Imagine you are a smart fitness Mat would be in the living room, the you your fitness exercises office manual directly claims to be. So a sub-location that makes a playful fancy movement – so similar, like the time in “Twister”.

Who does not remember: it was in the 1990s, popular and very active society of game hinged on one with colorful circles painted foil.

A hub with a combination of a color and the body Moves before the part was on the film and the game culminated in the fact that the knot of arms, legs, and bodies crashed at some point and all of the players laughing on the floor.

Test conclusion: FitterYOU helps beginners

FitterYOU App Screenshots

We had the opportunity to test the FitterYOU Mat velvet App-Coach – and were impressed with how comprehensive the App is, or how much the artificial intelligence into Detail about.

In doing so, we have opted for Coach Martin was for our taste a little too cheerful and talkative. For example, we were not able to remove the friendly, muscular athletes all that he was after the first beginners Workout “totally finished”.

On the Mat, certainly, even experienced athletes can learn, thanks to the markers for one or another correction in the exercise, execution or new ideas from the Pool of a total of 200 Exercises to try out.

Pleased to see that the AI takes account of small aches and pains such as a stiff neck or broken football knee, and you can also train sports specific.

Convincing: Personal approach and look of the App

In each Workout Video, you will be greeted personally, the fun. The optics and Clarity of the App also.

The choices of music genres and trainers are a nice idea, worked in the Test but not always reliable.

Complex App with a few interruptions

So the App is crashed, unfortunately, after the extensive Fitness Check. Therefore, we had to go one more Time in the exchange jumps, then pulse, and finally, the repetitions of various strength include exercises.

A Workout had to be completely from the beginning – the App has to be technically retrofitting, and more.

Explanations are too detailed

The first Workout was in spite of the previous performance tests, something soft and slow: Although the positions are held on the Mat for a long and for a certain muscle stress and strain are taken care of.

But for our taste it could be more dynamic sequences during the Workouts – not just the few “mountain climbers” at the end.

The explanations were detailed, often too – unfortunately you can’t always fast forward. We wanted to get started and sweat.

Good price-performance ratio – up to now

For beginners, the course to the target group of FitterYOU, the product is quite exciting. Especially since the price is really fair.

However, to date, also questionable, what is the App subscription will cost after the trial period of three or six months. Without a Premium subscription, the App offers little more value.

For the Mat you must allow more space than I thought – it consists of two juxtaposed mats. HIIT-Fans will come here to their costs.

We give FitterYOU still have a Chance

Maybe we need to give our Coach of choice, Martin, also a Chance, in the hope that it then leads to less talking and our last training Feedback him to call us the next time you Workout harder.

In the ideal case, so that we then re-finished, but happy, rolling on the floor – like the time in the 90s when “Twister”.
