  1. [R3] Nike Training Club 3/5 · US 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.
  2. [R4] Nike Training Club 2/5 · US 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.
  3. [R5] Nike Training Club 5/5 · US Great workouts: … you can do a short one or a long one! Very effective- I love doing them at the park on my mat👌🏾🩷
  4. [R9] Nike Training Club 3/5 · US 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
  5. [R7] Nike Training Club 1/5 · US 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.
  6. [R10] Nike Training Club 1/5 · US 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.
  7. [R12] Nike Training Club 3/5 · US 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
  8. [R13] Nike Training Club 2/5 · US 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
  9. [R16] Nike Training Club 2/5 · US 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.
  10. [R6] Nike Training Club 3/5 · US review: give us more dang free things bruh
  11. [R8] Nike Training Club 5/5 · US actually best workout app: favorite workout app bc everything is free and good
  12. [R14] Nike Training Club 5/5 · US 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
  13. [R26] Nike Training Club 5/5 · US 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
  14. [R44] Nike Training Club 5/5 · US Good workouts: Free and guided workouts that motivate you and get you that sweat you need
  15. [R61] Fitbod 1/5 · US Nooooooooo: Horrible it told me on an add it was completely free but no over 95.00$ a year!
  16. [R67] Fitbod 1/5 · US Stupid: I downloaded it, answered all the questions and then it brought up the usual... Paying for a subscription. There was no X on the screen and it wouldn't let me past that screen almost making sign up for a subscription. I tried to close and refresh app but then it just went back to that screen. Waste of time signing up for something that was supposed to be free.
  17. [R70] Fitbod 1/5 · US Subscription Mandatory: Classic free SaS app that makes you make an account and then immediately asks for an auto renewing payment method to do a free trial. Can’t even get to the page to delete your account without putting in payment information.
  18. [R76] Fitbod 1/5 · US STOP TRYING TO TAKE PAYMENT: I’ve been trying for weeks to figure out how to stop this app from taking a payment from my Apple Cash! They are trying to take $69.99 because I did a trial three days through the Planet Fitness app and evidently there was also another three day trial directly through the Fitbod app that’s trying to take out $95.99, but they are trying to charge me both charges and try
  19. [R25] Nike Training Club 1/5 · US 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.
  20. [R40] Nike Training Club 1/5 · US iPad format: I hate the iPad format. The video doesn’t just play through like on my phone and it’s not widescreen.
