SHOCK: Workouts & Fitness

I recently just discovered this app. I was looking for a fun app with cardio and strength training mixed in and this is it! I’ve tried many well known fitness apps and this has been my favorite!

I tried the app with a free trial for the first time today. The workout was great. I liked the way it kept me going. One thing I would like to see is maybe a “start here” section in the app with best practices. Like step 1, pick your workout, step 2 get your playlist going, step 3 this is how the work outs go…explaining how the heart rate thing works, how long the intervals are, when to rest etc. I also would have loved to know how much total time was left in the workout. I can convince myself to keep going if I know it’s only a few more minutes but when I have no idea I tend to give up early. Also, I didn’t see a cool down so I did my own stretches. I’m going to keep using the app, it’s extremely convenient and the workout was moves I had mostly not done before which is a nice change.

As a woman over 65, I have found this app to be almost perfect. I have been using it for over 21 weeks now, on average 5 days per week. The only modifications I have made are for high impact/jumping type exercises. I do fewer of these or take the impact down a bit, just for safety. I do love the variety of exercises and the surprise of a new workout every day. As a result, my core and back have never been stronger or more stable. I feel flexible and tight, something that is so hard to obtain at this age. I am able to sustain a working heart rate of around 140 during “Shock” parts of the workouts and to gradually increase my weights as time has gone on. I started at Level 1, increased to Level 2 and may try Level 3 soon. I have tried the Live sessions and plan to do more of those as time goes on. Finally, I have found Customer Service to be fabulous for this app. It’s great to have this team with me in my fitness journey.

I love that this app is created for women. I’m a beach volleyball player and it’s great to have cross training options on days I’m not playing. It’s also nice to be able to personalize what you are looking for. I was a fan of Orange Theory but prefer this app because there isn’t a big wait while exercises are explained. If you need to know how to do something you can click for more info. I like that it communicates with my Apple Watch and that I don’t have to listen to music chosen by the app. So easy to follow and a great workout with a lot of flexibility.

I can not recommend the SHOCK app enough. It has been the only thing that has got me through quarantine. The workouts are channeling but fun. Anyone has 25 mins to get an amazing workout in. I highly recommend this app over its competitors because it is truly made for women and is unlike anything else!

I love how this apps offers so much variety of exercises with very clear instructions. It keeps it fresh and helps me stay motivated. All of the workouts can be done from home which is great for these social distancing/quarantine times for those of us who are still avoiding the public gyms. These workouts can truly be done from anywhere, love this flexibility.

I have nothing but great things to say about this app. I wanted something that was under 30 minutes, a combo of cardio and strength, with a focus on all parts of the body and this app delivers. I can adjust the workouts based on what I am focusing on and my ability level. There’s endless weeks of workouts, and some of the moves get repetitive but that doesn’t bother me at all. It’s simple to use...no frills which I love. It requires minimal equipment which is great for home workouts. No cheesy motivational speaking, just great simple workouts with timers, beeps to trigger new rounds and connectivity to my music. The best part is that I can bring my routine with me wherever I go and I can do these workouts even in a small hotel rooms. Best part is that the price is SO reasonable for the number of workouts you have available. My only watch out is that if you are looking for a more cardio focused workout routine, this probably isn’t your jam. If you get your cardio from running or through another app and you want to supplement with weight training, this is the one for you. Couldn’t recommend it more!

If your someone who likes very simple and repetitive this app is for you. Very little variety which is what I prefer.

Was seriously in need of a workout app that actually worked, this is the one! Love the workouts and I enjoyed my time using the app.

I actually am enjoying this app. It’s a lot harder of workouts than I expected. The more you get into it the harder it gets! It challenges me and I love that.
