SilverSneakers GO

You have managed to include a LOT of functions into this app. I find some things easier to use than others. I need structure as motivational support so I find scheduling a balanced variety of exercises across a week to be helpful. But little glitches in the app can make that tricky. Scheduling a month is simply not possible. Things just don’t work well for any time period longer than a week. I agree with the review of Guided Workouts; there are technical issues I assume user feedback and constant attention to updates will continue. I like what I can get from the app. I appreciate the range of abilities allowed. As a post car crash rehab patient with bilateral knee replacement followed by full treatment for 2 cancers, this 76 y-o appreciates the VERY gentle beginner level activities. I plan to work at this until I can return to the intermediate level I was pre-accident. If you keep working out the bugs, I plan to use it until the end.

The people behind Silver Sneakers may never able to accurately measure the impact of their master creativity, thoroughness craft programs, engineering in synchronized with cracked , old bones …on an old woman like me. I have a gym membership for some years, but I lived too far from convenient and lack of motivation to go. Moved back to town in April, where internet service is as natural as the air that we breathe, I discovered Live Stream Online Classes by pure accident. I am not exaggerate in saying that Silver Sneakers has thrown me a lifeline. For some times, I feel like my existence rapidly evaporated. The lightness of being insignificant was unbearable. I was all packed, anxiously waiting for the last ride. But I changed my mind. In my totally safe bedroom, in front of a large computer monitor, I learned feet stomping, hands clapping, mostly just stumbled around, utterly silly . The best thing is no one see me !!!

I am a fan of the app and the concept seems good. I use it mainly to schedule and keep track of in person sessions at my fitness center. With the pandemic it hasn’t been much of a help. So I decided to give guided workouts a chance again. They don’t function, if you watch the video for the exercise it messes with the workout. When you hit start it jumps to the next workout. When you hit previous exercise the timer doesn’t always work. The videos show in landscape and the exercises show in portrait mode. I am so frustrated after trying three different workouts that I am not sure that I will try any more. I want a guided workout to go from beginning to end just like an actual in person session. A pause button for rest or equipment would be good but continue where it was before I hit pause. A timer bar or clock would be nice but the instructor count should be sufficient. An equipment list on each exercise screen should be available with a complete list at the start. In general the easy and intermediate seem geared to someone who has never worked out at all.

This is a review of Damaris and her Monday, Wednesday and Friday Zumba Gold class. Since June 1, 2021, I have been a regular enthusiastic participant. I feel 100% better starting my day this way. Through darkness or light, following her happy and strong moves at 5:30 am gives me energy and vision in my goal of living longer to see my grandchildren accomplish their goals. I have never been so committed to being active, although in my 74 years, I have tried many fitness programs. And Silver Sneakers gave it to me. Thank you! Now one small ask: how about more Zumba Gold classes, and have a couple on your recorded classes. I’ve tried other classes, but Fit Steps, which I enjoyed, was too stop and start for me. It’s like the teachers would stop, look at their feeds and preview steps. I just can’t stay in the rhythm of moving. Thank you!

I just downloaded app and getting familiarize with so many options! So far this past week I’ve joined live workouts for 15 minutes and I’m already starting to feel much better, physically and mentally. I’m 80 years old and had a very bad fall last year which left me unable to exercise for one year. I’m so thankful for being able to work out from my home and slowly get to moving again. I’ve done total of 3 live classes and today scheduling more. Also thank you for email reminders and links to get into zoom webinars. One of the classes I joined was too hard to follow but I will join that one later as I get stronger!😀

I find it difficult to use the orientation, as it only offers vertical in one direction. It would be nice if you could see the app horizontally, which is easier to read. Also, filters aren’t very useful if listings don’t provide more detail about services; i.e., If you’re just looking for yoga classes, there’s no filter option for it and even though some of the providers listed offer it, you have to contact each one to find out if they’re having classes or not. There are also filters for acupuncture, massage, chiropractic, etc.; but if you select only those filters, you get “no matching locations“. Maybe those services are available in some locations, but why show them to me in my location if I don’t have the option of using them. This app needs some refinement and updating to make it useful.

