Fitness Culture

Been using for 3-4 years now. Love the different programs that you can choose that and the progressive overload that it helps recommend to help you reach your goals.

I have been a regular lifter/athlete for around 15 years, and this is the best program/app I have found to date. Tips and training videos for every movement, substitute exercises, program design, and app design/ facebook support are all wonderful. This is likely the closest you will get to professional personal training for a fraction of the cost (50/month vs 100/session) That being said, the only minor critiques/suggestions I have are: 1. Occasionally training blocks seem to conflict. For example, a shoulder-heavy IWT/burnout circuit at the end of a leg day, then a shoulder/push day the very next day. Im guessing its just the programming pulling the circuit block from a bank without considering the secondary muscles, as this seems to go against their usual 48+hr rest periods per muscle group. 2. Some days in certain programs prescribe more weight than seems correct/safe. For example, pushing near 90% of max for 3 sets of 12 reps, even in rest-pause (6, rest 20s, 4, rest, 2) seems like an injury waiting to happen. I’m not the expert, and am not trying to discredit/invalidate the training (I absolutely love Steve and Jake), but non-profesional/full-natural/non-“enhanced” athletes may want to err on the safe side for these programs. 3. When selecting 60 or 30 minute option, it seems to just remove the last 1 or 2 chronological blocks for a training day, but sometimes it seems like it should be flipped. Example: if leg day goes: primary-secondary-ancillary-core/circuit, the core work or circuit would be left off the 60 minute version, when it seems like the ancillary leg stuff should be dropped instead (otherwise you miss out on core work entirely). Not sure if designed on purpose, and of course you can intuitively do what you want, but maybe it wasn't meant to be that way. 4. Stretching is not included/mentioned. They have mobility blocks each day that rotate, but these don’t always include the muscles you worked that day, and are not a real substitute for actual stretching. Example: chest day may have a back/shoulder focused mobility block. This isn't really an issue if realize it, but some may mistake the mobility routines for actual “stretching”. Otherwise, it is a great app that I highly recommend and training and recommend trying a few months/programs for yourself.

If you have aspirations to get back in shape Steve cook has the best app and program out there!!

Best fitness app out there! I’ve been using it consistently for five years. Amazing!

By far the best program I have ever payed for! Nothing comes close! Invest your money into something that will not only cause you to be pain free but be an functional athlete in any scenario!

I have tried several fitness apps and programs. This is hands down the most complete and well done fitness app I have used. The app itself is very easy to navigate and the videos really nail down the proper form to help maximize results and reduce likelihood of injury. The variety of programs is amazing. Worth every penny.

Will there be an update to bring dark mode? It would be helpful if once the rest timer finishes, it dings so you know and goes back to the workout page so we don’t have to swipe.

The app and workouts are great! It helped me know how to do the work outs and with my diet. I really like the auto meal plan because it’s easy to use and the meals are tasty!

I've been using Fitness Culture for like 3 or 4 years, and I've loved it! I've been on the Power Program the majority of the time. The programming has increased my 3 lift total by like 200 lbs, and helped me stay well conditioned for playing hockey! I really love the micro- and macro- cycling of the programming. It keeps things interesting but still stays focused on the goal of increasing strength. I had been lifting for awhile before I started Fitness Culture, but my wife was quite new to lifting when she started the Lean Program. The coaching descriptions and videos were perfect to help her get started and really enjoy lifting! I thought it was a little overpriced at first, especially since there are so many free programs out there; however, after using it for years it is easily worth every penny! I would strongly recommend it to anyone!

This is app is super easy to use and makes going to the gym easy. Just choose a program and it will take care of the rest.
