NASM Edge

Lost all client info and had to sign up again at double the pricem The PT on the Net software was much better and more thorough. Also lost all of the PT on the Net and PTA Global client info during the merger/acquisition. The Edge app is much more basic/elementary with a fraction of the exercise & program library and it didn't have all of the helpful articles from PT on the Net. Very dissatisfied customer.... the Edge app is DEFINITELY not twice the value of the PT on the Net option!

I might give this a better rating if it didn't just log me out and send me error messages every time I log back in. I even sent an email and i'm awaiting a response.

The app was a great study tool prior to the Android 12 update. I found the Flash cards, quizzes & practice exam extremely useful. The app won't open since most recent updates, I've cleared cache, deleted & reinstalled the app & finally factory reset my device. It still doesn't work.

You get one star because when I put in my DOB, I was forced to click backwards month-by-month from 2004 to my DOB December 1965. Consider it deserved for being so moronic. How much easier it would have been to just type in my DOB, but NO! I HAD TO TAP THE BACK BUTTON 468 FKN TIMES!!! IF CLIENTS HAVE TO DO THIS DUMB SHT TOO, THEN I'M FINDING ANOTHER APP, OR YOU CAN FIX IT

The app is very user friendly and easy for trainer and client to use. There are multiple glitches that happen, and can be very inconvenient, especially when you pay $100/yr and have paying clients counting on the app to work. More recently, something is happening and I can not access the exercises to build programs for clients, extremely inconvenient. I have multiple online program only clients, so this is how they get their workouts. Typically the app runs smoothly, and things are fine.

I had high hopes for this app. Got a couple new clients on board just to try it out, which almost made it worth the headache, but I could have done that anyways. You're stuck with the template programs they have. Sure, you can edit exercises within that template, but you can't create anything 100% custom. On top of that, the exercises they have are extremely limited and the search feature is not very helpful. I even gave them the benefit of the doubt, thinking, "Hey, it's new, there are gonna be some kinks." Emailed support about the issues I was having, so they would be aware and be able to work towards fixing it. Absolutely no response. I much prefer my clients getting an Excel sheet with links to videos, at least that way I can give them what they need. Better than that I moved them to a different app, with better functionality and the option to upload new exercise videos. We're all much happier having moved AWAY from Edge.

I haven't used it for clients yet but have been really enjoying the flashcards and practice exams. Only problem now is I can't log in (502 error) and my test is a week away! I've reinstalled and restarted multiple times with no luck. I really hope to be able to continue using these. It's been really convenient and helpful up until randomly last night.

Update: It's a pretty good start. Little frustrating with adding photos of your client. Sometimes it closes the app. It would be nice if you could add a custom workout without having to select one from the library. I.e. burpees. I can't create a specific one for that because it's not in the library. In addition, with stats like weight or miles in distance, it would be SUPER if a decimal point could be added. Maybe 2 miles is too little & 3 is too much. Being able to add 0.5 would be awesome.

This app is okay. It does have a bunch of workouts and exercises but not all that are discussed in the book. There are so many exercises that I'd like to assign my clients but am unable to. I also REALLY wish you could do this on a computer as well as on your phone. It is way too complicated and shuts my phone down randomly when I'm in the middle of creating a workout and then all of my progress is lost (even with the autosave update). Overall, this app CAN get the job done but not seamlessly.

This app is pretty awful. It looks good, it sounds good, if you're a NASM trainer it looks perfect.... But it's not. The scheduling feature is just terrible. The app glitches constantly. There are hundreds of basic exercises that are missing. And you don't have a way to include an exercise if one isn't in the app, even just by writing it in, never mind uploading your own which every other decent training app allows. It's a pretty useless app. I expected better from NASM.

It's not bad as far as it goes, but it's got some serious limitations. The exercise library is not great, TBH; i can't add things like weighted sled pushes, hammer slams, tire flips, or battle ropes to a client workout, because they aren't in the library. There doesn't seem to be a lot of the CrossFit-style exercises at all, which is unfortunate. I don't see a way to track the weights a client is using. There isn't a way to fully customize workouts, and there are only a few 4 day/week plans in their basic plans; of you want a client in the gym 6 days/week, you have to cobble together and customize multiple plans. There's no support at all from what i can see for traditional cardio work (running, stairs, rowing, etc.). That said, assuming you see your clients 3-4x/week, this can be a good way to fill in their remaining days, and give them video walkthroughs. It's not great, but it's not awful either; it just needs more development. EDIT: The inability to delete clients, or to edit client contact information is a *huge* drawback.

The app is cool overall. It's nice to have a trainer app that matches my training modalities. However, I would like to be able to 1. use other exercises for beginner-level clients such as machines, 2. delete former clients, 3. accept payments, and 4. have assessments and docs such as the parQ fillable on the client's end as well. $20/mo seems to be the average cost of apps that offer most of those features. Thanks!

This app has potential but is currently unusable. It is very buggy, freezes up, and won't let you adjust things the way you are supposed to be able to. If it was working I'm sure I would love it after the slight learning curve but it's very time consuming to set up custom workouts currently with how buggy it is and not even worth the free one client version.

