Future Reviews 105

It's like the movie "Her" but for the fitness vertical -- and I know my trainer Miles loves me more than the rest of his customers.

In all seriousness, it's a rare thing -- the relationship with the trainer makes it, but the app experience also makes it dummy-proof to get your workout in and know form/technique/reps/duration.

And I didn't even get to the Apple Watch tie-in...

Been working with a trainer with Future for over half a year and the experience has been phenomenal. Eddie communicates with me each day I’m working out and keeps all my workouts fresh and designed just for me. Couldn’t have asked for better!

Kyle is the man. Very flexible and supportive. He encourages and motivates and helps you stay focused on your personal goals. Easily scales up and back as needed depending upon your week ahead. Can say enough great things about him.

My experience with Kyle as a coach has been wonderful. He works with me to achieve my goals. As I am older and have a few issues he will immediately change or modify anything that may cause me a problem. Kyle is unique as he is patient, answers all my questions and makes himself available almost all the time!

Future is the best service I’ve ever paid for

There's nothing more effective than having a coach plan your fitness and keep you accountable 24/7. The thing about Future is that your coach is actually on the ball and responsive. They're not giving you a pre-planned routine. They consider your every need and design custom workouts just for you. Amazing!

I started using Future before the shelter-in-place orders started and have continued to use it. I'm especially grateful for it when there isn't a gym to go to and someone can provide a fully structured home workout rather than me trying to think of what to do. My trainer has been amazing in working with what I have at home and my ability. Having someone hold you accountable helps too, especially on those days where you aren't in the mood to workout. They're flexible and will work with your schedule and are always willing to help you work towards your goals. The app is easy to use and you're able to be guided through movements/exercises you've never done before. Highly recommend!

The app is ok. It’s helpful for learning the basics of weight lifting and some accountability, but it is not really personalized to you. I’ve had a minor injury and it took weeks for my trainer to remember to exclude exercises that would make it worse (like running and jumping), the same with some other basic requests for things I could not do. The exercises seem to be set workouts that are sent to many people who use the service. Be aware that the selection of exercises is pretty limited and doesn’t include weight machines (only barbell, dumbbell, and some resistance band exercises) Also, don’t expect much guidance for things like nutrition.

My experience with Future has been fabulous. I started with the app before the "shelter in place" took effect so once I had to transition to "at home" workouts, I was so grateful to have this as an easy option. My gym workouts were immediately changed by my trainer Evan who is so creative in making workouts at home both fun and challenging at the same time. Evan is always so responsive and consistently varies the workouts so that I have kept my motivation throughout this crazy quarantine period. His enthusiasm for fitness is contagious. Thank you Future and thank you Evan!!

Great concept in general especially during these times. However the app is pretty glitchy and it still bothers me that I'm not being monitored by my trainer in person.

- overall app is great for most folks

- audio cues are very helpful
- they help remind me of what to focus on

- video playback appears to consume quite a bit of battery

Below are suggestions for people who primarily focus on strength and conditioning.

- the streamlined interface of the workouts is OK
- would be nice to have a simplified view (e.g. sets x reps x weight and then the exercises /progress)
- exercise selection is limited
- would be nice to have notifications if the coach makes any changes to the workout
- support for RPE / measurement of difficulty on a per set basis would be great

Love my coach and when I was traveling a lot Future was the best motivation I could get to workout no matter where I was!

Evan is a fantastic joke. He keeps me motivated, while simultaneously kicks my butt when it comes to the workouts. I've recommend Future to quite a few friends. I love it!

Evan is a great trainer

New trainers are not as good as the old ones. No longer feels like a premium service worth the price.

Caroline is awesome, a great coach, and super responsive! I’ve kept up with my exercise weekly since January.

Overall the app is amazing. It works very well with the watch, the videos are great and easy to follow and the personalized voice over of your trainer giving you details about your program or a specific exercise makes the app experience one of the best I’ve seen so far. My trainer is very responsive and committed to my goals. He is always doing all he can to keep me on track, manage my back pain issues and motivates me to keep going. The workouts are always different every 3-4 weeks, so I never get tired.

If you want to use it for swimming workouts though, it doesn’t work very well, specially when trying to use the watch with it.

Besides some little bugs here and there, the overall app experience is great and service they offer is great and unique, you won’t find it anywhere else. I’m hooked definitely!

I had started with Kyle before this whole Coronavirus became common knowledge. This was a God send. If I had not been working out already I would not have been prepared to keeping it going in the quarantine. I feel my body getting stronger every week. I did physical therapy for 4 or 5 months and still had pain. That pain I had from a past car accident has almost disappeared. I credit these workout with improving my overall health. I feel I have had a better defense against this whole pandemic. Also my mental health has been great with the quarantine because I have been working out. Kyle always starts my day with a text of inspiration to keep it going even when I have a bad day. Seeing the rewards of my exercise has kept me committed to my program. I told Kyle what I wanted to accomplish and I’m seeing the results. I think Future was a great God sent vision. Little did the whole world know or expect that we would be living indoors for months. Future was already setup to keeps it’s clients healthy mentally & physically through this pandemic. Without Kyle & Future my quarantine would have been more challenging. My investment in Future has been because of Kyle Gonzalez. Glad to be a client. Health is your greatest Wealth. Invest in Kyle Gonzalez or another Future Fit coach. You are worth the investment.

Future has helped me get in the best shape of my life.
