If you're literally going from doing nothing to wanting to run a 5k, this app is for you. Although coming from doing nothing to running for a minute is still a hit to the body, it lets you repeat a level as often as you need until you feel youre ready to move on. Well worth it.

Thank you for your feedback! We're really glad the app is meeting you where you're at and letting you progress at your own pace. That's exactly what we built it for - safe, steady progress. Keep going!

definitely worth paying the one time payment if you are out of shape and need something consistent and simple to get you going. it's not complicated or overwhelming but very effective. I've seen people online saying that this kind of training plan is not efficient and that you should be doing all these other workouts and exercises. but that's all overwhelming for a beginner and this just works to get you to that 5k. it's a little dated but in kind of a nostalgic charming way. old but works!

love the app! easy to use and the program works. I hate that it wants me to change my permission to "all the time" for location tracking...

Thank you! We are glad the app is working well for you. We ask for location access so the app can track your distance and display your route during a run, even when running in the background, for example, while using a music app. If you have further questions, please reach out to us at support@fitness22.com. We are always happy to hear from you.
