"Before finding Kickoff, I wasted so much time sitting in my car at the gym trying to google the "best" workout for the day. Now I never fret over workouts - they're sent to me with clear instruction in the Kickoff app. Working with my trainer via text has been such a benefit. Having that accountability was key - I beat my goal by 10 lbs, losing 40 lbs before my wedding day!"

I was tired of feeling like I just couldn't get to the gym, eat right, or get to my goals. Things would always come up; work was hard, life was stressful. Kickoff has changed that.

What sets Kickoff apart for me is the human personal trainer factor. My trainer has held me accountable and pushed me to get my workouts in and stick to nutrition goals... which are things that other fitness apps I have tried lack.

I was on the the hunt for an online coach/trainer and came across Kickoff and decided to try them out. I had a phone conversation with my coach, and she laid everything out for me and how the program works. She holds me accountable, which is what I need. Her workouts are challenging and never boring. She always keeps me on my toes and pushing myself. I checkin with her daily. I have seen good results!

Easy to use app, with expert instructors in a 1-on-1 setting. The workout routines are tailored to my needs and objectives. The app has easy spots for feedback, alternative exercises, and tutorials/demos. I would highly recommend Kickoff to those looking for a personal trainer on the go.

Great workout app with a real person to talk to and guide you through excercising. They even have instructions and videos to make sure you are doing it correctly.

I've been using Kickoff for a number of months now and it's really helped change my outlook on exercise. My trainer is knowledgeable and encouraging, but not in an annoying way! The guidance makes me want to work out more. And for those times when I don't, the motivation helps get me there. I definitely feel stronger and more fit overall, and Kickoff makes me feel like I can do it. Strongly recommend trying it out!

I love working with a HUMAN instead of some app notification... I would recommend Kickoff to my friends who don't want to spend too much money on personal training but still want the personal fitness plan and experience. It's a game changer for me and I never regret it.

I've been using Kickoff for three months and love it. I've essentially outsourced workout related concerns to my coach, and am healthier for it. It holds me accountable and gives me the info I need to be healthy. My current workout regimen is likely the most balanced and healthy it's ever been — good mix of cardio and weights. In the past, I've avoided weightlifting / core workouts since I never really knew what workouts I should be doing. Now, going to the gym is a breeze with the app. I just open the app and follow the workout.

The workouts are tailored to my goals, schedule, and equipment access (I don't have a gym membership). I get a great variety of cardio and strength training focusing on different areas, and continue to challenge myself. I had no idea how much I'd enjoy dumbbell workouts before since I never really knew what to do!

The flexibility of the program fits my needs like a glove. I had sprained my ankle before starting, so I needed to avoid some exercises. I worked out many muscles that I would not have done by myself. I got more fit than ever even as we worked on my injury (my wife approves)!
