    I derived little benefit from the three months I spent in the Trainwell program. The app provides exercises and fields to write feedback in as to how you feel. You can also schedule video calls with your trainer. The app records whether you completed each scheduled session, and reports your streak, that is, how long you have kept to your schedule.The personal trainer tailors your program to your individual needs. I assumed that the trainer would give encouragement and gentle pressure, and continually revise the program to promote advancement. I wrote much feedback about how the exercises were affecting me, and saw some tweaking of my program.I wrote comments about my activities outside the Trainwell program that promote movement, such as yard work and housework, but did not get any follow-up questions from my trainer about them. There was no discussion of nutrition or rest. I wrote many comments in the app, and got little feedback. (I did not make much use of the option to make scheduled video calls; I might have had a more satisfying experience if that had been my preferred mode of communication.)To be fair, I have to admit that I didnt make use of the resistance training workouts I asked my trainer to devise. I never made it to the gym; I did all my workouts at home.There were occasional motivational messages, presumably generated automatically. There were opportunities to join groups for mutual motivation. I didnt join them, as that isnt my thing. The apps streak meter did motivate me somewhat. Many completely automated apps, watches, etc., could do that, too, I assume. The workout routines that my trainer provided did not appear very distinctive. Countless such routines are available on the web, in magazines, or books, accompanied by relevant REMOVEDshort, I could have gained just about the same benefits without Trainwell, cheaply or free.

    Hi REMOVED, thank you so much for leaving a detailed review of your experience, we always appreciate feedback. But I am sad to hear that your experience felt so lackluster and you did not feel you gained much value from our service - that is not the experience we want our clients to have!

    The absolute best. Try it now while you are having a moment of clarity and thank yourself later.

    I had a great experience using Trainwell. I love the accountability and personal attention from my coach. We made several modifications to my workout based on my feedback and found a tempo and movement style that works best for me. I would strongly recommend this to anyone who needs convenience and accountability for getting in exercise.

    This organization appears to be using bait-and-switch tactics. I signed up with a link that advertised $69/mo, but they attempted to charge me over twice that amount at checkout. Beware of your price during the checkout process!

    Hi REMOVED, thanks for leaving a review, we appreciate your feedback!
    It looks like you ran into a very old promotion in a sponsored YouTube video from before September 2021.
    Unfortunately those promotions are over 2 years old and are no longer valid, but they still live on the YouTuber's channel as the channel is not owned by CoPilot. So we cannot take those videos down, but the promotions are not active anymore.
    I sincerely apologize for any confusion; it certainly is not our intention to do any sort of "bait-and-switch". If we can help you any more please reach out to us at REMOVED@REMOVED.com
