I trained with the Papayya team and it was excellent!
I trained with the Papayya team: Rute, Luís, and Joana. And they were excellent and very professional. Ask all the questions you need, they’re always happy to help. It really feels like a collaborative effort between you and them, working together to better understand your body and your goals. They guide you, but they also make sure you’re learning along the way.Since starting with Papayya, I’ve felt a major improvement in my physical ability across all the sports I do. It was a real benefit for me and, of course, for my body (my first home). I truly believe a healthy body is the most important thing you can have. When you’re young, you focus on money, when you’re older and can’t move well, you’d pay anything to get your body back. So you might as well start now and build your body as well as you can.You don’t need to train a lot, consistency and intention are key. I trained 1 hour a week, didn’t miss a single week, and saw real improvements. It’s also very maintainable long-term. Of course, what you eat matters too.Overall, I found Papayya to be a really efficient way to work out. You don’t need a gym, just a mat, maybe some bands, and you can train from anywhere, comfortably from your own home. Simple, effective, and it works if you commit to it.

100% recommend!!
The sessions are great! The trainers know their stuff and every session is planned out, I just need to click a link to join it. The fact that it's 100% online makes it so much easier to fit the sessions in my schedule, I don't need to drive to a gym, find parking... I would def recommend!!

A program that evolves with you!
I’ve tried two other online coach programs with Papayya being my third. While the others were okay, Papayya by far is the best! Susie is my coach and sooo kind and Knowledgeable! She takes a holistic approach to health including fitness, nutrition, sleep, and emotional wellness. While weight loss is a focus (and outcome!), I appreciate the whole person approach. She factors in exercises I like and don’t like, body areas of focus I have, equipment I have, and current fitness level when making my program. I am challenged Yet capable so am making progress without feeling overwhelmed (a delicate balance I have had difficulty with using other coach programs). I enjoy the circuit training style to balance strength, cardio, and flexibility. Tips on integrating day-to-day activity are also provided. Even better, weekly check-ins allow for modifications as needed. Any exercise I need assistance with, Susie is able to offer 1-2 alternative approaches or a replacement exercise. The program evolves with you, and you in turn evolve with the program! I love the video demos of the exercises which really guide how to keep proper form. The videos also say where you should be feeling the exercises in your body. I like this from an info perspective and to know I’m doing the exercises correctly. I am invited to send a video of my form or review form at online visits. I am also welcomed to email or text any questions at any time. It feels like 24/7 support and encouragement. While the focus is of course on my health journey, Susie also takes the time to get to know me in terms of work, family, and hobbies. I feel like she genuinely cares. While I do have a private dietician, Susie provides some nutritional guidance too. She is able to compute my body’s needs for example for protein. I indicated a lesser need for nutrition info but I’m confident the coaches would provide thorough info there as well. Results-wise, I lost about 10 lb the first month and am continuing on. I feel stronger and empowered too! The one-on-one approach helps with motivation and accountability- two elements of a weight loss journey which can be tricky on one’s own. The cost is very reasonable for how much you get. I like the option of working from videos to working at live video sessions, guided in real time! This has not been a feature of other programs I’ve tried. Moreover, there is sooo much flexibility in program packages for varying needs and Budgeting! Overall, I love Papayya and of the three coaching programs I’ve tried, enjoy it the most. I will use Papayya as part of my journey until at goal weight and I can see staying with it during maintenance phase afterward. While I’m sure all of their coaches are great, I would also highly recommend Susie as a coach!

Amazing session with Papayya Trainer!
I had a one to one session with a personal trainer online from Papayya and I am very pleased with my experience. The trainer was quite experienced and professional. They identified problem areas in my posture that would help alleviate pain in my lower back that I was not aware of. The trainer also identified exercises to help build my muscles in other problem areas to help alleviate discomfort and prevent future pain. I highly recommend them!!

Great Instructor!
The session was tailored just for me and I felt more from this one session than my last several months of trying to exercise on my own.

A workout that is worth it!
My trainer Joanna is really great and gos at your pace. Very laid back and comfortable to start then adds a little on and kicks it up a notch when you're ready. Really cool to see how she could tell certain things I had going on with my body and posture through my muscles and alignment, just from looking at me through the computer screen. Then she took that and focused on things that would be the most effective for me. She talked me through the stuff that i thought was tough. I think it gives you great personalization and quality, just like in person would do, but you are in the comfort of your own home and don't have to bother with getting yourself out to the gym!

I have attended their complimentary…
I have attended their complimentary training service and it was excellent. It was as effective as an in-person training. Excellent coach and she keeps motivating me to the next level. For beginners like me i felt it was hard and thats why I gave the rating as 4. They need to understand the clients need and design the course accordingly. I would definitely recommend it to my friends.If you were the person who loves workout you will definitely enjoy and give a 5 star rating.

