  1. [R1] Nike Training Club 2/5 · US Better basics: Bring back better basics!!!
  2. [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👌🏾🩷
  3. [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
  4. [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
  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. [R21] Nike Training Club 3/5 · US Bring back the iPad version!: Having this variety of workouts has had a massive impact in my ability to keep playing soccer, work without getting injured, and stay positive. I just wish they’d kept the sorting of workouts by muscle group and the iPad version!
  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. [R8] Nike Training Club 5/5 · US actually best workout app: favorite workout app bc everything is free and good
  15. [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
  16. [R15] Nike Training Club 3/5 · US Sound: For the love of all things holy! Why do you have to turn down my music when I start a workout! Fix it!
  17. [R33] Nike Training Club 3/5 · US Workouts hard to watch: Workouts seem good but it’s hard to follow along on my phone. Can’t stream to android devices (Google TV, Amazon Fire TV). If they allowed streaming to more than just Apple AirPlay devices that would be great.
  18. [R47] Nike Training Club 5/5 · US 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
  19. [R63] Peloton 3/5 · US App not usable for 5 days: Peloton upgrade crashes the app on start up. Peloton identified the issue but the app is still broken still 5 days later. This is unacceptable. The fact that this is an identified issue and still broken 5 days later is insane. Where is the update?
  20. [R67] Peloton 1/5 · US Constant Crashing - Unusable: After 26.5.2 update on iPhone, app crashes immediately or within a few seconds of startup. The app is currently unusable.
  21. [R73] Peloton 1/5 · US App Crashing: App has been crashing since the latest update
  22. [R79] Peloton 1/5 · US Crashes: App crashing when opening since last update on ios.
  23. [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.
  24. [R42] Nike Training Club 3/5 · US Not iPad friendly: Can you make this app fit on iPad ?
  25. [R65] Peloton 5/5 · US Great app for everyone: I was using the peloton app simply for the bike and then threw on yoga and stretching my wife and kids. I just started doing the 20 minute weights workout, which is amazing as well. Not a lot of time wasted getting a mild sweat going targeted specific muscle groups daily.
  26. [R74] Peloton 5/5 · US Peloton: Fitness & Workouts , Yoga, Cardio & Gym Training: The most enjoyable accessible addictive fitness platform I’ve ever used as in I just couldn’t finish off a day without getting a peloton class in
  27. [R83] Peloton 5/5 · US Walking outside: Wow why didn’t I try this before I walk outside once a week to take my break from the bike how motivating to have Rebecca Kennedy and Olivia Amato. Music great encouragement great and help me stay focused and paced!
  28. [R101] Peloton 5/5 · US Obsessed with my Peloton: I started my peloton journey doing the cycling and then realized I can work my entire body with this one app and explore things I previously not done before like yoga. It’s really helped me become consistent.!
