Nike Training Club
Nike Training Club offers a wide variety of free, high-quality guided workouts for all fitness levels, but recent updates have introduced significant technical issues, including login problems, app crashes, and poor iPad optimization, frustrating many long-time users.
Nike Training Club (NTC) is praised for its extensive library of free, coach-led workouts, catering to beginners and advanced users alike with options for various equipment levels and workout types. However, recent reviews highlight a concerning decline in app stability and usability, with frequent login failures, crashes, and a lack of proper iPad support. While the content remains highly valued, the technical issues are significantly impacting user experience.

Latest update · v6.72.1
What the developer says changed (the verdict above weighs this against what reviewers report):
Bug fixes and enhancements.
Recurring themes
Who it's for
This app is for individuals seeking a wide variety of free, guided workouts, from beginner to advanced, across different disciplines like yoga, strength, and endurance, with or without equipment R5R14R23. It is particularly good for those who travel and need flexible workout options, assuming the offline download feature is restored . It is NOT for users who require a stable, bug-free experience, reliable login, or full iPad optimization R12R25R60R90. Users who prefer a simple list of exercises over video-led classes may also be disappointed by recent changes R121.
Evidence note: The recent reviews skew significantly negative, with a 0.372 recent-negative ratio, which contrasts sharply with the lifetime 4.85 rating. This indicates a recent decline in user satisfaction, likely due to the technical issues and feature changes highlighted in the cons. The developer's notes mention 'bug fixes and enhancements,' but recent reviews directly contradict this, reporting numerous new or unresolved bugs, particularly around login and app stability.

Built only from these 120 real reviews (foreign ones translated). Superscripts jump to the quote here. Apple has no per-review links, so [ref] opens that app's reviews on the App Store.
- [R1] The best: The best health/workout app by far!
- [R2] Great workouts: … you can do a short one or a long one! Very effective- I love doing them at the park on my mat👌🏾🩷
- [R3] actually best workout app: favorite workout app bc everything is free and good
- [R5] Perfect for everyone: It’s hard to not mention right away that this is a free app because that’s not the coolest thing about this app. If you are not in shape, but trying to get there, this is for you. There are a variety of workouts clearly labeled from beginner to expert and if you just need some momentum… Pick a 5 to 10 minute workout. You don’t have to commit your whole afternoon, just a few m
- [R23] 10/10 would recommend: After only doing 2 workouts on the app, I’ve got to say that this might be the best workout app on the App Store. Not only is it easy to follow with video instructions for each workout, but the app also includes workouts that accommodates you on your needs and resources. New to working out? The app has specific workouts made for beginners, as well as workouts for more experi
- [R38] The best training app: Amazed by the quality of the workouts. KG is my girl. My husband thinks he’s athletic until he does one of her workouts.
- [R40] Great trainers: Really enjoying yoga classes. Good variety and great trainers.
- [R11] Good, and could be great!: Great workouts especially the class format. Love the body weight workouts that do not require any equipment. Please improve app flow and usability and get rid of the request for notifications pop up after every workout.
- [R48] Love it: I only used it once so far but first of all I was impressed with the fact that it’s free! Also I was not expecting to be able to add my own music while playing the videos, great feature! Can’t wait to use it again today .
- [R12] Won’t work: Wanted to try this app again after a while, but there is no way to get the videos for the workouts to play essentially making the app completely useless. Also there is virtually no app support. So looks like I will continue to not use this app.
- [R19] What the heck: So I put every one of my emails in and it says “not eligible for registration” and every one that I tried it ether says this or you have to pay. BAD
- [R31] Verification.: I downloaded this app, was signing in, but at the verification part, where I put in my email, it didn’t work, it didn’t send me my code! I tried on my iPad and my phone, but it didn’t send. Please fix this.
- [R34] unfair: can’t even use the app! i put the wrong year in and i can’t even retry it
- [R25] Need a fix asap!: I have done everything to watch a workout video play fully. From disconnecting my beats, my Apple Watch, and even turning off Bluetooth. The videos will freeze and I have to get out the app and back in to start again. It’s getting so irritating. My update is current so I have no idea what it is.
- [R122] Amazing content but lots of bugs: I love all of the workouts especially the guided runs and yoga routines, however I get logged out constantly and the app will just crash and not record a workout every now and then. I tolerate the bugs because the content is top tier in my opinion
- [R141] Drops workout mid workout: I’ve been using this app for years, but for the last 3 months the app conks out mid workout and I lose my data. Please update the app!
- [R174] Bugs bunny: Too many bugs. App doesn’t load
- [R9] Has no landscape format on IPad, Languages switch incorrectly: It used to display landscape on IPad but not anymore with the app updates. Also Unable to switch the Audio Track to English when the original audio is Spanish. The Audio track shows as ‘English’ when the video is playing in Spanish and no options to switch.
