- [R2] Nike Training Club The best: The best health/workout app by far!
- [R3] Nike Training Club 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.
- [R4] Nike Training Club 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.
- [R5] Nike Training Club Great workouts: … you can do a short one or a long one! Very effective- I love doing them at the park on my mat👌🏾🩷
- [R7] Nike Training Club 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.
- [R10] Nike Training Club 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.
- [R12] Nike Training Club 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
- [R16] Nike Training Club 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.
- [R19] Nike Training Club 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.
- [R8] Nike Training Club actually best workout app: favorite workout app bc everything is free and good
- [R14] Nike Training Club 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
- [R26] Nike Training Club 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
- [R31] Nike Training Club PLEASE BRING THE OLD FORMAT BACK: I don’t like the videos and I’m sure a lot of people would agree. Please make it an option Nike. Please. We know the app is free but I’m willing to pay for the old format. I had so much fun but now I simply can’t use it cause I find it annoying to work out with people around/talking too much.
- [R43] Nike Training Club 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.
- [R64] Workout for Women 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.
- [R96] Workout for Women Help - contact us emails not working: Can you access your paid subscription on your other devices. I normally used my iPhone but now I want to use my android tablet. Theres no login option on my tablet. It’s just asking me to resub. I’ve emailed for the last couple of days and noone is responding. Why is that? Can anyone help me?
- [R44] Nike Training Club Good workouts: Free and guided workouts that motivate you and get you that sweat you need
- [R62] Workout for Women 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.
- [R66] Workout for Women AMack91: Great app for working at your own pace. It really helped me tone and lose weight. Plenty workout outs and exercises too. I took away two stars because I used this app a lot when most of the exercise routines were free. Now everything I click on they want you to subscribe and that sucks
- [R67] Workout for Women Free Version So Frustrating: I do not care if I have to watch ads but what I do care about is if I get a pop up screen with no continuation option only advertising the paid version. The workout is available with ads yet the interface traps you with their predatory ads.
- [R75] Workout for Women Lame: It has a nice layer on how they give you the workouts and how it displays what you have to do before you start. The only downside is that you have to have the subscription to do anything basically.
- [R61] Workout for Women Scam and expensive: Cancelled my subscription and then received not one but two charges in the same day totaling almost $100!!! Don’t do it! Not worth it.
- [R63] Workout for Women Subscriptions: The is a good workout app but the only thing that i don’t like is that it said it was giving me a free subscription because it was my first time using this app, i get the subscription and its charged me 30 dollars idk if i did something wrong but warning, just stick to the free version and don’t be scammed like me 😭
- [R70] Workout for Women Free trial SCAM: I downloaded this app yesterday and I wanted to try the 1-week free trial, but once I used the Apple Pay feature to subscribe to the free trial I was charged $29.99!? Dealing with my bank now to get my money back but it literally said I would not get charged until a week after.
- [R25] Nike Training Club 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.
- [R40] Nike Training Club iPad format: I hate the iPad format. The video doesn’t just play through like on my phone and it’s not widescreen.
