Latest update · v2.9.2

What the developer says changed (the verdict above weighs this against what reviewers report):

This update includes numerous improvements to the look and feel of certain content, providing users with an even smoother program experience. Now carry on smashing those fitness goals!!

Recurring themes

Upselling & Sales Tactics negative
Many users are frustrated by the constant and aggressive attempts to sell supplements, additional programs, and coaching, often feeling pressured or misled. This includes frequent emails and long sales videos within the app. Some feel they paid for a program only to be told they need to buy more to get full benefits.R5R15R27R37
App Functionality & Bugs negative
The app is widely criticized for being clunky, not user-friendly, and having numerous technical issues. Common complaints include videos not loading or looping, buttons not working, difficulty navigating, lack of workout tracking, and the app crashing. The recent update notes mention 'quality of life improvements and bug fixes,' but recent reviews still report these issues, indicating the fixes may not have fully addressed them.R17R28R38R40
Customer Service & Refunds negative
A significant number of users report extremely poor customer service, particularly when trying to cancel subscriptions or get refunds. Many claim they were charged even after canceling, or that their refund requests were ignored, leading to accusations of scamming. This contradicts any implied guarantee of satisfaction.R18R46R56R89
Workout Effectiveness positive
Despite app issues, many users praise the actual workout programs, finding them effective for achieving fitness goals like weight loss, muscle gain, and increased stamina. They appreciate the clear instructions, superset structure, and intensity, with some being long-term returning users.R1R2R3R6
Program Customization & Variety mixed
While some find the programs adaptable, others desire more personalization, especially for beginners, older users, or those with physical limitations. There are requests for alternative exercises, more variety in routines (especially for home workouts), and better integration of dietary needs like vegan options. The lack of in-app tracking for reps/sets also limits customization.R7R13R49R54

Who it's for

V Shred is for individuals serious about weight loss or muscle gain who are willing to follow structured workout routines and meal plans R2R26. It's suitable for those who appreciate clear, step-by-step exercise instructions and videos R14R33. It may be less suitable for beginners, those with physical limitations needing extensive modifications, or users who expect a highly interactive and bug-free app experience without aggressive sales pitches R7R27.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew negative, with a significant portion focusing on app issues, aggressive sales, and poor customer service. While many positive reviews praise workout effectiveness, these are often from users early in their journey or long-term users who acknowledge app flaws. The high lifetime rating likely reflects a broader user base and potentially an earlier version of the app.

