Kinobody Fitness

I had been working out on my own before starting to use this app, with a certain degree of success. But I have a home gym and because it’s accessible to me 24/7, sometimes it’s hard to motivate myself to do it. Using the app creates an easy way for me to track the exercises and my progress, as well as opening the app, and following the directions creates a sort of external accountability, including the automatic timer, the app uses between sets. Once you log the weight/reps on that set, the timer starts. It feels a bit like going to the gym. Even if you don’t feel like working out, once you’re standing in the gym, you might as well exercise. As long as I walk into my living room and open the app, I’m successful because I’m not going to sit on my bench with the app open and *not* lift. Also, he has super helpful video and written instructions regarding not just what to lift, but how, as well as nutrition info, and more. And there are multiple different types of workouts in the app along with additional customization, so it really can be a great fit for anyone. Loving this app!

For starters with this app, is there no free trial so there’s no way to even test it out. The description doesn’t even really tell you what you are buying. I put in my calculations for my body, 190 lbs, 5’10”, 37 inch waist circumference, and it said my goals body weight was 275 pounds… the description of the app says it includes the movie star body program; it does not. You can’t even really preview the workouts you select. I click through every week of a program and it just shows the workout for the first week. There’s no nutritional tracking. Definitely not worth the money. Giving it two stars instead of 1 because it does at least allow you to input your weights and reps. Reviews from over a year ago describe issues with the app, which I thought would have been resolved, but clearly there’s been no further development on this since the initial launch. Super disappointed in this purchase. No idea why it’s getting 4-5 stars from people.

I started using Kinobody 9 years ago when I didn’t know how to lift. The way Greg breaks it down into a lifestyle really resonated with me and still does. I’m biased because this is the first program I ever bought into, but I can honestly say that it’s one of the best purchases I ever made. The results I made in just a few months boosted my confidence, supercharged my gains, and honestly changed my life. I’ve tried almost every other method of lifting out there but I keep coming back to the Kinobody philosophy of building strength to build muscle with reverse pyramid on these key lifts. I absolutely loved the e-book format of the old programs and I am stoked to see that there’s an app now. I subscribed just to support the hustle. Cheers Greg!
