App is glitchy
…and instead of being inspirational for ideas to mix up strength training, the exercises are unnecessarily complex for gym exercises that can be simplified by using a machine. E.g clam barbell exercises can be simplified using the leg abductor machine, with less chance of losing form as you work your way through reps - that is if the video actually works to show you proper form. Don’t waste your time or $$$ and don’t forget to cancel after your free trial.

Hi there, thank you for leaving this feedback, and we're sorry the app wasn't right for you. We've passed your feedback regarding the exercises over to our development team for review.
Terrible new videos!
The new video view examples with the update are so bad. It takes ages for the examples to even start - doesn’t make sense to be waiting around for ages when you are in the middle of a work out.
Also - if you are a strength training / Pilates girly like me it would be great to be able to adjust programmes - like having a 2/3 day a week programme lower, upper body and full body, not 2 x lower. Thanks!

Hi there, thank you for the feedback about adjusting the programs - we'll pass that over to the dev team for review. You can always create your own workout from the library of workouts in the app - but we don't yet have fully customisable programs.
App needs some help
The app needed to be restarted because there was a constant reloading. I did not like how the exercises were. They are not workout videos but instructions for the workout for each day. It might work for other people but it doesn’t motivate me.
Great app with variety of effective programs, with one annoying thing.
This review is very program dependent so this is NOT the case with all instructors or workouts. I did some of the weight training workouts and loved them. Very focused. But as soon as I got into beginner pilates/barre, I noticed instructors have a habit of “wooting” whenever a set gets hard (which is often in a 30 min workout). It’s loud into the mic, and repetitive. It was the same with the PVolve app, to the point where I had to mute the workouts. Love this app, love the great, effective workouts, but the same loud sounds on repeat are distracting and irritating when you’re trying to concentrate and push through.

Disappointing
I wanted to love the app but it’s not user friendly. It’s difficult to navigate and use. The alternative exercises for the home program are mostly gym alternatives. The dumbbell only program also uses more than dumbells. And the programs that sound good- the workouts go for 90 minutes. It’s hard to find a suitable program that matches time/split requirements and nutritional menu isn’t as broad or easy as it sounds and they don’t do refunds so stuck with an app I won’t be using.
