It’s a beautiful day to be Alive! Alive is a fitness and wellness app by Whitney Simmons. Whitney has shared her fitness journey and workouts for many years and has now designed programming to help women with their journeys. Whitney is passionate about empowering women to shape the best versions of themselves mentally and physically. This app provides customized programs and workouts to push you to your limits, helping you achieve your fitness goals and get in the best shape of your life.
Alive was planned and designed to be as simple as possible and easy to use. Focusing specifically on the workout experience so you have confidence during your workouts. We are excited to continue improving and evolving the app with our Alive community in the process.
Features
Programs
Alive includes 20 different programs to choose from based on your personal goals. When you join a program you are guided through a full schedule of workouts that span over several weeks. This takes any guesswork out and keeps you focused on your goals.
Challenges
Alive strongly believes your mental health is just as important as your physical health and has designed 30-day challenges where those intersect. Each challenge contains daily tasks, mindful mobility, workouts, and journal prompts. These challenges will help you push your limits and uncover new habits to live a healthier day-to-day life.
Daily Workouts
Alive includes over 100 daily workouts that are split up into different categories (HiiT, Abs, Pull, etc) so you can decide what type of workout you want to do.
Journey
The path to a fit, healthy life is a journey, not an overnight process. The journey allows you to keep track of your progress by weight, photos, and a timeline of progress. Alive also has the capability of syncing your active minutes and weight data with Apple Health. Consistency is key so as you continually hit your goals the app will reward you with achievements along the way!

I’m sorry to give such bad review because I follow Whitney and I love her workouts, but the app works really bad.
1. You can’t listen to music ‘case it will stop anytime you open or close the app or sometimes even randomly.
2. You can’t skip exercises and come back later because it will make them appear as done and if you go back all the exercises you’ve done will appear as you’ve never done them.
3. The Apple Watch app works really bad, resting times became double or triple and at one point it stopped to measure my pulse and calories.
4. Name of the exercise aren’t explanatory, it will be better if there was images of the exercise for those who don’t like to keep the phone active during training.
I’m sorry but I feel I lost money. Do not recomend this .
Pretty app but missing a few things
After a week I am really liking the app and the workouts but I feel like it needs a few things to make it 5 stars amazing:
- optional voice over with tips on the movement (similar to Nike training app). Some of the views of the movements aren’t the best so the voiceover would help with how to properly do a movement. Also if I’m in the gym and don’t want to be looking at my phone constantly to have the option for it to tell you the next move in VO.
- warm up and cool down: I’m so surprised there are zero warm up and cool downs on the app! I personally would like them integrated into the workouts themselves but even if there were other warm up/cool downs that I could do myself from the app I would be happy. These are intensive workout and warmup and recovery are sooo important and I would bet many app users skip because it’s not on there.
- improved searching and filtering: similar to other fitness apps you should be able to filter workouts by not only muscle group but by the amount of workout equipment you have, amount of time, intensity level, etc. there aren’t a thousand workouts on the app currently so it’s not hard to scroll through but as they continue to add more it will be necessary to search to find what you’re looking for.
I know this app was built from scratch and I’m sure will improve as time goes on, but it’s on the pricier side of at home workout apps and I would love if it had these included
