    I'm an active guy who is in relatively decent shape, and I just started using the Nike Training Center app. Though the app is targeted at females, the workouts themselves are entirely uni-sex and I have been using similar routines in my non-NTC workouts. If you are familiar with Tough Mudder, the circuit-style, time-based training they recommend to prepare for that event is similar to several of the workouts in NTC. And based on the fact that there is a minimal amount of equipment required, and that the workouts can be completed in your home, I couldn't recommend it more. Bear in mind, I am looking to define, strengthen, and tone existing musculature, as well as increase my overall stamina. This app is not designed to significantly increase muscle mass or bulk up. You'll need more weight and gym for that. And granted, I 'm still a member of my local gym, but if I can get the results that I am looking for using this app in combination with long distance running, I will very seriously consider canceling my membership. Excellent work Nike.

    i exercise 6 or 7 times a week and eat healthily religiously - I don't have a hrm but when I do the nike work outs I don't find them as hard as my average run or gym session..so I don't really think I burn 300 calories? Really confused with this one because I want to be able to track my calories accurately without forking out cash for a watch :(

    I have the exact same query! I'm starting to think it doesn't work accurately however I don't want to have to pay a lot of money!

    I LOVE THIS APP!!! I have lost 25lbs in 4 months using this app and of course eating healthy. the sweat & shape kicks my butt still! LOL im thinking of trying a 45 min workout but have been very curious as to how many calories i burn or will burn with a longer workout...i know a heart rate monitor is the only real way to know for sure but an average is nice anyway...i highly reccommend this app to ANYONE! even if you cant do the whole workout from the start just keep doing as much as you can and you will b amazed at the results you see! and to everyone asking about the placement of your phone...i just sit mine on a table near me...u can glance at it if you need to at first but u will get used to workouts and the woman tells u exactly what to do how long to do it and how long you have left on each workout along with some "encouraging" words here and there...so JUST DO IT!!!!! ;)

    I love this app!! I'm always dripping in sweat afterwards. Bonus is its free and doesn't take long to do. I log it in as circuit training.

    I agree, this app is ridicilously fabulous. Every week I find I get get further into the workout without stopping and I can do more reps and am even faster. I LOVE IT!
    I'm with some of the previous posters thought, anyone have a recommendation on good watches (for HRM)?

    I have a New Balance N4 HRM - watch with a chest strap. They are around $70 at Target and most retailers, but you can find the online for less (think I saw one around $45 recently). I picked up a new on eBay a couple of years ago for $26 - works great. :)

    I'm a 52 year old female. I started NTC in July 2011 on my iPhone. My son's XC coach uses it for the kids twice a week during the summer and they work out for approx 30 min and do intermediate level workouts. i am quite over weight and couldn't do very much. that being said, I saw a difference after just 2 weeks. Since that summer, I have continued with a friend who is fit, trim, and a runner. We work out 3x week for 45 minutes, sometimes an hour. We are always doing intermediate, advanced, get focused, and bonus/reward workouts. We hit the 8000 minute mark in December 2012. There are now three of us (all moms, one in her 30's, one in her 40's, and me in my 50's) and cold or hot, rain or shine, we work out in an unheated garage. prior to the workout, we study up on what has been picked and when doing the workout, one of us places our iPhone on a stool hooked to speakers. the music we listen to is from the iPod feature of the iPhone and we each get a turn with our phone/music choice. If I miss the prompt for the exercise or want to know how much time is left, i just walk up and look at the phone while exercising. There are still exercises that Ihave a hard time with and can't do many reps, and then there are others that i couldn't do more than 1 or 2 reps in July 2011, that i can do now. I am still over weight, but have seen an incredible change in my body with NTC! I am using 10 pound dumbbells, 12 pound medicine ball, but started out with lower weights at the beginning. I have to use lower weight dumbells when doing the plank front raise to rotation. The three of us each use a dumbell instead of buying a kettleball. Some workouts that we think are challenging to the extreme: Toned intermediate Competitor, Strong adv Challenger and try these Combo workouts: 1. Get Focused Better Butt, Get focused Core Crunch, reward Laura Enever; 2. Get Focused Cardio Killer, Get Focused Better Butt, Get focused Shoulder Shaper, Reward Jeanette Jenkins Ab workout; 3. Get Focused sculpted arms, Get Focused Cardio Burst, Reward Jenette Jenkins ab workout......and i personally love the reward Joselyn Boschen Ab workout. Good Luck! Do the best you can do and keep trying to do these exercises with better form and additional reps as you progress forward. We really pay attention to our form and it makes a difference and sometimes increases the difficulty of the workout.

    I love this app! I have it on my iPad and it's perfect to sit on the floor nearby while working out. I don't know the calorie count ( I was looking for it and stumbled on this thread) so I really need to get a HRM. Good thing valentines day and my birthday are coming up!

    I put this app on my ipad a few weeks ago and used it for the first time today. I did some circuit training on my weight resistance machine first for about 15 -20 min. before starting the app but I did the "Get Strong-worth the weight" intermediate level for 30 minutes. All together I burnt 417 calories for roughly 50 min. or so of a workout, I have a hrm. So far it seems like a good workout and I'll definitely do it again. I'd love to see some result pics for this app.

    Is the Nike Training Club app better than the Nike+ Running app?

    Is the Nike Training Club app better than the Nike+ Running app?
    Totally different apps - I use both, but for different things. Nike Training Club is full of workouts, varying in length from 15-45 minutes, and everything from cardio, full body circuit type stuff, and focused on arms, legs, butt, etc.

    You can see some info on it at their website: http://www.nike.com/us/en_us/c/womens-training/apps/nike-training-club

    Is this a women's app then?
  • AmyRhubarb
    AmyRhubarb Posts: 6,890 Member
    Seems to focus on women - I have seen guys ask for a man's version on their website. :tongue: But other than the prompts being a woman's voice and all the demo vids in the app being done by women, no reason why a guy couldn't use it, just grab heavier dumbbells. :drinker:

    I think anyone can use it, men or women. At least that's what i've read when i searched for reviews on the app on the internet. I would guess that men just use a heavier weight.

    AmyRhubarb, do you use the "get strong" workouts? I'm wondering how good they will be for strength training to build muscle.
