  1. [R3] Fitness Coach 3/5 · US idrk: good app, just ALWAYS makes u pay for it.
  2. [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
  3. [R21] Fitness Coach 3/5 · US Not Worth it: I would give it a way higher rating but I didn’t because you have to pay for something just get in shape and the app looks amazing but only if you didn’t have to pay or you could choose not to because there are people trying to get in shape and you have to pay just to do so. I really trusted this app but like others you have to pay in order to get fit. That is just sad
  4. [R62] Workout for Women 5/5 · US Great for beginners: I’ve been off and on with the Sweat app but it’s a lot of dedication from the start. Workout for Women from home and gym it’s great for beginners and it’s not killer or time consuming. I can fit 20 min or less anytime in between my schedule. Works out aren’t out of this world and one can sustain it for beginners. Def recommend!
  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. [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
  7. [R39] Fitness Coach 3/5 · US Hi: Everytime I try to do it it always tells me to “pay” when I don’t want to
  8. [R71] Workout for Women 5/5 · US So great: Short workouts perfect for anyday
  9. [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.
  10. [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
  11. [R63] Workout for Women 3/5 · US Cannot access paid subscription: I was logged out of the app recently and cannot log back in to access my workouts and benefits of my paid subscription
  12. [R67] Workout for Women 1/5 · US Subscription: Cancelled subscription and still got charged for it. No spot in app to manage no place on website either. Went to contact support and every time I hit submit it would say the request couldn’t be submitted because it’s spam. Don’t get app it not free it will make you sign up for a subscription and not let you cancel it.
  13. [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.
  14. [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
  15. [R52] Fitness Coach 1/5 · US Would not recommend: Makes you pay every step of the way not worth the price was of Money
  16. [R65] Workout for Women 4/5 · US Good, but...: I LOVE this app. Great workouts for all ages. But... I am on the free version and there are a lot of things that I can't do without paying. Still has good options for the free version but please allow the free version to make me able to do more things.
  17. [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.
  18. [R40] Fitness Coach 1/5 · US I was scammed: My money was taken and they’re refusing to refund me
  19. [R88] Workout for Women 1/5 · US Horrible: Horrible wouldn’t let me cancel my subscription
