An incredible app
JimiD77
This app leads you through programmed exercises or gives you the ability to create custom exercises from a large library of interesting and innovative exercises. You can mix exercise patterns, sets, reps, etc. so you can challenge yourself no matter where you are. Get it, use it, you'll be happy you did.
Good, but there are better apps for free

Several years ago, I bought Mark Lauren’s You Are Your Own Gym book, and it helped me to get into the best shape of my life. Then life got entirely too busy and, well you know the story. Now that I’m ready to get back into shape again, I’ve found that the basic workouts in that book are a bit out of reach unless I want to be REALLY sore. I found this app and have been very impressed. Not only are there multiple programs available for your specific level of fitness (Basic through Elite), but there are also smaller workouts at those same levels and you can adjust the time from 2 to 40 minutes, making your own little program. I’ve found this very useful and also really like that it stores my history and exports to the Apple Health App. If you really want to get into shape, get this now. The warmups, workouts, and cool downs are all well designed and the app works great. Update: I recently changed phones and the app will no longer allow me to log in. I’ve contacted the developer and have been ignored. While the app seemed great for a while, it really isn’t now. Go with Nike Training Club instead. It’s free and works.
Well thought out programs and useful guidance
ToddStark
The interface is very well designed and I found the programs themselves are particularly good. The guided programs are very easy to follow with built in timing cues and rep counting for the different protocols used. If you want to skip to the next set early or pause or repeat a set at any point you can, without throwing off the structure of the workout. The progressions for the guided programs are sensible and yet provide challenge at each stage. The periodization in the programs makes for interesting shifts of emphasis from week to week that keep the workouts fresh. There are very specific guidelines for the different program levels, which is very helpful. There is also a way to construct your own workouts from the built in exercises if you want to vary things from the guided programs. Progressions start very easy and eventually become extremely challenging so this will be useful for a very wide range of people. Finally the programs in my opinion do a great job mixing different kinds of fitness into a single all around developmental sequence, there is endurance of different kinds as well as strength of different kinds challenged here. This is very far from a simplistic “let’s try even more pushups today” sort of programming, and the app does most of the thinking and workout planning for you. A couple things I found it weak on: (1) the history capture is not really a workout log at all, it is just a record of which exercises you did, so I find that I have to also keep a manual log separately to track things. (2) I found the implementation of “ladders” (timed pyramids) very confusing and difficult to adapt for different reps than the built in default ones. Overall excellent bodyweight programs and very useful guidance by the app.
After having a stroke...

After having a stroke, I started using this app as therapy and it helped bring me right along. It gave me inspiration to keep working out and keep moving. Thanks for making this app.
Fantastic update
Irish Floyd
This well executed app is a great companion for the book. Been looking forward to having the specific workouts incorporated into the already useful timers for the different workout types. Easy to understand and use. Thanks! It is a very large file, but I like having the video demonstrations incorporated.
Great

Love this app! Just what we were looking for - a day by day routine of body weight exercises, telling us exactly what to do. Beginner routine was pretty tough but we stuck with it for the ten weeks and got better. We are going to do it a again. (And maybe twice) before jumping up to intermediate. We love how everything can be done at home - we exercise after the kids go to bed. That’s the only time we have as parents of small children. The app is well made, it walks you through the routine and shows you examples.
So far the best app
charlie4404
Checking new apps around on fitness, and yayog system still the best. The mobility Rx section, great! What about animal movements? Total flexibility.
No excuses!
Scream Viva!
This app is effective and easy to use. 30 minutes gets a complete workout in anywhere in the world. No equipment needed. Heart is pumping just as hard as a HIIT class at the gym. Muscles are just as sore as pumping iron at the gym. This app basically took all the excuses away!
Hits all the major muscles
B reddzzzz
It seems like a lot of workout programs, especially ones that aren't using normal gym equipment, never work your back or lats because it's difficult to work them without some equipment. But this one gives you some creative ways to do it, and provides great muscle workouts with a minimum of equipment. I've been using it for years and really enjoy it.
