StrongHer - Workout For Women

I’m on week 2 so I’m still new to it but overall I like the workouts, I just wish it were more customizable. For instance, my program only has abs/arms once a week, so I add abs into all my workouts. I can’t figure out how to change my program to add more ab workouts, if that’s possible? Also the food logger is the weirdest logging experience I’ve ever seen on an app so I don’t even use it. I’m sure there’s some philosophy to it but to me it makes more sense to track nutrients rather than try to calculate how many servings of food groups you’re eating at each meal, and there are only a handful of foods to choose from. How do I add granola? Lol. Last, I am doing the at home program and none of the cardio days give me an option for cycling. I’m a SAHM with two tiny kids and a stationary bike so other than HIIT workouts, cycling is how I do my cardio. I don’t understand why that isn’t an option, I feel like a good majority of people who do cardio at home are doing it on a bike. So I just ignore the cardio days and do my own thing on the cycle. With that being said, I like the workouts so far, they’re pretty tough and leave me sweating, and the UI for the workouts is pretty good. For the price I would just appreciate more customization as you go through the program!

This company/service feels like a SCAM. After the PAID trial period, I had decided it wasn’t for me, due to the difficult to use meal logging (it is very limited in foods you can put in and really only had food that would be in a traditionally European diet), and the fact that the workouts were not anything beyond circuits of the 7 minute workout that is free online, I contacted the company to tell them I’d like to cancel my service. First of all, it was very difficult to figure out how to contact them. I ended up both emailing and on FB messenger to ensure they got it. The next day, I was still charged the full amount for the full program. I figured that when they got to the email, they would do the honourable thing and refund that money, since I had contacted them beforehand to let them know. Spoiler alert: they did not. I never even received a response. I had to email/ FB message follow up with them FIVE MORE TIMES to get any response, and they refused to refund the money back because I hadn’t provided my email address in the body of the email in my initial reach out, so it wasn’t considered as a cancellation request that was submitted enough in advance to give me a refund. Honestly, I’m relatively certain that this is not legal under consumer law in some countries but don’t have the time/energy to continue fighting. My recommendation though: stay away, as you will never see any money back from these people and also there are MUCH BETTER apps out there with similar / cheaper functionalities that aren’t trying to rip you off.

This app is great, but - Downfall there is no free trial to see if it’s a good fit for you even one day would’ve been super helpful. I won’t use the food guide or recipe plans since it’s extremely limited options or you have to build your meals one ingredient at a time. I also wish you could shuffle the supersets as well because the gym at 11pm may be wide open but at 6pm forget it I’m lucky to just get 3 rounds of the single machine in at a time. I wish you could look at the workout and say okay I have X machine and access to X free weights let’s do these together instead of X machine and X machine together as long as that’s still on that day’s routine. I also wish you could “add notes” or “select weight level” for the particular reps since it’s almost a week in between a specific muscle group. For example chest press at 20# this week I’ll know that’s what I successfully used, next week I will know to use that again or even go up if that’s what my body is ready for. There are so many workouts and different machines it’s hard to keep track with out a notepad alongside it Otherwise it’s a SUPER helpful app and overall I do really like it
