I’m a PE teacher, and have been a runner, cyclist, swimmer since a young teenager. I have never desired help with my fitness before, because I could always turn to my cardio activities and feel great. Then I turned 40, and I could feel my body composition changing. I knew I needed to add more strength training into my life, but I was not motivated to stick to any type of plan. Enter Erin Oprea’s Pretty Muscles app! I’m obsessed! I’ve spent over 315 days using the app workouts, including one of her challenges. I love the way she designs her workouts. She combines movements and opposing muscle groups for maximum impact, and uses “fun” games to keep exercising interesting (I usually only think they’re fun after I’m done because I’m working so hard during!). I adore the way she talks through each exercise as I continually make form improvements, and can literally feel the change the second I adjust my body. I enjoy the Community aspect as well, as I now look forward to seeing those familiar faces of other consistent app users. I feel inspired to watch and support their journeys, and encouraged when they comment on mine. Plus, there’s a nutrition section with loads of recipes! She removes all of the hard work of planning, so all you have to do is open the app and DO the hard work of working on yourself. I have many less-fit friends who have subscribed, and they appreciate the modifications and are now appreciating their new pretty muscles! Highly recommend-you won’t regret it!

I’m on day 310 of the pretty muscles app and have watched my body transform. The app is easy to operate, has a great layout, and can be used from anywhere. I initially downloaded the app when I was traveling a lot for work and working out in hotel gyms. The pandemic hit and my driveway with my Erin Oprea app became my workout oasis. I used to be an avid gym goer - paying $170+ per month for bootcamp gyms, yoga, barre, cycling, or kickboxing classes. I’ve truly been to every gym in my city and tried every kind of workout. My body has transformed the most by working out with Erin Oprea in my driveway (not to mention, I have a great tan). I haven’t been in a gym since I became consistent with her app workouts. I encourage everyone to give this app a try. Use every part of it - the workouts, the games, the playlists, and the recipes. If you need alternatives to certain moves, she has them in the app. I’ve had reconstructive knee surgery and neck/back sensitivity - I do some of the alternative moves and have achieved great results. I’m proud again to wear a tank top with my arms, I receive compliments on my legs frequently, and I’m no longer tentative to throw on a swimsuit! Even my doctor commented on how fit I am - and I’ve accomplished it all through using her app in the driveway or my living room.

I am a few days into using the app and the content is really great and I am getting an awesome workout each time. I love that you can make each set as hard or easy as you want and for the majority of the sets you can go at a pace comfortable to you. Some things that would make the app better strictly technologically speaking are things like starting your workout and having an optional automatic mode that after a certain amount of elapsed time will automatically move onto the next workout (maybe a small countdown area on each set). I find it just a little inconvenient to have to go over to the app every time and click to move onto the next workout. I’ve had some issues moving out of the app to change a song and the workout restarting on me, not a big deal to me because I can easily click through to get back to where I was but might be for others. I’ve also had trouble within the profile settings - being able to add in information and save it or go back to the setting page from there. The back arrow and check mark to save what I’ve input has a bug and is super high up so you can’t actually click either button. Excited for more content to be added and would love a section dedicated to legs, we are all striving for those Carrie Underwood / Kacey Musgraves gams.

I’ve been following Erin for a while on instagram and finally caved and bought the app. So worth it! I usually work out at home. I love that this is a steady routine. I don’t have to think about it. This app pushes me to do more and do it more consistently. I look forward to doing it everyday and never get bored. There are a few small pieces of equipment that you need but most you probably have already. I happened to have everything. I’m so happy I started this and am starting to see changes already after two weeks. The only complaint I have and it’s really more of a preference is with the meal planning. Either you follow the set meals or you can make up your own plan using their meals. I hate that when you look through meals to make a plan it’s just one long list. I wish the meals were divided into breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks. The meals that are suggested are really good and easy to make. I just wish they were easier to navigate. I would highly recommend this app and it’s definitely cheaper than a gym membership. I’ve only been doing Erin’s original workout plan. There are so many more available I haven’t even checked out yet. Still worth the money if I only ever just used the one workout plan!
