FitOn Workouts & Fitness Plans

70
Value score / 100 Worth paying? Depends It depends

FitOn offers a wide variety of free workouts and motivating trainers, making it a good option for at-home fitness, but recent updates have introduced frustrating paywalls for features like TV casting and mandatory post-workout ratings.

FitOn provides a vast selection of free workouts with positive trainers, helping users achieve fitness goals and lose weight. However, recent changes have moved essential features like TV casting behind a paywall, leading to user frustration and questions about the value of the paid subscription.

Free vs paid

The free tier of FitOn offers a large variety of workout videos, diverse trainers, and some meal plans R6R10R34. Users have reported losing weight and feeling more confident using the free version R2R27R40. The paid 'Pro' subscription unlocks features like casting to a TV, connecting to smartwatches, and full access to meal plans and courses R13R19R36R48. However, some 'add-ons' and 'courses' within the Pro version still require additional payment, which is not always clearly marked R48R231. There are also complaints that the meal plans in the paid version become repetitive and glitchy R297.

Value complaints

  • Many users complain about essential features like screen mirroring or casting to a TV being locked behind the paid subscription, considering it an anti-pattern or unnecessary paywall for built-in device functions.R13R19R36R44
  • Some paid features, like 'courses' or certain programs, still require additional payment even with a Pro subscription, and this is not always clearly communicated.R48R231
  • Users report issues with auto-renewal without clear notification and difficulty canceling subscriptions or getting refunds.R14R69R85R409
  • There are complaints about constant 'upgrade to Pro' pop-ups and ads, even for free users, making the app feel less 'free' than advertised.R103R176R208R267
  • The paid meal plans are criticized for being repetitive, glitchy, and not offering enough variety or customization, making them not worth the cost.R75R297

Where it delivers

  • The app offers a wide variety of free workouts for all levels and types of exercise, including yoga, Pilates, strength training, and Tai Chi.R1R4R6R7
  • Many users have achieved significant weight loss and increased fitness using the app, even with the free version.R2R27R40R45
  • Trainers are consistently praised for being positive, motivating, and easy to follow.R3R4R16R22
  • The app offers flexibility for at-home workouts, fitting into busy schedules with options for short or long sessions.R4R15R27R30
  • Some users appreciate the affordability of the Pro subscription for the features it offers, especially when compared to other fitness apps.R15R16R143
  • The app provides student discounts (e.g., 6 months free Pro), which is seen as a great initiative.R10R61
Worth paying if

It is worth paying if you rely heavily on casting workouts to a TV and are willing to pay for this specific feature, despite recent issues reported by users R19. It might also be worth it if you find the free content insufficient and are confident the paid features, such as full meal plans and smartwatch integration, will meet your needs, though some users find the meal plans disappointing R80R297.

Skip / stay free if

You should skip paying if you are frustrated by features like TV casting being paywalled, as many users express this as a reason to cancel or not subscribe R13R19R36R44. Also, if you expect comprehensive meal plans that are regularly updated and glitch-free, you might be disappointed with the paid version R75R297. If you experience connectivity issues with smartwatches or casting, paying might not resolve these problems R19R80.

Evidence note: The reviews show a strong positive sentiment towards the variety and quality of free workouts and trainers, but a significant negative shift regarding recent paywall implementations and technical issues. Recent reviews are heavily skewed towards these negative points, impacting the overall perception of value for money, especially for the paid tier.

