Bad experience

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Trial: 1 month for 12.09 USD via PayPal.
  • - After 30 days, 48.39 USD was charged via PayPal; refunds delayed; a form to bypass PayPal was sent.

I came across an offer from Mad Muscles for personal training plans on the Internet and concluded an agreement to receive a trial training plan for 1 month for the agreed amount of 12.09 USD. The payment was made via PayPal.

After 30 days, my bank informed me that MadMuscles had charged my card an additional 48.39 USD via PayPal!

Following the instructions on the PayPal website, I contacted MadMuscles, stating that I did not agree with this procedure, that I considered it not legal, and that I wanted my money back. I received a response that they were sorry for the situation and that the money would be refunded as soon as they resolved the "technical problem" with the refund via PayPal. Still nothing happened for weeks and I received several emails with similar content. When I was already very angry and I considered their emails to be a mockery, I received a form to send money outside of PayPal directly to my bank account.

According to the message, I was assured to receive the money within 14 days, so I filled out the form and sent it. Another 3 weeks passed and nothing happened, again. "The game of delay" has been going on for a month and a half now.

From the above, it seems that the company is more not about providing functional personalized exercise plans at all, but about a targeted, sophisticated and marketing-developed plan to deceive customers.

Unfortunately, these activities would not have been successful for MudMuscles without the help of PayPal (whether active or passive). Decent banking companies take care that customers' money is safe, I don't know why PayPal knowingly chose the other path.

While, PayPal is repeatedly informed about the unfair activities of MadMuscles via its dissatisfied clients.

I immediately canceled my PayPal account. There are many other decent companies.

Be careful and don't get mad at these companies like I did, and many clients before me...

Loss:
$50

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Hands off this app!

Disappointed in the continued deducting from my account

AI Highlights
  • - I unsubscribed but still charged $39.99 monthly.
  • - Deductions continue after cancelation and card changes.
  • - No response after contacting support.

When I registered for the exercise, I unsubscribed immediately on realizing that my time and resources will not allow me to do the exercises under coaching. I never got to start the exercise even once due to that.

Unfortunately the mad muscles continue to deduct $39.99 from my account every month, I stopped a couple of times from my bank and changed my credit cards as advised by the bank agent. This did not help, they continue to deduct from my hard earned money. I have 4 kids and am a single mom, why are you stealing from me?

I would like them to stop . I've contacted them via 'contact us' but no response yet.

Is there someone who knows how to handle this?

User's recommendation: Please do not agree to be fooled, this people are after your money. They don't care about customers because if they did, a telephone number would be provided and they would be reachable in an easy way.

Strong Marketing, Weak Value, No Refund Flexibility

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Marketing is polished and professional.
  • - The product does not meet that standard.
  • - 83.99 EUR for 90 days isn't justified; refunds have no flexibility.
MadMuscles - Strong Marketing, Weak Value, No Refund Flexibility

I signed up for MadMuscles after seeing their social media advertising. The marketing is polished, persuasive and professional.

Unfortunately, the actual product does not live up to that standard.

The trial period is reasonably priced and gives you a chance to explore the app. That is what I did. However, the full renewal price of 83.99 EUR for a 90-day plan is, in my opinion, far beyond what the service is worth. The content and functionality simply do not justify that price.

Good marketing does not equal good value.

The bigger issue however, is how renewal and refunds are handled.

If you forget to cancel before the renewal date, there is no flexibility, no understanding, and no customer-oriented resolution. You immediately receive legalistic responses referring to Terms of Service and automatic billing policies. Even if you cancel immediately after the charge and do not use the service further, a refund is not offered. Instead, you are redirected to procedural explanations and formal dispute processes.

Technically, everything may be structured within their terms.

But from a customer perspective, this approach does not reflect a service provider that values fairness or long-term trust. A company that stands behind its product should be confident enough to handle immediate cancellations with discretion, especially when no further use has occurred.

So while this may not qualify as a scam in the strict legal sense, it also does not reflect the standards of a company that prioritizes customer goodwill.

In summary:

Strong advertising.

Average product.

No meaningful refund flexibility.

That combination speaks for itself.

Loss:
$83

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Think twice before subscribing. The renewal price is significantly higher than the trial, and refund flexibility appears to be very limited.

Nutrition and workouts work perfectly together in mad muscles

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

The nutrition plan in Mad Muscles works really well together with the workouts. It adjusts calories depending on my activity.

Most recipes are quick to make, which is perfect for my schedule. Sometimes the same dishes repeat, but overall the quality is high and I feel much better following it.

User's recommendation: Mad Muscles is a convenient choice if you want both workouts and nutrition guidance in one app

From beginner to visible results

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I started almost from zero. After subscribing to Mad Muscles, the app created a simple and clear plan based on my fitness level.

The exercise technique is well demonstrated and the load feels comfortable. Now my body looks much better, with visible definition and significantly improved endurance.

User's recommendation: Start where you are, not where you think you should be. Follow the plan consistently and focus on technique — the results will come

Misleading practices, deceptive design and dark patterns

AI Highlights
  • - The checkout flow misleads and hides recurring PayPal charges.
  • - Unclear steps may trigger extra payments; cancellation and refunds are difficult.

