I have followed the courses in the app for some weeks. Personally I find that there have been some effects. I feel myself better.

The app provides users a large amount of resources including pictures, texts, videos and expert suggestions. You can get over 100 available workouts to make schedule of your fitness plan. Or you can combine the activities you need to be your customized one.

All you need to do is follow the coach, to keep doing excercises. I think you will get a nice body after some courses. The app is totally FREE!!! Highly Recommended!!!

Suggestions:
1. Add Retina support for the new iPad.
2. Add function to share and download users' own workouts not only to friends. There can be a sharing area in the app to download new workouts.
3. Add more Asian localizaitions.

1.The icon is well designed. Blue and yellow make it very smart. I do like it.
2. In this app, there are several catalog for choosing. You can easily find out the proper exercises for you, since you can search from the 'body part', 'muscles' and 'equipment' catalogs. You can choose the exercises for your special part training. If you know the training name, you can also find it by alphabet.
3. One of the nice thing is that yoga instruction is also available.
4. Many pictures are provided. It is more clear and helpful for the users to follow the exercises correctly. And the picture of the body muscles is also important and helpful, because not every one can understand the muscles names.
5. The is a link from which you can download more pictures.
6. You can check the history of exercises you have done and check the workout.

As a free version, it provides much more than my expectation. There are sufficient contents for fitness users at entry level. Of course you can buy the relevant full versions.

suggestion
1. I hope that the ads could be removed, since there are many full version upgrade options already. It seems it is not necessary for the ads for relevant ads.
2. It seems that it just provides the instruction for the relevant exercises and equipments, but the training time of the exercises is not offered. I think If the time is added, it is more helpful for the fitness users.

Anyway, it is a nice app and it is free.

My brother and I have got benefits from this app.The app really does help to us. We use it for training muscles and keep body figure good.

The app provides a large amount of exercises with detailed videos and images. The instructions are also very comprehensive. Following the trainer, trainees can easily finish the courses and after short term or long term efforts, effects are reflected.

There are over 700 exercises and 300 yoga courses in the app. About 100 ready-made workouts can be suitable for most users. You can also customize your own workouts using the 1000 courses provided.

Videos and images are viewed online by default. But you can download them all to make offline view.

It's very important to track your physical conditions after training. The app also provides a statistics to manage your data. You can track changes and improvements in the app.

Trainings must be done regularly and perseverely. Once you determine a workout or a course to do, you can record it in calendar. When it's time to do excerices, the app will remind you.

Many other premium features such as All-in-Fitness Magazines can be bought via In-App-Purchase.

My brother and I will keep using this app. We both hope this app can make better and better. Here're some suggestions:

1. The extra contents can be downloaded in the app. But when the app is quit unexpectedly, all what have download must be done again. Please make it a pause and function to continue download after unexpected quit.

2. The app supports only western languages now. In order to let more people enjoy the app, there should be more asian languages added.

3. I used German language setting at first. Then switch to English, but there're still some German words left. Such as under the calendar. The training I have already recorded.

All in all, the app is very practical and really worth the price! And it's now on sale! Grab it now!

The Only Fitness app you will ever need!
Fitness HD app includes the functionality of 4 different apps- Calorie counter, Body tracker, Pedometer and Fitness exercises/ Yoga.

The Calorie Counter keeps track of your daily goals by calculating the calories intake via its gigantic food library and categorizing it into carbohydrates, protein and fats and use this information for giving various suggestions for achieving your goals. Body tracker keeps track of your B.M.I while the pedometer which comes with custom music player tracks distance travelled and calories burnt and represents it in form of various charts and graphs. Finally the best thing I like about this app is availability of various workout modes combined with over hundreds of Fitness exercises and Yoga poses with audio and video instructions in this app.