I enjoy being able to work out at home. You have such a wonderful variety of classes and ability levels, both live and on line. I am able to try such a large variety of activities that I wouldn’t otherwise be able to sample and enjoy. I love Brenda’s and Jen’s cardio dance. They can break down steps and moves so well. All of your instructors are so personable and excellent! I also use my membership to go to Snap fitness and use the weights and fitness machines several times a week for strength training. Keep up the wonderful work and programs for us seniors! I am 73 and not ready to settle down yet!

This is a good app. I am really enjoying the classesI have done this past week. The various trainers are all fun and encouraging and I am starting to get a feel for my style preferences. I do wish there was a way to get help with class selection as I am not not sure which are best for my needs particularly putting together a program for a 75 yo in decent overall health but who has put on 30 lbs. since covid became an issue and walking 4-5 miles a day is not helping even though my calorie intake is on the low end.

I would love to do more in your app. However I am female with what the majority of senior females problem is and that is incontinance. Having a recent surgery , I am faced with something I have never had before and that is incontinance. I am concentrating on fixing that problem through exercise. However I cannot find any of those aforementioned exercises unless I go on you tube and search them out. The ones that seem to be helping most are the pelvic floor along with kegals and all exercise helps. But I am concentrating on pelvic floor strengthening and I sure would like to find some on silver sneakers app. Thanks

The app is fantastic however I have not yet found out how to get to the store on the app. I have to go to the website. Also I have to sign in every day when I use the app. It doesn’t remember who I am and there is nothing to check to ask the computer to remember me. Otherwise everything you need is there. The classes are fantastic the teachers are even better and the program can’t be beat especially during this Covid time. It would be nice if they could have more on-demand classes like maybe record some of the online classes as they were happening and make them available to members.

I recently started using the Silver Sneakers app and program. I was hesitant and gave every excuse as to why it probably wouldn’t work for me. I’m happy to say all my misgivings were false! I’m one month into the process of trying to lose weight and get healthier. The online programs as well as on site facilities are fantastic! I have plenty of options for workouts and I feel great for the first time in a while. Thank you to all the instructors that help keep us motivated!! I’m excited to see my transformation. Great app and program, I highly recommend it!!

I have enjoyed the zoom webinars the most. The app could be improved. Would like to rate instructors and get info about them as well. The app lets you rate the activity of the class but it is very basic so no real room to critique appropriately. Love being able to get decent workouts at home. Some of the most fun classes with awesome instructors are only offered randomly and rarely. It would be nice to see them more often or have the opportunity to let SS know that one would like to see that happen. In other words, the chance to give constructive feedback is VERY limited. If you email or try to ask questions the responses are automated and generic.

The Fitbit app it a lot easier to use. If this wasn’t linked to rewards, I probably wouldn’t use it. It knows if I sign in from my phone but doesn’t credit my workout to my account if I use my log in from my TV. It’s dumb to have to work out watching a 17” screen when I have an 85” TV. I had to turn off notifications because I was really getting hammered. I do like being able to log all my workouts, short & long. I will hop on the rebounder in front of TV when it strikes my fancy, or put on a music video channel & dance for 30 minutes, just because & so tracking all workouts is a plus. I wish DESPERATELY that we could log workouts in real time. What is the big deal? I find myself waiting for the quarter/half hours to start workouts. If it syncs with my Fitbit eventually, why not? I do think the Fitbit app (unfortunately bought by Google last year) is probably the best user friendly app of its type. This isn’t bad. It’s just not “great.” Being able to enter a real time would go a long way toward improving it.

While Maria is happy, enthusiastic, and positive, it is not one of my favorite classes. The moves are almost exactly the same every time...no new movements, no effort to keep it interesting. I get tired of trying to inhale and exhale about 30 times with Maria...not only is it boring and not a real exercise, but the exhale includes doing”party snake” hand waving and “disco hands”....I have no more breath to exhale after the party snakes. Today we stood on one foot for over 2 minutes while Maria talked about various things....it is good to distract us, but it was too much. I really need a cardio class so I keep coming. I do take Zumba classes also, but they are not always offered when I can take them.

