Customer Reviews

• Great App!

  by Hayhay@167

  This fitness app keeps me motivated and inspired. I love that it keeps track of all that I've done and uses charts to graph my information. The exercises are explained simply and come with a video. Great job!

• Everything promised

  by kilianwhite

  This app was recommended by a friend who was using it as a supplement to a trainer. It is very effective and I've seen positive results in the first week in stamina and improved muscle tone.

• Great!

  by amy lin

  I love it!

• by SAABtastic2013

  I do this workout 5 days a week in the morning and repeat before bed; the results are explosive! I was a cardio junkie spinning every morning for 40 minutes, not anymore!! Now I love this workout. I continue to drop fat and gain muscle definition. (And I've only been doing it for 30 days!)

• LOVE IT

  by EcofreakX312

  Nuff' said...

• Effective

  by tunji_dolapo

  Does what it says.

• Great mini burst!

  by Seablue77

  Love this! I used the app for the first time today.. I already went to the gym earlier but felt I need another quick burst of energy! It worked.. I'll try to do this every day.

• Great

  by Brandon Peluso

  Amazing

• First timer!

  by JenReed1008

  This app made it quick and easy to fit working out into my day!

• Good quick workout

  by Schuess60

  This is something you can start your day off. It helps to motivate you to go to the next level of workout.

• Simple and Effective

  by trth20

  Great motivation to stop the "I have no time" excuse. Very quick and gets the job done.

• Would give 5 stars but

  by Atlantis4569

  I'm not real happy that I have to pay for both an iPhone app PLUS an iPad app as well. That's not right.

• Amazing

  by Cjgqqjdj

  I love this app! It has changed my life.

• Started Dec 5th.

  by RafaelxRafael

  Really useful so far, makes it easy to get it done. Will update In 8 weeks. So I've lost about ten pounds. I haven't changed my diet and I only do the workout once a day on weekdays. I will point out that before this I was completely sedentary. Still, the workout must be effective for me to have lost the weight. Very soon I will be transitioning to two workouts a day on six days a week which should help me avoid the weight lost plateau. Also I would advise people with weak joints to check with their doctors first.

• Amazing!!

  by Alejandraaa__

  Workout are easy but get the job done! Waking feel soreness!

• Ohav

  by Colhaasvh

  Great App! But add more exercises please!

• Easy, fast, energizing workout

  by pamssmith

  This provides a great, quick workout - complete with video demos of each exercise! Cycle can be repeated to create a longer workout. Results and Activity Tracking keeps up with how often you exercise and (if you choose) your weight.

• Awesome

  by Florida Iphone nut

  Useful when on the road! Very effective!

• Perfect

  by Punky8497

  Just what I needed

• Simple. Helpful. Works

  by webjay

  Use it

• App Crashes on last exercise!

  by grand_kanyon

  On the last exercise the app crashes and it won't record the workout!

• Misleading

  by Richard VanDuyne

  Purchased this app on my iPhone and it stated it was compatible with iPad but it is not. Tried to use it on my iPad and it prompts me to purchase the HD version and will not allow it to download. Very misleading.

• Great little workout

  by DocDirt

  Simple but effective. Nice little app.

• Fantastic

  by Mwmoe

  This app is very well done. Clear easy cueing, good timing and good illustrations.

• Great App!!

  by Meghan Teress

  I'm pretty lazy and definitely didn't wanna get a gym pass (300-500 bucks seriously!??) This app is awesome. I would definitely recommend it to anyone trying to lose weight or just get a toned.

• Love it

  by HeatherHappyMommy

  Love this it's is kind of like having a trainer! My little one does it with me so it wears her out as well. There is no way you can make a excuse for not doing these exercises so quick and easy and definitely works love it!!!

• Gets me to work out

  by p0se1don

  Swag

• Excelente para empezar el Día..

  by Nelsonoil

  Rápido y trabaja muchos músculos a la vez..

• Perfect!

  by MACCN1997

  No excuse not to exercise every day with this app!

• Beautiful app

  by Yori yori29

  I just stared it so far is wonderful loves itttt❤️❤️

• by Ktwid

  Since day one I knew this was going to be a great workout!! I HIGHLY recommend it!!

• Great way to start the day!

  by Coco&Matilda

  If you don't have time for a longer workout, this is perfect. It's more challenging than you may think. Do some stretching before and after.

