Work It with MG

I was really excited for this app, I thought it would be the boost I need to help kick up my health routine. I love the layout, the water/sleep/step tracking, and how there are explanations about why certain things are important. Unfortunately I have a nut allergy so nearly all of the recipes did not apply to me. Also it did not let me pick which days I have workouts, and there are some days I absolutely cannot find time to work out with my schedule. I would keep the subscription to get access to the workouts to use on my less busy days rather than my assigned days, but it’s far too expensive for that. I’m very thankful there was a free trial period so that I could find out it does not work for my dietary/workout needs whatsoever without spending money on it.

When I downloaded this app, I expected that it would be comparable to a fitness guide pdf - which was OK with me - but it ended up being a LOT more than that. It has an entire plant-based recipe library which I LOVE and it’s easy to cater to vegans + is super efficient the way it’s laid out. Best part? There’s no calorie counts! I love that you can go back and forth between weeks and decide if you want to workout 3, 4, or 5 days a week - and that the app doesn’t try to overload you with cardio like most guides do. I also like that there’s a self-care component and it gives you a daily ~stress less~ tip. I think that’s a super important component of fitness that’s commonly overlooked so it’s cool that it’s included. Overall I’m extremely pleased with this app - wish I could give it more stars!

I’m sure this has the potential to be a handy and fun health and fitness app. Unfortunately, as it is now, it should not have been released. To name a few issues: the app crashes and freezes regularly, there is little customization allowed, cancelling your subscription is a nightmare (I am still trying to figure that one out), and videos are slow both to load and then pause buffer often while playing. Suggestions for improvement: 1. Let me see the time and phone % while the app is open. Simple, but appreciated! :) 2. Include timers to be used for rest periods 3. Autoplay workout videos instead of having me look at more info. The ‘more info’ section is great for getting written step by step instructions, but I feel I shouldn’t have to select it to see visual representation of the movement. 4. What does ‘tempo: 2011’ (for example) even mean? Maybe reword for better clarity. 5. When I’ve selected that I completed all supersets in a workout, there is no option to complete the workout. My only option is to back out, only to see that nothing got saved. Probably just a little bug, but that is a major component of this app and should be taken care of ASAP In conclusion, as the app is right now it is not worth paying for. I enjoy Madalin’s content and hope I will be able to enjoy an updated and improved version of this in the future! For now though, I’ll stick to other health and fitness apps.

You’re probably downloading this app bc you follow her on instagram. So did I. Truth is, you can find more workout content on her instagram page for $0. The workouts in this app just repeat every day, so you’re not actually getting much new content at all. Not even sure what I’m paying for here. I used this app for 2 months and am now switching to Volt app which is much better. Also, the app is really poorly designed (I’m a senior product designer, I design apps for a living, this one is just... not good). I was trying to ignore this just bc I wanted to do her workouts, but for the price and the quality and the content (or lack thereof), just go watch her instagram workouts. It’s the same content, and you’ll find more of it on there than in this overpriced, poorly designed app. I’ve tried Nike’s workout app and Volt app and both are much better, in every way. Try those.

I’ve been LOVING the app for the past 2 months that I’ve been using it. There were some bugs at the start, but they’ve been quickly fixed with fast responses from the support team. The workouts have been amazing. Hello soreness 👋🏼 I’ve been loving the meal recipes, there are SO many options and even those who are vegetarian can enjoy! The daily stress less tips are great reminders to slow down and give yourself some self care. I highly recommend WorkIt with MG if you’re looking to switch up your workout routine but also looking for an AMAZING community of supportive humans through Instagram.
