Bodyweight Training: Your Gym Reviews

Awesomely done!

I’ve been doing YAYOG for quite a few years now and it never gets old. I get compliments all the time! Not only that but I’m in the best shape of my life. It’s fully customizable, it can be made easier or harder. I mean there’s literally 50 weeks of training from beginner up to expert. And It’s perfectly okay to stay at a level where you’re comfortable. For the price, you can’t beat that! With a good diet and great exercise program you’ll be in great shape in no time.

I have been using this app, specifically the EFX program, for approximately 4 years now. I am a big fan of body weight exercises as I believe they train the nervous system in coordinated activation of muscle groups. The EFX program seems to balance activation of both the anterior chain as well as the posterior chain of muscle groups with some creative exercises, especially for the posterior chain group. The body weight exercises are done in sets and supersets that combine cardiovascular as well as strength training for a well rounded training routine. Mark Lauren tries to teach proper movement mechanics with brief instructions. Keeping proper posture is absolutely key to obtaining maximum benefit from body weight exercises. A working understanding of Alexander Technique can be helpful in understanding some of the brief body mechanics instructions that he gives. Implementation of proper posture can improve activation of abdominal musculature during plank and squat movements; however, this is not obvious from the program as it is. This is one area that could stand some improvement/tweaking. I would love to see more progressions of the exercises in the future. Overall, I love this program and highly recommend it.

Take anywhere exercise

Excellent functional workout. Although a bit redundant, the workouts are functional and work anywhere you have space.

I love these quick workouts. I’m not a gym person so this is a great at home workout. I’ve been doing them for about 2 years and look forward to them. I’m in a size 4 and get compliments all the time on how I look. Thanks Mark

Best warmup and cool down exercises.

Bought this app a few years ago. The basic workout was too intense for me. But I have not found better warmup or cooldown exercises. I use them for biking, running and swimming warmups as well as body weight resistance. Great app.

Warmup auto skips

What happened. To get a warm up and cook down you need to add them in manually

Awesome but please fix two more bugs.

I started using this app over a year ago and wasn’t able to stick with it until now. So far I love it 4 weeks in. I’m a new mom and this workout format is easy to fit in around baby. I do 30 sec of work and with Almost 2 min breaks in between sets I can hold or play with baby easily. Love the no frills audio instructions and visuals are perfect. It’s like a personal trainer in my phone. 2 annoying issues have popped up since I have bought the app: 1. If I need to restart a set it doesn’t start the timer over it continues the time but changes the set number to something crazy like 1/512,467 !?Then once that set is over it tracks back to the next real set. So no set restarts work here yet. 2. This used to work but now it doesn’t: the warm up and cool downs are automatically skipped and I’ve lost control of that feature in my guided program workout. It started doing this after I finished week 2 and I’m almost done week 4 of beginner level. I realize I can manually do the warmup and cool down but it was built into each workout of the guided program before and now suddenly the app skips to the main workout over the warmup and then skips to the workout complete screen over the cool down but it briefly touches both warmup and cool down screens. Weird. I was doing them before since it was so integrated but now I find myself getting lazy because I’ve found the time saved is kinda nice but not as healthy for me in the long run... Overall great app. Please fix these two bugs and I’ll change my review to 5 stars.
