Great stuff. For both home and gym workouts. Helps you stick to a program if that's typically your downfall (like me). Highly recommend giving it a shot, you will ONLY benefit 😉
I feel like I'm getting stronger and progressing just as much as I was when I was paying a personal trainer, but with less hurt on the wallet. I like the way the workouts are setup where it's a whole body workout instead of focusing on one or two muscle groups. The best part is how It focuses the workouts on your specific activity. So glad I found this app and gave it a try!
A Great customer service team at Volt. Didn't know I had a subscription and they were able to refund me in time and was very respectful doing so. I did use the app in high school and loved the app. Gave great workouts and a great AI system to help you progress in your goals.
Very user friendly. Great examples of the work outs. Love how it provides all the details you need to have an amazing work out!
Great app. Would give 5 stars if weights and reps could be edited after workout was completed. I've made mistakes a few times with entering the wrong weight and then I can't go back and fix it. Also, would be great if the rest timer would beep after the time ran down so that I wouldn't need to be looking at my phone. Otherwise I really love this app and think it's a great alternative to paying for a personal trainer.
Great app. The workouts it gives are challenging and made for you to get the best workout possible. The UI is refined, the workout descriptions are easy to understand and follow, and I love how the AI plans out an entire year of workouts to accommodate my needs. I haven't had any app crashes nor have I encountered any abnormalities (using a Galaxy Note9). The monthly payment is definitely worth it if you're looking to become both athletic and muscular.
This app works very well! Very stable and relatively easy to use. However, a somewhat small gripe I have with it is that the app doesn't like weights that aren't multiples of 5. I'm particularly weak, but I typically use 12 lb. dumbbells. However, the app rounds them up or down, and I have to change them manually each time. I'd appreciate the app having better handling of these weights, it would help make my exercises more accurate.
So far my experience has been nothing short of amazing as I receive better feedback than some trainers I have utilized. The program introduces new exercises and weight adjustment based on the participants feedback after each set. I would like to make one suggestion, unless I'm overlooking its existing availability, and that is the addition of an incomplete option if a particular exercise is skipped. I am glad to have heard about this application and highly reccomend it to all.
Very much enjoying the workouts and I'm seeing an improvement in my durability and mobility after a dozen or so workouts. However there are a few features/bugs holding it back. -there's no sound or vibration indicating that the rest timer is over. -I wish I could log which warm ups/finishers I do. I'd also very much like to see a graph of my progress in different areas. -when I start a workout, begin a dynamic warm up, then tap "Done" it ALWAYS prompts me to mark the warm up as "incomplete"
I absolutely love the app and how it streamlines workouts with very specific goals. The only critiques I'd give are that there are several non-freeweight workouts that are not there. Cable stuff for example is mot present for chest. On that similar note, a search functionality for workouts would be very useful. Most importantly, please allow us to use our phone's back button to go to thw previous screen. It's such a tiny problem, but it drives me nuts to have to use the apps built in back button.
The process needs reimagining. Being glued to my phone is not what I'm looking forward to when I hit the gym. Something about the way you have to hit the "done" button and answer the questions after every set makes it tiring by the second workout. It feels slow, clunky, and mentally taxing. It needs to be all in one page, less info, faster, easier, at a glance. I'm working out, not submitting a job interview. Otherwise the workout was good enough.
This app was licensed through my work. It creates workout regimens custom tailored to available equipment, desired goal, and days/ wk, which is fantastic. What I like about this app is that it forces me to diversify my workouts and do more core strengthening, which I tend to neglect. I question the static stretching at the beginning of some workouts, which newer studies indicate may be detrimental. Also it would be nice if each exercise named the muscle groups being worked.
3 month Update: -2 stars the workouts are too repetitive and doesn't incorporate all of my equipment. for example, I have battle ropes but they are never recommended. It would be nice if the warmup had replacement options like the standard workout. Original: This ap is as close to a personal trainer and you'll get without hiring one. Excellent programming and pushes you just enough.
