Frustrating UX!
This app is so frustrating to use. It isn’t intuitive at all. I’ll start a program, but then can’t find it when I come back to it. It doesn’t save where you left off. The search function doesn’t always provide clear results. Sometimes a work out will start halfway through but not at the beginning! I’ve had this app for almost a year and I’ve used it less than 10 times because it’s so frustrating. I wanted an app that would make my workouts more efficient, but this makes my workouts longer because the interface is so confusing to navigate. I don’t recommend it. Senada Greca’s Instagram workouts are great and easier to follow than the workouts in this app.

Bad workouts - the only app I’ve ever felt I needed to review
Not beginner friendly — 45 - 60 min workouts, 12-14 exercises, 4 sets each?? She even makes the 30 min workouts too complicated. And all follow along videos are painful to watch — dry personality and constantly miscount.
Workouts not well thought out — she has you running around the whole gym not keeping in mind that it adds friction to your workouts. We don’t all have a personal gym, it gets busy.
Not only that, her at home, dumbbell workouts require you to be up, then on a mat, then up, then on a mat, repeat, then go find a box to work out on. Messy. I thought the new look would mean better workouts, it doesn’t.

Disappointing app experience – too many bugs
The workouts may be good, but the app itself is frustrating to use because of the recurring technical issues. An app like this should make it easy to follow workouts and track progress, but bugs and glitches get in the way of the experience. For a paid fitness app, I would expect much better stability and reliability.

App doesn’t recognize my account AGAIN
This is the second time I’ve had this issue. I’m 7 weeks into another program. When I open the app, it prompts me to pay for a subscription. I recently paid for an additional 3 month subscription weeks ago and now I’m regretting that decision. The last time this happened, it took a weeks for IT to fix the issue. Hoping for a faster turnaround. VERY frustrating.

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.

Une très belle découverte
Très heureuse d’avoir découvert Senada, son univers. Cette application est exactement ce que je cherchais. J’ai de bons résultats et je ressens à la fois la transformation physique et intérieure. Merci pour cela
The Push I needed
So glad to have started Senadas workouts ! They have really pushed me harder with my training especially working out around 2 little kids running around I have surprised myself and been able to do it!
Tracking of exercise
The exercise tracking is very confusing and makes no sense. I had done other apps and it’s not so confusing as this app on tracking the exercises
Liquid Gold 💛
This program is kicking my butt for good, loving it, sweating liquid gold every session!! 😅
Good app
I only wish that there was talking or the option with the workout to help guide you.
Vocal queueing
There isn’t any. This is a miss.
This is NOT for the true unfit beginner! I’m ticked!
JUST moments ago I purchased this app because an influencer highly recommended it. After exploring this fitness app it is evident that it is far too advanced for the truly unfit beginner that is of a larger stature! There is no real program to help an unfit beginner to start slowly and appropriately in fitness, AND to add insult to this terrible expensive mistake and apparently I can’t get my two hundred dollars back! WTF! Food for thought, if an app is not clear of what it can or can NOT give you then do NOT purchase it!

Best Workout App
Love this app! Have used for 2 years and it’s been the best investment for my health!
Video errors
Great workouts, but I’ve only been doing a challenge for a month and have noticed many errors in the videos.. there was one that accidentally edited out some of the workout so I had to pause and catch up my left side, but then there are videos where the instructor messes up and asks for a do over, and those parts are left in so you’re just sitting there waiting for her to be where you’re at. Then there’s an upper body core and cardio where a total body cardio should be.. if you’re not watching carefully, you’ll make mistakes and have inconsistent workouts.

So Good!
Love the different exercises I’m feeling it cause it’s new to me!
Senada is amazing, but the app is unfortunately lazy
Senada is great. I’ll start there. But, the app needs to improve, to the point I cancelled my membership because of it. Weight tracking auto-populates (not to what I tracked for that exercise last session), but rather the weight from the unrelated exercise preceding it in the current sequence; the exercise descriptions are minimal, leaving much to be desired regarding important form cues, so you’re forced to study the video, which is problematic because the app will occasionally freeze and quit in the middle of a workout, particularly on videos. Last, the menstrual cycle remains toggled on despite saving it in the off position. More cons than pros, unfortunately. In the age of AI I’d expect significantly better than this.