Joined silversneakers a few weeks ago and downloaded the app at the same time. Frankly i’m a little disappointed. The app is not very robust in allowing you different ways of tracking your workouts. For instance, if I go to the gym and work on strength training, aerobics and yoga why can’t I select all three of these items? The app only allows you to select ONE item. And why no duration for the workout performed? I can go for 5 minutes or 2 hours and in the app it makes no difference! If I tell the app I’m visiting the gym ahead of time I can only select “general workout”, or “class” and that’s it! I’d like to know what I did that day for recording purposes. I’ve used better apps..........

We have been doing the live classes since Covid when we stopped going to the YMCA. We like them a lot and never returned to the Y. Many good instructors. I really, really miss my favorite class- Zumba with Demaris. Another instructor said the same thing. I emailed Andi a while back and found out due to copywriting good music can’t be played. Demaris was able to use the best music. Will another Zumba class be brought back into the list? Or any way of getting better music in any classes? Thx!!

I used to use SS by going to the nearby Y and it was great. When I started watching my newborn granddaughter 3 days a week, I stopped. That was 8 years ago. After battling cancer last year and now being in remission, I decided to be healthier in every way. This app lets me do just that. I look forward to my live sessions and in the past month, my energy and strength are increasing. I may be late to rediscovery, but I’m here to stay. Thank you! Ruthe S

So thankful for silver sneaker live classes that is why I am taking the time to let you know my thoughts. I would like to just use the ap but I want to be able to see the class instructors. I also have problems at times joining a class with the ap. There is a rough transition to zoom. Even though it is past start time of class I have to try several times to open to class. I would also prefer to not receive emails confirming or reminding me of classes. Is there a preference setting for this. A text reminder would work better for me. Thanks for all your work💕

This was my first time trying yoga; it was really fun & on some of the positions I could feel the old”Jane Fonda Burn”. The teacher was good explaining what to do on each position. Trying to watch her & doing the position correctly, my. Head wasn’t pointed in the right direction. As I get more comfortable doing yoga I won’t have to watch her as much. The online classes sets a high bar for other good health sites. Silver Sneakers is 5 star & I‘ll recommend it to my Fitbit friends!

I am new to this app and group Silver Sneakers..but im also a typical couch potato..I was hoping to be able to get some suggestions on what is best for my osteoarthritis..I've been working for over 30 years at a desk and I'm not really one to exercise..the bad back 5 blown discs causes much pain but is like to be able to find a way to alleviate it thru some kind of movement program.. So since I don't see an online chat button on the app in disappointed..that's why only 4 stars

These online classes are important to me at age 71-I lost a lot of flexibility and tone during this COVID isolation after our classes stopped. I am grateful for the alternative - I hurt my foot when I first started but am back now. The variety of classes and instructors is first rate. I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because it keeps listing my attendance as incomplete- maybe because I don’t interact before, during, after? I completed every class so far except one which was just too difficult. When we are done exercising I logout!

I’ve never been more happier now that I workout almost daily. Why I didn’t do this while I was younger I don’t know. This has changed me mentally and physically and I’m receiving positive comments from friends and coworkers on how I look. I joined silver sneakers through Anytime Fitness. My instructor is available for me during normal operations and through texting. I’m 63 and feeling younger except for my arthritis almost a new person…Ty for this!!

I have been using Silver Sneakers for about a year now. The app is a great time saver. I like that it keeps my activities and sends a reminder notification without downloading and adding the activities to my calendar. The inability to rotate the app is my primary peeve. The other option that would make it better is if I could add in advance more than one week’s activities. Keep it up, you’re getting there.

I’m sure SilverSneakers is great for some people but I have a disability from a car accident several years ago. I’m only allowed in the water per my doctor. I’m NOT driving to a side of town known for its gang activities nor am I driving to another town over 45 miles away in order to be able to find a participating gym with a pool when there is one less than 5 minutes from me that SilverSneakers no longer participates with. All I’m saying is they need to consider the needs of everyone and not everyone can do exercises that they offer but would love to be able to do water aerobics. SilverSneakers is a useless benefit for me.

