App has a few bugs, but excellent ideas and great for workouts

This app is truly awesome because your training is all programmed for you based on science and previous workouts. I have to say this is an awesome app but it has a few different bugs and things it could use work on. Would love to see the ability to input custom exercises or have a larger range of exercises to choose from. Tried to add push-ups to a workout but it was unavailable as an exercise as well as a few other exercises I would think would be common place. However, I emailed the team of the app that works with these issues and they got back to me right away. This is a new app so it has a few kinks to “workout” 😉 but I’m sure it will quickly do that and achieve so much more! Love the app Joe and Fahad and keep it up!

Would give 6 stars if I could.

My wife and I just paid for a year of the app each. We are 1 year into our fitness journey with very different goals, and had both felt like we had hit a wall. This app gave us the extra knowledge we needed to to overcome that plateau. The biggest game changer that this app introduced to me was the “full body” program that it generated. I always thought I needed to dedicate a full workout to just upper body or just legs etc. The full body program has allowed me to go into each exercise completely fresh and thus resulting in me being able to lift more weight and hit progressive overload more frequently. It also reduced my overall end-of-session fatigue and the LEG DAY DREAD! This app reignited the fire in us and we now really look forward to going to the gym again! What I would LOVE to see added to the app: Stretches that pertain to the session we are about to do have just completed, or just a stretching program of any kind really. We are both still new to strength training and honestly have no idea how to properly stretch nor do we know how long we should be stretching for or if we should be stretching before or after, or both etc etc.

The Best Workout Tracker with caveats

I love this tracker and it’s the best one yet. ✅Design is the most modern of all the apps I have tried ✅Love the feedback of what muscles might be growing but there are a few things **THE ONE BUG I FOUND** The one bug I found was that the app does not track 45 degree barbell bent over rows as a lat exercise. So it’s not tracked in the total lat volume. **FEATURES MISSING** 1. If you like pyramid training you are out of luck the app auto fills the sets based on the one you are on. So there currently is not a way to manually input different rep schemes unless you do it manually and update them yourself. 2. I wish there was an option to save my favorite generated workouts so I could have a list of workouts 3. The app doesn’t give you an option to do 3 days on and then one day off if you pick the 5 day workout. It just does 2 days on then one day off. 4. I don’t see any Apple Watch integration so it’s not tracking your calories burned or connected to the apple health app. 5. There is no way to track cardio in the app. 6. No analytics to see my workouts across the weeks or any data points. Overall the app is great and looks better I just wish it had all the analytics and integrations to really make this app be THE workout app you should use.

It’s the little things

AI learned behavior interactivity in apps isn’t new, but it is finally becoming common. This is by far the best example that I’ve encountered. Obviously program generation and adaptation is the key benefit, but I am impressed with the little details. The way that each exercise has a simple to access movement animation reference, the ease of adding a set or changing weights/reps, the way each exercise collapses to maximize visual real estate after you finish each one, the intuitive way you can select the exercise and replace it with something else (smart suggestions are pushed to the top). I could go on and on. This app quickly made it to the first page on my phone and I have been evangelical about it with my girlfriend. Highly recommend.

Tried a lot of workout apps and this is by far, my favorite.

I’ve been going to the gym and following Joe Delaney for a couple of years. I’ve tried a lot of workout training and gym apps and finally decided to try this one. And I have to say, it’s my favorite one that I’ve ever used. I love the simplicity, minimalistic design, and effectiveness of it. Very well done and jam packed with a ton of intuitive and awesome features. It really feels like they thought of everything. Some of my favorite features are: The ability to generate your program split, the ability to customize and swap out exercises for similar ones that target the same muscles based on the availability of equipment, the simple tutorial videos that accompany each exercise, the effectiveness and priority ratings of each exercise, the research and information put into everything and easily accessible to you, the timed rest intervals between sets and exercises, the motivational notifications throughout your workout, and of course the ability to track your progress and the push feature that recommends progressive overload. It seems to be effective too! Joe Delaney is my hero!

Excellent

I’ve tried them all. Every fitness tracker. And this is the best one. Science based. Automatic AI program building. Takes into account not just the basic height and weight, but other key details like sleep, stress, recovery, years of training, etc. Includes research and sources. Has a huge variety of exercises and customizable programs. This has everything you’d need, can’t say I’d prefer anything more. One feature I’d like to see added though - the ability to either add custom exercises and/or adjust a workout fully. As someone with experience sometimes I want to adapt from the expected programming. That said, I’m a certified PT and it makes me really happy that people will be getting access to this level of a fitness app. Great job.

