  1. [R12] ProFit 3/5 · US Not a personal app: I downloaded this and went through the setup. The exercises look descent but the major issue is that they have the one size fits all mentality. During the setup I was hoping it asks me my age, sex, height, current weight and target weight, etc.… so that it can provide me with a “personalized” plan. But it didn’t. I understand all the arguments about the privacy issues and al
  2. [R20] ProFit 5/5 · US Finally: I used to be a gym rat and was always in awesome shape. Slim-medium build...... cuts and definition. Everything was great till I became self employed and worked 70hrs a week. I tried numerous times for the commitment of going to the gym..... good luck with that!! For15 years I tried and started over and over at gyms,never exceeding more than a 3-4 week consistently.then I tried this GET F
  3. [R34] ProFit 5/5 · US I’m married to this app!: I’ve been using it for two years. It tells you exactly which part of the muscle you’re training, and HOW to do it correctly, on video. The best!
  4. [R37] ProFit 2/5 · US Sub-Par: The application layout looks great, but it is missing a lot of equipment that is in the gym, especially machines. I don’t like the fact that you have to pay the 1999 upfront without a trial. Because once you get into the app, you realize that there’s a lot of stuff that it’s missing definitely needs to have a wider range of equipment available.
  5. [R3] ProFit 3/5 · US Why are they all circuits?: Not possible in most busy gyms. You will lose your machine if you go to another. Not realistic
  6. [R5] ProFit 4/5 · US Options: Wouldn’t be nice if you can include options and we’re doing sets of four. I just hit an add which would repeat the set automatically adding the same weight and reps so I do not have to do independently for everyone. It also would be nice if there’s a place where you could keep notes to see if it was a difficult or easy set and if you had a substitute because not all the gyms have the same
  7. [R10] ProFit 1/5 · US Username Not Found: When I go to sign in, I’m met with “Username Not Found.” The app was able to accept my payment information, yet not load my username. Can’t get in touch with anyone for help.
  8. [R32] ProFit 4/5 · US Good Plans, Easy to Use: This app is a good start for people who are looking to get into working out or back into it. It takes all the hard work of putting together good workout plans and just lets you get straight to business! For the developers, you should make each days workout accessible from the locked screen to update weight and reps and each workout for that day. It would make things easi
  9. [R25] ProFit 1/5 · US Estafan: No se contacta con uno
  10. [R28] ProFit 1/5 · US Don’t purchase: Waste of money. Contacted them with no response. App doesn’t work correctly
  11. [R39] ProFit 1/5 · US Issues with signing in and no response from VGFIT: I purchased one year and the app will not allow me to sign in as it is throwing up an email error. I did reach out to VGFIT, but currently waiting on a response from them. Will adjust my review depending on the response from them or no response.
  12. [R6] ProFit 3/5 · US Bru: I literally have to pay $20 just to work out and 50 dollars for 3 months 🤦
  13. [R7] ProFit 1/5 · US No free trial: Atleast give one month free trial so we can check if you plan is working or not so we can pay for next month. Without testing why would we pay for subscription. Also why would be pay you 20$ per month if physical trainer on gym in Pakistan is charging only 5$
  14. [R9] ProFit 3/5 · US Price: Price I’d too high for a basic workout plan, everybody’s in this to get rich
  15. [R19] ProFit 1/5 · US Here is no option for canceling: Here is no option for cancellation
  16. [R31] ProFit 1/5 · US Pay to play: This was a great app to track your progress and learn different exercises. Then the free trial ends and you can’t do anything without paying for a subscription. I pay for enough subscriptions already I’m not looking to add another one. No thank you.
  17. [R45] ProFit 1/5 · US Not as good: I started using it when my friend told me about it and then when I used it, I realize that I have to pay a monthly to even do any workouts
  18. [R41] ProFit 1/5 · US Te cobran y no tienes como quitar la suscripción: Te cobran y no tienes como quitar la suscripción
  19. [R53] ProFit 1/5 · US Can not Unsubscribe!!!: It is NOT FAIR that you can subscribe BUT there is no button to unsubscribe. You need to email manually. Now have been 3 days since I send email, they still yet replied it.
  20. [R61] Workout for Women 1/5 · US capitalism ruined it: i used this app back in 2023 to lose weight i downloaded it back in 2026 EVERYTHING requires money , everything is behind a paywall.. why make a app free if you’re gonna do mini in-app purchases for everything.
  21. [R64] Workout for Women 1/5 · US Deleted after years of use: I used to LOVE this app. It allowed me to access work outs on my own time, in my own way. It was free forever, then recently required 90sec ads to do workouts, which was fine. All of a sudden I couldn’t access anything without paying an outrageous price. Apparently for them, money is more important than helping all people now. Used to be great, now is not at all.
  22. [R65] Workout for Women 4/5 · US Updates: I’ve had this app for over five years now and I’ve loved them, but hate how they kept going from completely free to charging for everything now. Really great app but not paying for it.
  23. [R79] Workout for Women 1/5 · US Nothing but paywalls: Is there anything that is free on this app anymore?? Even workouts I had previously saved now ask you to pay. Ridiculous
  24. [R88] 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.
  25. [R93] Workout for Women 3/5 · US good app but ruining it with ads: i’ve always been off and on with this app for years and i kept coming back to it bc it offered good workouts for free with no ads and now you have to watch a 90 second ad before EVERY workout unless you’d rather pay for premium. paying for subscriptions isn’t something i can just afford so i’m personally extremely disappointed they decided to add ads to the app.
  26. [R99] 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!!!
  27. [R108] Workout for Women 3/5 · GB One problem: The 1st day I used this app I enjoyed the exercises but now everything apart from the free daily 7 costs money and you have to watch a 90s ad and it’s annoying
  28. [R90] Workout for Women 3/5 · US Why is there such a string focus on losing weight?: I used to use this app for a while and it worked okay, but stopped working out and tried to redownload it. Why. Is. There. Such. A. Strong. Emphasis. On. Weight. Loss!? You can’t even log in and use the app without setting a weight loss goal! Every single exercise comes with a note on how much weight you’ll lose. I understand it’s useful if you
  29. [R116] Workout for Women 5/5 · US Kendall Serage WFW Review: This workout app is probably the best option out there! It gives me so much motivation and excitement to get up and do the workouts in the morning. The best thing about it is that you can pick the type of workouts you want to focus on, whether it’s pilates, wall pilates, fitness, postpartum workouts, and more! Truly the best option.🫶🏻
