8fit Workout & Meal Planner 4+

Just what I needed!!!

I love this app, the set up is simple. You can pick pounds or kgs. The workout is easy to follow and set at your own fitness level, but can also be adjusted if too easy or too hard. You can add additional workouts to help problem areas, or you can choose a yoga workout or cool-down. As for the food, there are so many options to choose from, you pick if you have a special dietary requirements , you choose what type of meal you like I.e. quick, budget, family, a la carte, the choices go on; it’s easy to let it know you are eating out or maybe just skipping a meal. You can switch recipes easily too.
I downloaded today, so far I’ve done a workout, a yoga cool down and had the lunch suggested. I’m looking forward to the dinner later. I have signed up for pro, to pay in one payment as it’s so much cheaper. But you also get to do a 7 day free trial, so if you really don’t like it, you can cancel. I’m personally going to stick with it. Oh yeah, you can pick the time and day of your next work out, so if you have to miss a day that’s cool, maybe squeeze 2 workouts in one day to make up for it. I will follow up next month and let you know if I am still loving it.

No need for another fitness app

I have used this app for 5 months now( only the free exercise component). I am a middle-aged, time-limited professional woman with a number of health concerns, including POTS, which means I faint frequently. By the end of last year, I was very de-conditioned and only able to do tiny simple stretches. I have always done some mild form of exercise for about 20 to 30 minutes each day, until I became too unwell. I started from the absolute bottom up, with my specialist physiotherapist checking that I am OK with the movements. She discharged me after 6 weeks on the programme. I cannot believe how much stronger and fitter I have become, much better than with anything I had tried previously.I faint much less these days. I still choose alternatives for some of the exercises, like burpees, as my joints subluxate with such impact. Family members have now given up gym subscriptions and only following this app.

Great

Having tried a lot of different fitness apps this was one of the best. One thing that is mildly annoying is that it doesn’t remember what time you set your reminders, so every time have to manually change the time. Even though I do it at the same time every day. Would be good to have automatic scheduled reminders for the whole week too. Also if you forget to press the final button to end the workout, even though it’s already finished, it doesn’t log the workout. It should log it either way.

In the past I have also switched between the free version and paid version because I know I’m not always going to be able to use it regularly, however it seems like the free workouts have been massively reduced so the free version is now basically useless and has made me start to look elsewhere.
