My brother and I have got benefits from this app.The app really does help to us. We use it for training muscles and keep body figure good.

The app provides a large amount of exercises with detailed videos and images. The instructions are also very comprehensive. Following the trainer, trainees can easily finish the courses and after short term or long term efforts, effects are reflected.

There are over 700 exercises and 300 yoga courses in the app. About 100 ready-made workouts can be suitable for most users. You can also customize your own workouts using the 1000 courses provided.

Videos and images are viewed online by default. But you can download them all to make offline view.

It's very important to track your physical conditions after training. The app also provides a statistics to manage your data. You can track changes and improvements in the app.

Trainings must be done regularly and perseverely. Once you determine a workout or a course to do, you can record it in calendar. When it's time to do excerices, the app will remind you.

Many other premium features such as All-in-Fitness Magazines can be bought via In-App-Purchase.

My brother and I will keep using this app. We both hope this app can make better and better. Here're some suggestions:

1. The extra contents can be downloaded in the app. But when the app is quit unexpectedly, all what have download must be done again. Please make it a pause and function to continue download after unexpected quit.

2. The app supports only western languages now. In order to let more people enjoy the app, there should be more asian languages added.

3. I used German language setting at first. Then switch to English, but there're still some German words left. Such as under the calendar. The training I have already recorded.

All in all, the app is very practical and really worth the price! And it's now on sale! Grab it now!

Updated my review as iPawn4 in the US Appstore.

Why pay for a fitness program or trainer when you can get this All-in-one easy to use and very helpful fitness iOS app! This app got almost everything you will ever need to keep you healthy and track your progress. There's even a video tutorial on how to do the exercise you wish to do. No one can beat this app in the Appstore when it comes to full functionality and ease of access. Another quality app from this great company.

I still have trouble posting review in the app store after redeeming the promo codes..but below would be my review (itunes account is "dtops2")...

All-In Fitness HD

All-in Fitness HD is a great app for those interested in fitness. Other reviews have already mentioned the strengths of the app so I won't go into detail about them. The app has many useful tools (training programs, calorie trackers, various body calculators & tools, and a large set of excercises). The app is pretty easy to use once you learn to navigate the menus. There's a lot of power to track your workouts, and to even modify existing workout programs.

The HD version is nice cause you can see so much more of the exercises at once making browsing the selections of exercises or building your own workout much easier. You can also rotate the app, which is greatly appreciated.

Suggestions:
1. Have the option to download the pictures, workouts instructions and videos, or download all as 4 options. Have a check box next to each option so when checked, the items will be/have been downloaded, and unchecked to delete the deselected data. Have a save confirmation to ensure the data isn't downloaded or deleted immediately after check/unchecking the boxes to prevent accidental downloading/deleting. This is useful option to save on filesize of the app. The current option to download all is pretty large.

2. Not sure how to fit the menu..but have an option to filter the list of exercise for each body part. (ie: If I'm looking at chest excercise, have an additional filter to look at free weights, bench, machine, BOSU, etc.. and let you pick multiple filters).

3. For the video, add a play/pause button with a draggable video position bar so people can drag back and forth to check out poses they're having trouble with.

4. Have a way sync data/profile across different Viaden fitness apps if desired. Syncing (custom) workouts between the normal & then HD version would be nice. It could be done through icloud or other method. Care needs be taken though in case there's custom workouts with the same name.

5. The yoga portion of the app seems tacked on. All the yoga positions are just lumped into one Yoga catagory, not broken down by types of positition. There's also no preset workout programs for yoga (for both included and the premium from what I can see). I'd prefer if the Yoga portion to be removed since its not really helpful, or create a separate catagory for Yoga and include at least a few Yoga workout programs. That being said..the All-in Yoga program is an excellent app, so get that app if you're looking for yoga.

Overall, this is a great app.

Get Fit With Fitness for iPad

I have been using the app for a month. And it is mind-blowing!!!

It's certainly the best fitness app on app store. The app looks extremely polished. And it has an unbelievably huge collection of videos and images. (The description says it has 700+ exercises for men and women & 50 yoga poses with more than 700 video clips, and that's TRUE!)

With such a detailed database, surely you will get the correct form. I really like the clear voice instruction. That just makes my workout much easier. The videos are accurate. Besides, you can track a lot of useful information (distance, duration, weight, etc) about each of your session.

Moreover, the app has several other professional utilities, namely, Calorie Counter, Body Tracker & BMI.

The body tracker is amazing, it allows you to visualize your progress in the form of beautiful graphs, and it even allow you to take photos. With body tracker I am sure I will be motivated everyday!!!

The food tracker is equally important. It help you to monitor the food you eat. And that's important, isn't it? So that will help you to find what food will really help your workouts.

But I do has some suggestions:

1. The app has a very polished UI. But sometimes it looks quite confusing. When you choose from the quick recipes, the users might not notice the categorization because it looks too dark. I think if add a icon for each categorization, it will be more intuitive for new users.

2. When you are in workout session, the interface does not arrange all the information very clearly. I do not think putting the Timer icon on the right side of the screen is not a good idea. (I didn't very quickly find it.) First the timer icon should be bigger. Because it is actually a very important feature. Second, I think the row of icons (audio, movie, muscle, timer) should be put beneath the workout instruction image like this. I think if you rearrange these elements, it will make more sense. Because, first, a user should carefully read all the detailed instruction. Then he looks at the image, and he will get the general idea what the workout is like. If he still doesn't know how to do it, he can watch the video, (which he will not do it every time). And for me, then I will listen to the audio instruction and do my exercises. And finally I will tap the timer (So please make it bigger!).

3. If a image zoom up, you have to tap within the image, so it can go back to normal size. I hope I can tap anywhere on the screen and it will go back to normal size. I believe this practice is more common in iOS development.

