Q: What do you like most about it?
A: I like that each day is totally different and because you can see and hear the trainers, it’s extremely encouraging and easy to come back to each day! Last week I worked out 5 days in a row and that has never happened for me before. I genuinely look forward to going downstairs to my living room, pulling out my mat, and showing up to the workouts each day. I also love all of the yoga moves that are incorporated into a majority of the workouts. I was never a huge yoga person until recently and I love how it helps add clarity before I start my day. I also LOVE the fact that you can attend these “classes” and do the workouts from anywhere. It helps me save time each day rather than driving to a gym and you get a great workout in with little to no equipment. One other thing I love is with the studio classes, while they can be done at home and at convenient times, once you join the class, you can’t pause it… the class goes on! That was one thing that always got me about at-home workouts, the ability to pause and stop, but with these studio classes, it’s really like you are in a class full of other people!
Q: What does TIU have that other programs did not have?
A: The encouragement and community-feel along with the convenience factor is a combination that can be hard to find. I feel like I get the best of both worlds with this app and you can make it as hard as you want to. If you feel like the daily moves aren’t enough for you, you can add an on-demand class for whichever area you want to tone. A lot of girls create a specific Instagram account for Tone it Up which adds to the ever-growing #TIUteam community too. And, if all of that is not enough, try visiting their website for a daily blog posts full of smoothie recipes, fitness tips, nutrition plans, and more! I really sound like I’m being paid to say all of this and I’m definitely not, I just really love that I found a program that feels such a good fit for me!
Q: What has been your overall experience so far?
A: My overall experience so far has been really refreshing and hopeful. I actually look forward to working out every single day (well, M-F) and it never seems like something I “have” to do but more of something that I genuinely want to do to get my mind in the right place while also toning my entire body. I love how it saves me time because I don’t have to leave my house but if I wanted to, it can easily be done at the gym too. I also love how each day is totally different and I feel like I’m being surprised with a fun and encouraging workout each day. Also, if you haven’t tried their plant-based protein powder, I am seriously addicted to the vanilla flavor!
