What Users Are Saying

Feedback from hard trainers, martial artists, fitness enthusiasts, and Core JKD students using the app daily.

"I'm juggling striking, weapons, and strength cycles weekly. The body map makes it obvious when my forearms need another rest day. Haven't seen something this precise in other trackers."

— Marco H., Core JKD Germany

"Perfect for when I can't make it to training with the group. I used to worry about falling behind in fitness when I couldn't make it to class. Now I have Ming in my pocket! I actually had no idea we use this many exercises. It's incredible to see them all in one place. I love being able to review the little videos of each exercise to make sure I'm doing them correctly at home. Well done!"

— Anna, Core JKD Student and Instructor

"I recently started working on a healthier lifestyle. I admit I was a bit lost, and was having a hard time tracking my workouts and the muscle groups I was using. This app was exactly what I was looking for and so much more. It keeps all the data related to my workouts, including where I feel sore, how long I am sore/recovery time, and it also has a TON of exercises built into it. It gives me recommendations on if I should train a little harder, I can randomly generate a workout with the videos, and gives me insights on trends associated with my workouts. All of which I can print out on a pdf. All in all, an excellent app! Would recommend to all of my friends and to anyone looking to track progress."

— Amy

"The app is listed as a soreness tracker, but is so much more! It has over 100 exercises that can be made into workouts randomly, by targeted body parts, or by favorites. The metrics are not just how sore you are and the time to recover, but with health data integration, it's how effective your workouts are. The videos are easy step by step for the exercises and break down which body parts are targeted. There is so much to this app and I've only scratched the surface. Two huge bonuses, no data being shared and NO SUBSCRIPTION! Highly recommended."

— Chad

"This App (CoreLab) has been a big part of my daily training regimen and rehab (from ankle injury). I was familiar with many of these Core JKD exercises but thought it was great to have video demonstration of each exercise! These exercises are finely curated to help produce an explosive, power and flexible individual. Daily reminders to track your progress is a great feature and the ability to track your soreness location and level is one I didn't realize how much I needed until I used it😆. Overall I highly recommend the CoreLab application!"

— Brian

"I've used Core fitness app. It's been very helpful in so many ways. The app helps me track my workouts, motivates me to train and helps me control how I recover and how long to recover. I would highly recommend the app to anyone regardless of fitness level or age. The team at Ming's CoreLab are helpful, friendly and always have the answers to the questions I have. If you're thinking about it, get the app!"

— Terry

"Ming's CoreLab app is by far a great app to have when it comes to training and improving the body physically. Created by one of the top martial arts instructors who's very knowledgeable in many styles and proper body mechanics to improve functionality, the workouts correlate with all techniques. You're able to record progress in each session from the time duration, heart rate, type of workout you did that day and which muscle groups were isolated. I give it a 5 ⭐ star rating."

— Dave

"Ming's CoreLab is a functional training app, which is a rare find in the app stores in today's fitness world. Functional fitness and real-world conditioning have always been my focus, and this app adds new exercises and functionalities that other apps I have tried are missing. The exercises require minimal equipment, offer tremendous variety, and even include rare partner-based drills that two people can perform together. This is one of the fitness apps that properly supports and improves functional training."

— Matt

Built for People Who Train Hard

Three core audiences, one philosophy: efficiency over form, real recovery for real workloads.

Driven Individuals & Functional Athletes

Problem: Generic gym routines build "show muscles" but lack real-world application. You want to be capable, not just look fit.

Solution: Unlock a library of unique exercises derived from elite self-defense training. Build explosive power, mobility, and resilience that supports daily life.

Result: Train different. Break plateaus with novel stimuli and professional-grade recovery tracking.

Martial Artists, Military & LEO

Problem: You train for survival, not just aesthetics. Standard fitness apps don't understand the demands of combatives, tactical training, and high-stress environments.

Solution: Access conditioning drills proven in the field. Log soreness to prevent burnout, and use recovery data to ensure you're always mission-ready.

Result: A body that doesn't lag behind your will to win. Functional dominance and injury prevention.

The Aspiring Capable (Beginners)

Problem: You've never trained before, but you want to discover what your body and mind are truly capable of. You need a path to whole-body strength without the confusion and egotism of gym culture.

Solution: Start with these foundational movements that build strength, endurance and capability from the ground up. Learn to listen to your body with the soreness tracker.

Result: Experience a transformation in confidence and physical resilience. Unlock a body/mind connection you didn't know was possible.
