I’ve been using StrongLifts for 12 months. I love that it’s a simple workout with easy to use interface. Forget the fads - just stick to the large big movement and stay consistent. When I went from 1-2 workouts a week to 3 consistent workouts I saw a rapid gain in strength. I like that you can add some of your own exercises. The only suggestion is that added exercise should be able to be categorised as cable or dumbbells rather than just Bar or body weight, but this is a very minor thing. Once I had to get support as I had lost the in app Powerpack purchase. I had a response in less than 48hrs and was able to solve the problem quickly. I’ve put some friends onto this app. They are encouraged by the fact that that even though I’m smaller, I can out lift them!
Amazing support and a great exercise routine!!!

Ok so I thought I had an issue with my subscription I sent off an email expecting I wouldn’t get a response for weeks at best. Mehdi contacted within hours. Fixed the issue no problem. I’d like to add this is the only work out that has worked for me. It’s simple, fun, and IT WORKS. I particularly love how each time you go to the gym you add just a little weight. Getting started is the hardest bit. Initially your lifting light and it’s easy to make that start. You feel good and strong after a few weeks, by the time it gets hard your addicted. You don’t want to miss a work out because you want to add weight. Your body adapts as you lift more. Thanks again Mehdi
Love this app!

Can’t recommend this app or this program high enough to anyone that’s looking to start training and isn’t sure how. SL5x5 walks you through every exercise and workout making it super easy. The app will tell you when to increase your load, when to reload and even tell you how much weight to put on the bar, so you don’t have to do the math. Best of all it has a great apple watch app making it easier to record your lifts, whilst also tracking your heart rate as you work out.I've found this program really enjoyable and flexible enough so that you can progress as fast or slow as you need.
(Nearly) Perfect App

Great app. Tried them all (well dozen or more), but this strikes the right balance between simplicity and comprehensive. Love the planning & timer etc etc. Two gripes; there are bugs - editing a custom 6-day over two week plan, and the dates keep changing (and back again) when manually assigning day. Very annoying. Second, the sync between devices (ipad/phone/watch) is flakey with it frequently not acknowledging a change on the additional devices. And lastly, a suggestion; it’d be great to have an hrm readout on the screen (and recorded?) so if we’re doing emotm workouts we oldies don’t die!