Now to the short comings :
1)As the app is free iads are included
2)Some of the above mentioned features lke BMI,Calorie Counter and so on are only available as Premium Content after inapp purchase

Some of the features I would like to see as a future update are:-
1) As the app contains so many features, I would love to see some kind of demo tutorial showing how to use the app effectively for new users.
2) Also would love if the user could get the premium contents for free for a limited time so that could try and see the difference.
3) Finally would love some pre made workout plans based on the time user has like 15,30,45 and 60 min so that user can quickly try the workouts

With so many features it is a must have app for every Fitness enthusiasts.

Live healthy and shape your body with this Fitness app. Fitness is very useful and great app! Recommended for those who want to keep their body strong and healthy!

With 700 videos and exercises plus 50 yoga videos. You follow the exercise via audio, picture or video. Keep track your BMI and stay fit & healthy. With this app you wont need a personal trainer and go often to the gym. Use it everywhere, in your house, outdoor or recreational place.

Let keeps our life healthier and love ourself.
Would like to see an upgrade improvement to make this app better. This suggestion could go to this FREE app or to the Paid app.
a) Export the tracking by monthy to Excel/email. So that we can save a softcopy to other storage eg. PC,thumb drive.
b) User can choose their level, eg. Beginner, Intermediate, Advance in their profile. And the workout that shown would be sync with their level and gender. So they wont need to choose their workout again.
c) Could print out the magazine article, tips and recipes
d) User can took and save a picture of them before and after using the Fitness app. So they can make the comparison physically from the picture. A gallery menu maybe could be use for store the image.
e) An option for user to see the differences with the premium content. Use video or table comparison.
f) Mini dictionary description about the body part, muscle or any gym/workout term. So that the beginner user could understand more.

You guys are known for your great fitness apps
This is an excellent way for someone to see what your apps have to offer. The content is great and shows you what you have to do for each exercise.

If you're just getting started with exercising, then this app is for you. Simply pick one of the ready-made workouts and take off. You'll be shown exactly what to do. This applies to working out at home or going to the gym. The gym is intimidating enough your first few times there and you want to make sure you're not wasting your time.

The thing I like about Arawella's apps is that they all include Yoga. Yoga is good stuff and a huge part of fitness. Look at P90X ... every other day is Yoga.

As awesome as this app is, I do have a few suggestions:
* One of the things that confused me at first is the wide variety of fitness apps that you guys have available. At first glance, it's not immediately obvious as to what specialties each one includes. For example, is it better to get this one and unlock all of the content or is it better to buy 'Fitness for iPad'?
* I'm a huge fan of universal apps. Your fitness apps are the perfect candidate for universal builds. One app, two devices, all of my data synced between the two via iCloud.

Best free fitness app!

For a free app, Fitness HD: 700 exercises and yoga poses certainly provides more than you would expect. With ready made workouts and hundreds of exercises to choose from, there is no excuse to not try this app for its free price.

Each exercise has very detailed instructions to ensure that you are most efficient with your fitness routine, as well as detailed pictures that assists you to accomplish your goal. Given the large range of exercises, they are conveniently split into sub groups to make life easy. One suggestion I would like to make at this point is for the exercises to be listed under the headings: beginner, intermediate and advanced, and then for them to be arrange alphabetically. This would save time finding exercises that would most suit our needs.

Also, it would be a nice feature to add if the pictures and instructions could be transferred to the PC in, for example, pdf format as not everyone would bring their iPad when they work out in the gym.

Furthermore, a simple search feature would be handy. Given the extensive nature of the workout and exercise database, it would be much more convenient if you could search for the exercise/workout you want rather than to scroll through the entire section.

For a free app, Fitness HD certainly delivers in quality and depth. However, I would recommend everyone to purchase the full version if you're serious about getting healthy and fit!

Reviewed as billyjon on iTunes USA:

I decided to give this app a spin after looking at the screenshots. First, I like to say that the food and body tracker and magazine content are not free. They are available via the in-app purchase. Buying the premium content at $17.99 is a good deal if you are going to use this app for 1 year. If you buy the individual workouts, they will expire after some time so it is good to go for the yearly package.

