Great App. High quality. App learns you but you can still adjust

Changing the game. Absolute game changer. The developer did an outstanding job meshing the training ideologies of Boris himself with the data capabilities of a smart app (as well as a great user experience). The biggest pro for this app is how closely tied the developer is with the users’ feedback. He takes the time to respond meaningfully to multiple posts daily to the forum pages, which gives the users a better understanding of the app AND means that each version is better than the next. Pricing is beyond fair. And not gonna give away any spoilers but BIG THINGS ARE COMING with Sheiko Gold! Only caveat is that this is an app for powerlifters or for individuals looking to train squat, bench, and deadlift. This is very clear from the app description. Use Robert’s other app, Strongur, for other lifting related goals.

Easily the best training app I’ve used. I really love this app. Quick background, I’m an amateur power lifter who was looking for a program that adjusted for me and was easy to use. I was already familiar with the Sheiko style of programming (focus on the big lifts in the 65%-85% range with frequent training) so gravitate to this app. I’ve used it for two months now. The first month is an observation period where you enter what you’re already doing and it learns from you. Once that is through then it programs for you. It will adjust mid session if things are too hard or too easy so each time you train it’s based off how you are feeling. The app is well done and is really simple to use. Besides giving you your daily training it will track your readiness and fatigue level. It’s simple to use and very intuitive. It’s continually updated and you can tell that the author really cares about it. Highly recommended.

Love it.. I love the app and the workouts that it recommends, strength and muscle are both increasing rapidly as a natural lifter.

Not worth the money. Really bad UX A lot of bugs You have to add a lot of exercises manually No apple watch support I'll use the app for one more month to see if the program is any good.

Sheiko Gold. Excellent powerlifting app. I have ran a few now but this one is like having the coach on your phone.

Sheiko Gold. So far so good, still in observation period but like the features it’s given me so far.

Amazing idea. Well thought out and executed app. The detail and forethought that went into this is incredible.

More Than Just Sheiko. This app keeps getting better with every update. It’s more than Sheiko. You can add your own exercises and build your own workouts.

Like it so far.. I like during the rest period it shows the next set weight and reps. Wish when you had completed that exercise and are in your rest period it showed what the next workout was and not just “prepare for next exercise”

(This rating only refers to the initial observation period). (This rating only refers to the initial observation period) I purchased the regular Sheiko app way back and used it for nearly 2 years and it produced the greatest strength gains I ever saw. A few years off due to hernia surgeries, motorcycle falls, etc... I thought I’ll try the AI version. During the observation period Boris would chime in to advise load changes, or even give me a complete routine - until today, when I updated the app. Those features have been removed it appears. Otherwise would be 5 stars - the same as the standard version.

Great app. Very user friendly

Love this app. This app has definitely helped me track what I’m doing and understand training on a whole different scale. My deadlift has increased by 50lbs, my bench by 15, and my squat by 10 lbs just learning the variations, cycling volume and intensity. I love this app legitimately.

Great app. Great for tracking workouts and will point you in the right direction if you do not understand programming. Would recommend using the easy version for awhile til you get used to the volume. Hard Boris is unforgiving.

One app to rule them all. Legit. Couldn’t be more happy so far.

Absolutely Fantastic !!!. First let me state, I am NOT a competitive powerlifter. But I am a competitive amateur athlete that has made a living as a full-time personal trainer and coach for the last 25 years. This app has everything a serious lifter could ask for to quantify their training. HRV, RHR and other metrics to assess athlete readiness before and RPE during the workout vs. loads, reps and sets; all combine to create an impulse response model to training that is the best I have seen for the gym. You can add your own exercises to your app’s library and the entries are very specific and detailed. You can add velocity accelerometer data that synchs to the app. And this is just scratching the surface. The thought that went into this is simply outstanding. But this app isn’t for everyone. This app is for athletes that value optimizing and quantifying training loads and are students of the craft. It will take about 30 days of entries before the AI in the app becomes helpful and you must enter the data, all of it. If you can’t do that you’re wasting your time. But for the focused and disciplined this app delivers!

Couldn’t be happier. I’m about half way through my first cycle and could not be happier! Easy to use all the guess work for programming is gone. The programming is balanced and all ways seems to be right on, I’m looking forward to seeing the results at the end of the year! At 51 it feels really good to be excited about training again

Superb Customer Service. Been using off and on for years. Had a problem and reported bug. Got an email response from developer not some underling the actual developer and emailed back and forth until issue was resolved. Not only that but the strength and size gains on this app is absolutely amazing. Best program I have used since beginning weight training 30 years ago. If i could give more stars I would so I guess I can do multiple reviews lol.

Amazing app and more amazing dev. This is truly one of the best fitness apps that Ive used and if you are into powerlifting you owe it to yourself to at least give this a shot. Sheiko is one of the few training methodologies I had yet to try and the results so far have been phenomenal. I feel like the app is pushing me just hard enough to make progress but not too hard that I burn out and injure myself. I always leave the gym feeling accomplished. The developer is quite possibly one of the best around. Always active on the Facebook group and pretty much pushing out weekly updates for bug fixes and new features. Really excited to see what else is in store for this app. I don’t see myself going back to training without it any time soon.

