Love it

The workouts are so fun. I love that the messaging is healthy and body positive, so I can feel good doing it with my kids around. The app is easy to use but still sophisticated.

The Only Workout You Need!

Meredith is an amazing instructor who blends fun with fitness in an effortless way! Following her monthly programs has completely taken out the stress of planning what movement I will do for the day, and if I happen to miss one, she’s always there to remind me to just hop back on it. If you have questions or comments, she will always get back to you and clearly takes her community’s feedback seriously! The workouts always include a warm up and a cool down, so I never leave feeling like I pushed too hard or didn’t get to return to a resting state. This is the app you need if you love fitness, are indifferent to fitness but know you need to do it, or are looking for way to fall in love with it! I recommend to all my friends and truly look forward to my 5 days a week with Mer.

Favorite Fitness App

I am obsessed with The Playground! All of Meredith’s workouts are as educational as they are functional. I love learning about my body as I’m strengthening it. My personal favorite programs are Recess (monthly calendar with strength, cardio, and mobility workouts) and the videos in the morning care collection. She even provides pre- and post- natal programming, incredible yoga videos, and functional mobility practices. There’s something for everyone on The Playground!

Great app for functional workout

The playground gives a clear, easy to follow approach to strengthening and conditioning. Meredith meets you where you are at, making it both a worthwhile and fun workout app! Highly recommend

A game changer for my fitness journey

I’ve been using this app for the past two years, and it’s been an absolute game-changer. Mer has created an incredible hub that inspires movement and makes fitness enjoyable. The online classes are the perfect mix of challenging and efficient, and I always feel like I’m making the best use of my time.

What sets this app apart is Mer’s ability to educate while leading classes. I’ve learned so much about my body and how to move better, which has made a huge difference in my overall health. Not only do I feel stronger and healthier than I have in years, but I also genuinely look forward to the classes every morning.

If you’re looking for an app that helps you love movement and builds lasting strength, this is it. Highly recommend!
