Jump Rope Training | Crossrope

I’ve been jumping rope for up to 15 years. And breaking ropes for up to 15 years. Snapping cords. Busting bearings. Cracking handles. All of it until now. I sat on buying this for about three months and in that time I went through three different name brand ropes. Admittedly I’ve been jumping on concrete so the didn’t help, but even in the days when I was jumping on parquet floors things were still going wrong. Since skipping rope is my primary form of exercise and toning, I figured an investment would be worth it from allI I was hearing in reviews, even though I take them with a grain of salt. But now I’m all the way in. Four ropes, a mat, I’ve even let my free Crossrope app account rollover into my debit card. The workouts are up on point, the ropes and handles are on point— I’m not a joiner or a follower, not even a person that leaves reviews, but this ish has me locked. You got me Crossrope! Congrats. 🤣🔥✊🏽

I’ll start with what bothers me. Instead of seeing more luxuries added to the paid version, I’m seeing features of the lite version being tethered and pulled behind the paywall. That’s not “inviting users to upgrade”. That’s more like choking them out. I’ve read older reviews about how people were unhappy about the features behind the paywall when Premium was rolled out and the developer team responded with “Don’t worry, you can still do many workouts and challenges.” Not surprisingly, the challenges have now been throttled down to only 5 days. Where I come from, we call that lip service. I mean, I bought 4 ropes and a mat from you guys and this is how y’all say thank you? I used to be able to restart challenges. I like cycling between the Get Lean and Get Strong challenges. It would ask if I would like to reset the challenge when I would redo a workout but I don’t see that anymore. Let me guess, is that feature behind the paywall now, too? Onto the good. After I gained my covid 19 (19 lbs, that is) this app played a huge role in helping lose 45 pounds! Being able to schedule workouts and reminders really helped me be consistent. I still jump after nearly two years. I’ve seen the workouts get more and more streamlined. The app plays nice with other media apps running. The streaks and accomplishments are really fun to achieve as well! Thank you for that. If y’all could please tell me where that option to reset the challenges went that would be so great. Xoxo

The app is great! Easy to use, never bored of the workouts. Many are extremely challenging. However, I started using the app and bought the rope system almost 2 years ago when the gyms were shut down due to the pandemic. Several friends and I began using the app to jump together virtually. What motivation and accountability this allowed. I went from having three friends jump to introducing nearly 100 people to this wonderful world of jumping rope for fitness! We would all sign up for the challenges and complete them together using technology each day. Even if you had the lite version, you were able to complete the 21-day challenges, which were reduced to 14-day challenges and now Crossrope has gotten besides themselves by limiting the challenges to the first few days to those who don’t have the premium version of the app. By jumping together, SEVERAL of those who jump with me have gone on to buy the rope system, but they don’t want or can’t afford the premium version of the app. It’s disheartening that Crossrope has not only changed this option, but increased the cost of the rope system which already gives people sticker shock. I’m very disappointed. We’re just a bunch of people who want to challenge and motivate each other…no one is getting paid for this EXCEPT CROSSROPE! What gives?
