The Epic Programmes from Caroline Girvan https://www.carolinegirvan.com/ are all free and have some good variety.On the topic of fitness apps can anyone recommend any decent guides? Need some new focus and don’t want to sign up to an app, just a one off payment
I use the current app and I used the old Aflete guide as well. The app is good, I have had issues barely ever (and I use a 5 year old iPhone 8As anyone actually used her app? There's zero way to see what you're getting up front. She keeps talking about how it's different, but never goes into the details of how exactly.
Also what is the current app I literally could not find it in the App StoreI use the current app and I used the old Aflete guide as well. The app is good, I have had issues barely ever (and I use a 5 year old iPhone 8). I’ve recommended it to a friend and she really likes it too. There’s no weird exercises that make you feel like a head and if you’re consistent you do get actual strength gains, I actually look forward to upper body now and I can do proper bench presses now.
Recipes are good and easy too. I know this is a gossip site but people who don’t like it must be either the wrong target (ie prefer hiit or glute exercises or not exercising) or are literally just being mad for the sake of being mad.
I’ve been a gym goer for years and it’s just a good, solid strength plan that works for most people.
Nah I was actually obsessed with Lucy when I had the app subscription and even then I thought it was awful. I guess it depends on the device, your karma or just good luck how the app works. I remember in the nobs group there’d be people who’d say the app isn’t very good but since we were all Lucy’s fans it was more of a “Hey girlI know this is a gossip site but people who don’t like it must be either the wrong target (ie prefer hiit or glute exercises or not exercising) or are literally just being mad for the sake of being mad.
It’s nobs guide.Thanks both for the recommendations! I did have Lucy’s first and second plan on AFLETE, loved the first but the second felt like it had weird exercises in it just for the sake of it, really didn’t get on with it and want something a bit more advanced rather than repeating her first guide

Same here. Can't speak for the Gym Guide on the app as I only used this for Home Workouts, but I'm not 'mad for the sake of being mad' expecting an app I pay for not to glitch out every other exercise; in addition to expecting a lower/upper split on an 'advanced' guide I'm doing four days a week produced by a qualified PT.Nah I was actually obsessed with Lucy when I had the app subscription and even then I thought it was awful.

I remember in the nobs group there’d be people who’d say the app isn’t very good but since we were all Lucy’s fans it was more of a “Hey girlumm… your app is broken… it’s probably just me though”. I did like the exercises and they did make me enjoy working out but I can’t use the exercises if the app crashes twelve times mid workout.
My dumb ass thought you meant there was a fitness app called current lolIt’s nobs guide.
I’m not here to defend Lucy, I understand the point of this website but I’m just confused. You don’t have an upper/lower split? I do and I’ve only set it to 3 days a week. What does yours give you?Same here.

It looks like it’s just the not having ‘nobs’ rule which looks as if it’s so she can’t be officially associated with any sub groups? Sounds like it’s a cop out so she doesn’t need to deal with anything that gets reported to her from those.I wonder what Lucy's approach is to avoid what happened with the last group. Is it just the rule about not having "nobs" in whatsapp groups? How is that going to help? (Just a petty observation but what's with the typos in the rules lol thought she was a serious woman in business?? "you unable" "this spaces") Surely now that we all know there's anti-nobs people around they'll just find ways to infiltrate again lol? Is this a vicious cycle Lucy's now on
It’s literally just called “nobs” on Facebook as far as I can see, it has the collegiate style logo similar to the app as the main picture.Is the new group real? Anyone know the name? I can't find it anywhere and I'm blocked on insta hahaha
