CGX 4+

I have used apps here and there in the past with varied success, mostly due to my own commitment. And now after getting serious in my 30s about sticking to a healthy lifestyle and fitness journey, this app has become a perfect tool for me. It’s not too busy which I love. I did have some issues with the app initially when I tried to add a program to the calendar. It was very frustrating. I ended up having to one by one delete the scheduled workouts (50 days worth) which was a pain. But after just abandoning that method and just playing the workout within the program I’m following when I’m ready to workout, I have had a great experiences. It has very solid workout as well as other resources that those who are new to a healthy lifestyle may find useful. Some of the articles could be better streamlined, as they can be a bit wordy, but for me personally they are not the reason I use the app. It’s been so easy to stay consistent and see gains without the burden of planning my own workout routines. The rotations through the major muscle groups, periodic HIIT/cardio focused days and so on are perfect. I can’t overstate how effective it’s been for me to just get myself to the gym and press play.

Kane, thank you so much for your incredible review! 💯👊

CGX is a wonderful app. It is so nice to finally look forward to at home workouts again! The workouts are challenging but completely customizable so you can go at your own pace. The best part is that she doesn’t talk during the actual workout. She gives you an overview at the beginning but then you only need to follow the beeps. Which allows you to zone out and focus on your workout rather than the screen. A few suggestions I would make is for the workouts to somehow show as completed after they are finished. Especially the ones in the 10 week programs. It is very easy to mix up where you are at in the program since they don’t have any indication of what has already been done. Also, an internal calendar would be nice in order to track your progress within the app. It does show a count of workouts completed but that’s about all you see. Would be great if you could view and share what your week/month/year looked like using the app.

Hey there, thank you so much for your kind words! We're so glad to hear that CGX is helping you enjoy your home workouts again 🥰 And we love your suggestions – thanks for sharing those! We'll pass those across to our teams.

I am enjoying the beast mode program but I'm kind of disappointed that the app doesn't include all her YT workouts. It's also kind of annoying that when you start a program it doesn't automatically take you to the next workout when you finish one. For example, I'm on beast mode day 7. When I go into the app to start my workout, I have to find the program, then scroll to down to whichever day I'm on. Maybe it's not big deal, but it is just really annoying to me. I would LOVE a feature that has recommendations for alternative workouts to incorporate a cable machine or more equipment (ie instead of db row, do cable rows). I love her videos but I feel like it's hard to incorporate some of my equipment.

A feature to add more rest time between lifts/ sets would also be great (Ladder app offers this) and maybe an add on of 10 min abs or HIT as an option when you finish your workout (a feature BODi offers) Adding in/ teaming up with my fitness pal or something similar for counting macros/ calories would also be a nice touch, but that's not a big deal really. I love CG YT and just really wish the app had more to it. Just some ideas to help take the app to the next level. CG is my absolute favorite trainer and I'd love to get more out of her app.

Hey there, thanks for sharing your feedback and ideas, we really appreciate it! Watch this space 😊💪
