### 4/5 — Good but not much for more advanced/experienced users

*2026-08-14, version 2.24.0*

I really love the body coach, Joe and the other trainers are all great but I’ve had this app since it started and as they’ve grown it’s much more skewed to general fitness- it isn’t so much suitable if you’re more experienced or advanced. There is still a regular check
In but doing the check in used to launch new workouts and it doesn’t any more. Still it’s all good fun and the workouts are varied.

### 3/5 — Lots of room for improvement

*2026-08-10, version 2.24.0*

I’ve been having issues recording my workouts. For example, I run one of the workouts on my cycle, from start to end, and the app doesn’t recognise it as completed (no blue tick). Likewise, I tried streaming a couple of workouts to my TV but the message “you completed this workout already” showed up and nothing happened. It was strange because that wasn’t true. Although technical assistants are gentle, they take ages in replying and they end up fixing the issue remotely and temporarily. One week after I face the same issue again.

### 5/5 — Just completed cycle 1

*2026-08-03, version 2.23.0*

I’ve enjoyed cycle 1 - I stayed motivated and engaged due to choice of workouts available. Even when the temperature spiked and i wasn’t keen to do HIIT, I found other workouts such as strength, barre and yoga.   I’m enjoying the challenges and the menopause series

### 5/5 — Workouts for all seasons

*2026-08-02*

I have been doing The Body Coach workouts since the COVID lockdowns and it is nothing short of amazing. There is variety, specialisation for all levels and it’s so efficient. The meals are awesome too.

### 4/5 — Tracey

*2026-08-02, version 2.23.0*

The app was amazing until I made it to the graduate level. After that there isn’t anything to keep you motivated. Nothing new or to take you to the next level, nothing to inspire you or to keep you interested. Im looking at other apps and other trainers for progress and inspiration which is a shame as I’ve absolutely loved the app.

### 5/5 — Finding myself

*2026-08-02*

This is a great app! I am a T2 diabetic person due to a tumor in my pancreas. It was never about life stile.  I was having a hard time keeping my sugars low. When I started this program with Jose, my sugars started to get low. My mood changed, my mentality changed and I started to see and feel the change after a week of starting this program. I am very thankful!! Joe’s program has helped me to find myself, to love myself and to trust myself all over again! I am so happy with everything in the app, from exercise to food to support from other peers. A huge thanks to Joe for creating something that fits every one!

### 5/5 — Absolutely fantastic for me!

*2026-08-01, version 2.23.0*

Been the answer to my barriers for getting proper exercise and healthy eating without having to feel restricted or bored!
Cannot emphasise enough how much this works for me , so many positive things to say , I am so happy it came along at the right time for me and i am so grateful! 
The range of items , help and support on here and the choice of the content is amazing and new things coming on all the time too!

### 5/5 — Ginger

*2026-07-31, version 2.23.0*

Joe Wickes has become part of my household! In my kitchen training min 4 times a week … achievable directed 30 min workouts with little add ons thrown in …. Brilliant! The most engaging gorgeous workouts ever

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2026-07-29, version 2.23.0*

I love my Joe Wicks! The cycles are perfect. Just the right amount of progression although sometimes it feels really tough but I guess it is a good thing to be pushed. In a way I feel like it is having my own personal trainer in my kitchen with me.

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-07-29, version 2.23.0*

Good meal plans and fantastic workouts, access to other workouts too especially if don’t have equipment or short on time so something to get you moving consistently

### 5/5 — Great home workout tool

*2026-07-24, version 2.23.0*

I love The Body Coach app. It gives me the freedom to exercise at home as soon as I get up, in the comfort of my own house. After my workout, I can finish my routine with an ice bath in the garden. Thanks to the app, I have a dedicated hour for myself 3 mornings a week before getting ready for the day.

The app is excellent value for money and affordable for almost anyone when you consider the cost per workout. Like any fitness app, though, you still need to put in the effort and press play—the app can guide and motivate you, but the results come from showing up consistently.

The recipes are a fantastic bonus, and I also love that you can choose between different trainers. Some days I feel like doing a calm yoga session with Lucy, other days I’ll work out with Joe, but most of the time I choose Leroy—the king of fun, motivation, and encouragement.

Another great feature is that the app keeps track of your progress with statistics and pictures, making it easy to see how far you’ve come.

Don’t wait—give the app a try. You won’t regret it!

### 5/5 — Fantastic app

*2026-07-22, version 2.23.0*

I have been using The Body Coach for three years and love it. Great workouts, motivational instructors and range of different types of exercise. I use at the gym and at home and never get bored!

### 5/5 — Encouraging!

*2026-07-20*

I have been working out with Joe’s videos since PE with Joe. His encouraging attitude, and the fact that he does every workout too, commenting how challenging it is, keeps me going. 

I have tried the yoga, HIIT, dance cardio, core, and now weight lifting. It helps that he explains how workouts affect us busy parents, but how off the scale matters more. 

So many fitness folks can be toxic, and I am where I am today because Joe and his team have such a positive, encouraging environment. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Fabulous App a staple in my lifestyle

*2026-07-19, version 2.22.0*

I love this app so much.  I hit 40 and decided that I wanted to spend the rest of my life healthy!  From doing this app I’m in the best shape and i will definitely be a member for the rest of my life.  The workouts are great just the right amount of time for my busy life and the food…. Well, absolutely delicious!

I do a different work out every morning, and have done for years. There’s always something to fit my mood.

