  1. [R1] Nike Training Club 2/5 · US Better basics: Bring back better basics!!!
  2. [R2] Nike Training Club 5/5 · US The best: The best health/workout app by far!
  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. [R8] Nike Training Club 5/5 · US actually best workout app: favorite workout app bc everything is free and good
  5. [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.
  6. [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.
  7. [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
  8. [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.
  9. [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.
  10. [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
  11. [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
  12. [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.
  13. [R6] Nike Training Club 3/5 · US review: give us more dang free things bruh
  14. [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
  15. [R43] Nike Training Club 1/5 · US Won’t Let You Register: App says I’m not Elia’s to register. There is zero reason for this. Online reviews say the app glitches terribly. Told me to contact customer support. I’m not contacting customer support for an app that has not even gotten my @** off the couch yet. Go elsewhere.
  16. [R66] Nike 3/5 · US Bugs: I was seeking help because when I customized a pair of shoes the app reverted the color to something I didn’t order . The feature to talk with representatives sucks. The representative closed the chat without allowing you to respond. My rep name was Selina
  17. [R80] Nike 5/5 · US Great but I need help: The Nike app is great there are so many shoes and clothing that u love but i haven’t been able to access it because it won’t let me sign in or sign up anymore because it says “error user not able to access” if anyone can help em out with that please help me
  18. [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
  19. [R44] Nike Training Club 5/5 · US Good workouts: Free and guided workouts that motivate you and get you that sweat you need
  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.
  21. [R42] Nike Training Club 3/5 · US Not iPad friendly: Can you make this app fit on iPad ?
  22. [R19] Nike Training Club 1/5 · US 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.
  23. [R28] Nike Training Club 1/5 · US The app isn't working properly: The app isn't working properly. I want to subscribe, and it says it's sending the code to my email, but it never does. I tried several times.
  24. [R30] Nike Training Club 3/5 · US Excellent app but won’t let me log in: This app is great for exercise. But for some reason at least three accounts are not receiving the code to log in and exercise. I tried adding a new account and the same happened. No code to log in received in my other email.
  25. [R70] Nike 2/5 · US new app update: the new app update made it impossible to find the for sale section. overall the flow of the main homepage is not intuitive. the app redesign looks like it was made by ai.
  26. [R73] Nike 1/5 · US New Browse Is Terrible: Ugh this last update made it near impossible to navigate. I can’t find anything as easily as I could. What are these categories anyways… just basketball, sportswear, running, soccer, training? What even is the purpose of the home tab? To have tab navigation then within one of those tabs you have a dropdown with more categories. What were you thinking product managers?
  27. [R78] Nike 3/5 · US AI ruined the app: Title says it all
  28. [R79] Nike 1/5 · US Content Overload: I find it extremely difficult to shop on the Nike app as it overloaded with content. It would be nice to have a healthy balance of content and products. The current format makes it difficult to just search for products.
