Asana Rebel: Get in Shape 4+

I’m 44 and have been using the Asana Rebel app for several years - and NOTHING comes close. Before then I’d never done yoga-I thought that for a workout to give results it had to HURT! then on Facebook I saw this ad for asana rebel featuring a totally ripped lady, sweaty from what was obviously a tough workout.....and it was for a YOGA app!! Due to problems with my spine I was seriously needing to find a lower impact way to exercise, so I thought I’d give it a try, and I’ve never looked back. This app does EVERYTHING.....there are workouts to burn fat, increase muscle tone, but also to seriously stretch those hard to reach tight places, and also to relax you. These workouts make me feel better, more confident and positive both mentally and physically. I feel calmer, more poised and capable. And for a working mum running a business and currently homeschooling 2 warring kids, feeling calm is a serious achievement! I’d have gone utterly loopy of it weren’t for the 30 minutes or so that I lock myself away for with Asana Rebel!!!!

So great to hear you like the app. Keep up the good work! You can do this! 😀👌

I’ve been using Asana Rebel for around a year now, and while I’ve loved it for the majority of that time, recent changes have left me really disappointed. I really relied on the free daily workout as I am a student and a little overweight, but that has now disappeared, being labelled as a ‘bug fix’. I’ve gotten around that by choosing a different one of the five free workouts everyday. However, tuning in this morning and choosing ‘fat burn’, I discovered that it has changed. There are no previews for each exercise anymore, and the poses aren’t even introduced or explained very well, so I found it very difficult to keep up with the demonstration. Also, the whole workout is now just one set, so if I get lost in the middle of the third exercise , I can’t even restart it, I have to go back to the beginning! Also, some of the poses shown, like puppy pose, despite having the same name, are different to previous workouts. I know yogis do have variations on different poses, but since this is still the same app, I’d have expected some consistency.

I have noticed a change in my body and attitude since using asana rebel, and up until the start of 2018, I would’ve given it 5 stars. As such, the changes in workouts and the limited free option aren’t encouraging me to fork out for a subscription, which I was tempted to do for my New Years resolution. Not all updates are necessarily for the better! As an avid user of the app, I’m pretty disappointed.

The workouts themselves are great and that’s the main point, but it’s annoying to navigate back to where you were, it’s annoying that there is no home page showing for example that you were half way through a challenge so you can just continue where you left off. Instead you get a today page which is annoying if you don’t want to go through a daily list of things. I just want to workout rather than answer a quiz or look at recipes that aren’t relevant to me - in fact, I put in that I’m on a keto diet and the recipes that come up are definitely not keto - again, annoying.

So to get back into my current challenge, which should be somewhere I can immediately access it, instead I have to go back through as if I was just finding it for the first time. Also, if you do one of your challenge workouts but don’t do it from the challenge screen (which I had to do one day as it didn’t log that I had done the previous workout so wouldn’t let me move on to the next, so I had to find it in the main list), it then didn’t register in the challenge that I had done that second workout. So I had to go to the challenge, start it and let it play through so it registered as done. Super annoying.

We really appreciate the constructive feedback! Our team is constantly looking for ways to improve the app. We'll be sure to pass it on to the right people.
