Some minor things I dislike: the stretches do not give you time to get into the next position. There are too many things to click through after every set. I know feedback is how it creates the next workout, but I don't want to blog after every set. Sometimes it seems too focused on legs, core and glutes. That said, there are many more positives. Someone with minimal or no equipment , just a few feet of space and some discipline and dedication, can go from zero to amazingly athletic.

A great app to get fit with minimal space and equipment. Perfect for frequent travelers that may stay in locations without a gym. The coach feature pushes your limit, but not flexible for the user. They should allow more equipment customization. Such as exercises with dumbbells instead of barbells or when you have some but not all equipments.

Be warned: I liked this app before I signed up for the coach. Be very careful if you're thinking about going for the paid version. I tried the coach feature (paid) for a while, but it wasn't for me. When I tried to cancel/unsubscribe, there was no way in the app or online to cancel the subscription (I looked several times in both). Naturally, I forgot to follow-up (I didn't actually know how), and without any warning in-app or by emails, I was charged the auto-renewal. When I responded to the email asking for a refund, within 4 hours of a YEARLY subscription, they just said tough luck. This is a ridiculous, short-sighted policy! Note, I've asked for refunds for many subscriptions immediately after the auto-renewal and I've never been turned down before. Shame on the Freeletics team for this policy. I obviously no longer recommend this app to friends, and I warn anyone thinking about trying out the coach feature the the app with try to squeeze you even when you're not getting value. There are two things that I'd expect for this Freeletics team if they actually care about the people they're serving: 1. At a minimum, have a small window where people can get refunds after auto-renewal. Particularly for people that clearly haven't used the product since renewal. 2. Ideally, provide prior with a 1 week heads up via email that their subscription is about to auto-renew. Surprising people with auto-renewals is a way to bring in a bit more money shirt-term, but you're going to make people angry, and that's a bad move long term!

App has been updated multiple times since my last review (almost 10 years ago!!!) Expanded offerings greatly, but now that the sample size is large, still offers "dumb" data. For example, if my personal best was from 10 years ago (again, !!!) me racing against that today is a doomed to fail enterprise. Of course I'm going to be slower on each set. Each set getting farther off the pace is demoralizing. It used to show against the previous try, which was a better measure pf improvement.

I would give 4.5 if possible. Super flexible in the possibilities and allows for a challenging workout routine. Probably the best workout app I've seen so far. That being said, it kind of maxes out at some point. 4 years in, I'd say that after about 2 years you've more or less seen everything it can do. And it would be nice if it was easier to search through history, as well as edit the past comments (ongoing issue for years).

Beware, this app is NOT FREE. With the word "free" in the name and no cost structure listed I thought it would be worth a try. Plugged in all my information and I couldn't access anything until I paid for it. Also the billing makes no sense, is it billed weekly? Monthly? In 6 month increments? I'm surprised such a deceptive app has such good reviews, maybe it's great if you pay for it, and I probably would have tried it out if they were more clear and upfront about their pricing, but I'll pass.

Great app so far. The only reason for 4 out of 5 stars is due to the inability to modify some exercises. You can adjust weight and reps for weighted exercises. But I'm a bigger guy. I need modifications for some of the workouts. Also there needs to be an option to make arrangements for injuries. I have a wrist injury that prevents me from doing certain variations of push-ups, planks, and some stretches. Make some changes devs for the 5th star.

I wasn't even 3 minutes into checking out the app that I wanted to uninstal, Why? No sooner do you launch the app, enter in your details, then expensive subscription options are thrown in your face, this is before you even see what the app is about and what it could offer to someone looking to improve their fitness. I'm sure that training on offer is good but first impressions are everything.

It's a great app, I'm enjoying it, and I think that if it wasn't for this app I wouldn't have started training. However, it should let you change your way of training once you started. Right now I'm getting many exercises that after 5 weeks of training are easy for me. And if I change the training it will start from zero. Hence my 4 stars. Also, some more equipment to add would be nice :) Thanks!

I tried to like this app for 6 months and just know to expect from customer service reps: robotic, not original, cookie cutter, with zero apologetic considerate attitude. I read some bad reviews but tried to look past them as the company seemed like at first they'd be willing to make changes based on feedback. NOPE!! One issue was food preferences. Before I purchased the app I asked about food preferences and they responded (it's also in the app when you try to edit) that they were working on adding more options. 5 months later, nothing has changed and same response. In nutrition app, it's bad if you like to meal prep as each day in the app you're suggested new recipes but you can't repeat those same recipes on another day. I suffered some injuries and needed to modify, and in the routine you've been given, you can't swap out exercises that may have less impact. You get what you get. If you can't finish your workout for whatever reason that day, the only option is to quit the workout and your progress is lost. It doesn't let you quit halfway and at least save the data you earned. They also won't give partial $ back even though I still have 6 months left of subscription.