Under my workouts, you can add your list of workouts under "quick recipes" or "fast mode". There is plenty of blank space under your custom workouts which I feel goes to waste here. The interface can add some sample health articles which is more detailed than the ones found in the magazine section. This will give the users a "feel" of what kind of articles are given under magazine before they subscribe to it.

When I tried to add a workout under "fast mode", the selected ones will be ticked. After that, I need to give my custom workout a name. If I did not name it, it will prompt me "workout validation - workout name". The error message should be user-friendly. It should say "please fill in the workout name to save".

There is another point I wish to say is that in this app, there is no profile associated with the user. In the previous apps, I need to key in my weight and it will calculate my bmi etc. Whenever I add exercises under "fast mode", I am required to fill in my weight in kg. If this data is captured under my profile, I do not need to fill in this data again and again in all the exercises in "fast mode".

This app has some strengths though. You can share the workouts with your friends via facebook or twitter so that they can benefit as well from the exercises. It will be nice to know that your friends are doing the same workouts like you when you guys meet together. This fitness app is definitely polished but needs some adjustments to make the users feel at ease doing the workouts regarding the interface as above mentioned.

This app is quite awesome as a trial version of the Premium version, you can have a taste of the Premium version without paying a cent, so sweet. Fairly excellent fitness app for the iPad as a freebie. Really saves a lot.
I like the blue icon, very fresh and fancy. The interface is such neat and delicate as other viaden apps, makes it very easy to use. Still you can access to the huge collection of guidence of excercises and yoga (Text are free of charge, you need to subscribe for videos and audio).
Here you can find most workout for the exercises and yoga. Helps a lot to keep fit. And calorie counter and body tracker also other features can be accessed after subscription. Make this app the ultimate all-in-one fitness app. Also it is available that workouts stats can be shared on Facebook or twitter. Works like a charm though free. Awesome app.

Great Free Fitness App for Starters

This is the lite version of Fitness for iPad. Like the full version, the app looks extremely polished. And it has an unbelievably huge collection of workouts.

With such a detailed database, surely you will get the correct form. The images are accurate. Besides, you can track a lot of useful information (distance, duration, weight, etc) about each of your session.

Moreover, the app has several other professional utilities, namely, Calorie Counter, Body Tracker & BMI. (Premium content)

But I do has some suggestions:

1. The app has a very polished UI. But sometimes it looks quite confusing. When you choose from the quick recipes, the users might not notice the categorization because it looks too dark. I think if add a icon for each categorization, it will be more intuitive for new users.

2. When you are in workout session, the interface does not arrange all the information very clearly. The timer icon should be bigger. And the row of icons should be put beneath the workout instruction image.

3. I hope an iCloud sync option will be available soon. I know this will be tricky. But that will make this app a killer! I am dying to integrate their information on iPhone and iPad.

4. I wish I can add a happy or a sad face after I finished today's session. It's like a diary feature. And I think it will help me keep exercising. But this might be too goofy. LOL

This is a great free fitness app. If you are start with exercising, you really should try this!!!

This is a powerful and professional fitness app! Thank you for making such an amazing app!

Lately I'm trying to lose some weight and shape my body, but I don't want to spend lots of money to hire someone to help me make workout plans and track the everyday workout. Finally I found Fitness. It is so perfect that it fit all my needs. It has thousands of fitness and yoga exercises with detailed text, photo and video instructions. With several build-in tools it can calculate calorie, track my body. The new UI is well designed, I like it although it is a little complicated for me. The preset workouts are good and enough for me. It would be better if it could be updated from time to time.It now became the only workout app in my iPad.Highly recommended.

Something needs to be improved:

1. When I try to select food in the database, it is a bit slow in response. I guess the food database is online instead of local. Can you provide an option to download the database and update it from time to time? So that I could still use it when there's no wifi or 3G network.
2. It would be better if I could setup a reminder in the app to remind me to fill new data of my body in the Body tracker. I always forgot to fill it. And of course it would be better if it could sync with the Calendar app like the reminder of Training Plan do.
3. Can you provide an option to select background music when I'm doing the workouts?