Great. Still figuring me out but I like the feedback it give you and engagement

Gets better each day. The amount of work put in this app is amazing and the developers biggest concern is keeping it updated and working. I'm excited to continue my lifting journey through this app

Retired trainer review. The developer of this app has the technical skills for app development plus the personal experience of an elite team and individual trainer. Excellent in depth progressions and AI interface.

Can't imagine powerlifting without it now. AI coach doing automatic workout generation with weight adjustments on the fly takes all the guess work out of my gym sessions.

Learning as I go. I’m a beginner, so the App takes some study to understand. It also takes some patience to lift lighter than you want, initially, to grow... but the process has worked for me. The App makes tracking much easier. Worth every Penny.

Love it!. Just out of the 30 day observation period and I really enjoy the workouts so far. Easy to use and customize.

Best weightlifting/powerlifting app. I tried every program and app out there - 5/3/1, nSuns, PHUL, GZLP, etc., and this is hands down by far the best program I used and the best app catered to animate the possibilities of this program.

Love it so far!. I love the flexibility this app gives me. That feature is probably the number one reason I’d recommend it. My schedule varies and so following a rigid, x-day per week program where you get everything a week or a month ahead of time just doesn’t work, or works poorly at best. This figured out volume and fatigue for you so if one week you can lift 4 days, great. If the next its only 3, great.

i love this app. can we please get an ios 16 permanent widget with the time remaining between lifts? Also, for non competition lifts, can we get some information on how many sets we should be doing? without this, the next time you do a lift it just makes the number of sets whatever you did last time. Thanks!!

Old Uncle Whiskey. Love the app.

excellent app!. reacts instantly and accurately to inputs, moderates volume and intensity accordingly

Subscription based. I did the observation period, and today I unexpectedly ran into the subscription part. It wouldve been nice for it to tell you that before your’e observation period.

Awesome. As someone who loves the old spreadsheet workouts from Ivan, the new exercises in the app are awesome and I really dig the timer also.

Great app. Try it out! It’s worth your time.

Love the AI. Great app!

App is great but major recent bug. Been using this for 7 months and it’s been great, but all of a sudden after an incremental iOS update, it reverted back to templates and stopped generating workouts and restoring data doesn’t fix it. It’s like starting over, and I’m not even sure if I do another month of template workouts if it will resume programming.

Good So far, really enjoying. Professional, clean and easy to use. Maybe add more options for the recovery screen. I don’t like being locked in the count down screen. My mind wants to look at the upcoming exercises, not just a running clock Dk if that feature was intentional, to keep users engaged and focused but yeah that’s how I feel

Old lifter Ben. Good so far but would like to see more supplemental exercises like old fashion pull-ups and chin-ups

Developer Continues To Expand Features. Developer is extremely responsive to feedback and feature requests. Since the initial release there have been countless improvements. The most recent being the addition of a PPL hypertrophy style program for off-season training that has you working in higher rep ranges, and is a nice change of pace.

Might be my first review. This app is crazy good. I’ve used excel sheets up until this point because no app was capable of making me feel like it was superior to an excel sheet. This app is pure gold. Highly recommend.

Apple Watch. Needs to add Apple Watch support ... like the regular Sheiko and stronger app

Love. Dope way to push the programming

wish app was more user friendly. There are too many options and buttons to click, i have no idea what im looking at or what im supposed to be doing. The main screen is too overwhelming.

Great app for me!. I love this app because it does all the planning for my gym sessions. The more I use it, the more I learn and enhance my workouts. My gains have been significant. I highly recommend!

💪💪. Love the app so far

Does everything for you. I’ve competed in powerlifting for over a decade. This app does a much better job than any coach I’ve ever had. You don’t have to think about anything, and the app does a good job of adjusting your volume & intensity so that you get enough effective volume to progress but not so much that you are overly fatigued.

Good sustainable program. Good for long term progress with sustainable variable programming

Productive. Only in my 1st week of use, however I’m liking the IA option, in which it takes the guesswork out of the workouts & so far intelligently setting them. The RPE option is also good, & rest period monitoring to maximize the sets if used correctly.

Great app. Awesome!

Good until the latest version. Works great, particularly with the velocity meter, but the latest update is very buggy. Crashes multiple times per workout and doesn’t record the last set. Of course the bug report function also doesn’t work, so you can’t report all the bugginess.

Powerlifting coach for a fraction of the cost. Love how it adjusts everything towards your needs and preferences. Way more interactive than a spreadsheet.

Love it. Makes training so much easier, whether I’m following the Sheiko routines or doing my own. Subbed for life.

Sheiko training evolved. If you want powerlifting training and can’t get Boris Sheiko to train you, or cannot afford it, this is the next best thing. As far as apps and virtual coaches go, this is the gold standard and there is nothing out there that can hold a candle to this.

Just started out. It collects 30 days of data about what you currently do before prescribing sessions. Quite detailed and you have to enter workout info - sets / reps… as you go. I like that but others may not. It tells me how long to rest between sets. Too soon to see any results….