4. I hope an iCloud sync option will be available soon. I know this will be tricky. But that will make this app a killer! I know a lot of user are dying to integrate their information on iPhone and iPad.

5. I wish I can add a smiley or a sad face after I finished today's session. It's like a diary feature. And I think it will help me keep exercising. But this might be too goofy. LOL

Anyway, this is a powerful and professional fitness app! Thank you for making such an amazing app!

[LethalApple]

I've posted my review as 'LethalApple' to the US App Store.

This fitness app is a prime example of something that technology, and especially the iPhone and iPad can really help and provide something that we wouldn't have without apps. You can now have videos, photos, tips, trackers and data analysis all in one place, with the ability to carry it around with you. There are a few apps that offer similar features, but this is definitely the best. For this price, it's also something that I would recommend to anybody, as it's fantastic.

To start with, this app has got a lot of great features that I really love. Things like the ability to track various different body parameters and then compare them over time is great, as well as the ability to record everything you eat and keep to a 'budget'. With over 100 workouts, and pictures, text, videos and audio to accompany each of them, it's well covered in that area as well. It's also got lots of features that although small, are little extras that make this a joy to use, like the ability to download all content at once, so you can use it without WiFi, lots of different restaurants on the food tracker, a nice magazine, as well as different profiles so that different users can use it on the same device at the same time. You can't fault it for its features at this price as it's superb for this price.

Even though the app is awesome, there are a few features and changes that could be introduced that I think would improve the experience. While they aren't needed, they would add that little extra polish that makes an incredible app stand out from something amazing.

- iCloud: Although this isn't really needed, as you can manage everything separately, this would be an incredible feature to come. I think it's great that the app has both an iPhone and an iPad version, but it really needs sync between them, and with the ease of iCloud it would be perfect. I find it best to manage everything on my iPad at home, but then I don't have the data with me when I'm on the go. At the same time, if I go to a restaurant to eat something and use the food database to add it, it won't be on my iPad when I get home. iCloud would vastly improve the experience.

- Retina: This one is rather simple, but with the release of the new iPad and the gorgeous retina display, apps really need to be updated. At the moment, this app hasn't been updated and it really doesn't look that good. Since it's also got a lot of photos, images and video this is one of the apps that will best benefit from the change, and with the improvements it will really look amazing.

- Calorie Counter: At the moment, the calorie counter is pretty good, and it's got a lot of different chains, such as big nations ones to more local ones, recipes, popular brands and almost everything I could search for. However, it does lack the choice of other apps, as they can offer over 500,000 choices instead of 300,000! 300,000 is a lot, but it's best to have as much as possible as if you're lacking just one meal from your day it can really mess up your tracker and progress, especially if you're trying to stick to a particular regime.

- Graphics: A few of the graphics, especially the icon look quite old, and certainly not sleek and modern like we get with Apple designed apps. I'd love to see a refresh of the user experience, bringing some nice new graphics to make things look better. It looks ok how it is, but it could certainly be better. Maybe this could come at the same time as retina display support?

- Few Bugs: For the most part, this app was solid, but I did experience a few crashes that I would love to be sorted out. However, a few annoying hiccups did take place, notably as I tried to download all of the content or when I tried to search through all of the food options available. Despite these, they are only small and it's much smoother than other apps that I have tried.

- Individual Workout: I've seen the individual workout option, and it seems like a great price, offering something that a personal trainer would charge a lot more for. However, I'd love to see some additional options, maybe information about the team who produces it, or an example copy. This might make me more likely to buy it. Maybe in the future we could also see additional services, such as a subscription, where the plan is evaluated every so often based on your progress. This would be much better than paying every single time, only for minimal changes.

- Metric/Imperial: I saw the option in the settings, but this didn't seem to change anything even when I restarting the app.

- Gym Locator: With GPS on offer, I'd love to see the ability to search for local gyms, or search by location if you're visiting somewhere else and you don't know where to go. It could include information about the gym, such as address, map, price, website and contact information. Not many apps offer this and it would be a fantastic feature to standout from the crowd.

- Tutorial: This app has a lot of different features, so many in fact that it can be really confusing once you first open it up! Maybe it could include some sample data or a tutorial that you could access if you wanted some help with. I think it would help a lot and cut down on the time that you had to mess around in order to be comfortable with the app.

With everything considered, this app is already perfect. It's packed full of different features that cover almost anything you could ever wish for. Best of all, this is all available at this amazing price. Many similar apps can cost $9.99, but this is just as good and costs a lot less.

Best Fitness App!
Without a doubt this is my one exercise app, if I could get refunded for the others I have bought in the past I would because I seriously doubt that I will ever need another app for working out. That said I hate change and I always cringe with any new updates to my apps,there's always a chance that something will get messed up.

I'm happy to report that not only did they not remove stuff they added more to this already fantastic app.Over 100 new workouts added, the ability to share them with friends, the new magazine, and now you can cater the exercise to your gender, and added the personal workout request to the app itself.
By downloading the content you will give yourself instant access to all the great workouts Quick Recipes give you tailored workouts based on .Goal Level or Gender while Personal Trainer allows you to enter data to have them create a fitness routine for you.

Besides that you still get a video audio and text to teach you each exercise plus the pictures then you also still have that great X-ray pictures showing exactly which muscles are worked with the exercises .

I still wish the audio and video was combined and I found that some exercises especially in the Yoga section lacked video , I also think there should have a warm up section to get your blood flowing before you start include stuff like jumping jacks running in place etc and then there's the Cardio section with no videos or audio at all that's a major issue , lastly they should offer at least one magazine free to let us know exactly what we would be getting with out subscription.
All these things aside it is still without a doubt the best workout app in the entire app store
