Loving this so far! I enjoy the ability to choose how long I want to work out and right now, 20 minutes is perfect! I also like how I can schedule the workouts daily or have them reoccur weekly. I haven’t used the other features yet but I’ve heard only good things so I’m excited to try. My one suggestion would be to have the instructors show the modifications - at one point during barre, the instructor mentioned sitting on the block to avoid ankle pain but didn’t show what she meant, so I wasn’t sure how to sit to ensure I was still getting value from using the block. It could even be a picture of her showing the modification in the corner of the screen as to not interrupt the workout for those who don’t need the extra detail. Also, during Pilates, the instructor mentioned a modification to manage neck pain doing a cervical curl but didn’t explain why it might cause neck pain or how to overcome it. That added insight would’ve been helpful! Another suggestion would be to include a 5-min stretch add-on. When I did the strength workout, there was no stretch after and I’m not sure if that’s because I am doing the 20-min program but having a stretch “workout” I can add to my day’s plan would be great! Finally, and this might be a long shot but I wish we could rate and comment on recipes and see what others have rated them. Nothing I’ve noted here is a lack in the app by any means, just some ideas to make it even better!

I’ve been a SLAM member for several years, and am solidly in the target demographic for Menovation (41 years old, 3.5 years postpartum, and experiencing perimenopause symptoms), so I was very interested in this app as soon as Ashley first announced it. It has not disappointed. You can really tell how much work Ashley and her team put into this app. The UI is great, and there are so many awesome features. I love being able to build my own personal weekly program including multiple different types of workouts and the app keeps track of where I left off and what’s up next. Being able to track my cycle and symptoms within the app is also super handy - now i don’t need a separate app just for that! And the amount of knowledge about peri/menopause being shared here is so wonderful. This is the health class we all need for this stage of life. I love it!

I’ve been watching and waiting for this app for a while. My 39th year of life threw me a few curveballs and now getting ready to enter my 41st year I feel more at peace with slowing it down and being steady. More focused on maintaining flexibility and injury prevention. This app has it all! Already one week of use and I have utilized the flexibility of changing up my schedule (because kids and work and activities for said kids). I love how the schedule shifted the programmed workout for me. I just decided strength or yoga and it changed the programmed workout for me. I also had a programmed strength day, but after having done two shorter strength workouts, I was sore, so I switched it for a yoga schedule instead. It was so easy!! Again, I loved that I didn’t have to figure out which yoga class to do. The app scheduled it for me! I’m excited to explore more, but the shorter workouts (20-30min) and focus on strength and flexibility are what I need now and that brings me joy! This busy life with kids and working in shorter workouts after work will end, but I LOVE having a workout guide to tell me what to do, because goodness knows I make enough decisions in a day already.

I was an OG SLAM user and love this app as well. The best thing by far about Ashley’s apps is the high quality content. Second is the continuous additions and improvements. Clearly this team cares about the details and its users. I look forward to being able to add non-app workouts into the weekly planning element of the app (i.e. a run or maybe even a SLAM workout if I am in the mood for some HITT?!). It would also be amazing if we could switch up the order of the program. I know this is tricky because the order is purposeful, but if I work my back with a trainer one day, it would be great to be able to skip or reorder the workouts in the program to account for that.
