This app really helps build your regiment to a solid routine. I’ve tried many exercise apps and imo fitness22 has the best programs overall. I had trouble when returning from a hiatus because my app would only allow the trial version even though I purchased a bundle of apps. If you have this issue just go into settings through the app itself and restore purchases then kill app and restart. Once you open again after restoring it should be open all the way to the 10 week mark if you originally had it and/or payed for it. Keep in mind when you restore the purchases it might say that you have nothing to restore or something similar but tap ok and proceed to kill app and reopen. This has to be done for each app that may be glitched into a trial mode.

I previously purchased the full version of this app and several others by Fitness 22 in a bundle. I was using and enjoying them but took a break from them for a couple months. Now I decide it’s time to start exercising again, open the app to pick back up where I left off (the beginning of week 5), and instead I’m greeted by a page asking me to start a subscription. I try to restore my purchases and am told I haven’t made any. The app remembers all of my progress so I know this isn’t an account glitch, it’s the developers trying to get me to pay for something I have already payed for. I enjoyed these apps, they were helpful in that they made it easy to follow a fitness plan of gradually increasing difficulty without having to plan it out myself. That was worth the $15 I believe I payed when I purchased the bundle. But are they worth a recurring payment? I think not. And I think it’s worth mentioning that it is not made clear whether the subscription is for just the one app or for the whole family of apps. If it’s just the one, then it is DEFINITELY not worth it. Just google a push up plan, you’ll get all the info and probably more context for it than you will from this.

I’ve been using this app for four months and I like the training schedule it takes me through. It’s been years since I’ve done push ups or bench press or any resistance training. I had doubts of ever being able to do push-ups. After following this app I can now do close to 100-push ups, granted it’s spread out over 5-sets. I’ve tried the other apps and they’re too vague or too aggressive in their training schedule. I recommend this app for people who want to get back into being able to do push ups or wants to get started doing them. By the way I’m no spring chicken anymore so you can do it regardless of your age.

If you can already do push-ups, this might not be for you. I thought it helped build you up to 100 push-ups in a row. Nope! In its 10 week program, it builds you up to doing 20 push-ups in a row, 5 times (sequentially), with breaks between each set of 20. I’m 42 years old and not in great muscular shape but still thought this to be laughable considering this was the advanced setting. If doing a few push-ups exhausts you and/or maybe if you have no ability to do 20 push-ups without some coaching, then this might be helpful. For myself, I could do this on my own in a week. I’m just not motivated and find apps helpful to reach goals; however, doing 5 sets of 20 push-ups is not a goal I have, especially a 10 week goal. Thankfully I only wasted $2.99 on this.
