Playbook - Trainers & Workouts 4+

Love it worth the money

I’ve joined the DLB daily 6 months ago or more since the first challenge and before that I didn’t really know how to work out properly or what schedule to switch things up and what days to do what and so on. For the money you can’t beat it Way cheaper than a personal trainer and actually probably better than their programs this in my opinion is the best of the best it may be a little tougher than something traditional but you can modify them and go at your own pace. And since it came on this new app it’s too me easier to follow along with the video demonstrations if you don’t know what each exercise is by name and it shows you the correct way to do it I never really got into the at home workouts or the eating part which are on here for no extra price. To me can’t beat it and I like to support DLB since she is a really positive person. BTW I’m a male 30 years old this is for women and men. To sum it all up love it .👍👍

Very good, room for improvement

It’s a a great app and has helped me to get back in good shape. I would love to give 5 stars, especially to the creators making the most of the platform (Magnus for example).

The only issue is with the app support. The built in help request either doesn’t work or the devs don’t respond. Sent numerous requests for help over months period and no reply. (Where should I get these btw app, email?)

Much to like otherwise, there is an amazing amount of quality content from excellent trainers in this app. The trainers put a lot of effort into providing a variety of workouts and there’s something for everyone among this app. It would be great if finding the right content was easier, especially as gyms are closed and many of us are using home gyms or building it up slowly. Not all of the trainers are consistent w what’s needed for their programs and it would actually be nice if I could enter a general list of equipment I have and be provided recommended programs (as do a couple competing apps). Also, journaling your progress w reps / weight will have to be outside the app as it’s not built in. I realize this all is more about the training content but would be great to be all in one and track your progress. A great app for content that is very good overall for training.

Best workout app

I’ve tried a lot of workout apps and this is the best one if you have a gym but don’t know what to do (like me.) It’s the closest to having a personal trainer without the price tag. It’s laid out well, the trainers are really good and I even messaged one on Instagram with a question and they responded. I only have two areas I think it could be improved: My gym, and I assume a lot of people’s gyms, can be very busy. From what I’ve seen most of these workouts are set up for supersets, or two different workouts on different equipment back to back with a rest in between. That’s just not possible in my gym where if I left my dumbbells or cable machine for a second someone would take it. So I wish there were alternate versions addressing this issue. What I’ve done is just do all the exercises with, say, dumbbells, back to back, etc even though it’s not the structure of their program. The other issue I have is there doesn’t seem to be a tracking feature, tracking what weights I started with and throughout. This would be a good optional feature. Otherwise it’s a really well thought out app and I highly recommend it.
