OMG this video is 30mins long... which is the longest YT video I've ever done I'm pretty sure hah! I just wanted to be as thorough as possible with this app review - hope you like this video <3

Hey gorgeous. Thanks so much for taking the time to film this. I know how much time and effort goes into youtube. You’re amazing! I wanted however to take some time, as it’s incredibly important to me, to respond. Most importantly I wanted to let you know that there was an error in your calorie calculation. For anyone who knows me, they will know that I am the biggest food fan on the planet and the LEAN brand messaging is all about the pure love and enjoyment of foods. A low calorie calculation (similar to yours) was reported to me from one of our users and I immediately looked into it! The tech team has informed me that there has been an error in the calorie calculator for a very small percentage of users on the app (under 1% of users) and I’m so sorry that you are one of them. However, if you look at the actual meals you’ve been allocated and add up the calories, you will see that you’ve in fact been given a higher calorie meal plan. It’s only the number written down on the plan that is incorrect, not the allocated meal plan and portions themselves. Please know that this low calorie diet is something I would never ever recommend, the familia’s health is everything to me, my highest priority. We have been working through the night to resolve this problem and it’s going to be resolved on Monday. In regards to the music… how did you do that!?!? Omgosh, there’s no way I could workout without music!!!! I’ve been doing all the app workouts vibing to BTS, Olivia Rodrigo, Beyoncé and all my favs . It’s literally just a few clicks of a button to play your own chart music and you can vibe out too! It feels like a workout class in your room!
I also just wanted to check that your content section is working? You mentioned that there’s not much content on the app? There’s actually over 100 videos on the app and nearly 200 recipes? These took me a year to film and make. So there’s absolutely loads of content that will continue you to increase every 2 weeks. So if you’re struggling to see all or amazing content please do let me know and I’ll get the LEAN team to check everything is working ok on your app?
Lastly, the recipes, I’m not sure if you saw but you can ‘swap’ your meals and search hundreds of meals to try. If there’s something you don’t fancy, that’s fine, you can swap it. My heritage is Cypriot and Irish, and Alex’s (my partner) is Malaysian, so you have recipes in there from all over the world packed full with different flavours and spices depending on your preferences. I’m incredible proud of the recipe section and the fact it offers something for everyone, regardless of your taste preferences, spice tolerances and favourite flavours.
We’re always listening to the familia feedback and making improvements and I’m quite literally working around the clock to make this everything the familia could wish for.
I hope that answers any questions you might have had lovely, and you’ll consider exploring the app a little more ♥️ A new shred challenge is also dropping on there very soon too. Sending you lots of love xx

Suggesting 1300 kcal for someone who put "pretty active" and "maintain weight" into the questionnaire is just ridiculous 😳

[mareike]

Some info about points you mentioned:
- The pricing/workout plans: The main difference between the pam app and the LEAN app is that Pamela has just/mainly the YouTube guides on there, while Lilly's app provides video content exclusively for the app, which is why the price is much higher here.
- The music: There are Spotify playlists by Lilly, but I agree that including a music-toggle would've been cool, although probably not easily done.

Overall, I agree with your opinion on the App. Maybe I'll subscribe for 2022, when the app offers more content and is fixed. :D

[OakieTea]

Your honesty and proof of information along with a kind bias is the perfect way to review things!!! This was a very informative video.

[sandrateresa]

I love Lilly but I don’t like how sometimes her “full body” workouts are just leg or butt workouts in disguise. And the titles of her videos kinda trigger me — they only focus on aesthetic aspects instead of health and fitness. I still think she’s an awesome person, though, and I appreciate this review!

