User Sentiment
High confidence · 49 reviewsTop Praises
The coaching is top notch and the community chat is so supportive.
The voiceovers are fresh every week. It’s not AI. It’s a real coach with a real personality and style.
This app takes all the brain work out of going to the gym!
The app is extremely easy to use, even in between sets.
Top Complaints (Impact Areas)
Even when the videos are downloaded, I’m not able to fully do my workouts without interruptions.
If I download the workout before I start then I’d expect it to load the whole time, but I often have issues with that as well.
The app is so convoluted and has way too much going on. So overly difficult to navigate around.
I wish the program didn't have to change every six weeks though, or that we could still see old programs.