AutoPay after trial

I will start with the fact this app is well put together and with time, after a few additions/iterations it will be very very useful for beginner or experienced lifters alike. But; Be careful when downloading the free trial. It states you will be given a notification to cancel or adjust your payment plan before you are charged so I thought I’d give it a go. Unfortunately the notification only pops up inside the app so you wont get a notification if you happen to not train that day and don't have the app open. I’ve applied for a refund and may come back to the app after a few months when the kinks are a little more ironed out!

For me? Life changing

Never write reviews but have to say - amazing job by Joe and the team on this one. I’ve been a consumer of fitness content for a long time, but was never able to find, let alone stick to, a routine that I felt good about. That problem is gone after using this for a month. The design, AI features, and clarity of information here all come together to make the fitness tracking experience so easy it’s criminal. It’s also educational and easy to use, so important for an app like this. Do yourself a favor and use it!

Amazing UI, needs customization

I love how easy it is to dial in the weight/reps for each exercise as you’re doing the workout, and the rest counter between sets is also nice. The insights about which muscles are growing is great too. It’s frustrating at times though because while it does let you add new exercises to particular days, it’s very much built around the program it auto-generates for you. I’m doing an Upper/Lower split at the moment, but it’s difficult to implement my own sequence of exercises for each workout day into my own program. Also, it doesn’t let you add an exercise unless it already has it in its database, which is limited. Would be excellent to simply have “add custom exercise” and then you could create your own.

The only workout app that I’ve stuck with

I’ve been using this app for about 6 months now and I keep coming back. I’ve used just about every other app on the market, but this is the best. The ability to learn why you’re doing specific exercises coupled with the progressive overload is my favorite feature. Being able to quickly edit parts of a workout that day of, or changing whole sets and rep ranges for the routine in general is also a major reason I prefer Push.

My Workout Journal: Optimized for Growth

Been using this app for 20+ weeks straight and I can’t imagine ever needing to use anything else. Well worth the subscription just for the data collection and progressive overload algorithms. Feedback - bugs. Sometimes exercises will have 5lbs as the suggested weight for the exercise. It just looks like it hasn’t loaded user data. - "Insights" - Can sometimes look bugged immediately after a workout. - “Insights” - based on the last 7 days. I rely on this feature a lot. Can you make it so that this is based on calendar days instead of workout days? Some days I have a double workout and upon completing the second one it progresses the days again, so I’m not able to accurately see how much I’ve worked a muscle group in a week since some days get bumped off after a workout. Keep it up. Thanks for this app.

Decent, No Frills

Been using about a week now. Was pretty much exactly what I was looking for. No frills training plan for weightlifting at an affordable price. Would be nice to have a “keep screen awake” function when using the app. As someone who does a significant amount a cardio training as well it would be good to have a space to input that training…or have it read your Apple fitness activity and incorporate the data into training/recovery plans.

Hidden gem of fitness apps

I was looking for a workout app that was based on science and had pre-built programs and this is it! I’ve tested Fitbod, Workout, Gymaholic, and many others and this is my favorite so far. It has great plans, easy tracking, and very responsive customer support. What’s more important is that everything the app tells you is research based and not just a bunch of opinions or data scraped off of the internet. Highly recommend.

Gains made easy!!!

This is a truly amazing app that makes it so simple to make epic gains. You can choose which muscles you want to prioritize, choose how many days a week you want to train, choose what kind of split you want to run and the app creates a custom program for you! The program is designed by science to maximize your muscle growth potential. I'm making awesome gains and I'm super grateful for this app! Much love to the creators. Highly reccommend. 🤝🤝🤝

Great for both advanced customizers and people looking for complete automation

Very satisfied with app. Only suggestion is ability to see the schedule more than a week at a time (appreciating the algorithm may suggest changes along the way) in order to plan you lift days in advance - especially if you’re trying to balance lifting and cardio. Great app. Highly recommend.

Disappointed

I love the IDEA of this app but the execution and functionality needs work. There are so many bugs making it extremely difficult to properly track my workouts. I would have better luck just tracking in my notes. The feature I have found most useful is swapping out exercises. I’m not always confident in figuring out which exercises will give me the same benefit so PUSH does the thinking for me. This is an expensive subscription for not working properly or tracking my weight progression properly. I will not be renewing.

Almost perfect

I love this app, but it really needs an Apple Watch app. I’m trying to eliminate my phone from my workouts and having to take it out after every set is frustrating. An Apple Watch app with the ability to tick exercises done would be immensely helpful. Also, being able to program a top set along with back off sets would be nice without the algorithm thinking you’re stalling for completing lower weight/ reps for every set.

More Features

Decent tracking app to use to record lifts and see progression. Few things I would like to see changed: ability to change the warm up weight, a section to be able to view and record cardio exercises. Something else that would be cool to see is a bare bones calorie tracker with the app, somewhere to just place your own tracked calories. It’s a very good app, but many places to improve to really justify the price imo.

