Review summary

The reviews largely condemn Zen Labs’ shift from one-time purchases to a subscription model. Many users report being locked out of content they already paid for and a lack of grandfathering, plus updates that remove features. Customer support is frequently criticized as unhelpful. Additional complaints include UX issues (opening to community highlights, no intensity control, limited customization) and questions about value at monthly fees. A minority still finds basic use appealing when bought upfront or for short-term motivation, but overall sentiment is strongly negative.

Pros

Motivation and confidence boost from the sit-up challenge for some users.
When purchased at a low upfront cost, it provides a simple, straightforward routine.
Some reviewers note the app offers a clear structure and timer-based approach that can guide workouts.

Cons

Forced subscription after prior purchase; no grandfathering of existing users or content.
Updates/remove features that were previously paid for, effectively locking users out unless they pay again.
Poor or unresponsive customer support, with reports of ignored emails and slow/unhelpful refunds.
UX/UI issues: app often opens to a community highlight instead of the workout, and there is no option to adjust intensity; rest times are not customizable.
Perceived poor value for money; monthly fees viewed as excessive for a basic interval/training app.

2023-12-12	Bo*****	The app never opens directly to the workout but instead always opens to a community highlight. Also, there is no opting to change the workout intensity based on fitness level.

2021-01-29	Ca*****	I purchased a few apps from Zen Labs Fitness in 2019 with the understanding that it was a one time purchase. Now I’m locked out of my apps because of a forced subscription. Multiple emails to customer service to fix the issue have been ignored. Beware.

2021-01-26	ji*****	I purchased the sit-ups, push-ups, pull-ups, and squats package and now I’m locked out and they won’t answer my email. Zen labs contacted us and unlocked the account.

2021-01-22	mt*****	Two years ago I paid $29.99 for their unlimited running and weight training app. Since then (last month) they “changed their model” and have a subscription service. Never mind my contract. Never mind their word. If I want to access portions of some of the apps I PAID for in full I have to pay $10 a month. Not worth it. These are simple apps no one should pay $10/ month for. Add to that that they lie and go back on their word, why work with them at all. And when I email support they send me to Apple for a refund. Apple will not refund a two year old purchase no matter what their contract says. This company is irresponsible and they are liars. Stay away. Stay far away. Give them none of your money.

2021-01-22	jo*****	I paid for this and other apps in one of their bundles. Now they’ve pulled the rug out from under me and made this a stupid subscription-based app with freaking ads! This is unconscionable!

2020-12-27	jb*****	Another developer drops paid app for subscription. There are plenty of apps that don’t have subscriptions. Don’t fall for the trap.

2020-12-23	Pu*****	I paid full price for the set of these apps for full access now they have locked my apps and trying to charge me $4.99 a month for unlimited access. What a joke. Why did I have to pay for them in the first place ?
