I’ve been a competitive CrossFitter for way too long. 7.5 years to be exact. I’ve been wanting to take a break from the constant grind and try something else for the past two years. I just want sure what that something else would be. I hated the idea of not committing to a program and just floating on my own. I finally got the courage to leave my box and start the 5 day a week naked commercial program a week ago. And so far…I LOVE it. It’s exactly the change I never knew I needed to badly. I absolutely love the programming. It’s effective, but not as destructive as CrossFit training. It’s the perfect balance between strength and conditioning. The warm ups are awesome and really get you prepared for what comes next. This is a great program for those who already have a solid fitness foundation and are looking for structure, but not as much structure as CrossFit classes provide. I can’t believe it’s so cheap! Also, love the instructional videos. And that the app gives you a stopwatch. Huge help. My only advice would be to make it easier to switch between programs daily. Mostly I’m interested in the commercial program…but I’d like to easily switch between all the programs to see the variety and options.

This is my second time using The Naked Training program and app. The first round, almost 2 years ago, I saw great improvements in both strength and body composition (was using a separate nutrition app). When my schedule changed I canceled and never really thought about it again because I was using other programs or the gym programming. I got an email from the team asking if I’d come back and give it a try, first 5 weeks free. Sure! So, here I am and the app is better than ever with consistently challenging yet doable workouts! The developers and admins quickly answer questions / concerns. The Facebook community is positive and helpful. I have 10 years Crossfit experience so the movements and terminology of the functional program is perfect for me. But sometimes I don’t recognize some of the accessory or warmup activities. The descriptions / coaching are clearly delivered and helpful. I also really appreciate the daily mobility with personal plan based on mobility assessment.

I can attest this program works. Two years ago I was a strict runner. Mind you never at all an athlete. All of a sudden I’m a bodybuilder and I’m a more confident, stronger, physically and mentally changed person. I never would have thought an app, the internal drive and a home gym would change my life. But this program has done all that. There’s challenges throughout the year and really amazing prizes. This app has an extremely friendly, always willing to help customer service and coaches. The Facebook group is also very inspiring because it has beginners up to pros asking and giving advise. You can even try it out for a week to see if you like it and since there’s more than one program within the Naked Training app you’re bound to find one that’s tailored to your specific needs. I’m glad this app exists.

I really like this program. It can come off as intimidating when if you’re a newbie when you first start but if you keep with it, you’ll see there’s actually nothing to be scared of. The best thing about the app and program is the ease of access to the exercises while working out. The built in timer for rest periods come in handy when you’re in the zone and you can just swipe through to the next part when you’re done. The food/meal plan is an awesome source for meal prepping and the facebook community gives awesome recipes. Speaking of them, the community on facebook is the absolute best! So encouraging and knowledgeable and a great way to keep yourself motivated when you feel lost in a workout or life. And although I do enjoy the app I do have some recommendations. I cannot do a pull up, chin up, clapping push ups , etc. My fitness level is just not there with my high body fat percentage. With that being said, it would be nice to have a beginners/ building strength/ basics program. I know a beginners program is in the works so the developers have heard our requests I look forward to that workout option when it arrives. It would also be nice to have modified versions of an exercise readily available in the app for the different movements such as pull ups. Most exercises have a small summary under the name and a quick note of a modified version or alternative listed there would suffice for me. I also think more workout options of the goal/area specific workouts would benefit the program. Like the peaches program but one for upper body/ lower body/ body building.
