Thank you!! ### 5/5 — Hard *2022-08-03, version 1.0.3* Harder than you think…. But results are worth it ### 5/5 — Results *2022-07-13, version 1.0.3* 18 min workout produces results you just have to make up your mind and do it!! And I know you can because I did, almost 50 and getting a little jiggly and loose I have always been one to workout for hours and I found this and had to change my mind about hours of workout to get results. It has helped me get full body results while looking forward to a workout. It has also helped keep the jiggly under control and loose areas are tightening up!! It never hurts to try something good for you. Enjoy ### 5/5 — A great workout program! *2022-05-11, version 1.0.3* In the time I’ve been doing these workouts I’ve made more gains than all the years I lifted weights put together! Give this routine a try and you’ll see that it works! ### 5/5 — 18 min workout so user friendly *2022-04-19, version 1.0.3* The app is great all timed for you and segmented with sound and timers and everything.If you’re out of shape cardio wise the beginner workout will make you struggle to breathe my only recommendation is to allow previews of each exercise and also give advice on what size medicine ball to purchase based on age weight size gender ### 5/5 — Great work out *2022-03-23, version 1.0.3* Really appreciate the app. It works! ### 5/5 — I’m In *2022-03-22, version 1.0.3* The Peoples Choice HIT! ### 5/5 — Works perfectly for a healthy 35 year old! *2021-11-29, version 1.0.3* I’m in decent shape but haven’t worked out with weights in a while. I used 2 5 lb weights in place of medicine ball and it worked perfectly. Sweating and out of breath - great sign! ### 5/5 — I’m getting stronger *2021-09-22, version 1.0.3* This one I can get into. It’s short intense bursts make me sweat, but keeps the time and equipment to a minimum. This allows me to get done without a 5:00 a.m. wake up call. I did this on vacation last week, in the comfort of my own room. I’m still heavy and those Instagram, gym rats are mean! I can work out, no judgement. 👍🏼 ### 5/5 — Quick and effective! *2021-09-09, version 1.0.3* I’m 46 with neck and back issues. I thought the workouts would be to difficult for me but I was wrong. The workouts were great and I feel good. Highly recommend this app! ### 5/5 — 18 min workout kicks butt *2021-08-17, version 1.0.3* The People’s Chemist comes through in an exercise program the same way he does in his products. Simple and effective!! Five stars!! ### 5/5 — This app is perfect for moms too! *2021-08-10, version 1.0.3* I read somewhere that Dr. Shane’s wife did these workouts & idk but for some reason that encouraged me. I am 8 months postpartum and it’s taken me some time to get active again because I was healing from a c-section. I rushed into working out early on and that backfired. I am confident that this workout will help me on my health journey. I Just completed the beginner workout…& it wasn’t easy lol but I’m done! It goes by so quickly & I can already tell I’ll be sore but in best way. Thanks for researching the science and for formulating this workout plan to support it! ### 5/5 — Atrial fibrillation Gone *2021-07-15, version 1.0.3* I had persistent afib problem. Heart drugs stopped it but made me week. Doc did an operation that didn’t work. I started this work out in December 2017 and haven’t had afib since. I was doing other things like running and tae kwon do, but this seems to have a calibration effect on the heart. “That’s not stress. THIS IS!” ### 5/5 — Suggest *2021-06-03, version 1.0.3* Great app.. just wish they change up the exercise monthly to add variety. Thanks Al ### 5/5 — Totally Doable! *2021-05-18* Finding this a great way to get some exercise in without a huge time commitment. Can do it at home and all done in 20 minutes! I am a big fan of The People’s Chemist so believe it will have the desired effect :) ### 5/5 — Anyone can! Will you *2021-05-01, version 1.0.3* Anyone can give 18 min to your body a day. Isn’t your body worth it? If you think it is too easy, repeat it again for 36 min. Love the app. Shows you exactly how to do the exercises and countdown too. Thank you Shane! And The Peoples Chemist ### 5/5 — Perfect!! *2021-04-29, version 1.0.3* This is awesome, so easy with full blown results! ### 5/5 — Great, easy workout! *2021-04-27, version 1.0.3* It gets me moving. I’ve been way to sedentary while working from home. This gets me moving and at least doing something, who doesn’t have 18 minutes! ### 5/5 — Perfect quick effective workout *2021-04-20, version 1.0.3* I teach cross training and yoga and own a studio. I have found this fantastic for a quick affective work out. I will incorporate into my schedule. Thanks Shane for keeping us healthy. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 4/5 — Good routine *2021-04-25, version 1.0.3* Seems simple enough at first, but I was sore for a couple of days after my first workout. I’d not exercised my muscles in this routine’s pattern before. Nice way to get the body out of a regular routine and stress tre muscles in a new fashion ### 4/5 — Great workout *2020-10-02, version 1.0.3* This a great workout program and I like how it shows workout in slower pace the begin with so you are able to get the workout moves down ### 4/5 — Fast & simple but you need equipment *2020-03-27, version 1.0.3* I liked the first workout. Definitely challenging because you’re doing 2 minute intervals. I have a decent amount of equipment at home but I think the average person won’t have med balls. You can always substitute with other weights but just sayin’, you should know going in that it’s not body weight only. ### 4/5 — Too much but getting to it *2019-05-14, version 1.0.3* Week one only able to accomplish 1st two exercises. Now added third today, following an extra days rest. Pushing 70 and thanks for pushing, no leading, slowly back to shape. ### 4/5 — Ajax *2017-11-09, version 1.0.2* Good app. No digital farts yet and does what it says. Been using for a month One suggestion for the app. For those of use starting at the beginning, it would be great if there was a session lasting 90 seconds to transition to the two minutes sessions ### 5/5 — Work hard, 18 mins *2024-04-09, version 1.0.3* Work hard, eat real food, 18 Minute Workout, get sunshine, no sugar. The medical “healthcare” industry lie. ### 5/5 — Time for Seniors to get healthy *2023-11-27, version 1.0.3* I’m a senior and thought I was doing good with just walking and hikes. This is the best workout program for seniors too. Be sure to start as Beginner and if you don’t have medicine ball, used small weights and improvise your workout. Don’t throw the weights on the ground swinging like a kettle ball weight. Enjoy getting healthier. ### 5/5 — Fantastic Workout *2023-08-11, version 1.0.3* Shane really knows what he is doing. I’m in the blows of menopause and the weight was going up and my energy was going down. This routine has increase my energy level which allows me to do so much more. I exercise regularly now and I’m thinking clearer. No more mindless eating, no more sitting around. Im staying busy doing things that need to be done but also enjoying the things I like to do, like hiking, dancing, walking outside and soaking up the sun. The most amazing thing is I don’t have to do this routine everyday, but I still see the results. Thanks for a quick, effective workout! ### 5/5 — I love this workout! *2023-07-02, version 1.0.3* The simplicity of this workout makes it impossible to make excuses about not exercising. There are different levels, and they are even timed for you. Download this today—you won’t regret it!! ### 5/5 — Never get enough *2023-05-17, version 1.0.3* I ride a mountain bike minimum 5 miles each time out. Lift lite weights, dumbbells, kettle bell and weight machine. Do stretching to to limber up. I’am 73 and it feels good to keep the body aligned. My wife and I use your products “they work” and appreciate your honesty and care for your subscribers. Thank You. Eric & Pat.

I determined to go for 1 month to see a difference and leave a review. I am stronger, handle more weight, less winded, and ready for another month🙂 The ball I have does not bounce. So I just go to the floor and up on the last set. It seems to be fine, but would love to know if it makes a difference in what I’m doing? Thanks Jean ### 5/5 — Efficient!! *2023-01-30, version 1.0.3* I was looking for a well rounded and semi quick work-out to do after recovering from having twins and this left me feeling more like myself, sweaty, and sore!! Looking forward to many more👊🏼 ### 5/5 — Helps You Overcome the Mental Block *2023-01-30, version 1.0.3* If you are in a rut and want to start but you just don’t.