  1. [R13] 2/5 · US Screen mirroring: Love this app but hate that it literally blocks you from screen mirroring to your tv :( I can’t afford internet right now let alone a premium subscription so it just sucks that I have to do it off of my tiny phone screen
  2. [R19] 1/5 · US Lost Chromecast Functionality: Loved this app but it no longer works with Chromecast on iPhone (they switched casting function from AirPlay to Screen Mirroring). Watching on a tiny iPhone is NOT worth paying for…. Contacted support who insisted it was my devices or network, despite Chromecast working perfectly fine with literally every other app I own besides this one (make that make sense?). D
  3. [R36] 2/5 · US Use to be Good: Now it’s trash, pay for everything. I was using the app way before they started charging. Now charge to your own music, charge to mirror. I have never paid to use this features until I came to use it. I will no longer tell people to download this app or use this app.
  4. [R44] 1/5 · US Bring back casting to TV: This app is useless on a tiny phone screen. Please bring back casting for ALL levels of accounts. I used to use this daily but now I’m ready to delete my account and the app. 😡
  5. [R48] 2/5 · US Anti Pattern Marketing: So far I have enjoyed the workouts, and even went ‘pro’ thinking it would be a good value. I get really frustrated that the ‘add ons’ are so prominently promoted- but not clearly marked as items that cost extra. There are programs included in pro and programs that have to be paid for. Workouts are free/included but courses are paid. Most of the time you don’t know if you ha
  6. [R231] 3/5 · GB I’ve emailed but had no response: I have signed up as a pro member but it seems like you still need to pay for the “Courses” - is this right ? I have emailed support but I haven’t had a response !
  7. [R14] 4/5 · US Auto renew hustle: I joined using Apple Pay. Only after I paid the subscription fee was I informed it auto renews. I did not approve this. I tried to contact the company. There is only a lame AI bot that informs you you can only cancel the paid subscription (no refund) to remove auto renew
  8. [R69] 1/5 · US No renewal notice: Edit: I answered their response as requested, and they never followed up with me. Will never recommend. Beware, if you subscribe via their website to get a deal, they will charge you without sending a reminder email first. I also couldn’t get into my account because the password reset emails never showed up. And when I emailed support about being charged with no reminder ema
  9. [R85] 1/5 · US Unable to get customer service: Trying to cancel membership at Y, which I cancelled with the Y, FitOn is still paying.
  10. [R409] 3/5 · CA How can I cancel my subscription?: The app version doesn’t have the option to cancel.
  11. [R103] 2/5 · US Free version is worthless: Unless you plan on upgrading to Pro, I do not recommend this app. I was bombarded with emails telling me to upgrade. I clicked on a link for recipes, it showed me an add for Pro and then showed me the recipes are only available with Pro. It’s like a constant ad to upgrade.
  12. [R176] 3/5 · GB Not bad, but not free.: Advertised as a ‘free’ app, except it isn’t, so this needs to be made much clearer. Also, the constant emails after signing up (and unsubscribing) are a real nuisance - have marked them as spam now. Having said that, the free content that you do get is pretty good and the home workouts are useful if, like me, you don’t have a gym nearby.
  13. [R208] 3/5 · GB Beginner - keep it free IGNORE the ProAds: Seems a useful site if you navigate away from clicking on the constant ads to go Pro for premium rate ( although the current discount is fair) For Beginners to fitness routines you need to go slow, find the work outs that suit you and that you’ll keep up long-term. Keep it simple to get yourself going, warmup and warm down properly so you don’t hurt your
  14. [R267] 3/5 · GB Stop. Nagging.: The exercises are great and the app works fine, but you guys can’t say your exercises are free because you want everyone to able to get fit then have a pop-up every second screen asking to upgrade to Pro or to buy a trainer’s course. Knock it off.
  15. [R75] 1/5 · US Worthless Meal Plan: The meal plan feature is terrible on this app. The recipes are good, but there is not feature to change the settings to repeat meals or swap items. Every meal on everyday is different. Who has the time or money to eat that way?!? It also makes the shopping cart feature useless with over 100 items, it would lead to so much food waste to use this meal plan. Also just the genera
  16. [R297] 3/5 · GB Paid version is NOT worth it.: I reviewed in August and this is now a follow up. I can honestly say do not pay for this app. I’m beyond disappointed with the meal plans. They become boring and repetitive, they constantly have glitches where you have to completely reset the plan so lose everything. It’s fine for the first couple of weeks then you are STUCK with the same recipes to flick through an
  17. [R1] 4/5 · US .: Good workouts and lots of variety, only complaint is that I wish there was a teenage group
  18. [R4] 5/5 · US LOVE this App!!: I’m 68 not an athlete but have been active all my life and in/out of strength training, yoga and cardio. At this point I needed to get back to strength and yoga.