Designed for Real Life, Delivered with Real Presence
There’s something to be said for a platform that’s built around your schedule instead of asking you to fit into someone else’s. That’s what stood out to me most about Papayya. I took part in one trial session with Louis, and while I intended to complete the follow-ups, a personal emergency pulled me away. Still, that one session was enough to leave a strong impression.The platform is thoughtful—designed around comfort and convenience without losing quality. Louis didn’t just lead a workout. He paid attention. He made adjustments in real time. He created space for accountability without adding pressure. I felt seen and supported, even in a virtual setting.I gave my feedback privately at first, rating it a 9/10. I noted how the trainer picked a time that worked for me, how the session exceeded expectations, and how—even online—Louis was able to watch form and offer guidance that felt just as effective as being in the room with someone. That holds true today.Even though I wasn’t able to continue, I’d still recommend Papayya to anyone looking for a trainer who shows up fully and a system that actually fits your life. —DW

Level of detail blew me away.
I was very pleasantly surprised when I tried papayya virtual training. The amount of attention I got and how detailed the trained was honestly blew me away. They pointed out several different issues I had with my posture and came up with a regiment to focus on the muscles I was missing. For being virtual, I did not expect the level of detail that they were able to get into.

Its for everyone
I tried these guys out earlier this year, and it was a fantstic experience. Let me start by saying it's for everyone. I feel like I have excellent fitness, but since the covid years have found myself doing just a little less. My coach was able to tell immedietly that I was weaker on one side than another and offered tips and exercises that target that muscle group. It was a really good experience.

A great work out session that goes at your pace. You don't have to leave your home for a knowledgeable personal trainer. You get to chose the length of your sessions and the trainer was very nice and knowledgeable.

Prime PT service and very convenient
Prime PT service and very convenient. I absolutely love Papayya. The scheduling system is very easy to use and flexible, and the interaction with my PT is smooth and very effective. I love it, and I am in much better shape since I started! It saves me lots of time driving to and back from a gym, I do it all effectively from the comfort of my home. Highly recommended.

Papayya exceeded my expectation
I tried Papayya as part of a promotion. I figured it would be a weak workout, but I'd give it a shot. Boy, was I wrong!The trainer asked about my overall fitness and assessed my capabilities visually. Papayya is essentially tele-training. You interact with a live personal trainer through a video call. The trainer can show diagrams of exercises and walk you through them, assessing your form as you go.The workout was a little under an hour, but it really pushed me to the limits. More importantly, I learned that my form was incorrect for some of the exercises I do every day! I was doing pushups wrong for years! My arms were too far in front. The trainer told me to keep them level with my chest. Now I can only do 33-35 pushups instead of 40-50, but they're far more effective. I notice my chest is already bigger after a month.Even if you plan on working out on your own, you should give Papayya a try. It's an inexpensive way to get feedback on your form and learn new exercises. Even one session is a game changer if you work out on your own. You don't need any weights or equipment.I'm still doing many of the exercises I learned on Papayya. Most of them are very unique, and not something that I could find online. They're highly effective.I learned a bunch of new exercises to improve my core strength.The other great thing about Papayya is that, for a new product, it is remarkably stable. That's rare in this age of software and QAT engineers who seem to lack focus and can't concentrate. I notice that even simple apps are often buggy these days. Not Papayya. It's remarkably stable. The seem to have invested in quality engineering talent.Also, my trainer showed up for the virtual appointment on time. I wasn't left waiting for my appointment. I had many other things to do that day, so I appreciated my trainer's punctuality.I think Papayya is an excellent idea executed with high quality.

Been wanting to get beyond my Peloton…
Been wanting to get beyond my Peloton and ramp up my exercise program but as someone self employed in an international company that works round the clock it's just not possible to keep a stabile work out routine. Papayya's flexibility in scheduling and a vast selection of trainers ensured there's always availability so I decided to give it a shot. My instructor Joana was very attentive and communicated extremely well! Professional demeaner with approachable personality perfect for people that find discussing weight loss and exercise a sensitive topic. Joana knew just how far to push me to make it effective while still letting me remain in the drivers seat. Exceeded every expectation and confident I made the right choice.

I really enjoyed using the Papayya app
I really enjoyed using the Papayya app. I would definitely recommend to family and friends. The sessions were personalized to meet my needs. The trainer was very friendly and helpful. She gave me feedback on how to make improvements. Although I was not sure if I would be able to complete the exercises, my trainer let me workout at my own pace.

An excellent choice if you're looking for a great online workout experience!
Papayya is an excellent choice if you're looking for a way to achieve your fitness goals. My trainer, Louis, was very engaging and showed expertise of the program. He showed me clear instructions to ensure I was exercising effectively and safely. Also, because of our busy schedules, Papayya would be perfect because you can work out anytime and anywhere, and sticking to your workout routine would be a lot easier.

Papayya online training exceeded my expectations!
I highly recommend Papayya online personal training for its convenience and excellent service. I found my trainer Louis to be very professional, qualified, and knowledgeable. The initial free session starts with an assessment of fitness and physical imbalances. I have been a member of several physicals gyms and had sessions with in person trainers in the past, but Louis was the first one to immediately identify imbalances that I’ve been having due to my desk job and that have been causing me pain and discomfort for years. I was very impressed that an online trainer can do so much, this truly exceeded my expectations. It was also super easy to get started and schedule a free, no strings attached trial session.

Papayya was a big surprise for me
Papayya was a big surprise for me. I am postpartum, have 3 daughters, lack Of time and a lot Of need. I confess I was skeptical but I'm surrendered. And I owe it to the great talent of my coach Rute!
