Aaptiv: #1 Audio Fitness App for Android

They sent a reminder that my account was about to renew with a link to cancel. That did not work and they refused to issue a refund. The year before was similar. All I do is tell people not to give them your cc info. I canceled the card they have so at least I won’t deal with them again.

Update: Used to be great, not that great any more, am looking for other options. Problems: crashes; e.g. today app is saying no workouts are available: I uninstalled, reinstalled, still no joy. Changes to app: Was unhappy with music update and then with filters update - I want as few clicks as possible to reduce friction on way to my workout - it’s nice to have choice, the process just needs to be more streamlined — let me get to my workout while I have the will! Trainers: some of the best trainers appear to be gone (Meg, Kenta). New workouts: they are being added very slowly. Finally, irritated that the video gif of the exercise only changes when you are supposed to start doing that exercise, not when the instructor is describing the exercise. The athletes in the video gifs look like they are refusing to listen lol. // Update: app started crashing on opening - I deleted and reinstalled and all fine again. // First review: I promise I am not being paid by Aaptiv. I’ve been using the app for a few months now and am astonished by the quality of the trainers, the variety of workouts, and how the training keeps me motivated. I am an introvert who sees people all day at work so I like working out on my own rather than going to the gym, but I develop lazy habits on my own. This app keeps me trying new things and getting fitter and working on my form without needing to go be with people. I was reasonably fit when I started but am now at another level where I have never been before, learning and growing, and I am about to turn 50! I feel fantastic. I am doing the 5K crosstraining with Meg and have learned so much - I did not realize how many bad habits I had as a runner and I am now much faster and fitter. I also love the HIIT workouts, strength workouts, yoga, and stretching, and the meditation sessions are good too. I am starting to schedule quick stretch workouts during work (the app puts them in my calendar) which reminds me to take time for them. I don’t usually love products this much but this app is very high quality. I was reluctant to pay but am convinced it is worth every penny. Keep it up Aaptiv. If you have not been to some yoga classes or crosstraining classes you might struggle (if you don’t know what a burpee is or downward dog or whatever) — the trainers do assume some knowledge and there are no visual aids. Also hey Aaptiv it would be lovely for those of us without access to a treadmill if the treadmill running programs included mods for outdoor running on treadmill days.

I can con reset to redo previous running programs

The app instructions does not sync with the video. Very frustrating.

Very tough for me!
