Eric Leija - Primal Fitness

Was looking forward to trying something different as my workouts were getting a bit stale. App crashes constantly. And mobility movements are somewhat complicated. My shoulder was killing me after one round of bench press

App was always just ok. Now I can’t even access the program I paid $150 for. What is the point of downloading each workout if I have to have internet to get it to work? Guess I’ll just do my own workout today and hope if gets fixed sometime soon.

Have used for almost a year and not disappointed with content.

I’m a 53 year old serious martial artist, fitness trainer with MS. Exercising like a maniac and kickboxing got me out of a wheelchair. Been working with Kettlebells and Combat Conditioning body weight, dumbbells, and bars for 22 years. There is literally NOBODY better than Eric Leija! This guy is the Jim’s Hendrix of exercise.

My husband and I have been using Primal Fit for maybe a year now on and off. We are enjoying the app and the ease of linking it to our tv. Plus the ease of going into each exercise without having to back out or rewind. The music change is great for each workout and keeps my mind busy and distracted. Totally get our A**es kicked too. I’ve never worked out my first 30 years young, but have been working out on and off the last two years. Thanks Eric Leija for the awesome workouts and keeping us fit.

I’ve been using Eric’s programs for a little over a year now and I love his workouts. They are perfect for my goals. But the app has been frustrating. 1. It will crash even if I switch back over from another app 2. Some workouts videos are blank 3. Some workouts will be listed differently than the ones in the videos 4. My music will stop playing as soon as I open the app even after I switched it ‘on’ in the app settings

I love Eric’s workouts! I followed him on instagram and did workouts on there before getting the app. I love the mobility work he does in the app - makes a big difference in my flexibility and lift-ability. His workouts are so innovative (never boring) and effective - down 3 pounds in a week since jumping back in post COVID.

Eric’s content is unparalleled. Before Eric’s programs I was inconsistent and unorganized at the gym. With this app, I have an easy way to bring organization and consistency to my fitness routine. I started here in 2020 & It’s crazy to think about how my strength and general confidence in my physique/physical health have transformed since then. Eric’s programs are fun so you want to come back consistently but still challenging so you’re making those gains! Everything has a proper warmup so you can prep your body before and a cool down so you can recover strong. I really believe Eric’s programs are designed to keep you strong and healthy with an eye on consistency and longevity. Some minor feedback: -I wish I could play my own music with the videos -sometimes Eric goes pretty fast between sets. I don’t always have time to get my bells or bands ready in time! -some very minor editing hiccups But these are so so minor & I can’t knock its rating because I think the content is that good. Thanks Eric-hope you keep dropping more programs.

I love using this app and one of the best bang for your buck subscriptions. Tons of free workouts and advice and the programs are killer!

I’ve been using this app for daily workouts for about 4 months now. In my review I distinguish between the workout content and the technical delivery. The content is the best I’ve found. Exceeds 5 stars. Eric’s workouts are challenging, diverse, flexible, educational, etc. Any superlative you can think of - the workouts have it. I especially like the mobility/recovery workouts and how there is a (different) workout for 6/7 days of the week. There were KB moves I was afraid to try but Eric has educational videos that breakdown the moves. I’m happy I got the yearly subscription. The excellent content is handicapped by the app delivery. I see lots of room for improvement there: 1) Thus far, the monthly release updates have had various bugs - I don’t think there’s sufficient regression testing. 2) It should be easy to identify if a workout is a full follow-along or not. 3) The workout real-time displays should report progress with more granularity - e.g. workout 2/3 complete, rounds 1/4 complete. 4) full workout times should be accurate - they always say 60mins but many times it’s more like 45mins, sometimes even 30mins. 5) option to silence the app’s music, so it doesn’t compete with one’s personal playlist choices. 6) Last point for this review, more engagement from the admins and Eric on the FB page.
