Alive by Whitney Simmons 4+

Loving it!

I am fairly new to the gym because in the past I was so intimidated by all the machines and people but this app plus encouragement from my husband has changed everything for me! I started going to the gym with my husband and doing his intense workouts with him that seemed a bit much for me. Once I felt a little more confident I went searching for an app I could use to venture out on my own at the gym. I tried a different app at first and it was ok but I didn’t feel it was helpful for me in a gym setting. Whitney had popped up on my tik tok and I started following her during this time. I felt really connected to Whitney’s message that it’s a great day to be alive and bubbly personality. I saw that her app had a free 7 day trial so I signed up! Nervously I brought my phone to the gym and followed one workout and it was great 🙌🏻 I loved that there is a warm up and cool down along with the workout and that there are video cues plus the breaks between each set and exercise. The one tiny thing I’d love to see is tips on how to do the exercises. This is my third month using the app and I’m on my second program. On top of the confidence I’ve built at the gym from having the guidance of this app, I’ve also seen amazing results! I have yet to dive into the mental health aspects of the app just yet but I love that it’s built in with building a healthy body. Overall the Alive app is fantastic and I can’t recommend it enough!

ALL HAIL WHITNEY OUR QUEEN👑

Honest review from someone who suffers from anxiety and has had a full hip replacement in the last year. After completing my PT I was told to continue working out to keep the lingering pain away. I knew for me that meant weight training, but it’s honestly so overwhelming walking into the gym. Whitney has laid out work out plans that are great for various different levels. I love the alternative workouts for each set if you are struggling with one form. I appreciate that you can keep track of the weight you’ve used through the app and the timed rest between each rep are EVERYTHING! I will admit I do prefer using the app when I have my watch linked! It makes everything easier and keeps me from using my phone every second. The only con is that there isn’t an in depth explanation of the correct form, this app isn’t designed for someone who’s never worked out before. I constantly watch the clips and for me that’s enough to figure out my form. But if you haven’t ever been to the gym before I recommend watching some videos of correct form and studying that before using the app. That being said it is SOOOO much cheaper than having a personal trainer and you honestly you are getting SO much more than a personal trainer offers. (In my opinion from someone who’s paid for a trainer before!)

Thank you so much for such an amazing review!

SO GOOD WHIT!!

First of all WOW! I have been using the alive app for awhile now. I love the workouts and they are very nicely set up and easy to navigate. They make me feel strong and accomplished! Recently since I am staying at home away from the gyms I have done a few days of the new alive inside program. Let me just say, these are CHALLENGING. I started working out consistently 5 times a week about three months ago. I bet there is a lot of people like me who had to work really hard to create the habit of going to the gym weekly. When all this craziness hit and the gyms shut down, I was so worried about losing my progress and goals that I have set. I have been using the alive app ever since it came out and decided to open it back up to do a dumbbell only workout that I have previously done at my gym. I was pleasantly surprised to see that whit released an at home program. It it set up so perfectly and truly helps me stay motivated and organized. (Which is very important for me). It even lays out my rest days. Which is awesome. I love how these workouts aren’t overkill and too long. The workouts aren’t boring and don’t make you “hate” home workouts. Which I always used to say. With that being said they do still get the job done. Your amazing! Thanks whit! ❤️