It’s flexible, it’s motivating, it knows my age and makes great
  19. [R6] 5/5 · US Love: OK, so I have tried a lot of fitness apps Pilates so on, but this one has been on my phone for ever as I keep going back to it because it gives me a variety I can pick what I want a lot of free yes they I haven't tried them yet so I can't tell you how they are, but the workouts the train the variety 100% will always be on my phone no matter what I do
  20. [R7] 3/5 · US FitOn General: Finally, a Pilates app where I can work on mobility, strength, and core without all the pushy premium subscriptions. It has a lot of a great selection of workouts for everyone and levels In the future, I would like to see pilates that focuses on hip mobility, strength, and core, and includes basic injury recovery after heavy lifting and tension
  21. [R2] 5/5 · US Love it: I love fiton it helped me lose weight and feel more confident in myself it was hard finding the right app to lose weight and now I found one this is an amazing app
  22. [R27] 5/5 · US Thank you FitOn!: Thank you FitOn, for having free great workouts! I’ve lost 50 lbs with the help of your workouts. I am able to do them consistently because they’re short and they work! I am continuing on my weight loss journey and I am getting closer to my goal weight and I’m feeling and looking better than I ever have. And everyone reading this consistently beats motivation! Discipline and cons
  23. [R40] 5/5 · US Helped Me Lose 40 Pounds: I absolute love this app. I started with 5 min work outs, then 10, then jumped to 20 and I have managed to lose over 40 pounds with the help of this app. I love the instructors and all the options it offers. It’s also awesome that it gives you calories burnt (even if it’s just a rough estimate without a heart rate tracker) it’s just overall and amazing app.
  24. [R45] 5/5 · US FitOn review: In my opinion this is the best workout app I have ever used! I love how some of the courses are free and there is lots of workouts you can do. I have been using this app for about 5 days now and I have already lost 5 pounds so over all I would give this app 5 stars!
  25. [R3] 5/5 · US Love the positivity!!❤️❤️❤️: Since I have come to FitOn, I have noticed how positive the community of trainers are! I specifically love to listen and train with Jeanette Jenkins! She’s super sweet and fun to listen to! The one complaint I have is that none of the food plans are free. At least have a couple food options free. Other than that it’s great! Keep it up!!!
  26. [R16] 5/5 · US FitOn Rules: FitOn is affordable, has a galaxy of workouts for all levels available, the trainers are stellar, and I cannot praise it enough.
  27. [R22] 5/5 · US I Love this app: I downloaded the free version about 5 years ago when an ear infection was keeping me out of the pool (my fave way to exercise). I am addicted and do at least 4 workouts a week - usually more like 12. The trainers are great and I like the daily affirmations that come up when opening the app. I also love the positive spin trainers put on exercise- emphasizing how we should be grat
  28. [R15] 5/5 · US THE BEST WORKOUT APP EVER!: My favorite workout app ever!!! The best for busy moms who need to get in a workout. Whether it's 5 minutes or 45 minutes, this app has it all! Also the cost for pro is so affordable for everyone! I would recommend this to anyone!!
  29. [R30] 5/5 · US Great Workout App: I’ve been using the FitOn app for almost 9 years. It fits into my life style and I love the variety that it offers. And as I age, the exercise programs and trainers suggested are to my age and I admit, I appreciate that. One thing I wanted to mention is that with the muscle and bone strengthening, balance exercises have been extremely helpful. My recent bone density exam sho
  30. [R143] 3/5 · US Thee Absolute Best!!!!: The workouts are great. The membership is affordable and for all that you can achieve out of this app is a super great deal. I have become so physically fit at my own pace and look forward to logging on to workout or even stretch and meditate. I highly recommend this app to everyone who says “They want to get fit to loose weight” because it offers so much more. Food plans a
  31. [R10] 5/5 · US Actually good fitness app developers seem: The free features are great themselves; free meal plans and phone workout videos. But they also offer 6 months free pro to students which is really great for encouraging healthy habits at this stage of life. I was really excited I could get the workout videos on my tv. The app developers seem like they really care about actually making a good app instead
  32. [R61] 5/5 · US I love this app!: I rarely rate apps on here but I felt like this one deserved 5 stars. I’m a recent college graduate that put on a couple of pounds and am trying to get back into a healthy, active lifestyle. That being said, this app offers college students 6 months free PRO and I love it! The videos are great and encouraging, as they are real instructors who provide many exercises to target diff
  33. [R34] 5/5 · US Highly recommend: I personally love the variety of workouts and the ease of using the app to search for specific workouts to fit the length of time and what style of exercise you are after. There’s something for everyone. It’s educational too with informative articles to help you reach your goals. You have to pay for the meal plan and recipe portion. You get a lot for free!
  34. [R60] 5/5 · US so amazing but…: i absolutely love this app but i would would at least make some meals not pro
  35. [R78] 1/5 · US Seems okay: Honestly seems like an okay app, and I still plan on testing free features. I was considering doing the subscription, until my one star reasoning came through. The fact that you have to be a premium member (and mind you this is not a one time payment) to cast to a TV (a function already built into the devices) is stupid. As well as needing the premium to connect / sync certain smart wa
  36. [R80] 3/5 · US Needs Improvements: This is definitely an awesome fitness app to use. It won’t break your bank to pay for the Pro version, and it seems to connect to most smartwatches and heart rate monitors with ease. However, it does tend to disconnect from those devices often, and it’s impossible to reconnect your device to it once it disconnects unless it does it automatically. In addition, if you stop a work
  37. [R100] 1/5 · US Wont connect: Wont connect with my Garmin Forerunner 55
  38. [R296] 3/5 · GB FitBit issues: I started using this app a few months ago & the workouts are great - absolutely no complaints there. I am, however, pretty frustrated to discover that after checking the information on the FitOn app to find out which FitBits are currently compatible (Ionic, Versa, Versa 2 or Versa Lite) I bought a Versa 2 instead of the Versa 3 I’d been looking at. When I tried to download the Fit
  39. [R5] 1/5 · US Stop making me rate every single workout!!!: It’s infuriating!!! I’m just trying to pick my next video but instead you make me click like ten buttons to get out of the video I just finished!!!
  40. [R21] 3/5 · US Glitch only reason for 3stars: So I’ve been using this for a couple years. Helps me just move in the morning. I only connect w two of the trainers. All was fine until about five or six months ago. Suddenly after every workout it is mandatory to rate that workout you just did. Even if you’ve done it dozens and dozens of times. It was never mandatory before but now you have to exit the app to get
