Fitstar Personal Trainer for Android
I really love this app. I had a C-SECTION 6 months ago and I was able to do a lot of workouts and feel a good amount of soreness after so I was really proud of that. My only complaint is that I wish it had an option for postpartum moms. It already has a workout review to see what your physical fitness level is at the beginning so why not add postpartum moms into the mix. See where their fitness level is at and proceed from there.
This along with a Fitbit is an excellent overall program. It has everything to start a program without being beat up and discouraged. Great for the novice exercises are easy and only last 9 min to the more advanced high intensity workouts of 40 min. Because of my charge HR, I am making more of a conscious effort to eat right, get better sleep and more exercise. Every journey starts with a single step.
The videos are well produced and it tries to adapt to your fitness level, and does OK at that. It also integrates well with the Fitbit app. However it's a pain to use if you don't want music. It turns it on automatically and has to be turned off after starting each workout. The sound also completely goes out so that I have to exit and resume my workouts, often repeatedly. The workouts must be completely download before it will begin, so there can be a significant delay before you can actually start the workout.
I love that this app does a fit test when you first start and that the free workouts are designed to help you. I don't like and am angry that I paid for a premium membership and the app doesn't recognize it so now I can't do my workout, I emailed support and received an email saying they will get back to he in 2 or 3 days. I'm not happy
The videos are really useful and I love that it syncs with fitbit. However, I wish you could hear how many reps are left to do as you can't always be looking at the screen. Also, this app would be perfect if you could enter the body parts you want to target and whether you want to lose fat or gain muscle.
I love this! I can pick short workouts when I don't have much time - my favorite part. I also love the fact that, even though I am the only one present in the comforts of my own home while completing this workout, I have a coach talking me through it, and a good example to go by - all through the workout videos!
Fitstar does an excellent job of taking your money and providing nothing in return. Lea and Adrian (the two trainers) are probably being held in a basement somewhere, only seeing the light of day when a motivational video is required. Look closely I bet you can see their signals of distress and requesting help.
This app is kicking my butt! It started out too easy, but it's adjusted based on my feedback. I can still do it, but it's pushing me. And it's never stale. I add my own music over the app, which is?a great feature.
Samsung Note: How did I get this old? I've been working out seriously for several years. This is the first app that made me want to water before I was through. As I was going through the workout, I kept thinking "This isn't too hard." At the end, I was really tired. Not wiped out. Not exhausted. But much more tired than I thought I would be. Had a good sweat going to. This is getting incorporated into my other workout programs. It's a keeper.
I wish I paid more attention and realized sooner that it downloads all of the working videos to your phone. My phone started lagging and I had to manually clear almost 200 videos from my phone's cache. Also I was hoping for more free workouts, or at least no limit to the short, basic ones.
I was really excited to use the app was even trying out the locked workouts but everytime I tried to pay and use them, it would take the payment but not unlock the extras. Just kept saying error has occurred.
So far it's good but I paid for premium and yet everything is still locked for me. Purchased this morning and I did a phone restart. Didn't know where to ask for help so here I am.
I think its awesome... 1 problem is tht it ainy hav enough workouts if u dont hav premium. Its also rly cool how they explain the workouts and give u tips througout.
It is so easy to use and once you have set it up (which again was so comprehensive to do...even for this techno phone!) The work outs were perfect for me and put me through my paces whilst keeping me interested.
I love this app, it's so helpful and is almost everything I'm looking for. I think the one thing that they should and and that would benefit their users is adding a warm up/cool down aspect to it. Other than that, it's great!
This app is very user friendly, I love that it is just like a class, they show you how to do the move and then continue doing while you are timed. I have started using it twice a day and have felt great!
I like the workouts that this app has to offer, they're very challenging and push you to do more and keep going. However, I think that the prices are a little too much for the premium, especially when I am syncing this to my fitbit and have had to already pay £100 for that to begin with. Personally I think of the app in being used together with the Fitbit , premium should be cheaper as you've already had to pay money to the same company. Otherwise, the free ones are good enough for now, great idea.
Great concept and I would have loved it but I lost sound half way through, didn't get credit for my workout, therefore it didn't sync it to my Fit bit. When the issues are gone I would love to try again but at this point I am glad I didn't purchase.
Love the fact that it adapts to my level and I really feel like Im starting to improve as I can go at my own pace. I have various health issues so for me, this is the ideal way to get fit. I like the fact you can also pick a freestyle session to complement your workout.
Loving the convenience of working out anywhere! Truly adjusted workouts for me. My favorite workout app so far and I download alot. Price for the year is at perfect price point for me! Thank you
This is a great app. The exercises are challenging but they are tailored to fit your goals and its great that you can turn the music on and off or switch to the kind of music you like. Well done!
Really nice app for burning calories and helping to tone. Even for its' free features it offers a lot. There's always something new! The coaching really helps and I LOVE that it syncs with both MyFitnessPal and Fitbit automatically. Really takes the redundancy out of working out.
Good workouts. Challenging. My complaint is when I have the music feature on, it sometimes sputters and lags. Better to keep music feature off until fitstar fixes it
I'm a beginner and very out of shape. Great way to get started.
Brilliant workout app, amazing you can do it from your own home. As a fibromyalgia sufferer i find the low cardio workouts help me get a workout. Thanks
I love this app! They have the program tailored to you and your life style. They have so many workout options to choose from, and the app does fitness test in the beggining to ensure that you are placed properly to get the best out of your weight loss journey.
Paid for it twice and still wont unlock. So frustrating!!!! Dont waste your money.
Despite paying for the app, it still tells me I haven't unlocked premium. So I've payed for an app I can't use. Love it when that happens.
I love this app. I can get a great workout, or 2 right on my phone as soon as I workout. It takes all excuses out!
This is just great, it helps me loose a lot of weight and once you start working out, you can't stop!! :D
Great app to compliment the Fitbit. Excellent workouts which help give an added boost to any workout or diet plan. Has helped me to loose over 15kgs/2 & half stone!
The app screen had to be open so I couldn't walk with it without having the screen on. Paused the workout unintentionally and skipped passed sections of the workout numerous times. Terrible app if you want it on your phone for walking. Two thumbs down :(
Very convenient. I'm able to do effective workouts at home any time of day. The exercises are simple and effective and the trainer is motivating
I wasted no time adding this to my fit bit app! Great exercises and workout plans!
Excellent! The exercises are efficient. Great for people who are really pressed for time, but want to squeeze in a good work out where ever, and when ever possible. Thank you fitstar
Great way to teach myself to get in better shape. I dont know what I can do and what I cant do now im sure its going to work me to that point.
Love this! The only thing it needs ia a casting option so o can cast to the tv.
The app is great but I'd like to see alternative easier moves for women and beginners who don't have as much upper body strength. I have to alter quite a few of the moves, eg all of the pushups as can't do them on my toes.
I love that you can do this anywhere and that it automatically syncs with the fitbit . You don't have to log anything. You can even cast it to your tv. Awesome sauce!

They explain the steps to doing each exercise which I like, and they adjust it to you which is awesome! I gave it 4 stars only because I'm not super thrilled that you have to pay for it either monthly or yearly, but its still a great price (its like 40 bucks for the whole year?) I would pay for it, but I get a great work out from the free videos they provide. Might invest in it, but right now I am satisfied. My abs are sore from what I did yesterday and it was only 24 minutes out if my day, and it logs straight to the fit bit. That the best part!
