Performance Stretching - Foam Roller, Static, and Dynamic Stretches App Reviews

For someone trying to get back into shape and trying to do it the right way this app fits the bill. It stretches me out good before and after and keeps treacly of my workouts.

I use a lot of Lolo apps, and theyre all great! I recently started running, and didnt think stretching was really necessary, until I injured my ankle. Lolo to the rescue! This app have before and after stretches for running, as well as a separate leg stretching routine. What I love about Lolo apps is that theyre completely customizable. You pick your fitness level, tell the app what equipment you have on hand. And, in this app, pick which routine you want to do. The stretches change with each workout, so you (and your muscles) dont get bored.

Great app, does exactly what I want it to. Seeing results in the first week. Must have for any active person.

Great for mind, body, and spirit! 3 stages (Beginner-Expert) try it out, its fun!

Good stretching workouts but I find most are for beginners to intermediate. This app and its buyers could benefit from a more advanced stretching. Please add.

Great app to force/ motivate me to stretch. Routines made to accompany different activities (ie pre and post run)

I wish there was a preview before each exercise so you dont have to keep going back to see how the exercise is done. Also, I wish the videos that demonstrate the moves were more detailed on how to do each exercise. I feel its rushed through which makes some of them highly confusing to follow. If there was a text step by step that would also be helpful along with tips on correcting form and what not to do. Add those changes and it would definitely be a 5 star app (:

This app is better than expected. I love the instructions,demonstrations and voice tone. I was worth the small fee.

It would help if the tutorial videos played at the beginning of the stretch so that you could see how to properly do it.

I use this app at the end of every workout. I like the variety of stretches which can be done in almost ant setting. However, a stretch or two has the exact same animation but its called something else. And also some stretches are kind if hard to figure out, I had to look them up online. Other than those things it works solidly and feels good.

When will you have updates? After the last iTunes update, none of my Lolo apps save my last setting anymore. There are also some other kind of buggy things about the apps that werent there prior to the update. Patiently waiting...

I love the app, but this and all my other Lolo apps fail to remember what day I last did. They keep resetting to the same day, despite the workouts being logged under History. So every day I have to scroll forward to the right workout. Fix that and its a pretty darn fine app.

Must get this! It goes well with my class I take at the YMCA! Its nice for morning wake up really gets your blood flowing!

Nice collection of stretches. I like that its not the same old thing every time. Nice way to relax after a run. ☺️

Love the stretching routines. Very manageable. Love doing 2 a day, sometimes 3. Now three fixes: One, after I finish one routine and go to the next I am previewed with a particular routine...looks good, but when I shut the app down and open it the next day, the routine I previewed the previous day has changed. I wish it would be consistent. Two, make it so we can entire more than one playlist. Right now I cant seem to make separate playlists. Not a deal breaker, but would love the added convenience. Oh, and make the BPMs function optional. When I do a workout it limits what songs I can load so I never load a playlist. Can I make customized routines using the database of stretches? If not, that would be great. All that said, again love the routines. Great for that quickie to squeeze into tight timelines. Peace

Im looking for a stretching program that lets me build a stretch routine based on my personal needs. I tried these four apps below, that receive high marks on the App Store, but each limitations. Maybe the 4 can work together to create a killer app. 1. Virtual Trainer Stretch: Best of the four because it allows you to select any stretch from a home screen and they use a real person in the images. There are 60 stretches, which may meet your needs but most of the stretches recommended by my physical therapist arent in their library. 2. Performance Stretching: Great images and appears to have a large library but the only way to access the stretches is to use their pre-canned routines, which dont suit me (never understood why exercise apps feel they need to build routines for us). Theres no way to build your own stretch routine. 3. Select Stretch Trainer: Allows you to build a stretch routine, but they use poorly animated characters. Also, no way to know how large their libraray is because you can only access by selecting a muscle group first. 4. Start Stretching: Incredibly basic...only 9 stretches and they use animated characters

As a marathoner, I find the post-run stretch routine perfect. I would give this 5 stars except for a couple of issues: once I got past day 70, the app refused to automatically progress to the next days workout. I have to tap A LOT to get to the correct workout day now. Second, the foam roller workout is way too long and way too painful. They need a shorter foam roller session thats only 10 minutes, such as a runners leg roller session. I cant afford 30 minutes just rolling. Third, and issue #2 would go away--need a way to pick and choose stretches for a custom program!! Fourth: I really wish the screen had a countdown timer thought and not just counting down at the start.

Great stretching app. Its really nice using this instead of doing my same stretching routine over and over. I do wish that in the stretches that involve movement, the animation would continue throughout the stretch instead of stopping after showing you once or twice, but thats a minor complaint. EDIT 02/05/2015: This app has gotten worse over time. Profile settings dont save. Animations dont play at all. Supposedly theres a large library of exercises, but I keep getting about a dozen or so over and over again. Workout never goes past "Day 1." I wont be buying from this company again.

Its pretty annoying whenever I try to use this stretching APP, it goes to log in page, then Facebook log in... Or you need to enter your birthday, weight, height etc... Is that necessary?! Can I just start the APP, and do some quick 5-minute stretch, please?

Hello!!! Are you going to support your app. For two years no updates? The app doesnt hold settings. Stuck on second day of routine.
