It logs your rest, weights and schedules everything out for you on a calendar. Been using it for over a year and will never use another app! ### 5/5 — Could not recommend more! *2024-09-16, version 5.13.0* Shannon truly knows her stuff. No junky filler moves. Get in and get out. I’ve done both the gym and home programs and gotten results from both! ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2024-09-16, version 5.13.0* I’ve been training with this app for a little over a year now and can’t say enough good things about it! I’m making incredible strength gains and my body has changed considerably! Everything is laid out in the program and there are options for home and gym! It changes every 6 weeks and I love that about it! There are options/alternatives if you need them. I also love that you can check your history to see how you’ve progressed as well as videos and an area to take notes to check back on! Shannon makes herself very available if you have questions as well. If you’re looking to make real change you need this app!! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2024-09-16, version 5.13.0* I have used this app for almost two years and even my husband approves! It’s easy to use, love the alternatives she gives for each exercise and the fact she is available to answer questions is awesome and timely! I’ve not regretted it! ### 5/5 — Awesome App! *2024-09-16, version 5.13.0* I have been using The Gym Nurse app since January and I love it! It’s super easy to follow and I’ve never been stronger. Shannon is very helpful and knowledgeable! ### 5/5 — BEST INVESTMENT IN YOURSELF *2024-09-16, version 5.13.0* I have been consistently doing the gym nurse program for a year now. I have seen significant gain in my muscle growth and fat loss. It takes doing the WORK and getting your nutrition in check!! Her program is definitely worth the investment!! Love love love it!! So thankful to be part of her program !! ### 5/5 — Love! *2024-09-16, version 5.13.0* I absolutely love Shannon’s straightforward training plans. No “trendy” moves, no super sets, just efficient hypertrophy training at its best! Option for gym, home and now travel plans. Meso cycles are about 6 weeks, but you’re always training the same muscle groups just with slightly different variations. Honestly worth every penny and the best programming I’ve ever done. ### 5/5 — Amazing workout program *2024-09-16, version 5.13.0* I love Shannon’s app! She has different programs to choose from for gym or home. Very user friendly and a great value for what you get. Focusing on progressive overload with a variety of exercises. I have been doing it for almost a year and my body composition has changed. So excited to keep going and build more muscle. You won’t be disappointed with this app! ### 5/5 — Never leaving again! *2024-09-16, version 5.13.0* I've tried so many fitness apps and I keep coming back so I finally committed! The progressive over load keeps you buding muscle. I love that she has resta built in after every set. You can add and customize as needed. I love that you can track notes and history and if you have questions she is SO quick to answer! ### 5/5 — I am so happy! *2023-10-12, version 5.11.1* I am on week 3 of using this app and felt the need to share how happy I am with it. My back pain is FINALLY going away now that I’m focusing on strength and not adding in HIIT or random weekly moves. This is harder than I thought but I’m already lifting double from my past program and I cannot express how proud and excited that makes me for the future. Shannon is the best and her app is super easy to use and navigate. If you’re on the fence, try it out!! ### 5/5 — Fantastic app! *2023-05-09, version 5.9.1* Absolutely love the Gym nurse training app. The workouts are great and I love her videos that help me ensure proper form. She has loads of tips and tempo suggestions. Having the ability to track my weights and see my history with each exercise helps me progressively overload. I have seen ample progress and I know that Shannon (The Gym Nurse) is helping me gain strength and knowledge! Highly recommend her app and training plan. Well worth the reasonable monthly price! ### 5/5 — Best workouts *2023-05-08, version 5.9.1* Shannon knows her fitness!! Great workouts, progressive overloads, and amazing results. I have been using her workouts for about 2 years and they have completely changed my body and health. ### 5/5 — Fav programming *2023-04-19, version 4.21.2* I love the simplicity of Shannon’s programming, she sticks to what works! There are options for both home and gym with 4/5 day splits My husband and I have done quite a few programs and love this one the best. Every workout has tempo with written instructions plus video demonstration. We love it! ### 5/5 — Love the app *2023-03-15, version 4.21.2* Very easy to use. Home and gym options available. Videos and instructions of exercises available. Very happy with my progress and strength since starting. ### 5/5 — Thank you!!! *2022-09-25, version 4.18.2* I’ve followed Shannon for a while on Instagram, and I appreciate how she shares her knowledge of exercise and nutrition. Her app is no different! I now realize my past work outs were no where near as challenging as they needed to be for me to see results. Shannon’s app helped me to figure this out. AND - it’s a work out I will stick with. Thank you Shannon! