This program surprised me the first time through so I just started it for a second time! I like the structure very much and it's so easy to find reasonable swaps depending on your equipment availability. I did not take official measurements but can clearly see and feel muscle gains. I'd consider myself a beginner, I've worked out in the past on and off but never as consistent as this app has motivated me to be! I have not missed a single workout. I also calorie deficit each day and eat high protein.

Zero training experience prior to doing this program. Was basically a shut in medical student with no strength. The program pushes you well and more than other beginner programs but is managable even for me. Very visible improvement in strength overall.

Really like that all muscles are exercised. I've never been more motivated to exercise than with this plan. I can now feel my core muscles. Plus I e.g. bench press which I never thought of before. I can only recommend this plan and am very happy that I found it and (almost) completed it.

This program is great for my apartment gym. I add in a few exercises and trade out the recommended abs for my own exercises. Overall it’s easy to follow and an effective workout.

Very good program targeting all the right areas and in a sequence that makes sense. I like it it’s not too challenging to follow and felt like it was targeting all the right areas in women’s body for maximum curves. Thank you great content

Idk how to put this but I was just a normal guy when I started this program but now things are different. I’ll be walking down the road and dudes be glancing, then staring. They can’t seem to believe how much cake I have back there. They’ll say things like “where’d you get that bakery” or “holy **** do you have a sister” and idk if I like it. I feel harassed all the time now, nothing more than an object to all these dudes. Pretty easy to get a Gymbro now tho

Really love this program. I use bands for a lot of the exercises since I cannot afford a full gym.

Great workout for all my target areas. I lost 32 lbs prior to starting this workout and had a lot of loose flab that needed tightening, this workout has been great to work those areas!!! I went down one size in 7 weeks, and still working on it.
