Volt: Gym & Home Workout Plans

REQUEST: Volt, can you bring back the initial primers? I miss the knee stability and shoulder stability one that was removed with the update. I've used Volt for about 3 years now. I went from 3.5 to 4.0 in women's tennis, and I can use heavier weights. Plus after an injury, I used their Priemer Shoulder Health to get better faster. Volt impressed me by emailing me personally asking about what I specifically liked about Volt for Teams (VFT) compared to this app when I said i preferred the previous app, and made some adjustments based on my reply. Now I use this one. Volt Athletics really is serious about their customer's experience and athletic training, and that's why you should consider Volt. I love Volt and highly suggest that any athlete that wants to improve their performance in their sport and prevent injury to try this app. Out of all the apps I've tried, this is the only one I could find with sport-specific workouts personalized to sport, my season calendar, gender, and fitness ability. Think of this app as an investment in yourself and your sport. It's similar to having a personal trainer, except more affordable. Before Volt, I use to do random things at the gym and "working out". But now with Volt, I'm truly doing the right strength and conditioning for me. In Volt I Trust!!!

Great accountability app and the workouts are good variety. My favorite feature is the streak counter to make sure your keeping up with the training schedule. At time of writing I have just completed 222 in a streak passing week 52 (year) with 212 workouts. It’s just a silly number but it gets me to show up every time. My second favorite feature is Cortez which is like your workout guide, it sets the weight and reps. Can’t complain as I have not had an overtraining injury while using the app. The flip side is in the beginning of using the app for the first few months I wish it pushed harder. It just must need to do a bit of learning because after about 6 mos it did start pushing more. And a year later it’s more of a battle to keep up with the tonnage expectation. All that said in a year my body fat (male) has went from about 22-24% to 11-12%. I just started focusing on nutrition more in the past couple weeks but prior there was plenty of chocolate chip cookies and hot and ready passing through weekly. You can’t put train the fat but apparently you can put a pretty good dent in it. Just saying.

Normally I don’t write reviews, but this app has made more of an impact on me than I could have ever expected. A year ago, I always wanted to start working out, but I never knew how to approach it. Then I saw an ad for this, and I thought that this could be useful to help plan my workouts for me. Through the workouts they have planned for me, I have gone from 120 to 145 pounds in a little less than a year and I can see and feel the difference. Currently I feel like I’m in the best shape of my life, and I only have Volt to thank for that. I don’t have many issues with the app, but there are a couple things I think that could be added to make it better. I think that there should be a feature that lets you plan your own workout outside of the structured plan that allows you to choose what movements you want to do, how many sets, and how many groups, as I think that sometimes I feel like I can do more than what the app prescribes for me. Also, I think there should be an option to not super set, as I go to a university gym that’s always crowded, making super setting nearly impossible. One tiny issue is that it won’t let you put in .5 lbs for the weight, it glitches whenever I try to use the decimal point to enter the weight I’m using. Also, I think that workouts should be categorized into what muscles that they work (biceps, calves, chest, quads, etc.) as I sometimes have a hard time deciphering what movements work what muscle. Other than that, this app has truly been a life changer and I always recommend it to people who want to start working out or when they ask where I get my workouts from.
