Fitness Culture

I've been using Fitness Culture for like 3 or 4 years, and I've loved it! I've been on the Power Program the majority of the time. The programming has increased my 3 lift total by like 200 lbs, and helped me stay well conditioned for playing hockey! I really love the micro- and macro- cycling of the programming. It keeps things interesting but still stays focused on the goal of increasing strength. I had been lifting for awhile before I started Fitness Culture, but my wife was quite new to lifting when she started the Lean Program. The coaching descriptions and videos were perfect to help her get started and really enjoy lifting! I thought it was a little overpriced at first, especially since there are so many free programs out there; however, after using it for years it is easily worth every penny! I would strongly recommend it to anyone!

First, I’m absolutely not a social media enthusiast. Frankly, I only made a face book account because I decided to give it a try. I only have like 2-5 friends on my profile and originally wouldn’t care much about building up a portfolio of Facebook friends I’ll never meet. I’d already planned to delete the app as soon as the initial discounted pricing due to the summer challenge was over. THAT WAS A YEAR AGO! In the past year, I’ve continued my subscription, expanded my knowledge on workout routines, nutrition, programming and application as well as substitutions. Based on your goals, and where you currently are on your fitness journey, the end results are limitless. I’ve lost a good amount of weight & bodyfat and I’m still progressing in all of my main lifts. The moderators “ Darren aka Daddy “ has the patience of a saint 🤣; responds to every post in the private Facebook group and if he doesn’t get back to you right away, the rest of the people in the group all chime in to lend a helping hand. Sincerely and genuinely too! And with absolutely no judgment. I still don’t have many friends on Facebook but guess what? I don’t need to. I gained a whole community instead. All uniquely gifted and supportive fitness minded individuals ranging from beginners to advanced from all corners of the globe 🌍. It’s more than a fitness app, it’s a multi-interlaced lifestyle fitness experience. Don’t take my word for it, try it and prove me wrong. P.S I can’t stand Instagram either. Rant done

The attached videos don’t always stream properly despite being on a WiFi network. The max lift page can’t be edited from what has been previously entered so if you don’t know your max for a particular lift until after you’ve tested it, you have to re-enter all your lifts again under a new date. That’s a pain. Depending upon what program you’re signed up for, you don’t know how the meso-cycle will play out because programming only reveals itself a week or so in advance. You won’t know what you’re doing 4 weeks out or when the de-load is programmed. I don’t have Facebook so there is no community support outside of Facebook. On the programming front, the Power program starts out with testing max on specific lifts throughout the first week. Yet on the first day of programming they have a bicep and triceps superset programmed to failure. That’s just poor programming. If you’re testing various lifts throughout the first week on compound lifts it does not make sense to program this in that week. I’m in my mid 40s and I couldn’t recover by biceps and triceps sufficiently for when I had to test max reps pull ups or 1 rep max on the inclined bench later in the first week. Very disappointing for a $90 monthly subscription.