- [R29] Why no full screen on iPad?: It’s time
- [R52] Doesn’t Work in Landscape on iPad: As the title says, the app doesn’t work in landscape mode on the iPad. It worked before, now it doesn’t. I have a whole screen in landscape and it is just using a small part of the screen in portrait mode. Absurd and unusable.
- [R90] iPad format: I hate the iPad format. The video doesn’t just play through like on my phone and it’s not widescreen.
- [R6] Better basics: Bring back better basics!!!
- [R8] No longer travel friendly, no offline options: In previous versions you were able to download workouts, if you are traveling or if you don’t have WiFi at your gym, or hotel (because many hotels have a daily surcharge for the use of WiFi) it was amazing to be able to still use the workouts offline. Please Nike bring it back.
- [R68] PLEASE BRING THE OLD FORMAT BACK: I don’t like the videos and I’m sure a lot of people would agree. Please make it an option Nike. Please. We know the app is free but I’m willing to pay for the old format. I had so much fun but now I simply can’t use it cause I find it annoying to work out with people around/talking too much.
- [R121] Unnecessary changes.: Most of the workouts are just videos…. What happened to the list? Why can I not see what workouts in the plan before hand?? And out of 600 workouts, only 100 I can see the workouts and go at my own pace. The filter back for “strength, endurance, mobility” should have NOT been removed. Going backwards. Some changes aren’t always necessary.
- [R300] Really good app but broken right now: Used this app for a few years now and the content is amazing, unfortunately the last month or so the videos won't play most of the time, it is the same for my partner and seemingly some other people online. Any chance of an update to fix this?
- [R30] Suggestion: I like the app but don’t like the current way workouts are grouped. Would suggest that a filter is added by “target areas” such as glutes, legs, core, arms, back, etc
- [R45] More Vance!!!: Love Alex Silver-Fagan and Vance Vlasic’s flows!!! More Vance, please!!!! I also wish it was an option to filter workouts by type, as in Mobility, Core Strength, Balance, etc.
- [R107] Functionality could be better: Great app specially since the features are free! Please allow users to filter by muscle groups or areas to target. This would allow users to better identify workouts for them.
- [R144] Great content in a very disordered user interface: The content is nice but it needs a logical order. The interface should be redesigned. It is easy to get lost!
- [R155] Trainers too chatty: The app is nice but some of the trainers chitchat way too much during exercises. It makes it hard to focus.
- [R163] It’s hard: Only one thing to recognize, she or whoever is leading the workout is talking way too fast I don’t even know what to do. Other than that, it’s great!
- [R180] Bothering: The coaches speak too much all the training time Please be quiet just for a minute baby You're beveling my brain!!!
- [R319] Good workouts but annoying videos: Workouts and good and well explained but the videos are incredibly annoying. A bit of silence is fine in a video, we don’t need a “yes team” every five seconds.
- [R64] Sound: For the love of all things holy! Why do you have to turn down my music when I start a workout! Fix it!
- [R140] Toggle for instructor voice: Wish I could toggle off the instructor’s voice so I could just have the timing beeps and my music playing.
- [R217] Music is too low, workout is too high: Y’all need to figure out a way to seperate controls for background media and the workiut cause the media volume gets annoyingly low when the workout starts and let me tell you, thats not motivating me to do the workout using this app
- [R60] Persistent Login Issues & Lost Progress: I’m frequently logged out of my account, which is frustrating on its own, but the bigger issue is that when I log back in, the app often loses my progress in the program I was following. This makes it difficult to stay consistent and track workouts over time. I really enjoy using Nike Training Club when it works, but these recurring login and progress-sync
- [R74] Not syncing with my phone: My workouts are not syncing with my phone. They’re a day late
- [R187] Logs out and loses the program: I enjoy the workout programs. But the app logs out and the program disappears. It’s annoying.
- [R14] How is this free?!: I recently got back into working out and didn’t want to pay for something in case I didn’t stick to it. NTC makes it so easy. They have programs you can follow and coach led classes. You can do little to no equipment or a full gym. They have yoga, endurance, and strength. NTC also has levels of experience making classes easy to chose and filter to pick what’s best for you. Love
- [R24] Its free so its good for me: Yall go ahead and hit that download button
- [R334] Removed features: Removed the feature to save workouts for offline use so makes the app useless abroad without wi-fi or any internet connection. And has now removed Apple Watch support for Series 3. Used this app for years now. Hopefully at least the download for offline workouts get reintroduced.
- [R156] Love the app, but: I love this app and all the workouts. However, this app is not optimized for iPads. The resolution is fixed which cause huge black bars when in landscape mode. And the video window is tiny in both landscape and in portrait. Please add support for tablets. Thank you!
- [R100] Cant sign in: I cant sign in anymore, I’ve deleted and reinstalled it. When the app tries to access the web for the sign in, it doesn’t load so you cant log in… before this issue the app was a 10/10 now its useless!! Please fix this