[danassaaur]

i looove lilly and her workouts, but i still prefer her live videos here on YT, even though the workouts in the app are exclusive, as most of the exercises are usually still the same 🤷🏻‍♀️

[yatilajamir]

That's the same problem I have with her workouts. I Love her, but she says it's full body but in reality it's all a butt workout. I hope she can change it up next time :)

[anukrititrivedi]

I think this is one of the first reviews on YT! Also, something that I’ve appreciated in your videos is the sectional breakdown of it. Just knowing comprehensively when the intro switches into app overview and so on and so forth is really nice and thank you for spending a little extra time doing that! ♥️

[maebsss]

Based on your video, I can see that the exercises are the same as the free YT workouts. I have done her guides from Jan to March 2021 and after that I got bored from doing the same thing every guide. I love Sydney Cummings because she really mixes things up.

[evasamsonova]

I love Lilly’s bubbly and positive personality, she’s a hardworking, talented person who I respect a lot. The things is, I’ve done her workouts for a few months and started to lose interest in them due to the strong repetition both in moves and music as well as what most people mentioned in the comments talking about how the full body workouts are mostly targeted towards the legs/glutes. The shorter workouts are meant to be finishers but even then I still don’t find them challenging enough. There’s only so many moves one can come up with so I obviously am not judging anybody but I just got quite bored with the basic moves like squats, bicycle crunches, jumping jacks, etc in general. I’ve mostly stuck to Caroline, Growingannanas and Pamela because they never disappoint with their creativity. The music choice and all the variety is chefs kiss. You can legit find any workout imaginable on their channels combined and I’m being 100% honest, I never dread doing a workout from them because they are so exciting and fun. Anyways, this is just what I’ve noticed from the YouTube videos and I haven’t downloaded the app itself so I can’t say much otherwise :)

Also aside from this million word analysis from me, your review was so helpful and honest like always!! 😌

[juilie]

I liked the review, you were so honest with what you like and what you didn't like. You are amazing 😘

[Helen]

I used to love Lilly, but the lack of upper body workouts and so much booty made me switch to other trainers. I thought I would try the app, but the no music thing really threw me off. I'm like you with that: too lazy to put on my own Playlist and I don't have Spotify. I agree that the app is definitely overpriced.. Loved the review (and your channel ♥️♥️♥️)

[cjcjc]

Thanks for this honest review. I started with Lilly's workouts a year ago during the first lockdown but as she grew in subscribers it become more about monetising the situation (nothing wrong with that as it's a business). There is lots of free content out there from other fitness influencers like Caroline Girvan. I think Lilly's workouts are repetitive too with very little upper body. This is just my opinion about her style of training and some will love it. I was curious to get your feedback on this app and to see if it's worth all the hype. Apps are a good option instead of costly gyms and to give structure. From comments made by a few of her subscribers, some cannot afford to pay for this expensive app.

[asmakhedher]

I love lilly but I think that her past free guides on yt (2020) until march 2021 were more effective and higher in terms of intesity

[Leucci]

first of all, great review as usual, i love how you just don-t show us the app superficially but actually try it out for a whole week! happy to be a loyal subscriber :) secondly, i think the least appealing part for me of this app is forcing you to get "personalized" nutrition - there's no way 4-5 questions can generate an appropriate customized meal plan! there's plenty of factors to be considered that an app cannot figure out. Not to mention the fact that most recipes are the usual north american fitness influencer style if you know what i mean aha not so easy to replicate

[cetriyasArtnComicsChannel]

ok, this app looks and sounds a bit unfinish and unbalanced. I'm trying to lose weight and 1300 cal is way too low for me and I usually eat under 2k (I seem to feel full at 18 to 1900 so losing weight is 15 to 1600). The design/menu seems too empty too.

[janet.ndomahina]

I’ve probably watched this video 2000 times! 😂❤️Thank you so much for working with us Jaime! You’re such a genuine soul & we really appreciate you and hope to work with you 3000 more times 💕💕

[namjuice]

a 30 min video from jaime YESS 🗣 her recipies look so good like i always get hungry looking at the photos

[alisats]

great review, Jaime!
and please do not worry about your videos being too long - i can't speak for everybody, but personally for me the longer they get, the better😃😊

it means that we get to enjoy more of your content in one go, and how cool is that?!