Omgosh, I LOVE the Silver Sneakers’ app! It proves that no matter how old you are, it’s never too late to start working out, even if you need low, moderate, or high intensity exercises! I will admit that I have to cancel some sessions due to things I can’t avoid, but the app even makes it so easy to cancel if needed! I appreciate all the work the instructors, schedulers, etc.....put into it; it makes life so much easier!! Thank you for offering Silver Sneakers!!!!

Your Silver Sneakers app makes it possible for me to enjoy top quality yoga classes in my own home! That is important at my age, as it is difficult to find in-person classes close to home. Thanks to great instruction, I can easily adapt the movements to fit my aging body and still achieve a good workout. Many of your classes are too easy, or too jolting; the advanced yoga is the best fit.

I started using this during 2020 and have never stopped. For about a year they have skilled teachers leading different line dancing classes and I love them. Plus there’s a large variet of strength, cardio, stretching and so many others. 7 days a week! There is a focus on performing all of them safely- great for everyone. Highly recommended for anyone eligible.

I love the app and all its functions. However, I do wish there was a way to add a “note to self” when rating the workout. Taking so many classes, I’d like to be able to add notes indicating my like/dislike of the particular instructor. As an example I find I really like a particular instructor for a certain class, Walk String for instance, but not as much for another class, like core conditioning.

I didn’t know about this program until my Mom moved into a 55 and over development in Wildwood, Missouri. My Mom was 87 at the time and if you moved into this community you had this program offered to you Free if charge. My Mom is now 93 and still working out. She said that is what keeps her living so long. This App makes this so easy for Seniors. I wish they had this App for all others. This App is Very user friendly.

The convenience and content of the Silver Sneakers app is great! Having access to such a variety of online, live, classes has increased my mobility. balance, and strength. It took a few weeks to see noticeable improvement, but then one day, bam! I could see and feel a definite difference in how I felt- mentally and physically . I I love the 15 minute sessions! would encourage anyone to make use of the app!

Not all user devices have the ability to turn the chat off. Mine certainly does not. I am extremely disappointed that subscribers find it necessary to throw into chat annoying comments during live exercise sessions. These comments of announcing “they just joined in” or greetings block my visual view of the instructors’ performance of the exercise. Turn the feature off completely and let subscribers use the Q&A with their comments!!!

I enjoy this app for exercises - it’s got a lot of options and variety and is easy to follow. I haven’t tried it (yet) for other than in demand exercise. Biggest complaint: need to sign in every time I use it; and it doesn’t remember my favorite exercises - until after I’ve completed a new exercise session so I have to search for a favorite every single time.

Why did I take so long to start your classes! Wow, I am learning so much about position of body, Favorite is Pilates, but I am also seeing muscles now with your strengthening and sculpturing classes. Trent’s cueing and variety in his classes has hooked me, even if it starts at 5:30am for me….Changing my summer …thank you so much for such excellent teachers and new moves …

I have been using this app a while now, to log my daily exercises. It’s really nice to see my progress during the month, and, to log everything that I do daily. My one wish is, that the time started, could be manually put in, rather than the pre-selected times. Sometimes I don’t begin right at a quarter hour point.

I expected that there would be an option for actual seniors, not skinny fit people who’ve always been fit. Even their lowest level activities were too much for me. I lost motivation very quickly and was very demoralized and disappointed. I was also trying to activate Apple Fitness plus, but found no place in the SS go app to do so. I really HATE exercise, so I need something that starts out with something easy and short, like 5 minutes. And then builds on that as I am able. 😒😢☹️😔😡

Very flexible. Helps me determine my daily routine, offers progression in those routines as I get more fit and provides lots of well-rounded choices to suit my capabilities and needs. I use this 5 or 6 times a week, depending on my schedule, and have been using this since the first of January. I have trimmed 20 lbs of excess weight and feeling really good!