• 85% of the way there

  by BWarren89

  Things to add (take note developers) charts per excerise that how a heat map of muscle groups that each workout affects, people can more easily grasp how the workouts will be affecting their bodies and where they should be feeling tension in their muscle groups. Also a way to mark each day as easy or difficult. Finaled with (and I'm sure this is already being worked on) pairing with other fitness apps.

• Super!!

  by Dozier35

  It works !! Be determined !!

• Great App

  by God's Warrior

  I'm so glad I downloaded this App. Been using it since. I've seen great results especially with my energy. 7 minutes workout thanks again. Much needed.

• Lifesaver

  by OSFA

  This app seem likely to improve my health. For those days you can't go outside to exercise or just don' have the extra time, the circuit exercises work really well. I have to see how my lab work will look in a couple of months.

• just what I needed

  by Private5477

  This app is simple and easy to use. There is no excuse for not being able to squeeze seven minutes of doing something healthy for me each day. It is just what I needed to start building a healthy habit into my daily routine. Start small and build from there. Thanks!

• So far so good.

  by Jacquì

  With everything that the app offers, it's worth the price.

• Hmmmm

  by Natalie Thelusma

  I like the app but I wish there was a different workout everyday so that ur body does not adapt to the same moves

• Dormant to Movement

  by Elisabeth;)

  This is an easy app to get you up and moving, especially when you have been non-active for a long period of time! I'm excited to see the results in the next few weeks!

• Excellent app but Plz add more...

  by Safemook

  Good Morning! This app make me fit from start of the day! But plz add more exercise or more course to select...

• Boo ya

  by Smartonis

  Seems to be kicking my butt so far. I have very little time with two jobs and two kids, but I have time for this. Much appreciated.

• Awesome

  by Teema28

  This is my second day doing the exercises and I'm super sore. Great workout!

• Gets the heart going!

  by Jennsawe

  Totally cool app! Simple, easy to follow moves- I really dig it!

• Love this!

  by Jennifer5292

  No excuses now!

• Great workout

  by Michael Belnap

  I've really enjoyed the exercises on the app.

• Just started

  by runnerxc12

  So far so good :)

• Totally worth the upgrade!

  by Maha.Is.Jinx

  I used a different(?) lite version of this app a couple of months ago and it was very blah, but this one is great, the VoiceOver is so clear and the videos are crisp! And it helps to see how many reps the coaches are doing in the videos so you know how many to try for and the rests are great because they give you time to get into position for the next move without hurting yourself. I'm not vey active so from my perspective it works because I was sweating but not out of breath so let's see how it goes!

• Great workout!

  by Mimi17252675

  I started doing one cycle now I'm doing two cycles and I look forward to doing three cycles in a row! I partnered this with additional cardio.... Seeing great results!

• Great workout!

• Meme

  by Newwmeehellickson

  Totally impressed!!!! Exactly what I was looking for. Exercise wherever and whenever I want. What more can I ask for....FUN FUN FUN!

• Nice workout!

  by ~Buble'Babe~

  So far I love this app! I've been using it for 3 days and I get a good sweat in in just a few mins. I like the ability to make the workouts longer if you felt froggy that day. It tracks your progress and what days and how long you worked out. The moves are muscle building/fat burning moves like squats, planks, push ups, high knees, and jumping jacks to name a few. Absolutely love it!!

• Well done

  by CO Orf

  Nice design. Does exactly what it should.

• Love it

  by _Spack_

  Just finished one rep. The app is just what I needed: a high intensity interval circuit coach.

• Great for anyone

  by Menotfit

  I have been a fit junkie and a lazy butt. Over the last year and 1/2 I've been doing a lot of sitting between work and school. This is simple and perfect for a quick work out or to extend it. Great for those lazy teens too. Get them in on it with you.

• good

  by JY_Kwon

• Lovee this app and I hate working out

  by Skylar Webster

  My friend and I downloaded this app and did it during the Grammys and it was awesome. I hate working out because I never know what to do and hate being around sweaty people. This is perfect for me because I can do it in the comfort of my home or with friends when I'm busy. I even catch up on my tv shows while doing see real circuits. Lurveeeeeee

• Great app!

  by Mr. Mugwump

  I just started, but it feels like a great way to get exercise when your biggest obstacle is time.

  This app is the best one I've seen of its kind! The only thing that could be in proved would be to change up the exercises. Other wise great app!

