  1. [R5] Fitness Coach 5/5 · US 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
  2. [R9] Fitness Coach 3/5 · US 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.
  3. [R12] Fitness Coach 3/5 · US 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
  4. [R19] Fitness Coach 2/5 · US 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.
  5. [R4] Fitness Coach 2/5 · US This makes me frustrated!: Can someone tell me how to carry on after the question that says “How do you consider your current fitness level?” Because it keeps on bringing me to pictures of random users and I can’t get off the screen :( I was looking forward to using this app
  6. [R8] Fitness Coach 4/5 · US Fitness Coach Pros & Cons From My Personal Experience!: Overall this workout app is well designed and is perfect for an experienced and already been working out prior to this app type of person. The daily workout’s recommended for your wants and needs already start at a level of flexibility some people (including me) are not at yet. This is not something I was expecting or thought I would have had
  7. [R14] Fitness Coach 5/5 · US Buena marca: Qué bonito que es de video
  8. [R15] Fitness Coach 3/5 · US 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
  9. [R49] Fitness Coach 1/5 · US Inaudible: Audio Instructions went away. Fix it
  10. [R51] Fitness Coach 3/5 · US .: A lot of features but step counting doesn't work
  11. [R60] Fitness Coach 3/5 · US 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
  12. [R1] Fitness Coach 1/5 · US 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.
  13. [R16] Fitness Coach 1/5 · US 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?!
  14. [R24] Fitness Coach 3/5 · US makes you pay to do your plan: I got to use this app for one day, because it wanted me to have a subscription, even though when I downloaded the app it said my plan would be free.
  15. [R31] Fitness Coach 1/5 · US Money: Charging me money even after i cancel subscription.
  16. [R40] Fitness Coach 1/5 · US I was scammed: My money was taken and they’re refusing to refund me
  17. [R3] Fitness Coach 3/5 · US idrk: good app, just ALWAYS makes u pay for it.
  18. [R7] Fitness Coach 2/5 · US 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
  19. [R32] Fitness Coach 4/5 · US My rating: I dont like how we have to pay some people cant afford it $100 per year/ $5 a week otherwise app is amazing
  20. [R48] Fitness Coach 3/5 · US good fitness app but hard to cancel membership: 1. its very expensive, 5$ a week!! crazy 2. extremely hard to cancel 3. a gym is so much better and just research what workouts to do
  21. [R53] Fitness Coach 5/5 · US Expensive: Not free to use everyday. 5/week
  22. [R55] Fitness Coach 1/5 · US It’s very cheap looking app: The app is very cheaper made having WEEKLY payments, overpriced and the app in general just looks cheap
  23. [R79] JustFit 2/5 · US Charged without warning: If you decide to do the low cost trial., Be sure to put a reminder in your phone to cancel it. They charge you the renewal without any warning to give you a minute to go and cancel the subscription. For me, this app was a waste of money because I never even used it, and unlike the majority of apps where you either get something from the app itself or from Apple Pay telling
  24. [R81] JustFit 3/5 · US I’m old: There are things I can’t do because of injury. What do I do to adjust.
  25. [R97] JustFit 1/5 · US Waste of money beware: They ask you a couple of questions and then give you an exercise plan they want you to have. I am disabled and they gave me walk Pilates. I have been trying to contact them for three weeks and keep getting automatic responses. They took it upon themselves to cancel my subscription. I only wanted to have the la y workout plan done from bed because that’s something I can do.
  26. [R99] JustFit 3/5 · US Think twice: Not that thrilled with this app. I injured myself and wanted to switch to chair exercises for a couple of weeks. No option for that. Contact customer service and they were no help. Also when I signed up I wanted to do the fast fit game. Not offered. And despite my telling them I had a knee injury I keep getting kneeling exercises. This app needs to allow feedback on what is/isn’t work
