Tone It Up: Workout & Fitness Reviews

Glitchy. Great when it works.

Can't Switch To Metric

I’m so frustrated because I love this app when it works, but way too often it doesn’t. I regularly cannot scroll through the daily moves - it will get stuck and won’t let me continue to scroll. In addition, when I take a class it will stop playing me a video and either give me a black or white screen. I will try to exit the class and renter and it will happen again. This same problem occurs with the On Demand section. In addition, it does not work well with mirroring on an Apple TV (all my other apps mirror perfectly but this app freezes all the time when I try to mirror it). When the app functions perfectly I am SO happy. Having classes keeps me motivated and gets me out of bed. I’m so frustrated I bought a year subscription when it is such a rollercoaster of working and not working. I truly want this app to work consistently.

Great App, but a few Glitches

The app is great and I love all of the workout videos, but occasionally the videos will have glitches. The screen will turn white, or will pause, but the audio still plays, or the video will play, but there won’t be any sound.

App force closes every time I try to start a video - whether on demand or in the studio :( I’m missing out! I have FOMO!!

Absolutely LOVE!

This app is amazing- it’s like going to a gym class, but at home! I have a newborn and a toddler so the good old days of going to the gym are long gone! I have already lost most of my pregnancy weight and am just thrilled with the quality of these workouts. The only thing is that I wish you could pause live classes. I have a 2 month old and sometimes I have to tend to her if she starts fussing or needs a diaper change. I hate that I have to miss a small chunk of the workout. Also, for some reason, the app doesn’t record your workout when you do an on demand one instead of the live class. In fact, that portion of the app is a little glitchy in general. When I add my own workouts, it doesn’t record it either for some reason. Hopefully these are just minor changes that can be fixed. Otherwise, I LOVE this app and will continue to use it!!

Love this app! A few more features would be great!

The only thing this app is missing in my book is the ability to save your favorite workouts somehow. Or at least bookmark them? someday I would love to see postpartum friendly workouts for the babes who become moms ?

Add more TIU features!

I only use the free version of the app and like it for workouts, but I would love more functionality that works with journaling and searching of the recipes. It would be awesome to not have to search through PDFs to find what I need (very clunky for the high cost of TIU Nutrition Plan) and search recipes by ingredients on-hand. Imagine the Blue Apron style recipe database meets in-app capability of the TIU paper journal and I think this app could be dynamite.

Not the TIU I know and love

This app isn’t great. It’s glitchy. It buffers. It shuts down. There are too many new trainers. I can’t keep track of them. They aren’t personable like K&k. Not enough of a warm up session on the studio workouts. The studio is cold and impersonal. I’m all about the beach workouts, which they are occasionally bringing to the studio. TIU has changed a lot since I first joined in 2014, and this app shows me they have changed in a direction I don’t love. It doesn’t support the Tone It Up brand and experience. It makes things more difficult. I feel less connected to the community, less inspired to work out, less inclined to keep nutrition #1, less connected to K&K. I believe K&K are trying to please everyone, and run faster than they are able. So they bring in more and more options. Too many new trainers. Too many new workouts. Daily moves, videos, mashups, cardio, meditation. There isn’t enough time in the day for it. Thus, there is just TOO MUCH. It feels overwhelming. There are so many options I might as well just turn to the internet and mix and match my programs, instead of sticking with one program that was clear and easy to follow. I felt safe being a Tone it up girl because it was a simple program and I knew K&K were looking out for me. But no longer. There is simply too much and it’s more free form, and it’s like I have to build my own workouts (especially if I have to abort a studio class because I get kicked out, or there’s no video, or no audio, and it’s 5 am and my willingness to then create my own workout doesn’t exist, so I skip a workout). So, then, what’s the point of Tone it up? This app is a manifestation of the anxiety, isolation, and chaos I feel while interacting with the TIU of 2018. The best part of being a Tone it up girl is that you still have your Instagram and Facebook communities, you still have your old nutrition plans, and you can still access your premium videos on their website, which I love. If you are a TIU girl, pass on this app.

Love this app!

Prior to this year’s Bikini Series, I was using the app inconsistently, even though I love it! With this year’s Bikini Series, I’ve been using the app every day! It truly is a great way to wake up! Chatting with the girls before the class provides so much motivation, especially knowing how hard it was for EVERYONE to get out of bed for the 5:30am class! I would love it if you added a “Favorite Workouts” feature so that we can easily access our favorite workouts, without having to remember their name. Thanks for a great app!

Most of the classes are available for free on YouTube

I purchased an annual membership and rarely use the app. Most of the videos here are available for free on TIU’s YouTube channel. I was hoping to see that 1) all of the content here was new/original and 2) there were new workouts every day and neither of those things were the case. They mostly post mashup videos (ex: 15 mins of an old cardio workout and 15 mins of an old ab workout) and it gets pretty repetitive, esp. with the daily moves (which are also available for free). The workouts themselves are great it’s just that there aren’t enough of them for what you are paying. Meanwhile BeachBody just did an 80 Day Obsession challenges with 80 new hour-long workouts. If TIU posted that much content it would be worth the cost. Also - the community aspect of TIU (search the handle on Instagram) is great, but the community aspect of the app itself is vastly overrated. They have little chats before and after the scheduled workouts, but it’s not that great. Just little chat rooms with a couple of girls posting things like “great job!”

Love studio tone it up!!