MadMuscles.com shows a highly misleading checkout and subscription flow. Users are not clearly informed that they are agreeing to recurring charges via PayPal pre-approved payments.

In multiple steps of the checkout, additional payments can be triggered through unclear interface design (e.g.

Next buttons), without explicit confirmation of subscription terms or ongoing billing.

The result is that users may unknowingly end up with recurring charges and additional services they did not clearly intend to purchase. Cancellation and refund processes are reported as difficult, and refund commitments are often not fulfilled.

Overall, the platform relies on confusing and non-transparent payment flows that make it easy to unintentionally enter ongoing financial commitments.

Loss:
$47
Cons:
  • Abuse of paypal
  • Deceptive design dark patterns
  • Misleading

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Do not order anything from this company, do not click any buttons. You will be presented with pre-authorised billing and hidden subscriptions and recurring payments

Easy healthy eating

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

mad muscles made healthy eating stupidly easy. No more overthinking.

Just follow the plan and enjoy decent food.

My favorite part? The 15-minute dinners after late workouts.

User's recommendation: If you want a fitness app that removes the guesswork from both training and nutrition, Mad Muscles is worth trying.

No more excuses

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

The biggest advantage over the gym is that there are almost no excuses left. No its raining, traffic jams, or the gym is too far.

I open the app and start training in 5 minutes. Because of this convenience I train 45 times a week instead of 2 times like before with the gym membership.

User's recommendation: If you struggle to stay consistent with gym workouts because of time, travel, or motivation, MadMuscles is worth trying.

AI Highlights
  • - Cancellation not honored; billed April and May after cancellation.
  • - Request refunds for April and May and confirm cancellation.
  • - Will report to BBB.

I cancelled my subscription to Mad muscles 2 months ago and yet you continue to bill me in April and May for $49.99! This is totally unacceptable! I expect to be refunded for April and May since you did not follow through with the requested cancellation.

Please contact me ASAP to ensure that my cancellation and refund is processed.

I will be contacting the Better Business Bureau to lodge a complaint and will be posting on Facebook and Tik Tok to warn consumers of your unethical and fraudulent practices.

Travel-friendly workouts that actually stic

AI Highlights
  • - Bodyweight workouts with no equipment let me stay consistent anywhere.
  • - No gym or gear needed, no excuses.
  • - Sleep quality improved since starting.

My work has me moving between cities every few days, and hotel rooms are never the same. Keeping a workout routine used to feel impossible.

The bodyweight programs changed that completely no equipment, no gym, no excuses.

For the first time in years, I've been able to stay consistent with training no matter where I am. As a bonus, my sleep quality has noticeably improved since I started

Good programming, weak analytics

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

The strength plan is well structured and I've made solid gains But for someone who wants to analyse their training in depth the data tools are limited. I'd like to see force output over time, volume per muscle group by week, and more detailed progression graphs. The training is there; the data layer needs work.

User's recommendation: I’ve been training for decades, so I don’t get impressed easily. The strength plan here is genuinely well designed — structured progression, smart deloads, and enough exercise variety to keep training effective without feeling random. I’ve made solid gains and even hit numbers I hadn’t seen in years.

Updated by user Apr 20, 2026

They wanted to give me a big discount and refund my money after I said no. I pointed out that there was no where that said I would have a revolving payment of some $80 every three months.

No comment.

They immediately refunded my money and cancelled my program. Did not like my review I put on pissed customer.

Original review Apr 17, 2026
Hello,
I want my program cancelled. I just now signed up and can even use the contact because of the AI verification under cloud flare or what ever its called.

Also there was no mention of having to pay another $50 for a coach I do not want or need. And the program will not let me move forward without choosing one. I dont need a meal plan or coach I am a big boy at 73.
So rather be aggravated cancel my program and give me my money back immediately.
Thank you if you return my fee. If you dont then I know you are a scam and will act accordingly.

I will place applicable review on whatever site I can to inform others of your operation.

User's recommendation: Be careful because if it wasn’t Pissed Customer there is no contact. I tried for several hours to contact them and never got passed their. Security program. Then when I tried to use the email address on line it was invalid. When I signed up and I paid all of a sudden I got a choose your coach for another $50 and would not let me opt out of it. Then when they relied after Pissed customer I find out they are from Cyphrus not in the US. Then they tell me in their response to go to the help which also can not be accessed. This company in my book is a SCAM. I asked for my money back and I got it will take us a while to review your request. I figure I will have to report them to my bank and close my card. I don’t trust them, neither should you.

Yoga sessions that actually complement serious training

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Skeptical about yoga in a men-focused app, but 8 weeks brought movement improvement.
  • - It focuses on recovery: hip flexors, thoracic mobility.

I was skeptical about yoga in a fitness app aimed at men. Mad Muscles proved me wrong.

The yoga programming is structured around athletic recovery hip flexors, thoracic mobility, posterior chain not just generic stretching. After 8 weeks my movement quality in the gym improved significantly and the lower back tightness I'd had for years is mostly resolved.

User's recommendation: If you’re overlooking the yoga side of Mad Muscles because you think it’s just basic stretching, don’t.