  1. [R2] 5/5 · US Straight to the point. Fantastic program!: I’ve tried a lot of different routines and nothing seemed to work for me. V Shred not only has already helped me lose weight and gain muscle, but it’s helping me figure out my personal metabolism and what’s blocking better/faster results. For anyone serious and willing to do what it takes to lose weight or build muscle, this is the workout program for you
  2. [R8] 5/5 · US Vshred: It’s hard work, but the results start to show within days!
  3. [R16] 5/5 · US 90 days to Ripped: I love the superset and time under tension aspects of this program. I have limited time to workout. This concept really works! Even on my 62 year old body!!
  4. [R26] 5/5 · US Top notch program: So here’s the BLUF: VSHRED works if you work. The program is so effective and results are guaranteed. I’m currently doing FLE again and Vince really took him time to create a world class program. I’m a 46 year old female for reference so your aren’t too old to start something new. So refreshing to have a program that actually lives up to the hype!
  5. [R3] 5/5 · US Love it: I’ve restarted this workout at least 10 times since purchasing it 5 years ago! Unfortunately I get in my own way or medical emergencies get in the way of me ever finishing it HOWEVER I’m always a better me when I get back on it and stick with it! I’m hoping this time is the charm and I’ll only restart it when I’m fully completed! Either way I recommend this to anyone and everyone it’s so
  6. [R14] 5/5 · US First day.: Love the step by step instructions. I case you don’t know something.
  7. [R33] 5/5 · US Day 01: Much thanks for the easy to follow instructions and videos. I'm already sore for tomorrow! I really enjoyed the last set of each cycle. Amazing how little weights can move mountains!
  8. [R34] 5/5 · US The format works for me: I like how each day has every exercise listed, written descriptions explaining, and the video. Workout is clear to me. Love the variety.
  9. [R35] 5/5 · US To Get Started: I worked out a lot in high school and college and since have followed a few apps and video workouts. It’s more than just workouts, and the first thing to do is to get your food right. But the workouts are easy to follow. You need to pick whether you’re gonna workout at home or in a gym. Hard to go back and forth it seems. Good short videos to explain exercises. You need to know you
  10. [R44] 5/5 · US Love it: I have had this app and program for years now. I love the at home follow along workouts for the fat loss program. I used to be able to airplay the workout onto my living room TV, but for some reason that option is no longer available. I would really love to have that option back. I would also love to have some at home follow along workouts and equipment list for the big arms program. Othe
  11. [R50] 5/5 · US Just getting started: I really enjoyed my first day with VShred’s at home program. I already knew all of the exercises, and just time to myself to make sure that I wasn’t doing too much on my first day. So far so good looking forward to tomorrow’s workout! 🏋️‍♂️
  12. [R12] 4/5 · US 90 day workout plan: 90D WO plan is great so far, would recommend adding in stretches. I haven’t quite got to the meal prep and plan.
  13. [R19] 5/5 · US V shred: I have only been on this venture for 4 days now and I really like what I am dealing with. Vince couldn’t be anymore informative on the facts of weight loss and fitness and let just put great health in general. I am loving the carb cycling program and my fiancée is also loving it because me helping myself also helps her in a big way. I tried this out because I wanted to loose weight and ge
  14. [R21] 4/5 · US Great recipes: Love the meals on here but been trying to play the workout videos for the last few days and no success
  15. [R55] 3/5 · US Appreciate the app but there’s a learning curve: Overall, I truly appreciate the 90 day plan geared towards women. Not only is there a sample diet plan to follow, but he also provides the equation that is standardly used to determine caloric intake. The workout plan is also simple to follow, and it is designed to have you working out around an hour with rest days. I’m on day 2 and have had just en
  16. [R5] 1/5 · US Better companies out there: Asked what they sell and told me they were a fitness company. So I restated the question a different way, “how do you help people without forcing supplements or removal of food groups and fasting?” Answer: “We are a fitness company and sometimes we give supplements and sometimes we tell you to fast so you can get down to your desired weight.” I ended the call.
  17. [R15] 3/5 · US Be ready to get spammed: The workout piece is great, you get a daily program to follow and helpful 1-2minute videos on how to do the exercise. But if you pay for the program you will get multiple emails a day with “helpful” tips, that won’t actually have the tip unless you “Just click the link below” to learn more…it takes you to a 40-50 minute video which ultimately is just an ad for their suppl
  18. [R27] 2/5 · US Stop Trying to Upsell Me!: My God, man. You already have me as a customer. Stop with the non stop sales pitches. It is such a turnoff and really just makes me regret buying your workout.
  19. [R37] 1/5 · US Limited information: Not what I expected. Spent $60 to signed up for a metabolism profile and didn’t get any information other than the advisor saying that it was flat lined and that there are supplements they sell to speed up your metabolism. Unless you pay a lot for a coach trainer or pay for supplement products that they constantly try to sell you on, you basically are on your own. They give y
  20. [R17] 3/5 · US Clunky: App is very clunky. I expected it to be more interactive, reminding you what workout to do and what to eat each day. Often buttons don’t work. Workouts look good and only done a couple of times but I am sure they work so that will be worth it. But app and UX could use some development.
  21. [R28] 2/5 · US App: App does not let you switch from instructions to work out without having to start over. Kind of a pain.
  22. [R69] 1/5 · US Videos not working on IPad: The program is great and the App WAS great at one time. But the videos no longer work on the IPad and support advised they know and they are working on it but no ETA to resolution. As of this writing its been over a month.
  23. [R83] 3/5 · US Videos won’t load: I’ve been doing this for a while now and suddenly the videos won’t load. Do I need to update the app? Thanks
  24. [R18] 1/5 · US STAY AWAY!: I canceled my subscription on July 2021 by email. They confirmed the cancellation and are still charging me to this day. It’s a scam!! Impossible to cancel.
