Nike Training Club

Description:

"Nike Training Club is a training app that gives you your own personal trainer, anytime, anywhere. Get lean, toned and strong with over 60 custom-built workouts, including new training regimens from five professional athletes, while you earn NTC reward workouts from Lea Michele and Rihanna’s personal trainer, Ary Nuñez."

Recommendation:

This app is just beautiful. It's worth downloading just for it's sexiness, but be warned it has a hefty download size at nearly 500meg.

It is easy to use, with plenty of different program options. All the moves in the program have a video to demonstrate the moves, however this can make for a fairly disjointed workout until the moves become familiar.

One major criticism of the workouts is the science behind the programming of the workouts. In workouts that were tested, it seemed like the moves were up/down/up/down without regard for the time it takes to switch between the moves. Being able to choose your own playlist to run in the background is, however, a huge plus for motivation.

Pros:

• Excellent look and feel, easy to navigate
  
• Plays any custom play list you setup
  

Cons:

• Very large download size
  
• Workouts don't always flow well