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Buyer Beware! *2024-05-23, version 5.13.0* I had no option to cancel in the app. I googled to find out how to cancel. I emailed and got a vague reply to contact owner of platform with no specific contact info. I googled again to find a 888 number in which they gave me a yahoo email address and still awaiting response. This seems like a scam! I am reporting this. ### 1/5 — Can’t create a login *2023-10-30, version 5.11.1* I got this app really excited about it but it won’t let me create an account so that I can login. So disappointed ### 2/5 — Overpriced *2023-09-14, version 5.10.0* You can find very similar workouts online for free. Very rudimentary app. And don’t even think about asking her a question. She will speak to you like you’re the dumbest person on earth. She’s very condescending and unkind. ### 2/5 — Meh *2022-07-06, version 4.18.2* The app is okay, but you can definitely find someone who is much more knowledgeable and willing to educate. Most of what she covers is easily found on Google, including the workout splits. She also gets easily and annoyed if you ask questions so is not a great person to try and learn new info from. I wouldn’t recommend spending your hard earned money on her services. ### 3/5 — App times out *2022-09-29, version 4.18.2* The app times out and stops the workout if you leave the app (also stopping the built-in workout timer). Pretty frustrating to have to restart the workout and set my own rest timer after every single rest (I check work emails and such during rest periods). The videos could use a little more instruction… I have had to go on YouTube to find more in-depth videos of how to do the exercise. I will probably use another app to track my progress which doesn’t really make the price worth it… ### 5/5 — Gym Nurse *2026-03-12, version 5.25.1* Great app- worth the investment. Love that there’s no commercials or noise: I can listen to music and follow along. I’ve used this app for years and keep coming back. Shannon is a sweetheart and the customer service is amazing. Loyal and happy customer here! ### 5/5 — Perfect *2026-01-15, version 5.25.1* The best workout app there is- and a trainer who truly cares about the quality of her programs! Shannon incorporates the latest in muscle development science! ### 5/5 — I absolutely love this app *2024-09-17, version 5.13.0* I’ve been using this app for 7 months now and it’s the best! I highly recommend it to any woman who wants to get stronger. She provides so many tools and is always available to answer questions. ### 5/5 — Love this App! *2024-09-17, version 5.13.0* This is exactly what you need if you want to start lifting or have just left a coach. I left a coach & wanted something that would program & track my lifts. This does it. I have used this for a year & love it! ### 5/5 — Fantastic program and great value *2024-09-16, version 5.13.0* I switched to GymNurse App a few months ago and I love it. I’m not the best with technology but she gives clear directions. However the most important thing are her plans. She offers various plans to fill ones’ needs: home, gym, 3, 4 and 5 day. She has very clear instructions and videos on how to do the exercises. She has a FB page for subscribers as well. She answers all questions. She is not rude or condescending- she offers ton of free info on her IG page and is super helpful. However she doesn’t seem to suffer fools. I think GymNurse has done so much to help women/ especially over 30- change their lives and physique. And the price can’t be beat. It is easy to cancel as well. ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best workout app *2024-09-16, version 5.13.0* I’ve tried a few different workout apps and this is my favorite. I’ve been using it for about a year and it never gets old. The workouts change every 6 weeks and there are lots of options for number of days and home or gym. It’s an efficient workout that doesn’t take forever but I also leave the gym feeling like I had a great workout. I saw the one review about it timing out but that must be an issue that was fixed because it never happens to me. Shannon includes alternate exercises for each programmed one, you can keep track of your weights and you can even add new exercises if you want. It has everythunf that I could ever want. ### 5/5 — Love the program *2024-09-16, version 5.13.0* I have been doing the program for a little over a year now and I feel so much stronger and confident. Also much more confident at the gym. I have reached out to Shannon a few times with questions and always got a quick response even when she was on vacation! So appreciated!!:) ### 5/5 — Best Workout App! *2024-09-16, version 5.13.0* Shannon’s app is the best! Besides a very detailed description, she gives a video of how to do the movement as well. She also gives alternate exercises if you are unable or don’t have the equipment. Best money I spend on myself all year! ### 5/5 — Feeling strong *2024-09-16, version 5.13.0* I have been using this app for about 8 months and LOVE it! The app is very user friendly and stores historical workout information to reference such as reps and weights so you can access it each time. It has a timer for rest periods and gives an explanation video for each exercise. It also has settings to change sets, reps, etc if you prefer to tailor the workout. The app allows you to search a specific exercise and compare growth and PRs which is very empowering. I feel so much stronger already and am very satisfied with the app and the communications and support we receive from Shannon. ### 5/5 — Everything I need! *2024-09-16, version 5.13.0* This app is perfect for beginners and veterans alike who want to do progressive overload weight lifting. My body is completely changing and everything from the guided video demo to the timers in between sets, to the alternate exercises… it’s everything you need without the warm bodied trainer standing next to you. Shannon switches it up every 6 weeks or so. She’s also very responsive to questions on the app. You can’t go wrong! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
