gewichte hinterlegbar

*2025-04-22*

Leider können bei den Übungen keine Gewichte hinterlegt werden. Die Auswahl der Übungen ist aber gut und abwechslungsreich

### 1/5 — Keine Gewichtangabe

*2024-03-04*

In der App kann man keine Gewichtangaben hinzufügen. Wenn man immer mit den selben Gewichten trainiert, ist es nicht von Belang. Aber aus angegeben Grund, rausgeschmissenes Geld.

### 1/5 — Don’t buy ! Total scam now

*2022-10-14, version 2.5.9*

Videos won’t download. I spent 4.99
To not be about to view it unusable

There must be a bug because it used to work!!!!!

### 1/5 — Please refund me the $5.

*2020-04-24, version 2.5.8*

I never authorized this charge.

### 1/5 — Get the full app instead of paying for this lesser version

*2019-06-04*

There is another app by the same developer with dumbbells, stretches, warmups, etc for free with the option to upgrade. It’s called the Virtual Trainer Pro All In One. Try that before you waste money here like I did on something they are offering for free... 🤦🏻‍♀️

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2019-01-26, version 2.5.3*

I purchased this app with excitement as I’ve used their kettlebell app. Only to my discovery, none of the videos work. I deleted the app and reinstalled it with not success. Very unfortunate I’ll like a refund

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2018-09-18, version 2.5.3*

Crashes when trying to start

### 1/5 — None of the videos or graphics are working!

*2018-01-09, version 2.5.3*

Just spent $5 on this app and none of the videos or graphics are appearing.  How do I get my money back?

### 1/5 — Mrs

*2017-01-10*

Exercise tuition is visual only. Needs a verbal back up to ensure correct performance. There are far better apps available and much cheaper, if not free.

### 1/5 — 0 stars

*2016-01-25*

How do you make a dumbbell workout app with no way to keep track of what weight you used?? Great, you can build workouts and keep track of a score, but without the simple concept of tracking your actual weight this app is useless

### 5/5 — ずっと使いたい

*2025-12-31*

有料でも気にならないくらい
素晴らしいアプリ。
-各メニュー動画説明あり
-片側ずつ鍛えるべきメニューは1つ登録すると勝手に2回分（入れ替え）セットしてくれる
-メニュー、時間、回数を好きに組み合わせてお気に入りセット作成可能（順番も後から入れ替えられる）
-合計時間が予め分かるので自分の好みの長さでトレーニングできる（忙しい日は短めに）
-終了後、消費カロリーが出るのでモチベ高まる
-ガイダンス音声&励ましセリフありで嬉しい

などなど。使い続けたいです！

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2018-11-03, version 2.5.3*

Best I’ve found.

### 5/5 — Make for Apple TV

*2018-10-24*

This is my favorite workout app. I was sad to see it’s not on Apple TV yet. There are few dumbbell workout apps on there, and none as good as this one.

### 5/5 — Muscles

*2018-09-03*

It Would be realy Nice when you add which excercise what Type of muscles train. Greetz

### 5/5 — Less than expected

*2018-02-26, version 2.5.3*

I thought this would have more than 2 pre-built workouts. There are only 2 - tabata and 200 reps challenge. During tabata the counter is bigger than the video of the person doing the workout. It should be the other way around. However I did tabata for 10 minutes and it woke me up. 

The Build yourself part allows you to build your own workout from 25 beginner exercises, 36 medium exercises and 3 hard exercises. There is also a skeleton where if you click a particular muscle, it shows you which exercises work that muscle. Then once you build your workout you can select from 4 workout types - standard, tabata, HIIT and circle. You can customize reps, rest time and workout time. This part is outstanding compared to the pre-built workout part.

The app writes your workout minutes and calories to Apple Health.