2 weeks ago, FooledAgainAndAgain

It’s asking for a sign up with a seven day free trial right out the gate before I even get to see the functionality, exercises or sets. Has a slightly goofy “which muscle area to focus on,” “just pick 2”, to start with. I’m headed into the gym today after shoulders yesterday and arms day before, which means legs today, but I would pick arms and shoulders for the app. So will it even give me an option to choose leg exercises today? Not going to find out, seems like unwise timing. Maybe I’ll come back some other day to try it. But with 100% unknowns, seems like the timing won’t ever be right.

Doesn’t save custom weight in history

Doing bicep curls, I did 10 lbs for a while, then when I wanted to increase to 12.5, it recommended 15 lbs. I’m assuming this is due to the fact that it doesn’t have a 12.5 increment. However, when I overwrite the recommended weight with a custom typed in 12.5 lbs, it reverts back to either 10 or 15 lbs in my history.

My Favorite

This is for sure my favorite of any workout planner/tracker. The app actually suggests smart moves for the next workouts as far as Set, Rep and Weight changes to keep you improving. A huge improvement from the generic AI workout builder. Big Ups to Joe for a stellar app. Excited to see where the updates will take this!!

This app is worth it

Great idea and execution with this app. Gives me a lifting program to start with based on my criteria, lets me make adjustments or changes, super easy to track my lifts during a workout, and gives me the ability to track my progress over time. Highly recommended!

Enjoying it so far

Been using this app for a couple months now and am really liking the workouts it generates. My only complaint would be that it’s missing some exercises that I honestly think were surprising to find missing.

Very cool

Really enjoying using the apps. I work best when I can follow a plan, and this app has been working out perfectly. Plenty of substitution options for working out the same muscles when you don’t have access to certain equipment

Exactly what you need and nothing more

This app does an amazing job at designing a program and implementing progressive overload for you. Being able to quickly see your weekly volume and adjust workouts to add or subtract volume for certain muscles is AWESOME. Well done.

Just starting with the app

Like it so far. Like the routines, the ability to swap exercises (have back issues need to adjust for). Like the animations provided for instruction. Will see how the auto adjustments go. Would like the ability to record cardio like biking, running, and swimming as this will impact my weight lifting.

An actually good influencer fitness app

I enjoy the emphasis on progressive overload and science based progression. Definitely beats notepad and/or excel. Haven’t bothered trying anyone else’s fitness app as I feel like too many are just ports of cookie cutter pdf fitness plans. Happy to support Joey D and progress in the process.

Love it!

Great! I’ve been using since it was first released. Perfect for me since I go to different gyms and can switch exercises based on equipment. Only thing I would add is a calendar view for past workouts. Great app!

Great app

I was recommended Push by a JD vid. I like how I can get to the gym and not think too hard about setting my own progressive overload and keeping track of lifts. The app does it for you.

Good concept, but buggy

I like the concept of the app and I’m trying to stick with it. However, there are quite a few bugs that make the experience of using it less than ideal. I’ve submitted the bugs to support, but support seems to be fairly non-responsive.

I’ve been looking for a simple but effective app for hypertrophy but couldn’t find one I liked. Push checks all the boxes.

Excellent app

Love this app. It’s great for automatically tracking progress and natural progressive overload. Only suggestion: it would be great to have more of a selection of dumbell exercises

Has some issues.

Overall I love the app. However the latest update has caused it to constantly crash for me. I can’t get through a single exercise without it crashing and resetting my workout

Push

This is the first app I’ve ever written a review for. I’ve spent a lot of money on programs, over 300$ in a year. This is by far the best I’ve found.

Wonderful

So far so goood. 1 week into a trial period, and Imblivin the versatility and ease of use with the ai tool giving you workouts based on prior lifts and progression. Good job Joey

Glitchy

Super glitch. Tried to generate a program 6 different times with no success…I then changed my days of training and it worked…so obviously needs to be fixed. Inside the app, it’s even more glitchy when starting a workout, logging it, and trying to generate a new workout.

Doesnt work

Very frustrating onboarding experience, followed the initial screens, selected the trial and then the app does nothing because you cant login, and if you tap the “Start” button you start over and end up in a very annoying loop.

Good, but just a little lacking in exercise variety

there are some slightly more niche exercises like rack pulls that arent available on the app, but otherwise nice

Great app. Until yesterdays update. They made the font thinner and smaller. Therefore I can’t see the numbers unless I wear reading glasses. I don’t plan on wearing readers at the gym. Guess I need to find a new app. To bad I teally liked this app.

Application not ready

1) billed me a full year and next month billed a month 2) support does not respond….ever! 3) application scheduled 2 of the same exercise two days in a row. 4) example videos require you to click twice to get them to play. 5). Fonts for critical items like time remaining are way too small 6) No application for iWatch That’s enough for now
