Does anyone use either of these apps or even better might have tried both?

I'm looking for an app and I know both these guys workouts/styles work for me as I've done both their workouts in the past, but I don't know which app to sign up too. I suppose I can always switch between the two it's a mth by mth and I'm not tied in for like a year?

I use the Kayla Itsines one and really like it. It’s a very user-friendly app and you can add your own extra workouts (like swimming). I think there is a referral deal so you can get three months cheaper. I haven’t tried (or heard of) the other one so not very helpful- sorry!

I prefer kayla over jillian
But my favourite is caroline girvan
I also switched it up and did jillian for a few months then kayla and then a mix of both and then went to caroline when she got big during covid and have stuck with her since.

Thanks guys. I have looked at Caroline but most her workouts seem quite long? whereas I love that lots of Jillian's are only 20/25 mins. I need short and sweet otherwise I'll end up not doing anything.

@FloofyBird Caroline has lots of free content on YouTube - I've just counted 15 10min workouts and gave up counting 20 minute workouts when I got to 20 Grin and that was just a quick look. Might be worth having a try of some of those before deciding which app to sign up to.

Thanks! I'll take another look. I saw a breakdown of all her workout programmes somewhere with the workout times but maybe they're different to her freebies on YouTube?

She has a handful of programmes on yt that are 50mins (mostly epic 1 2 and 3)
But there is literally nothing stopping you from pausing and splitting one day's into multiple
But a lot that are 30 or less also (epic heat, iron I think is also? )
