Tone It Up: Workout & Fitness 4+

WORTH 👏🏼 IT 👏🏼

Ok full disclosure, this is the first app rating I’ve ever given, mostly because I’ve waited far too long to give kudos to TIU and how it changed my life. Probably overkill with the cheesiness, but I swear to you I RELY on their workouts. I’ve done a ton of their programs and credit them to helping me gain strength, better posture and better recipe ideas. I do barre and run regularly and so the best thing about this app is having so many varieties and options of workouts to choose from when I need something else. I never used to do yoga and now I love it. I also never did weight training, especially at home, and I’ve never felt stronger in my life. I also credit TIU to helping me drop 20 lbs before my wedding 👏🏼

All the programs, workouts and even recipes are amazing. Stef is the only instructor I avoid and only because her content is cringe and clunky and “just shake it out shake it out” said over and over again is annoying. I actually have tried to many times to restart one of her workouts and I have to choose anyone else, she just doesn’t suit their brand and lacks confidence as an instructor. Everyone else is great though, Kat is obviously a fan fave and I could replay her workouts over and over again without getting sick of it. I’m on round 2 of the 6:40 program (literally finished and restarted it all over again) because I loved it so much.

Thank you to the TIU community and for helping me! You won’t regret spending the money for this app ♥️♥️♥️

Absolutely Love, but...

Update: bug is fixed. I’m in LOVE!!!!

I seriously can’t say how much I love this update. I understand there are mixed views on it, but it totally works for me. So it’s important to note: like and do what is best for you! With the old version, I had a hard time staying committed to the class schedules. But with this program-style, I can take my workouts to the gym during the early mornings. And I love having the access to recipes that were available on the TIU website and Nutrition Plan (note for users: the recipes on the app were on the website as sneak peaks into the plan. Not all recipes from the plan are on the app.)
The reason for the 3 stars is that all of a sudden my app began crashing as soon as I tried opening it while at the gym. It’s because I’m not connected to WiFi. And wherever I’m working out (unless very occasionally at home) I don’t have access to WiFi. So that really puts a damper on me trying to complete the program or use the app at all. It’s almost a waste of my subscription.
Now this wasn’t happening as soon as I downloaded it. I used the app twice at my gyms when I first downloaded it, and that’s why I fell in love with the update. So I reached out to customer service, and they are working on the bug, but it’s taking a little longer than it should be... so if and when this issue is resolved, I’ll change my star-rating. But for now, it’s subpar.

Love TIU

Love TIU. Great workouts that are quick and effective. I give it 4 stars for two reasons. One being that if my phone rings during the middle of a scheduled class that I’m in the process Of doing ... I get kicked out and the whole entire workout starts over ... from the beginning. Very very annoying. My second gripe is with the new updated app ... you can no longer schedule your weeks worth of workouts. That was very disappointing to me. As someone that struggles with motivation... setting my weekly classes and goals was HUGE. It kept me accountable. Now I’m in charge of finding my own workouts I wanna do daily lol. That is gonna be a struggle for me. I’m more of a “tell me what we’re doing today” kind of worker outer lol. Also, with the new app and whole “chose a program” feature ... the one I chose ... I needed gym equipment for. That was also a little frustrating since I no longer have my gym membership and don’t own a “leg extension machine” 😂. I’m feeling torn on continuing with my membership. TIU has definitely helped to get back in shape and I really love the work outs ... just some of my favorite features have disappeared/changed.

Update: Still feeling bummed I cannot track how many times a week I’m working out. Unless you do a “program” there is no way to track your weekly workouts. My days/weeks tend to blur together and since I now mostly just do videos out of the “on demand section” I tend to have no idea by Mid week how many days I’ve done.
