I like that you can choose which muscles to target. I think when the free features of the app you can only create a workout and then you can't even use the workout you created. Other than the targeting muscle feature, it's like every other app. I can't say I like anything about the app when it's so limited.
Working with this app but thinking I will not renew. I have limited time to be away from my wife because she is handicapped. The muscle booster is advertised as having the ability of the user to do many chair exercises, which is why I purchased the one month trial. Come to find out that if you pick chair as your only exercise tool, you have limited (or none) exercises to choose from in a workout. This is not the way the app is advertised. That alone is why I have the app two stars.
I started the Muscle Booster work out plan to be more fit as I get older. I've been at it for 3 weeks now and I feel good. The warm-ups before workout and the cool down period after are great. What I like is that you can add challenges to your basic plan and if you don't like something in the routine whether it be too easy, hard or boring....you can change it. I would definitely recommend this app'
Many issues with this app. First, they lied and told me my program was $15 dollars a month then charged me $39 for the second month. You can't skip a workout...you have to finish the current one before it will load the next day. The program locks up too much and you can not go back to redo the exercise you missed. If you close out of the workout before you are finished, you have to start all over again. There are no bicep exercises in any of the workouts even in the full body workouts.
So far I'm having a pretty good time with it! User friendly, intuitive design. It's mostly very good. I like that you can note poor joints and such, that's a great feature that I really appreciate. My one big complaint is in the meal plan settings: there's no way to denote allergies or dietary restrictions. For instance, I'm severely allergic to avocados. Unfortunately, about 7/10 recipes in my plan include avocado. It would be really nice to have a way to avoid certain foods or food categories.
I have had problems with the app. It freezes when opening the app. It won't send me an email code to login. It is very frustrating just trying to even get into my account to do a workout. Once in the app there is no tutorial on how to navigate it (I did get into the app 1 time). update 5/24/25: Their customer service is very good. They were able to help me figure out my issue with the login code, but I still opted for the refund which they granted. Changed my review from a 1 star to 3 star.
I like the exercise portion and the options, well worth the program cost. The food plan option I find completely useless. Complicated multi-ingredient receipts at every meal. Your shopping list would be so expensive! Food preping would take hours! And they don't give you a weekly shopping list. I mean, the receipts sound good, but who is going to make Chedder and bacon stuffed peppers for breakfast?
Me, mid 60's, male. Needed to do resistance training and lose some weight. It has several daily challenges, I use the morning routine, 10 30sec bodyweight excersises. The resistance training at the gym is 3 times a week. It suggests exercises for you but there are plenty of options if a machine isn't available or you want a different excercise. For each excercise there are good instructions on how to perform it with a graphical representation whilst you do it. It's good value, I recommend it.
For what it does for quick and easy workout for your age, I recommend this. I'm lazy and I want something quick. This app fits me perfectly. It even let you rate each workout. If you want something that really works you out longer than this app is not for you. I recommend adding yoga to your routine from YouTube if you use this app. Only complaint, it need to be able to sync and gather data from your Fitbit. it does not do it.
it's actually a really fun app with visuals and a timer for each exercise, calorie burn count, you can choose if a specific workout was good bad or caused you any pain. when i wanted to cancel, the support team really helped me out, i didn't want to renew and it was too late, but since i caught it soon enough, they issued me a refund. i recommend the app for home workout folks, and i will be returning to paid subscription soon.