  25. [R105] 1/5 · GB They keep charging you without letting you know: Terrible app. The worst I have ever used. Avoid at all costs! They charge you while you have cancelled and they claim that they have “never”‘received the cancellation. What was I supposed to do?? Have cancelled the subscription!!!!
  26. [R113] 1/5 · GB 0 of 5 from me.: I didn’t receive my password for the app. I then emailed customer support several times and didn’t receive a response. I ended up having to ask for refund .
  27. [R155] 1/5 · GB Refund requested but no response: I’d like a refund under your guaranteed 30 day refund policy as I don’t feel the programme is suitable for me. I’ve emailed but I’m getting no response which is both stressful and unreasonable.
  28. [R40] 2/5 · US No tracking: While the workouts are good, the app does not keep track of which day you are on, or the workouts completed. Simply not user friendly for tracking. It’s just videos.
  29. [R132] 3/5 · GB No workout logs. Home workout issues: Love the workouts and the supersets. Disappointed that I am unable to log reps and sets. If I chose to restart the program I should be able to challenge myself by looking at my previous workout and up the reps/sets Also some workouts require gym machines. Would be helpful to have alternative home workout versions for those of us that can’t get to a gym.
  30. [R239] 3/5 · CA App review: The workouts are good but there is room for improvement with the app. It would be great if you could write down how many reps and sets you actually did, to see how you and improved and not need to use a separate app or paper to write it down. I also can’t read all the steps that are written out when you click on the video tutorial.
  31. [R264] 3/5 · CA Good, but needs a log section, and exercise swap out: Liking the app so far, but would love to log the weights and reps I’m doing, and have the option to swap out exercises that work same muscle group.
  32. [R13] 3/5 · US -: I’m disappointed that in home workouts or gym workout it’s only 5 repeated workouts for every week. These work outs are easy to find. It’s the creativity and variety in exercise that I needed
  33. [R210] 3/5 · CA Gym Workouts: Love the calendar of work outs but just wish it had more variety of exercises. I feel like I’m always repeating the same gym workouts under the female fat loss extreme. The VShred calendar doesn’t even have options besides full body and cardio.
  34. [R54] 3/5 · US In home dumbbells: Is there a reason there aren’t more simple exercises w dumbbell or kettlebells at the home
  35. [R7] 3/5 · US Overall Experience: My first day and it was an excellent workout. My issue is you asked a question about what issues you have. My response was both of my knees need to be replaced. How do you expect me to do the HTT at the end of I can nearly walk? Also I used the chat to ask if I can substitute something for the dumbbell incline press like a machine, and the response was to join the masters class
  36. [R66] 2/5 · US My First Time With V-Shred: I could not complete all the sets, but I did burnouts as I’m new to this program. I’m sure overtime I will be able to complete all sets but it was difficult for me so I’m giving this two stars. There should be a beginner program stepping up to intermediate to advance, but I’ll stay with it.
  37. [R78] 3/5 · US Too old?: I have not exercised, flu exercise that is, in many years. One or two of these exercises, I can’t even do one rep. I am having trouble adapting what I can do. Is there an easier way to build up?
  38. [R301] 3/5 · CA Wall walk: Very difficult for beginners i was unable to perform May i suggest that alternative exercise be provided for those who may not be able to perform that specific exercise
  39. [R38] 1/5 · US Makes iPhone 15 battery HOT: This app either has malware or so poorly designed that it burns up your battery. So disappointed and dissatisfied.
  40. [R46] 1/5 · US It’s a scam: The app is not personalized and the videos are not the best to follow. They tell you have whatever days for trial money back, guaranteed, but it’s all a lie. They get you to pay a one time fee and apparently the trail is only on subscription. So what was the whole point to subscribe in the beginning???!!
  41. [R56] 1/5 · US Fraud charges after I cancelled: Kept getting charged even after cancelling, getting a refund and a confirm that my subscription has ended.
  42. [R89] 1/5 · US Bad: I payed 140 dollars for it and didn’t get nothing I payed for
  43. [R1] 5/5 · US Great Ab workout: 👌
  44. [R6] 4/5 · US 506: First day so I comment on totality of workout yet. First workout was very productive and cardio impacted. Still learning proper technique to order to get the most out of the exercises. So far great!
  45. [R49] 4/5 · US Lunges……. That was supposed to be three stars: I am 64 years old, 5 foot 7 inch height, 138 lbs When I started this program @ one and a half years ago I truly believe your day 1 work out with all those lunges were entirely too difficult for anyone who has not done that exercise before. I hurt my right thigh, fairly good, now that I don’t do lunges I am able to cope with the occasional pai
  46. [R102] 1/5 · GB Rip off!: After many, many, many emails each day, I was pressured to take on a very expensive “customised” 6-month plan that would be the ONLY way to help me and when I tried to cancel it shortly after, a reply was delayed until after they claimed to have “fully” supplied the service. Don’t do this!! It’s also very US-centric and won’t ship any of the “miracle” supplements outside of US/Canada.
  47. [R111] 1/5 · GB big problem: your video just showed up on youtube. i grew up surrounded by ways to loose wait. we have tried them all but ur information was brilliant put across. the info was useful but even the discounted price is far to much for me to pay. also you didn’t seem to no if your mum “was or is “ at one point alive by the way u spoke .
  48. [R112] 1/5 · GB Don’t do it: I downloaded the Vshred app quite a while ago and found some of the free guidance videos quite helpful. However, last week I went on again to look something up and soon after saw that I’d been charged almost £100 by Vshred. There were no notifications in the app and no warnings that the content I was looking at would be chargeable. When I contacted the Vshred team via the app all I go
  49. [R119] 1/5 · GB Do not use: I was convinced by Vince so decided to buy the bundle at £50 as through the 1hr video that I watched it was clear the bundle would help you to plan what you eat and exercise for the 90 days. I paid my subscription and downloaded the app. The app is 100% not user friendly, too much writing everywhere and not in user friendly tabs. But the worst bit was having paid I still had to pay ext
