An eight-minute Core Coordination session (categorized as advanced, in fairness) had me virtually wiped out. The best bit? They’re super short, but definitely not easy. Within each section, they’ll be further broken down into options like Chest Toner, Sun’s Out/Guns Out, and so on.

Therefore it’s no surprise that there’s a series of real time challenges incorporated into the mix of workouts offered. One thing that seems pretty integral to the ethos of this app is keeping people accountable, no matter if they’re a fitness rookie or a bona fide pro. In all honesty, I was a little embarrassed when the trainer’s voice acknowledged that I was taking a breather before finishing my last pushup rep at one stage. And honestly, can’t we all tend to slack a little bit when no one is in the room to bark at us? Another major draw of Onyx is that the app will only count down your reps when it sees you performing them. I’ve used my fair share of workout streaming platforms and after a while they can feel pretty unappealing and the workouts quickly feel repetitive and uninspiring. Nonetheless, a bit of a furniture rejig happened and we quickly made up. I guess no one told the trainer how spatially limited New York City apartment bedrooms are. The only thing I found slightly irritating was the amount of times the voice kept telling me to move further away from the camera so she could see me better. Take, for example, when I was panting my way through commandos and shoulder taps - something that always manages to challenge my upper body strength - the instructor gave me helpful pointers such as lowering my hips more to protect my back.
