ATHLEAN-X™Reviews of athleanx.com

GENERAL COMMENTS: I’m 58 and have worked out all my life, starting with the routines coaches gave me in Jr. high and high school. Years ago, I found one of Jeff’s YouTube videos about a killer leg workout and started including that in my weekly routine. That clued me in to the concept of “functional fitness” and training to have a USEFUL body instead of just a good-looking one. I started incorporating more Athlean-X stuff into my workouts and eventually purchased AX-1, completed it, bought AX-2 and completed that. I’ve done AX-1 twice now and am doing AX-2 again. It’s the same the second time around, but with more weight. This isn’t a problem, because there’s so much variety built into the workouts that they don’t get boring. RESULTS: I had experienced life-interrupting back pain periodically ever since college. No more, not since I started AX-1 the first time. Switching back and forth from my desk job to working on my property (landscaping, building, gardening projects, horse chores), mountain biking, skiing, hunting or backpacking, is no big deal. Every micro-muscle and ab I need (to do real work and have real fun) is in shape and ready for the task. I don’t look like Lou Ferrigno, but I’ll wager I could pull him out of a burning building if he needed me to. SAVINGS: After buying a couple of inexpensive things for my 10’x12’ home “gym,” I no longer have the monthly expense of a gym membership or the gas expense or time spent getting there. Plus, I only paid a modest amount *one time* for each of these two programs, which I can use for life. USER INTERFACE: It would be nice to have an app instead of the mobile-optimized website, but this is a trivial concern vs. all the above benefits I’ve received.

I have used a number of the Athleanx programs, AX1, Shred, Xero, Size, Beast. Very happy with the results. Each program uses slightly different methods and focuses on different goals, Combine the workout programs with the YouTube videos and its a great combo for me. Whether I am at the GYM, at home or even when travelling, I can always find a way to fit in a workout. Jeff is the best, most honest, most consistent coach I can find online. I can trust that he wants to help me succeed and live a healthy athletic lifestyle.

I am so disappointed with AthleanX Web page. Honestly i think that it is one of my worst buy of my life. Youtube channel is really great so i thought that premium content will be even better,but it is very bad. way worse than in youtube. Muscle gain and fat loss program AX-1 is complete waste of time. Exercises are as basic as it can be and there is almost no technique explanation. And then there is meal plan. There is no calories, Nutrients, serving size or anything in that way. Just basic food name. After 20 minutes in this page i searched how to get refund. Of course you can't get one. Even if you have used the webpage for one day. Can't recommend to anyone.

My experience here is somewhat mixed. I did AX-1 a couple of times, but kept failing the final exam. Sure, you could say that's on me, but I'll be honest and say I didn't gain a lot of muscle or strength on this program. I was eating right, attending without fail and throwing in a couple of TNTs every week, but I just sort of plateaued. I think the issue for me is that this program focuses a lot on isolation exercises and 'conditioning'. And while I understand it is a program for novices, the glaring lack of regular big, compound lifts means progress in terms of building stregth is very slow. There's only one day a week where lower body really gets a look-in too, so I found my gains to be unevenly distributed more towards upper-body, with my leg development lacking. Ultimately, the whole 'train like an athlete thing' is just not for me. I would rather be big, ripped, and lift heavy and often, focusing on size and strength. Four weeks of Jeff Nippard's fundamentals programme has done more for my gains than six months of Athlean X. I'd also echo another review here in that many of Athlean X's AX-1 exercises are overly elaborate. Unnecessarily so. Examples are many, but I want to spend more time working out than setting up and I have actually missed parts of the workout on some days as the exercises required me to span two pieces of equipment, both of which had to be available. Finally, the rest periods. In AX-1, the rest periods between sets are 1 minute in almost all cases. This is too short. Let's say you're doing back squats. You're expected to rep to failure, with the 12th rep constituing that failure and the weight adjusted to make a 13th rep impossible. Apart from this being hard to calculate, let's say you do your first set to failure, then hit the stopwatch and wait a minute. After a minute, you've not had enough rest and you will likely manage no more than 6-7 reps on your second set unless you take off some weight. The science recommends 3-4 minutes between big compound movements, and when you do it this way you can get to 12 on each set, maximising volume and time under tension. Similarly the best rest period for isolation exercises is two minutes not one. With only one minute, sets two and three (and four) are massively compromised. If you want to get bigger and stronger there are much better programs. If you want to get 'fit' then there's nothing wrong with Athlean X. If you're a beginner and need a stepping stone to a better understanding of fitness in general, this is a good choice, and the community is always there to help when you get stuck, which makes it worth the money you will pay.

Confused about when I am allowed to return product and because of that they would not allow me to return. Horrible customer service!

I think the exercises were good but they were not what I needed and what I expected. I emailed them and they responded quickly asking about what I didn't like and gave me a refund. A+ customer service would definitely recommend buying this service.

Bought and loved the Inferno Shred programme, it is fabulous and the digital content top notch. When completing the Inferno Shred, moved on to Athlean X as the website suggested, and its awful. The exercises are not nearly as good and the video content is amateur. Athlean wont refund or exchange. I dont know what the other programmes are like but the policy is pretty lame. Of course they cannot tell if you are trying them all out and just asking for a refund but at what point is there any trust? This programme is genuinely poor. Lost customer

I am 41, I’m 285lbs. I have always been involved in sports , football, basketball, all sports really. I have 5 kids and a wife. I have been injured for about 5 years. Small tear in right meniscus. I have also been dealing with lower back spasm’s for along time to the point i couldn’t get off the floor for days. I recently watched a video about lower back pain relief. I have tried a lot of things chiropractic care., massage and so on. The wall to hip extension changes my life. I have never been able to get that feeling of relief. I was amazed to the point that i wanted to thank Jeff for his post. I feel more centered. I am looking forward know to being able to do squats with power again well soon anyways