Silver Sneakers has definitely played a large part in my ability to workout to stay fit. My local In-Shape club is a mile from home. I walk there, workout for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, then walk home. When I’m away from home, I can keep my fitness schedule unaltered because I’ve found Silver Sneakers clubs wherever I’ve gone. What a great reward for becoming a senior citizen.

I appreciate the On-line Live classes, especially when traveling, the logging of Community Classes when I attend them at my nearby facility with a SS certified trainer, AND being able to log my own activity/workouts at home, parks, etc! In addition, the seven or so instructors whose online classes I have attended are excellent caring teachers, motivators, and lots of fun! All these options keep me motivated! Thanks!

Silver Sneakers App is easy to navigate for me. I’m still getting acquainted with it, and it probably notes on the app somewhere that Roku TV’s have the app, also. So if one doesn’t wish to join a live class via Zoom, the tv app has a wide selection of prerecorded workouts. The tv app syncs your favorite workouts with your phone app.

It works so well for me. I’m using it at Studio30 and they have a great program for Silver Sneakers. The only draw back is they only have 2 days a week. So I did sign up with Scheu YMCA. That will help pick up my other days. Another would be great if the App could automatically add your workouts. I didn’t know I needed to add my workouts on the site.

This app is great for some things horrible for others. Good for teaching you workouts, locating gyms, and so on. All of that is important. App help when you encounter a problem with it is zilch. I have been trying to log workouts after they are completed and it won’t let me do it. There is probably some simple answer to this problem, but I’m not going to find it in the app. The app is not giving me a message to tell me why it’s refusing to log the workouts. Very frustrating.

Easy to follow and track my progress. I look forward to working out with the beginner flexibility / mobility exercises workout. I had shoulder surgery and this program has increased my range of motion in a short time. I definitely will continue to use this exercise workout. I am looking forward to trying the strength program in the next couple of days.

Love the enormous variety with the all the modifications that is being offered from Silver Sneakers. With express classes I can concentrate more on my movements and the intensity for a better outcome. Thank you for all the new classes and variety of instructors and especially the early morning ones on the weekends.

This app is very user friendly and we can all appreciate that. I like the classes available to sign up for. They make me get going and keep moving. I’m very grateful to GOD for Silver Sneakers helping us: keep moving, keep our bones strong, and get our bodies stronger because if we have honored our mothers and fathers we will have a long life.

The workouts are not the same as the website. Took me forever to discover this for navigating through this app is a pain. You pick a workout and it takes awhile to see if it’s for you. If it’s not you can’t just look at another one you get a message say do you really want to quit. And that’s not the only place you click to do something and it asks you to verify the f that’s what you want the do More trouble then it’s worth.

Unfortunately I am not eligible for membership. While the literature seems to indicate there are free workouts, I keep getting prompted to check my eligibility. I found a few free things but they have no audio or textual instructions. I find thus app mostly a big advertisement for medicare advantage programs. I will just pay for an app or gym membership and keep my current insurance. Also there are many free silver sneaker workouts posted on you tube so there’s that too.

I’m a recovering Covid patient still experiencing joint and muscle pain, so the gentle, beginner workouts suit me very well until I regain full strength. It’s great that there are so many options available to me and that I can work out in the privacy of my own home. I appreciate the reminders which give me the motivation I need to get going.

Tried logging activity but app could not find location. It’s less than 5 miles away from me! Can’t get further since there’s no location. Horrible. No user input. Thank you for your quick response! After developer response, I tried the app again and was pleased! Seems to do all it claims. I would like to see a tab or button for repeat tracking.

I was so excited about having this app because I workout at the Y every day and since COVID I’ve worked out at home. The workouts I’ve tried show a move and you have to manually advance to the next move. I want cardio workout that is complete from beginning to end. This stop-start-mess with my phone-try to keep going approach doesn’t work for me at all. Sooo disappointed. Web site has workouts, but only 8 that I’ve found. Just add some full workouts to the app and everyone can be happy! 😊

I like the way I can find a live Zoom class or locate a video workout anytime. The audio guided walks are helpful for staying focused. As an evening person, I only wish there were more live classes at night, or in the afternoons on weekends. Thanks for creating a great fitness tool.
