People need human support & accountability to make difficult behavior changes like better exercise & nutrition. But personal trainers are just too expensive! Kickoff combines an app & SMS to provide daily training from a certified trainer for $3 a day.
I was tired of feeling like I just couldn't get to the gym, eat right, or get to my fitness goals. I just couldn't do it. Things would always come up, work was hard, life was stressful. And no amount of inspirational memes was working for me. Kudos has changed that. No joke. I do not review random stuff. I am writing this review for people like me who may just be tired of feeling like their fitness goals just sort of keep slipping away. I have gone from 185 lbs to 168, and sure that has taken a year, but you know what? I would NOT have gotten there without Kudos. The idea of, scheduling requirements, and cost of group fitness or personal training just isn't for me. And when I finally accepted that, I realized that something like Kudos could work for me. And it has. It's really cheap too, when you consider how much I spend on coffee alone. I've had a few friends and folks I love sign up recently and it makes me happy to think that they're going to be getting the kind of results I've gotten for myself. I love me my Kudos. Thank you guys.
Pros:Helps you achieve fitness goals you can't get to alone
Cons:None, honestly.

I've been using Kudos for my personal training for a few months and so far the experience has been really good.
Previously, I tried ClassPass, and many other workout apps (such as Freeletics etc). But there was never a service that can meet my personal needs perfectly. Also, trainers keep adjusting the workout plans based on my feedbacks. For example, we decide to do jogging instead of rowing because my hip hurt after sitting too long. Most importantly, the feeling of someone instead of some app notification to remind you to work out definitely makes myself more accountable to go to the gym on a regular basis.
I would recommend Kudos to my friends who don't want to spend too much money on personal training (in person training costs about ~$600 in SF a month), but still want the personal fitness plan and experience. It's a game changer for me and I never regret it.
Pros:- Hold myself accountable for my workout.
- Help to build muscle and achieve my personal goals.
Cons:Nothing much so far.

I was in the the hunt for an online coach/trainer that could help me make some changes to my gym workouts. I came across kudos in my search and decided to try them out. I had a phone conversation with my coach Janelle and she laid everything out for me and how the program works. Janelle holds me accountable which is what I need. Her workouts are challenging and are never boring. She always keeps me on my toes and pushing myself. She sends me a weekly spreadsheet of what I will be doing each day for the next week on Fridays and then sends me a link the day before of my actually workout. The workout links even contain visuals of the actually exercises which I find to be helpful. I checkin with her daily. I have seen good results in just a month. Looking forward to more progress.
Pros:love kudos
Cons:None

I've used Kudos for the past six months, and in that time I've gone from a casual user to a strong promoter. Kudos was the first technology product that really got me into the gym and pounding the pavement.
I was skeptical that the product would continue to provide results after the initial "honeymoon" phase but it continues to be rock solid and transitioned me from being road race focused (Kudos trained me from half marathon to marathon) into a mostly gym/lifting focused athlete.
Would recommend Kudos to anyone who wants a personal trainer. Kudos obliterates the in-person personal trainer price point and beats them on scheduling because the app is "always on."
Pros:achieved my goals, high-touch feedback, very responsive
Cons:makes you sweat!
