Great app!

This app works great, easy to use and keeps you on track. Especially like the built in rest timer - rest time is never long enough when self calculated.

It’s a mixed bag.

Overall it’s an okay app. I like the timer and the auto calculations feature. I like that I can add in custom assistance exercises. I don’t like that I can’t add weight values to assistance exercises lower than 45 lbs (there’s a big range between body weight and 45 lbs, especially for some assistance exercises). I don’t like that there’s no option to add notes, either to exercises or the whole workout. App also tends to glitch a lot and you have to cancel and restart a workout to fix it. Overall these imperfections make it come off like a cheap paint-by-numbers development. I’m going to be looking for others after my cycle is over.

I purchased the bundle with all of the running apps 4 years ago, but now due to their subscription model they have taken away the program from those who already paid for it. I feel taken advantage of, charging nearly $15 for a software bundle only to make it unusable due to a business model change. It’s unfortunate that everything has gone to a “subscription model.” Especially when the model doesn’t really give anything new from what was previously available. Stay clear, there’s better options out there.

We apologize for any frustration you may have experienced with the change to a subscription model. We understand that this can be difficult, and we want to assure you that we made this decision with the best interests of our users in mind. We've added many new features, including music streaming, which we believe enhances the overall user experience. Please email us at contactus@zenlabsfitness.com with your original download date receipt, and we’ll certainly do our best to work with you. Thank you for your understanding.

I’d expect more from a paid subscription

The workout ceases to follow the 5/3/1/Deload rotation after the first cycle, and gets stuck in the 3x5 after that. The only way to fix it is to start the program over, which requires wiping your data from the app.Also, there is no mechanism to get your plan to adapt if you find the weights laid out by the app are too light.