Good app. Could be improved by showing what body parts are worked during the specific exercise. A more flexible weekly plan as it is currently set to 3 workouts per week whereas I work out 5 times a week. Also it assumes the gym isn't busy and that you can chop and change between machines which sometimes is not the case. Despite these improvements, it does provide a great guide on what you need to do and creates beneficial workouts.
I love this app!! My coach set up a work out program for me on here two weeks ago and I've been using it ever since. You can modify the workouts to fit with the equipment you have and with your current strength. Not to mention the streak feature keeps me motivated. Of course like any kind of fitness program its a tough comitment but it's definitely worth it! Give this app a shot!!
Using it for a week (via free trial) and so far so good. I really like the fact they ask what type of sport you'd like to train for and have the workouts geared towards it. As well, the "calibration" feature is nice for workouts I haven't done before or am unsure what my limits are. Yes, I can figure it myself but it's still a nice, simple feature. Lots of good information on types of workouts and the reason for each weeks routine.
Ultimately this app didn't work for me. This is a lovely presented app but, as a relative novice to this type of workout, I need to follow something more visual. I found the descriptions difficult to follow while trying to get in to position, and the need to manually start/stop the timer and recognise when you switch sides kept interrupting my flow. Maybe being able to cast properly to my TV would have helped but ultimately I find video routines on YouTube more beneficial to my style.
I saw it in an Instagram ad and decided. To download it for a summer workout plan. The month that I was consistently following the workouts I felt really good and stronger. Of course then life gets in the way and I stopped for three months. I'm back on it now and I could not be more excited to get to my next level athletically but having this app push me and set goals.
I've been looking for an app that gets me back into shape Football style with seasons, coaching, dynamic warmups, loads/unloads, conditioning, and mobility. This app has all that, a smooth GUI, and Nutrition tips. I appreciate the coaches and app creators behind this effort and that Gatorade with it's success record in sports (from beginners to collegiate level and the pros) has partnered with Volt to create this powerhouse app for athletes, first responders, and military personnel alike. A+!
Good selection, nice progression, a bit tricky on adaptive side I've resorted to manually entering weight adjustments. I would like to see add on options like warm ups included to automatically tailor to the workout upper body, lower, core etc.... I would also like primers (for example the knee) available after warmups in workout. A skip option that adds extra work into the week before or after would be nice, it's hard with a busy life to always meet with the 4 day cycle option.
I purchased the 1 year plan in January of 2019. I was using it regularly and seeing progress. Now its March of 2019, and the app crashed and now wants me to log back in and re-purchase the 1 year plan again. What the heck!!! I paid my money the first time. How does your app cancel my subscription??? UPDATE: The company reached out and corrected the problem. Good customer service to reach out and resolve a problem in less than a day. looking forward to continued use!
The app is Free but cannot be used without a paid subscription... very misleading. "Free" trial requires a credit card... no thanks. EDIT: Auto billing when trial period ends is a dark pattern that should be illegal. If your product is good enough I'll be more than willing to provide CC info, as the consumer I'd search for the form to set up a subscription. Relying on users to cancel is a gimmicky way of charging people who forget to cancel ahead of time. Thanks but no thanks.
I guess if you go to a gym is a good app. But with the quarantine I was expecting something more out of the at-home program. The programm is only 3 days a week, It let's you input the equipment you have. But it never uses it in the at-home programm (I have a pull-up bar, and some other stuf and it seemed a waste not to use them). Also the warm-up and finnishers are not part of the programm and is always the same. I would have liked the app (given it says it uses AI) to build the entire thing and not having to manually start looking and choosing what should I do now. I think the concept is very good, and I love the idea of an app that evolves along with you. And maybe when we can go again to the gym I will give it another chance. But for now, it is just not worth it for me.
Volt is a great workout app backed by exercise science. You can tell that it's legitimate because of the types of exercises, rep ranges, and exercise resting time for each workout. I highly recommend this app for someone looking to have a fun workout routine that shows results! I do have one complaint however. The buttons on the top of the screen are very difficult to click on in the Android app. Please make them bigger and allow hardware/gesture back navigation 🙏
