FitOn Workouts & Fitness Plans

I’m still going to rate this as a five star app because this app has helped me fall in love with working out. I’ve used it for over a year and I love the trainers and the selection. I even bought a Roku so I no longer had to stream from my phone. The Roku app is fine, but the phone app is superior. I recently changed programs and my Roku app does not acknowledge the new recommended workouts a day, but I am making due. After having such a great time, I wanted to give my money to support the app, but…gosh I feel terrible, but the paid extras are just not worth it. The meal planning is a forgotten feature where they add the same meals over and over again and they do not consider allergens. So that zucchini lasagna you keep throwing at me? I’m allergic to dairy and cheese is kind of a main ingredient for lasagna. I tried their dairy free Mac and cheese and after over an hour cooking a lunch, I had to throw the whole thing out, it was so disgusting. The other problem is they think you’ll have all this time to cook. Most of the recipes take too long and are expensive. I haven’t had any reason to use the other paid features, like downloading a work out or using their music. I don’t regret the money spent, because I think the developer and the trainers deserve it. But I won’t be renewing my subscription unless something drastically changes to tempt me.

Accessibility to fitness is difficult for lots of people because of how expensive classes and gyms can be. Hoorah for making an app with a huge fitness library that’s freeee. This is the best fitness app I’ve ever used as far as motivation and variety goes. I’ve consistently worked out every day since downloading it and have added a lot of variation to my workouts. I downloaded pro since they were having a promo. I don’t use the meal plans but do use the meals section to add recipes to my grocery list when I’m in a rut. I have a bit of feedback but I’m confident small things will continue to improve as the app develops. 1). I wish there was a search feature. Sometimes I want to type a key word in and see everything that qualifies, or want to type an ingredient in and see which recipes use it. 2). A couple of recipes are missing parts to them like the salted caramel pancakes don’t actually include the recipe or ingredients for the salted caramel (I found that part online though so, no big deal.) 3). I can’t play the meditations with my phone screen off. This is mostly an issue with the sleep mediations. Deandre’s sleep meditations are some of the best I’ve ever used but if I fall asleep during the meditation, I wake up hours later to a hot phone after the screen has been on all night :-( None of that will make me stop using the app, I can see myself using this app for a very long time.

I honestly never review apps. This might be my first ever. But it’s worth it because this app has been HUGE for me starting my new fitness journey this year. I’ve been wanting to get in better shape and move my body more, but because of schedules and life and everything it’s hard for me to actually get myself to a gym. I’ve done at-home workouts before, mostly yoga, but was never able to stay consistent. A friend recommended this app and since it’s all FREE (did I mention that every workout forever is FREE?!?) I decided to give it a try. I am so glad I did because I have been HOOKED ever since. I love the 3-5 minute daily workouts for morning, afternoon, and night. I have timed notifications set up and since it’s only a few minutes it’s so easy for me to at least complete my at-work and pre-bedtime workouts every day. The at-work stretches in particular have been absolutely amazing, it’s a great way to get me up and away from my computer for just a few minutes to keep my body moving throughout the day. Each week you get personalized recommended workouts, but you can always search and explore for others that fit your mood, time limit, intensity level, etc. There are fun challenges and celebrity workouts and all kinds of things that keep this app fresh. I couldn’t recommend it more. Definitely give it a try!