Really useful. I have been getting back into powerlifting after a 25 year hiatus. Unfortunately, the program I was using back then (H/L DUP) is no longer tenable. Obviously now that I’m much older my recovery is not what it used to be. I have been trying all sorts of programs, varying the intensity and volumes, but always ending up feeling either underdone or overtrained. I had used the regular Sheiko programs before and got some reasonable results before burning out. I find the Sheiko Gold more responsive to my daily situation (work, family, stress etc) and it allows me to train consistently while making strength gains.

Really good all round. App is great for getting a good program. My lifts have spiked in this last month alone. Some thing can be improved in this app such as seeing what’s left in your workout while in the rest period and stopping the AI from moving the weight down when i want to do a set of really heavy all out lifts. All in all though really good app

A serious power lifting coach. If you want to optimise your strength training and you're serious, this is the app for you. It's a real virtual coach that take your input and programs your workouts each and every time you train. The dev has done an outstanding job.

Impressive. I’m still in the observatory period, but this app is unreal. I went from using the JuggernautAI app, which was great but the functionality and style of programming the Sheiko Gold app offers is second to none. It’s intuitive, different, and people get great results from it. I’m excited to keep using the app to not only get stronger but to learn more about this style of programming!

Good app. Been using as a workout tracker for a few weeks. Enjoying it a lot. Keen to start using the features as designed.

Boris is a god. Best ai program you will ever use if you want to get strong and rip some big weight

Best AI based programming app. Most brillant and updated app for workout routine and powerlifting prep. Lifetime subscription is so worth it.

Great app!. Great app for running the Sheiko program. App is updated with new and better features regularly. Well worth the money.

Best app for powerlifting. I am a national medalist, used sheikos programs for mutiple medals over the past few years, I do enjoy the auto regulation features.

Excellent support. Great support for an outstanding app!

Awesome App - 10/10. Highly recommend this app if you want one place for all things Sheiko. Been making great progress on all 3 lifts. Reasonable monthly and one-time price considering standard rates for monthly programming.

Was hopeful, but was left disappointed. No option to delete or log past workouts, and no way to sync data from Sheiko Classic app. Very rigid app that offers very little flexibility.

Awesome. Amazing app. Bought the lifetime membership with zero regrets. The creator is constantly improving and adding features and I can’t wait to see what’s next. I’m making progress without getting injured. Love it.

Amazing. This app is by far the best training App I’ve ever used. By the lifetime membership and you will not regret it. The amount of development Robert Fredrick is putting in to it each and every day is astonishing. Support this.

So far so good. App is well produced with lots of QOL. Cannot comment on the AI parts or any actual gains yet, will update review when I do

Crashing after last update. The app is amazing. However, it’s crashing after the last update, app doesn’t open at all. It’s really frustrating because I rely heavily on the app for my trainings. Also, the fact that I can’t see upcoming training days in details is bad in these situations where I don’t know my next workouts and I can’t open the app at all. Edit: issue was fixed within a couple of hours. Crazy good support.

It's a great app except. Loving the app so far. Only thing that I didn't like is that I was in the middle of Sheiko AML to use for observation time. In fact I have 16 days of observation. Before subscribing was able to pick the AML template but after you subscribe you have to manually put it in. I intend to use sheiko for AI after the template is run but hate having to put the AML in manually. Also would love to be able for the timer to run even after you dismiss and also that after the last set you could see what the next exercise is. It just says. Next exercise. Edit: I see that you updated that. Thanks for listening to your consumers. It would be good if the timer started right when you clicked the new weight though during rpe screen. I have pressed it but not chosen rpe and then when I do the timer starts. Minor detail. Also if you could be able to go in and out of the recovery screen and have that timer independent of that screen that would be good too. update 10/22/2021 - Still a great app , would hope that you could see what workout will be next before choosing Sheiko AI workout as well. In the regular Sheiko app you can see a preview of what your next workout is going to be without opening the training section. Edit: love the updates , small request. If the percentage numbers were next to the values. Just helps a little seeing exact percentages of maxes I’m doing. Thanks for the best updates in any app I ever had. Well worth the money.

Really good, just a few adjustments imo. I really like this app a lot, was my first dive into anything sheiko related as I previously stuck to Jim Wendler’s 5/3/1 for a long time. I have seen really good improvements with this app in terms of my maxes, but to be honest I hated the peak. It seemed tough to be programmed 80-100% of my 1RM 2 weeks before comp, and it didn’t seem too helpful in actually making me peak but this could just be me. If I were to fix anything at all, it would be the peak phase. Other than that, the only other thing I would fix is to look at the amount of weight I’ll be doing later in the day without starting the timer for the workout. This app has been great for upping my numbers though! I seriously love it, was just a little disappointed in the peak phase but that’s something that can be easily fixed by yourself if you know your body or have done your reading on how to peak. Thank you for the great app!

Plan transfer. Can i restore somehow my lifetime plan? I bought it using an android device. Switched to ios recently and i used same credentials in app to log in, but i can’t restore it.