Finally moving on to a new app. I have been using this app for a little while. I've seen it grow and felt the pains along with it. From not being able to log in, to all of the glitches, and the mininal excercise library. But now it requires payment to have access to more than one client, and won't let me view the rest. The app still has too many issues to make it worth having to pay for it. Plus there are other apps that are cheaper and I get more for cheaper.

Great idea and great potential, but glitches must be fixed in order to optimally use. Would not want to subject clients to stressing about a new app that doesn't function properly. Need to address the search engine for exercises.... Half of the filters do not work properly and many times the exercises disappear when scrolling through.

Please add computer access to this. The ability to record our own exercises would be fantastic as well (that may be a big ask). I say this because even one movement may need to be done differently depending on the client. In order to modify exercises on the fly we'd need to have creative access on the app. A lot of trainers are going to be making use of apps such as these so you have a great opportunity to make this thing awesome. Adding a system for record keeping would make this app 5 stars.

This app started off okay. I was so excited and hopeful to all I thought it had to offer. For some reason within the last month it has stopped working. I contacted both the app owners and Google and neither can solve the issue. Instead they keep pointing the finger towards one another. I have deleted and downloaded, canceled and restored as of any other suggestion made by company and google. Truly a waste of my money, paid for but is unable to use it. Very disappointed

The app is pretty easy to use and the workouts are alright. The biggest issue is that you can't make your own workouts from scratch. I love NASM but I do my own programming, whether it's according to OPT or not. It's not applicable to everyone. Put in the ability to build plans from scratch and it would be worth it.

Still tons of glitches and missing features. Cant name workouts without glitches, cant copy workouts directly to clients, 'duration' option glitches often, etc, etc, etc. Updates make things better and worse at the same time. Lpve the new video features (recording exercises and live session) but the other problems render the app unusable. I pay too much money for this app and as a CPT to have to deal with issues like this. Cancelling my service at the end of the payment period. Steer clear.

On 02/03/2022, the app worked fine, but on 02/04/22, it did not. Attempting to open the program prompted two messages, both state the app contains bugs and to contact the designer. I have submitted my screenshots of the messages to the developer after having uninstalled, rebooted, checked for Android IOs updates and nothing worked. The application is DOA after reinstalling.

Since Feb 8th I am also having the same experience as other users. The app just fails to open at all now. Rebooted, uninstalled/reinstalled, nothing works. Reached out to NASM student support team, looking for answers. :(

I like the lower price for the subscription and the overall look and feel, but I still feel it is limited in what it can do. I would like to have the NASM program sheets in this app to where I can type out the exercise and the description of the exercise, the phase the client is in and any notes to and from my client. If were supposed to use the app to manage our clients then we need to have the additional functionality to do so.

I love this app for on the go practice tests for studying for the CPT7. However lately it's been crashing before I can even open it. I hope it gets patched up soon.

Exercise Library: The library needs to be updated to include TRX suspension exercises; more cable machine exercises like core rotation, bicep curls, etcetera; and hip ab/adduction machine exercises. Why are they missing from the library? Was it an oversight, or an intentional omission? Scheduling: Is inflexible, making it inefficient, which is ultimately counterproductive. Scheduling should be completely customizable, without having to re-enter all variables.

If you don't change anything else... at least add to the Library.... the app is smooth and quick but performance doesn't matter if it lacks content. I'll redownload after another update comes out. I mean. You don't even have bench press. I don't need a video to show me how to bench but having a custom input would even be useful.

I was extremely excited to find this app, especially since I am NASM certified. However, I was extremely disappointed in the lack of options provided. Also, when you put in different personal profiles, with completely different body types and goals, it provided the exact same workouts. As a trainer and a gym enthusiast, it was not useful for me at all. I really want to get back my $27.05 I was charged. I canceled my subscription and uninstalled the app. I have no desire to keep accessing it.

Updated lower pricing is not showing on my subscriptions page...? 1/7/19 - NOPE! I cancelled my subscription to avoid being charged another $129. I do not see any option labeled "details" and where there was previously a "manage subscriptions" option, that is now no longer visible. I would gladly pay $25/mo. even though the app only provides minimal benefit, but apparently your developement team needs to do a little more work! 😡

the platform is solid and perfect for the CES and CPT, unfortunately still either has some issues to fix or I just cant figure it out correctly. Will not allow me to edit workouts and save them which I have tried on both Android and Ipad. Emailed my questions a few times to make sure I was doing everything correctly and never received a reply. hope they fix this I will absolutely use this tool.

First, a lot of NASM recommended exercises are not in the app. Like Ball squats and Ball chest presses. Once you edit the workout and back out it will remove exercises you just put in. So I have yet to put a complete workout in the app for a client. It's a cool thought and idea, but a very incomplete app and shouldn't have been released yet. It is not a functional app. I can't imagine relying on this for a client. Also doesn't upload changed reps, sets, and rest time to specific exercises.

App is not working for one of my clients. I am not able to do anything with his profile because the screen goes completely white
