4PillarsFit Hack 1.8 + Redeem Codes

Did my first workouts from the Minimalist plan this weekend and loved it! I’m fairly new to weight and interval training but found this app super easy to use and love the videos showing you the workouts. I was nervous the exercises might be too complex for me but haven’t had any issues and it seems most can be modified for your fitness/intensity level. I was glad you don’t need a lot of equipment because usually I just workout in my living room or driveway - this was perfect for what I’m used to while also giving me a bit of a challenge with new moves. Can’t wait to see what’s next!

THE TRAINING - The actual programming from the coaches look pretty good but there are a few issues. There are no alternate exercises so if you’re missing a piece of equipment, too bad. There are no program descriptions (program goal/fitness level/training modality). There are no RX weight for any of the exercises. There are only 3 plans available, which you have to pay to see. Looking through a program to try to identify what equipment/exercises you will need if you decide to select that plan is a giant pain because of the way workouts and programs are laid out.

THE APP- videos take way too long to load or just crash and don’t work at all. A lot of exercise names get cut off and you can’t read the names of the exercises. No written description of exercises forces users to use broken video.

I understand this was launched a couple days ago and there will be bugs but for $15/mo it would have been nice to see something better. This app feels rushed to market.

Hoping to see more from this app. Truthfully I want to keep supporting anything TK does, and I had high hopes for this. That being said…

I’m pleased with the intensity in the paid workouts, but there really needs to be some added features, especially for $15/mo. For instance, having a timer as you move to each workout or group would be helpful. As it stands right now, the timer takes up the whole screen and you can’t watch a video or remind yourself of reps without clicking out of the timer. Also it’s kind of disappointing that the Intermediate plan is literally the same exercises for 10 weeks in a row. But if that’s going to be the case it would be great to have fields to put your weights so you can track progress.

It’s very incomplete and basic for a fitness app, much less one that’s $15/mo… I’m not sure that value is there as it stands. Yeah they’re good workouts, but there’s not variety from week to week. Needs more features.

First off, I love TK, big admirer here. I follow him, support him, share many of the same values.

The work outs, and philosophy of fitness is great, but the flow when actually working out is not my idea of user friendly. I like how you can play each video on command, and see/follow along, but when I press “begin workout” I want those videos to keep rolling one after another. Especially in the circuits. Of course with a pause button, skip forward/skip back 10s. Having to stop and navigate the app between each video is very annoying. Maybe other people don’t find this an issue and that’s fine, just putting this out there hoping they will see it, hear it as constructive criticism, and offer an option to play through the entire workout.

Stay sweaty my friends.

So glad I found this app! Tim’s workouts are transforming the way athletes prepare! But, I’m not superstar and to have this incredible amount of helpful information is amazing. Plus I always have something new to do each day! So far this app has held me accountable and I feel like my cardio is better. I feel like I had been wasting so much time doing gym exercises that didn’t help me athletically.

I dig the programming but if you could combine the programming here with the Keelo app it would be amazing. Keelo app is perfect in but lacks this great programming

It would be great to be able switch out equipment. Have a video of the exercise your doing as you progress through the program and scale certain programs

Also better details on the program. Some of the math and times doesn’t add up. It will say 20 minutes is the total timing but than 10 rounds of EMOM with 3 exercises. 3 exercises in a minute seems aggressive but otherwise each movement gets its own minute for 10 rounds which would be 30 minutes total.

I am trying the advanced workouts. They are good; varied but thorough across the body’s major muscle groups and fitness needs. Challenging too. But, and this is a big but, there is no way to record my progress or make notes about my performance. This makes it almost impossible to track unless I want to spend 20 minutes each workout separately recording results in another program. And, this is another big problem, There is no advice on time between sets or recommended weight. If I weren’t experienced I’d be lost, probably wasting too much time. For something that costs $120 per year, expensive for an app, I’d hoped for more. Unless you have a lot of experience, don’t use this app.

I’ve been waiting for this app, but was somewhat disappointed when I first downloaded. First off, I’m in an area (not back home) where wifi is spotty at best. So the videos will never load. I was hoping maybe the workouts would have somewhat of a description for each one, and possibly coaching cues. Secondly, not being at a place that has all the gym equipment you could hope for, there are no alternatives listed for a workout. Finally, it seems it might have been rushed just to try and make as much money as possible. I think it will be a great app once some more thought and detail is put into it.

TK and Juan are the most passionate trainers I have ever seen, especially through an app. The exercises are difficult, which means there is longevity. They’re already adding more programs and it looks like we are only at the beginning of this journey. This app is a must for anyone looking to change their physique and their lifestyle.

I spent a week with this app trying it out. Emailed a question to the support link in the app but never got an answer. I feel like there is more work to be done on this app and hopefully it won’t be one of those things where they spend a lot of time creating it initially and then they just leave it and let it earn what it earns. It just feels incomplete. If they continue to improve it I might try again but they need better customer support for a subscription-based product.