• Wonderful!

  by Carmen Rodriguez

  Love how easy and quick it is, but still makes you sweat!

• Can't walk!!!!

  by Kelly O'Keefe

  After I did this workout the first day, I was ok. I woke up the next day and couldn't walk or move without being in pain. NOT for beginners. Lol

• Love it!!

  by Mama901

  I am very busy with work and my 15 month old and this has really helped a lot!!! 7 minutes is nothing and I've already lost 5 lbs just starting out!!

  by Cocolovesflowers

  :)

• Great app

  by Rogereqbbit123

  Im a football player and i wanted a little challenge for workouts so i downloaded it. It runs smoothly and takes a little amount of time. The work isn't that hard but it sure does get you sweating and moving. I don't have any problems with the app so thank you for making it

• Excelent!!

  by Marioamador1

  Great

• Love it

  by Cjpowers3434

  Working out is fun

• Amazing!

  by Thelostwoods

  I do this 2-3 times per day on top of Insanity it's a great little cool down workout!!

• Excellent

  by Enthios

  Gotta love it. No weights and can do it at home. Perfect.

• Well worth the price

  by TheresaM615

  This app was ridiculously cheap and is very user friendly and most importantly, it's helping me build endurance. After the first 7 minute workout, my abs felt it the next day. I'm sorely out of shape and hate dragging myself to the gym. The exercises are so easy to learn (pictures, videos and text descriptions make them impossible to not pick up within seconds) that I find my self saying, "yes, I can spare 7 minutes". I love the achievements it keeps track of too. Can't wait to see the results after a month.

• Excellent Workout

  by BusyMom, CareerWoman&Student

  I downloaded this app in hopes of convincing myself that I was actually being able to dedicate some time out of my jam packed day for working out. Not only is it true that I'm taking the seven minutes to workout but I'm actually seeing results! Highly recommend this app!!

• Very Useful - Gets Heart Pumping

  by WFDIII

  Does the job - great quick workout

• Awesome

  by Giggty12$;:?))

  I got this app 2 days later I have a 6 pack jk I don't even have this app

• Simple, functional, efficient!!

  by FM1

  Would recommend anyone this app... Very simple extremely functional and perhaps the most important, EFFICIENT!!! Looking forward to future updates and features...

• Good so far

  by Mariah Blizzard

  I'm only on day two of this workout. I like it, and it definitely leaves you out of breath. My only problem is I have a slight disability and it makes it hard to do some of the exercises, and I'm lacking the upper body strength for the push-ups and crunches. Other than that though, it's totally worth the money.

• I love it!!

  by B.j.c.l

  I am a mother of 7 kids and do not have time to do a whole lot! I do one series and if I have time I do more! And I feel like I've gotten a great workout!

• So far so good

  by Bubbles1663418263

  I like this app. It gives me an energy boost in the morning and keeps me going. I just do it whenever I am feeling sluggish and it I better than putting caffeine in my body. I love the tracker in it. And the little achievements. :) it's worth the money. :)

• Very effective way to start working out

  by TonyRAZ

  It's hard for me to stick to a workout plan. Bought this app during Apple's 12 Days After Christmas event. It's been amazing. Only takes 7minutes so made it impossible to for me to come with an excuse not do it. Well laid out. Videos showing the exercises are great. And it tracks your tigress. Have lost a little over 4lbs since I started using this 3 weeks ago. Great way to motivate myself & control eating. Highly recommended for someone starting their "getting in shape" journey. Probably not very useful for a very fit or athletic person who already has the motivation and discipline to workout consistently.

• Great

  by hbchongo

  Great

• Good workout

  by Jhaggreyjag

  Didn't know how out of shape I was. Very good cardio blast.

• Great way to get back to working out regular

  by NYSE*

  Wonderful work out I love that I can be done in 7 mins completely fits my busy life style.

• Great for all fitness levels

  by JKahzaa

  I'm an army officer and sometimes I'm stuck in a hotel or I'm traveling and I want to get a quick workout in. I recommend this for those trying to get in shape or if your like me and workout regularly this is a great body weight workout that can be used so you don't loose your gains when going without access to a gym.

• Solid workout app

  by SometimeLater

  Does exactly what it advertises and does it well.

• Love it!

  by Undoing Fate

  So easy to follow. At first I didn't think it would be very effective but it is. Glad I downloaded this one!
