Zova: #1 Watch Workout App

This app is unreal, I use it everyday. My fitness has improved so much since I started and it’s become the first workout routine I actually stick to. The program is exactly what I need, it’s harder than I would push myself but not too challenging. The coach, Vix, does a great job at motivating and I learn a bit each time from her coaching on my form. The workouts feel like she’s actually there with me, it’s crazy. Right when I slow down on burpees it’s like she’s watching me and she cues me to speed up right at the right time. I’ve tried so many apps and hadn’t found one I wanted to stick with until I found Zova. They hit the nail right on the head, with other tips & courses to educate you on other things to do with your health. I have a crazy work schedule so I can’t always make it to the gym on time or sometimes I’m too tired. I love that I can just workout from home, and sometimes my kids even join in! I feel amazing after the workouts, I am just so grateful I found Zova, it’s really changed my fitness for the better. I feel better and healthier than ever and I’m not stopping anytime soon. The workouts change so I never get bored, they are always hard yet somehow fun! I wish everyone could experience these workouts and see for themselves how great of an app it really is.

Since I’ve been diagnosed with diabetes I’ve signed up for at least 7 different apps to maintain my health. It became overwhelming till I found ZOVA. This is everything you need in just one app. No need to go from app to app and try to keep track of everything. The nutrition coaching and videos are really helpful as well as the workout videos. I hate going to the gym so these videos have blown my mind and make it easy to workout from home. So far I have not only accessed the nutrition and workout videos. But also the lifestyle courses on breaking bad habits and the benefits to a good night sleep. One would think that since this app has so many features it would be slow. Absolutely not! The videos are clear and have never buffered . It’s quick and easy to sign up and use. The integration with Apple products/ health is seamless and easy. The entire app is beautiful and the clarity is the best i’ve seen in a really long time. It’s extremely easy on the eyes. I shared the app with my doctor. She was also very impressed and was able to see my progress . She indicated that she will be suggesting it to her other patients. I know this review is long but this app is so remarkable and has been life changing that I had to share my experience.

This app has changed my life. I went from not working out for years to working out every week for over a year. I downloaded Zova and did a few workouts and I instantly fell in love with this app. The quick demonstration before each exercise that flows seamlessly into the exercise is also a great touch. There’s workouts for beginners, and for advanced. There’s short workouts and long workouts! This makes it easy for me to fit in a workout everyday, even if I have a tight schedule. Zova has been the only thing that has motivated me to be more active. More than worth it to pay the subscription since it is way less than most gym memberships. These workouts relieve me from my stress and anxiety, because it pushes me to be a better me. I now want to start doing longer and more advanced exercises, I’m determined to work harder. You can favorite workouts so you don’t loose them, and just as easily unfavorite them. If you are starting to break out of beginner workouts you can find intermediate and advanced workouts quick and easy.

I would love to give this app 5 stars, but I can’t. During set up it specifically asks for access to your Health app. The Health app is a central depository for numerous activities. I currently set workouts on my Apple Watch, then watch as it records time spent, calories burned and other activity. This is documented in the Health app and I can see a break down of my most active days and the data associated with it. My understanding of Zova was that it references this when calculating your weekly score. It does not do this. I can do numerous activities outside of Zova, see the progress I’m making, but because I’m not doing the specific Zova exercise in the app, my weekly Zova score drops. This creates the opposite effect the app is trying to instill. I see no progress being made because I jogged up a mountain and had my Watch capture the exercise data. After a week of alternating (Zova programs one day, independent Watch recorded data the next), my Watch had recorded all relevant data and I could reference my progress in both the Activity app and in the Health app, but Zova said it was my weakest week yet! 😂 It’s a bummer too cause the programs are good. Maybe when they integrate this correctly I’ll be willing to pay the sub, but right now it’s not worth the monthly fee.

In the past two years I probably downloaded around 200 apps or more. Honestly, more than half gets deleted after a few days because it doesn’t benefit my busy schedule This is a great app to help everyone stay motivated and eager to workout. Very easy to use and the personalized program fits into my busy schedule. The questionnaire to determine the appropriate program was short and easy to complete. Most apps have an extensive questionnaire which will eventually make me want to delta the app. A lot of educational videos and tips to stay healthy. The thing I did find a bit distracting was that the videos need a smoother transition. The informational videos were chopped into pieces like Instagram stories. I also think a “food journal” would be very helpful. I know personally it’s easy to make positive changes if details such as portion amount, calories and nutrition intake is recorded. The instructors in the videos were very diverse which was refreshing. I do suggest including men into the programs to attract a male audience. I also think a reward system would also keep people interacting with the app. I use the apps that have a point system more frequently. This app has a lot to offer and after the trail period I will be purchasing a yearly membership. One of the best fitness and wellnes apps