### 5/5 — Body Coach

*2026-07-16, version 2.22.0*

I absolutely love this app. The classes are fabulous and very varied. The shopping list facility is an absolute game changer. I recommend it all the time. Money well spent

### 1/5 — Poor service

*2026-07-28, version 2.23.0*

I’ve been using Body Coach for 5 years - In January there was an issue with the log in as it was a tech error within the app but the service particularly from Gemma was awful. She did not resolve my complaint and told me to ask for a refund.

### 1/5 — Epic workouts

*2026-05-18, version 2.18.0*

I’ve been using the body coach app now for 2 years, love the variety of the workouts on it. I’m not a fan of HIIT workouts at the moment so am doing the strength ones.

### 1/5 — Can’t log in

*2026-05-11, version 2.17.0*

Would like to join in but the app keeps taking me back to verifying my email address and there’s no link.

### 1/5 — Work outs off phone please infact access on my laptop 🙏

*2026-05-10, version 2.17.0*

I really wish I could access everything on my laptop as I hate using my phone all the time and my eye sight  isn’t great at 60 so I have to wear glasses to work out 😖 otherwise its brilliant 🤩

### 1/5 — Body coach

*2025-12-30, version 2.9.0*

Just installed this app disappointed with it as you have to pay to use it not even a free trial waste of time

### 1/5 — Better Value Elsewhere.

*2025-12-29, version 2.9.0*

I’ve decided to use the free NHS 
weight loss app instead.

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2025-12-16, version 2.8.0*

Why make an app “free” if you can’t use it without paying

### 1/5 — Stuck in a login loop

*2025-10-23, version 2.4.0*

Tried to create a new account. Click on ‘email verification’. Get the confirmation email. Click on the link in the email. Takes me back again to the app. End up at the same email verification screen. And repeat. How do I get out of this loop so I can start using the app?

### 1/5 — If I could give zero I would

*2025-09-19, version 2.3.0*

I was locked out of my account for at least two months. Customer service was extremely unhelpful and ignored my emails. It was only when I threatened to go to the media with it that the agent replied. She continued to ignore me and accused me of never paying for this subscription and it was only when I contacted Apple that Apple helped me. Extremely disappointing for such a big brand name. Didn’t compensate me and such a lousy service I can’t say lousy loud enough. It’s just a money making business and they don’t care about the customer.

### 1/5 — Log in

*2025-06-22, version 1.114*

With the sport I do I am able to get the app for a year free, however it is my mums email that is linked to my sport80 account. This means that I am unable to log into my account as you have to be able to access the account with an email rather than a password. It would be more efficient if there was a password or email option as to prevent issues like this. Considering a large demographic of your customers will be children with their parents emails this is a major issue

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2026-08-26, version 2.25.0*

Such a good app and excellent value. Gives you structure, the ability to progress, the food is yummy and the workouts are varied enough to keep it interesting. This has been a game changer for me.

### 5/5 — Body coach app

*2026-08-25, version 2.25.0*

This is an amazing app - so versatile and easy to follow - now part of my life!

### 5/5 — Excellent workouts and seeing results

*2026-08-18, version 2.25.0*

A brilliant app. Been using it for about 3 months now and I’ve dropped a kilo a month and started to put on some muscle too - the wife is noticing! The exercises are fun and the recipes are easy to put together.

### 5/5 — Best body ever

*2026-08-16, version 2.24.0*

I am 77 and been doing weights and yoga for nearly 2years. Sore wrists at times but up to 6kg dumbbells

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-08-14, version 2.24.0*

So user friendly, great workouts and delicious meals

### 5/5 — Fit in with life

*2026-08-14, version 2.24.0*

I find that this app gives me the flexibility to do exercises when I can fit them in around family life and work. The exercise sessions feel about the right duration and the mix of exercises and sessions to choose from always keeps it interesting and very doable. The trainer does the whole exercise session without edits which I think makes a big difference to encourage me through. I’m finding that I feel better overall, my body is getting regular exercise which feels good and my mind feels I’m achieving something which makes a bigger positive difference than I thought it would. I highly recommend this app to anyone who is considering trying it.

### 5/5 — Everyone should use this App.

*2026-08-13, version 2.24.0*

I urge everyone to try The Body Coach App it’s changed my life. The works-outs are suitable for everyone just choose where you think you are, beginner, intermediate or advanced and change if it’s not right for you. The food is easy to make and amazing it will help you rethink about you eat and you’ll find new foods and ideas. Your mental health will improve and you’ll feel amazing.

### 5/5 — Fab app

*2026-08-12, version 2.24.0*

I like that you have a variety of workouts and a don’t have to think about what to eat! I would like to see more Pilates and yoga please. Also could there be a filter choice for low impact workouts.

### 5/5 — Makes fitness easier

*2026-08-09, version 2.24.0*

I’ve been with The Body Coach since pre lockdown and always keep coming back to it alongside PT sessions. I love the workouts to follow along with, the range of trainers and the more recent focus on strength. I like everything in one place and that I can take the workouts with me wherever I am. Joe and crew have definitely helped me to stay consistent and motivated.

### 5/5 — Love the app!!

*2026-08-06, version 2.24.0*

I use the body coach app daily- work outs and recipes. I used it all the way through my pregnancy with prenatal work out and postnatal with the amazing Courtney. I’ve just completed the 15 mins workout challenge after 6 weeks of holiday and it’s perfect with a baby and little time. Have loved Joe Wicks (Body Coach) and used his plans for over 10 years now. The app is awesome!
