Value score / 100 Worth paying? Depends It depends

The Fitness App by FITNESS ONLINE MChJ offers a comprehensive workout experience with good guidance, but a strict paywall after a short trial period and several functional issues diminish its overall value.

Free + in-app purchases seen up to $59.99 4.7★ lifetime (34,206) since 2016

This fitness app provides well-designed, easy-to-follow workout plans with video demonstrations, making it suitable for beginners and experienced users alike R3R11. However, many users report a forced subscription after only 3 days, locking essential features behind a paywall R19R26R101. While the lifetime rating is high, recent reviews highlight significant concerns about monetization and app stability.

Free vs paid

The free version of the app initially provides access to workout plans with video demonstrations and basic tracking for a limited period, typically 3 days R19R26R101R250. After this trial, most core features, including continuing workouts, setting rest timers, and tracking calories burned, become locked behind a subscription R27R46R101. Some users note that even basic tools like making custom workout programs and using alternate exercises were initially free, but this seems to have changed R59. The paid version unlocks full access to workout plans, advanced tracking, and potentially more customization options, though some advanced features like dynamic rest timer adjustments or flexible workout editing are still requested by subscribers R7R17.

Worth paying if

It is worth paying if you are a beginner or someone looking for structured workout plans with clear video guidance and are willing to commit to the subscription after a very short trial, provided the app's technical issues do not affect you R3R11. Users who appreciate pre-made routines and don't want to plan their workouts may find value in the paid version .

Skip / stay free if

Skip paying if you are looking for a long-term free fitness app, as most features are paywalled after 3 days R26R87. Users who require flexible workout customization, reliable tracking, or integration with other devices like Apple Watch should also be cautious due to reported issues R13R17. Additionally, those sensitive to aggressive monetization tactics or who experience frequent app crashes should avoid the subscription R19.

Evidence note: While the lifetime rating is very high, a significant portion of recent reviews are 1-star, heavily focusing on the forced paywall and technical issues, suggesting a decline in user satisfaction or a change in monetization strategy. The positive reviews often praise the app's core workout content and guidance, but many of these may predate the stricter paywall or reflect users who are satisfied with the paid experience despite its flaws.

  1. [R19] 1/5 · US Unhappy: I get in a grove with this app and then next thing I have to pay for it. At least wait for a month or so I can see some results!
  2. [R26] 1/5 · US Paywall: Used to be able to use basic features free. Now you only get 3 days.
  3. [R78] 1/5 · US Money: They force u to purchase app to continue after 2 weeks
  4. [R87] 1/5 · US Waste of time: Thought this was gonna be a good app but go through the first few days and then you have a buy a subscription, waste of time don’t download
  5. [R27] 1/5 · US Extremely deceptive, lacks basic features: I wanted so so so badly to give this a solid 4 stars. It’s a little difficult to navigate but you can learn. It’s a little confusing to set up but you can learn. I was ready and willing to give it an easy 4-star review and start recommending it. Boy am I glad I **DIDN’T**! For the first week of using it, I could see the calories burned, could set the rest
  6. [R46] 2/5 · US Nice pictures but horrible functionality: There is no way to export your data, and if you don’t subscribe for $6.99/month they don’t even give you a rest timer. The diagrams are nice but the limitations make this a subpar experience.
  7. [R16] 3/5 · US 7 bucks a month is a lot: For 7 bucks a month, it's totally unnecessary. I would buy the app for 20-25 bucks, but this way... I'm deleting it. · translated

  14. [R346] 3/5 · GB I would give 5 star ...: I would give 5 star but i hit the subscription button and nothing happens. I enjoyed the app for couple of days then i went for the subscription and it doesn’t process . It does nothing , so I can’t use the full potential of the app.
  15. [R3] 5/5 · US What you’re looking for!!: Best fitness app I have tried . Step by step workout plan with videos. Easy to use
  16. [R9] 5/5 · US Amazing workout plans: I mean this app is great it has a good tutorial good workouts only bad part is everything other then workout plans were premium but what do u expect from a free app
  17. [R11] 5/5 · US amazing resource: such a great app to use in the gym OR at home. really good for beginners to correct form and inform people to make a solid plan.

  20. [R8] 5/5 · US Me encanta…!: Súper buena te da rutina para lo que quieras
  21. [R17] 4/5 · US Pretty good - could be better: It’s a straight forward app that is great when you can’t think of what to do. HOWEVER, not being able to change/adjust is irritating. I want to turn some of the supersets off but can’t. Also, it is clearly targeted for men given the weight suggestions or women who want to bulk. I find the weight recommendations sexist. But still with all of those issues, it’s one of
  22. [R31] 5/5 · US Awesome app with results.: No more useless working out at Crunch. I am seeing results daily with this app and it motivates me with new excecises daily. I don't need to overwork the same.muscles anymore.
  23. [R22] 5/5 · US Great app: This app is really good. I thought it was going to be a scam and make me pay but to my surprise I don’t. It also is really useful at tracking weights lifted and what your workout should be.
  24. [R23] 5/5 · US Helps: Great app! Helps me structure my workouts with visual cues.
  25. [R59] 5/5 · US Great app: I love this app. I made several of my own work out plans and tracking them was super easy. When I belonged to a very busy gym I would use the alternate exercises that are easily changed in order to best utilize my time. The app also gives great directions of how to perform exercises properly. I’m not too much into the community but it’s there if you like to share and get motivation from
  26. [R101] 1/5 · US Subscription required after 3rd workout: Liked using it with limited features for free but then it won’t let you access the workouts beyond that without paying for a subscription.
  27. [R250] 3/5 · US Fantastic and Then...: NOT RECOMMENDED. The first 3 days were great. Told me what exercises to do, showed me how to do it and I was able to keep track of what I did. There were other services of course like diet and nutrition that monthly fees associated with it but not the exercises so far. And then...when I clicked on the 4th day to get my exercises a screen popped up, Please pay $6.99 a month i
  28. [R20] 5/5 · US Bou7a: I’m so happy with this app it’s so useful and helpful to learn how to do ur workouts in a right way
  29. [R1] 3/5 · US What's with the update?: Now the exercise GIFs don't load, and the fonts have become HUGE. Do you check how it looks on different screen sizes? · translated
  30. [R7] 5/5 · US Feature request: Please add the ability to adjust the rest timer dynamically during a workout. Right now, I can set a default timer when creating the workout, but sometimes I don’t log a set immediately and need to start the timer with 30 seconds less for that specific rest period. Currently, there’s no convenient way to do that.
  31. [R13] 3/5 · US Workouts: Some of the workouts are very high sets and reps for the average person, and even tho I said I don’t have a bench it won’t adjust the workouts that require a bench. Overall tho a very good app for someone who needs a free workout plane.
