Extremely effective with some downsides – Zova Review

Bad 1) freezes often and there’s no way to prompt the video to restart or unfreeze 2) as far as I can tell, if you accidentally skip (“fast forward” on the touch screen essentially) an exercise you can’t go back 3) the emphasis on calories minimizes variety. LOTS of big lower body work and no modifications offered. My knees are killing me by the end; I wish there was more true whole-body emphasis and fewer explosive movements. Enough with the pop squats! Good: 1)You work the whole time. Stretch and cool down are on your own, so the times you see reflect true “on” time 2) the trainer, Vix, is great. She keeps my form on track and gives excellent guidance. She’s the reason I’ve stuck with it despite having to modify on my own a lot. 3) I love that my main workouts are fed to me and I don’t have to poke around the app. Just press play. 4) The extra workouts are very good as add ons. If I found something structured this way with a trainer as good as Vix but with less lower body focus, I’d switch. As is it’s still a pretty good app.
