  1. [R2] 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!
  2. [R14] Workout for Women 5/5 · US The Best Workout App in the World: Update, June 24, 2026 - I’ve been using this app for a while and I like it even more than when I started. One of the rare and fantastic things about the workouts is that they are genuinely well thought out, really nicely put together. It seems a person sat down and thought this through and put the exercises in the right order and the most beneficial exercises.
  3. [R18] Workout for Women 3/5 · US used to be better: i’ve had this app for a while, and i still really like it. i’ll admit i pay for the features so i don’t get ads, however, it is slowly turning into ai slop. many of the newer daily workouts are the same things over and over. the daily habit stretch is just a workout, not stretches. a lot of the better stuff is all older material.
  4. [R20] Workout for Women 5/5 · US Great app: Love the variety of the workouts and being able to choose different programs
  5. [R10] Workout for Women 1/5 · US 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.
  6. [R30] Workout for Women 3/5 · US Not the same; but works!: I used to be able to do the free workouts without ads. Now I’m forced to watch a 90s ad. I’m not opposed to that but it’s takes more than 90s to close them out. It seems like they are trying to trap you it downloading apps. Ugh!!!
  7. [R37] Workout for Women 1/5 · US Lack of Transparency: My app updated and I no longer have access to Free with Ads. Though the free option with ads is shown when they promote the subscription, there’s actually no where to choose that option. You are only given the options of paying yearly or monthly. This lack of transparency is now making me lose my free access while also trying to force me to pay for this app. Have had this app
  8. [R40] Workout for Women 2/5 · US Keeps redirecting to SHEIN: I love this app and have used it for years. For whatever reason, I was redirected to the SHEIN website three times during a recent workout. Thought this was a one off but it keeps happening. Please fix!

  13. [R6] Workout for Women 3/5 · US AMack91: Great app for working at your own pace. It really helped me tone and lose weight. Plenty workout outs and exercises too.

  14.

  16. [R7] 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.

  21. [R86] Fitness AI Gym Workout Planner 5/5 · US Changed my life: This is a great app, I’ve been using it for a few years and it’s made such a difference. I did know my way around the gym before using it, having seen a trainer years before, but the diagrams are useful even for beginners.
