Fitness Coach
Fitness Coach by Luni offers effective workouts and tracking features, but its aggressive paywall and frequent app freezing issues significantly detract from its value, especially for those seeking a free or consistently reliable experience.
While many users praise Fitness Coach by Luni for its effective workouts, diverse options, and tracking capabilities, a significant number of recent reviews highlight a pervasive paywall that restricts access to most content after a very short free period or even day one. Additionally, frequent app freezing and crashing issues are widely reported, making a paid subscription unreliable and frustrating for many.
Free vs paid
The free tier initially allows users to track water consumption, steps, calories, and weight, and offers a variety of workout options, including some personalized ones and meal plans R6. However, many users report that after just one day or a few days, the app forces them to subscribe to premium to continue workouts or access core features R4R10R21R25. The paid tier, which can cost around $5 a week or up to $100 a year, unlocks full access to workout plans, challenges, and potentially more advanced features, though specific paid features are less detailed in reviews than complaints about the paywall R1R4R18R29.

Evidence note: The lifetime rating of 4.47 suggests a generally positive reception over time, but recent reviews are heavily skewed negative, primarily due to aggressive monetization practices and critical technical issues like app freezing. The positive reviews often focus on the effectiveness of workouts and tracking features, while negative reviews overwhelmingly highlight the paywall and bugs.

- [R4] Stop with the premium: I can't even do a workout without it asking for premium and that much every week is stupid. Stop using money so we can look better
- [R5] idrk: good app, just ALWAYS makes u pay for it.
- [R10] Decent for free: I mean if your looking for a free workout app that you don’t (have) to pay for, this is it. It’s just all the things that are actually good are way to expensive and you have to pay money. I’m a kid working out and it’s just not worth the extra money that I don’t have.
- [R21] Good But: The fitness coach app was good don’t get me wrong. The workouts were easy it was good at showing what to do but when I was going to do my second day to work out, it tried to force me to do a free trial in no matter what I tried to do to try to get out of it I couldn’t do my work out or do any of the other challenges without a thing popping up saying that I have to sign up for the free tr
- [R1] Scam: I tried this apps free trial and they charged me 14 dollars. I’m trying to get my money back but I’m unsure if I can. I personally wouldn’t recommend using.
- [R29] Total scam if you don’t want to pay: I found this app as an ad on SnapChat and was super excited. First it talks about your wait, age, and a few other things. Then it immediately asks for you to pay $5 either every week or month. Some people might not care, but all I wanted to be just a little fit for the summer! Is that too much to ask?!
- [R35] Canceling the trial: Please someone answer me fast, I didn’t know u had to pay for the trial and stuff but I didn’t want it and accidentally bought it. How do I cancel it??!!
- [R104] it’s terrible: i started working out with this app but it never mentioned abt a payment so you’re better of working out with youtube videos
- [R18] My rating: I dont like how we have to pay some people cant afford it $100 per year/ $5 a week otherwise app is amazing
- [R32] Expensive: Not free to use everyday. 5/week
- [R46] Money: Charging me money even after i cancel subscription.
- [R49] Would be good, but: I wish there was a free option on this app and I don’t see how to cancel the free trial
- [R19] It good: I have used it for one week now and I think it’s doing something but they use a lot of the same stuff so it can get boring after a while
- [R30] Ehh: Yes, you have to pay. But it gives you pretty much the same workout routine every week and it break down a lot. So there are some days when the app doesn’t even open or in the middle of your workout it just stops working.
- [R81] Good app, could use some expansion: I have been on a weight loss journey for a while, and found this app. It’s low in cost and has helped me lose weight. The only problem I have is that it asks me to choose what gym equipment I have. I currently have a 2 in one treadmill and bench press. I have not bought dumbbells yet, but every exercise included some things I don’t have. Even then I do feel that
- [R115] horrible: i dont wanna pay 4 dollars a week for an app that gives me workouts with dumbbells and jump ropes even though i specifically said i have no equipment, how am i supposed to get fit when those are the only workouts they give me? and i said no jumping and low impact which it wasnt AT ALL
- [R2] Losing weight: This app is helping and pushing me so much to lose weight and it’s only been a couple days but I already see it! If you wanna lose weight, you should get this app cause it is really cool!
- [R8] Amazing!: Meets all my expectations! I love this app, I feel great everyday after I finish my workout. I also use yoga coach and mental coach, they work great as well. Definitely recommend to anyone with self consciousness and generally want to feel better and get in shape!
- [R12] Brendalid Hernandez: I’m losing weight day by day it’s awesome. When I was in 3rd grade I was body shamed and bullied because of the way I looked. I was traumatized since I was a kid and now I’m insecure about my weight and this app helps me so much with my weight loss and feel a little better about myself. Hope people can give this a chance and see how much it could help them to whatever problem
- [R13] Great app: This is a really good app got a 6 pack in 60 days and had thunder thighs so so I was got buff
- [R6] For the time that I used it for free, this app was extremely good, highly recommend!: This app is awesome! I liked that I was able to track almost everything; from water consumption to steps, to calories intaken and burnt, to even weight tracking weight progress. I also liked that there are just so many different workout options on here, it's soo diverse! From the public to even personalized worko
- [R9] This was decent: I like all the workouts but the problem is that you have to do a plan to do lots of workouts
- [R15] Great app!: I think that this is a really great app because it tells you to drink water tracks it and also uses the Health app to help it when you want to stop it says stopping is not an option. I think that was very good because it really just helps and you can lose weight and do many more things and I like that when you’re on the out that you’re doing it silent and it shows you how to do it and
- [R20] Try this!: I have this downloaded on multiple devices and I have had this for a few years now. Let’s get realistic though, your not gonna get abs a month or two after using this and your not going to be the most buff person ever but this is a good beginning for that. This app gives you advice and motivation and honestly it’s just a lot of fun! This app can be used for muscle gain, relaxation, diet
- [R14] Suggestion: Great app! Amazing workouts, great meals. But just for the future have people put in what allergies they have so that you don’t suggest meals that they are allergic to. Just a suggestion!
- [R28] This is great but there’s one huge thing: I was in there to get a quick way to get fit for free and have ways of knowing what food to eat for it, but the thing is, I don’t have a lot of the ingredients to the foods for each day, I know that’s my problem but still. Once you get to like day six which if you skip a few days it just keeps going with the workout days, so then when you log in and it say
- [R47] Can’t add allergies to food log: Over all amazing app. One thing that HAS to be added is the ability to add allergies to the food portion so they don’t recommend things to you that you can’t eat. All my meals all have things I can’t eat so I’m not able to follow the recipes. Please add this feature. It would make it a 5 star app for sure.
- [R25] Ok: So it does not let you use it for free for a long time
- [R112] i cant even open the app: every time i try to open the app it closes, i’ve tried updating it, waiting for more of your updates, restarting my phone, restarting the app and everything and it doesn’t work, taking off my subscription
- [R138] Good workout but one glitch: This is a very good app with very good resources but the app freezes every time I close it and I have to delete and reinstall the app for it to unfreeze
- [R140] Totally Froze: I was going to start with the first exercise but the app froze and I can’t continue. I paid too and I feel like I kinda got scammed if I can’t cancel my subscription. Plz, plz fix this!
- [R62] I was scammed: My money was taken and they’re refusing to refund me
