If you have a good idea of body mechanics and form and are looking for new TRX workout ideas, this app is for you! I like the breadth of exercises, organized by difficulty and/or filterable by muscle groups, and the ability to customize my own workout. The video for each exercise demonstrates correct form, but there are no verbal cues; a plus for listen to workout tunes, but not ideal for the novice or the unconditioned. Worth the $4.99!

As soon as I got the app, I wanted to see what the app had to offer and played the demo. First, I was confused and tried to turn up the volume and then realized that there are no verbal instrctions just a silent demo. When working out, I dont' have time to constantly watch the video, I am sure that might cause some injuries in the process trying to turn my neck a certain direction and causing poor alignment. Also, I don't want to pause during my workouts, I want them to be very intense. Hell, I can't even see anything in front of me with sweat pouring down my face. It would be nice to have verbal cues on the upcoming move as well as proper form verbal instructions during the workout timer. For this reason, I took off a star. Also, it would be nice if the app had a wod generator like the 12 minute athlete app, for those of us who have no idea what we are doing and need to be told what exercises to complete. Thankfully, TRX posts "the workout of the day". I am so glad that they do because I don't have the imagination to create my own workouts but I want to workout like a beast. I check the WOD daily and then create the workout within the app. So, please work on 2 things : Verbal cues and wod generator. All in all, great app but lacks some essentials.

I really like this app and the fact that you can create your own workout from the wonderful library of demonstrated exercises. My wish list includes a way to mix both timed intervals and repetition intervals within the same workout. For example, hold a plank for 60 sec., rest 30 sec., 12 Automic Push-ups, rest 30 sec. etc.. Another item I wish for is a way to export or download a workout do that I don't have to rely on Internet access to view the videos. Thanks for writing such a great app!
