Vitruvian 4+

Fantastic home workout for the Pro or Amateur!

As a former pro athlete and celebrity trainer, I can authoritatively tell you, the Vitruvian is an outstanding home workout device. It is safe, effective, versatile and easy to use. The training app is exceptional. You get multiple modalities and they all come with videos showing you how to execute the strength training moves! They also have excellent customer service! There is also an online community to compete with or just chart your progress if you wish. If you’re on the fence, just go for it. The Vitruvian is an investment that you make on yourself! Totally worth it and a bargain in reality!

In addition, as a pro trainer and researcher, I can definitively say squats are a pillar of long term health. With the Vitruvian, you can do squats with a waist belt, which removes strain on the spine which is often a deal breaker for many people for proper strength training. This simple fact is enough reason to invest in a Vitruvian.
I promise you won’t regret it.

It’s good but not great

App can be glitchy. I lost history data after the app asked me to sign in again (I had not signed out but sometimes, I think after updates , you are asked to sign in again). Support tried to blame me, saying I must have logged in a different way (using Google or FB, but I had not, if you log in that way it’s an extra step, brings up a different screen, so I would have noticed, and I consciously don’t ever use Google or FB to log into apps). Plus at the time, only part of my data was gone, not all of it. So it can be frustrating to lose all your data, kind of makes you lose your workout momentum ( I was on the 3rd week of a 4 week program when it disappeared). Other than that kind of thing, it’s good.

Extremely Disappointed

I’ve owned the machine for over a year. The hardware is great, no complaints there but it doesn’t work without the software. And saying the software needs improvement would be an overstatement. Updates to the software are infrequent sometimes many months apart. Even then, there are small changes. While overall, the UI has improved the experience, Laginess, and overall errors have increased. Once your subscription runs out even the most basic safety features are paywalled (such as sound to indicate your reps, end of range of motion, and beginning of set) you are limited to a just lift mode that is quite buggy and doesn’t even have any of the new modes that the machine is otherwise capable of handling. All this has led to me too contemplating selling this, going with another device or an old-school squat rack. I’ll probably stick it out for another few months, but I’m almost at my wits end.
