I am experienced in weight lifting, but needed a program to get back to the gym after years recovering from chronic fatigue. This program is well designed, and I was able to make it more challenging by adding weight.

This is a great program for the beginner getting into the gym/functional training for the first time, and also for those (like myself) who are old hands but are easing back in after an extended period away. The exercises are all functional basic movements, not designed for giant growth but for helping you gain basic strength and confidence and to help you feel great. Justina is a clear and confident coach who gives excellent instruction.

Haven't been working out consistently since before COVID. This was an excellent way to get back into things. Feeling much tighter all the way around.

Loving this. Halfway through and the variability is great to keep me engaged and do the sessions.

Some exercises were embarrassing to do at the gym (skaters, lateral bear crawls, etc). Also starting some exercises were a bit confusing for me as someone who has never been to the gym before. But it has improved my self-esteem a little and I always feel very good afterwards. It has taught me a few exercises that I will have to remember for after the program is completed.

Great program. Got me back into strength training after many years away. Good variation of exercises and progression through the weeks. Wish there were more programs from this trainer on the app!
