Mila by Camilla Lorentzen

This app is helping me get back into fitness after many years off due to mental health struggles. I found Camilla and Jules on tiktok. She has such a positive but genuine personality. I love that the app she created is focused on feeling good in your body and building a good relationship between your body food and exercise. It also has adjustments for every fitness level. I’m so happy to have found this app. Thank you Camilla & Jules. Appreciate you more than yall know 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

It’s been hard for me trying to motivate myself after having a child. He’s a year and a half, I’m still nursing, I’ve had a lot of weight gain, and my body just feels bad. This app makes it easy to move without judgement. Even if all I can muster is 15 minutes. Thank you.

I started using the app 144 days ago (it tracks it for you!) and when I began, I started with the daily energy based exercises. I loved how I could select low, medium, or high energy and be served up three activities to match. Once I started that habit, then I was excited to explore the series that Mila has, mixes of strength, cardio, walking, mindfulness, and habit talks. Again, all curated and one at a time. My adhd brain loves the novelty and also not having to decide what to do! I never felt overwhelmed and I never avoided exercise due to stress either. It helped me feel proud of myself and exercise more consistently than I ever had before. Mila is kind and encouraging, with realistic stepping stones to help anyone love movement and fitness for the joy of it.

This is my first time using the app. I did ‘fitness fun: full body circuit’ and ‘seated stretch: hips and lower back’. I tend to use peloton, but I find that quite often they go a bit too hard for me when I’m on my period. I’ve never found a trainer, online or in person, who I felt was calm enough (in both demeanor and workout program) to be a good fit, so that’s why I was trying Mila. On the topic of content: Camila is both calm and positive. She seems like an amazing person, so that was a perfect fit. The class made me feel active, but also like I could keep up even though I was on my period. Another perfect fit. I don’t know that I would gravitate to Mila on days where I feel like I can really “go for it”, but on days where I want some calmer movement (quite often in my case) this is the perfect app for me. Lastly, I was a little thrown by a lack of background music. I don’t think I loved it, but it didn’t bother me enough to stop using the app for it. On the topic of the app itself, I have a few notes: You can cast the content from Mila to a tv, but if you lock your device it will stop playing (I’ve never seen this behavior before in other apps). There is no way to search for specific content - I was especially confused because I wanted to see what the Mila stretching classes were like, and I couldn’t find one at first. It took me longer than I care to admit to realize that, in the filters, “mobility” is stretching. Now I’m wonder if this is the term commonly used in British English. In any case, it could have saved me a little bit of time if I’d had a search functionality, but it is more annoying than blocking. Overall I enjoyed Mila. I would definitely say it’s worth trying.

Really helps me motivate to move my body on a daily basis! I love the workouts and the variety to choose from. I also really like the addition of the series with different difficulty/time commitment levels.

Oh my goodness I downloaded this to help me with getting in the habit of moving my body every day and I find myself wanting to do multiple workouts in a session

Love love love this app. When I decided it was truly time to make a lifestyle difference in my health and not just hit my goal, my life changed. To find an app that has that same value as their tag line is awesome. I’m so excited to continue growing on this journey ❤️

I have always struggled getting into a routine and sticking with it. I’ve searched high and low for years for something that I can stay consistent with and not feel guilty if I fall off the wagon for a bit. The workouts are beginner friendly but I definitely feel sore after. I love Mila so much and it has become a part of my morning routine now. Thank you for helping me better my life!

I first reviewed this app after I completed her 30 days. And while I mentioned it was good for beginners with few technical and form issues…I am back to say it’s not worth it for anyone wanting actual workouts with correct form and instruction. Her form is terrible and the workout are barely 4 minutes. I wouldn’t recommend.

I’m just starting out working out regularly and having a body positive and mentally reassuring guide like Camilla is so amazing. The workouts are specifically tailored to your starting point and daily energy which is really helpful for someone who can’t hit the gym every day. Highly recommend.
