BODi Home Fitness & Workouts
BODi offers a wide variety of effective home workouts with top-tier trainers, making it a valuable option for many, but it is plagued by significant app functionality issues, poor customer service, and high, sometimes predatory, subscription pricing.
BODi provides a vast library of effective home workouts led by experienced trainers, which many users find life-changing and a great alternative to a gym membership. However, numerous complaints about app bugs, unresponsive customer service, difficulties canceling subscriptions, and high, non-transparent pricing indicate significant drawbacks.
Free vs paid
The app description states 'Free' but reviews indicate that access to workouts and programs requires a subscription, with no mention of a free trial or free content from many users R275R342R397. Some users mention starting with a free trial that converted into a subscription R107R397. Paid options include 3-month and 12-month subscriptions, with prices ranging from $99 to $189 upfront R342R358R360. Some users also report being charged for supplements like Shakeology on a recurring basis .

Skip if you are on a tight budget, as many find the subscription prices too high and lacking more affordable packages or monthly options R20R342R358R360. Also skip if you prioritize reliable app performance and responsive customer service, as many users report significant bugs, login issues, and difficulty canceling subscriptions R2R21R46R100.
Evidence note: The lifetime rating is very high, but recent reviews, particularly from users in the UK and Canada, are overwhelmingly negative, focusing on app bugs, customer service, and pricing changes. The positive reviews tend to be older or focus solely on workout effectiveness, often without mentioning the app's technical performance or pricing. The monetization information from the product page indicates in-app purchases are false, but price points are listed, and reviews clearly state required subscriptions and IAPs, suggesting a discrepancy or a change in monetization model not reflected in the product page data.

- [R20] Buena pero: Tiene rutinas increíblemente buenas y funcionan, pero deben de crear paquetes más económicos para esas personas que no pueden esa cantidad puedan obtener algunas rutinas por un precio más módico
- [R342] BODi got greedy!: BODi got greedy! Only 3 or 12 month subscriptions available! Where’s the monthly option gone? Forcing us to spend £99 or £189 up front without giving as much as one free sample workout! I used BODi for years when it cost £14.99/ month, before they changed the subscription overnight! Such a shame. Luckily there’s a lot of other, decent priced options out there.
- [R358] Super expensive: I loved this app for years but what on earth happened to the price!! It’s more for a month than what it was for 3 months.will not be using it anymore
- [R360] Toooooo expensive!: I used to love my workouts with beachbody. I sustained an injury and it’s taken a while to recover so I didn’t renew. Now that iv recovered I decided to get myself back into shape. The price has gone ridiculously high!! My gym membership isn’t this high! I’m so so disappointed as it was convenience of using the app. I think I’m just going to have to be disciplined and stick
- [R100] Predatory subscription: Stay away from this app. We paid for a year then after canceled through app then they kept charging 96$ every quarter. No customer service no email to contact no phone number. Had to lift it as fraud and change bank account. Just another fitness scam to locks you in but won’t let you cancel
- [R107] Horrible Customer Service: UPDATED TO THEIR RESPONSE: I started the free trial, I loved the original P90x. The billing is outside of the app, so switching back and forth my login didn’t transfer over, so I ended up with both both the P90x and the BODi free trial which then both turned into subscriptions. The p90x is part of BODi, so it makes no sense to have the two separate subscriptions, I see i
- [R21] Will not refund. Theft.: Customer service is the worst. I signed up under an incorrect (misspelled) email address and did not have access to the account but was still charged for several months despite disputing charges. There was no way to cancel the subscription because I had no access to the account. I had to confirm my email to login but not to make the initial payment. Eventually through a ch
- [R490] Impossible to cancel: I’ve had this app on my phone for over a year and found it impossible to cancel. I’ve tried there instructions which are incorrect. There is no cancel button. You then get sent to the website to update your credit card but absolutely no way of cancelling. What makes it worse, I cancelled my card then they took the payment via PayPal. It’s ridiculous the programs on the app
- [R275] It is not free: My plans will need to be free and it is not
- [R397] Free trial?: Your description says I get a free trial when I sign up, I did not. Your app also says I can pay monthly, I can not. My only options are 12 month or 3 month subscriptions. There’s no way in hell that I’m subscribing to anything without a preview of what the app is like.
- [R362] Complete disaster of an app: Before it became Bodi, it was a great app giving access to all programmes which I had previously purchased. Now it’s become a complete streaming service, I lost all the programmes I had previously bought. I have then signed up for 3 months subscription and an issue with the app has not only set up my subscription, but still not given me access to any of the programmes
- [R372] Frustrated: Two months ago this would have been a five. It was my favourite app. But they have now upgraded it, doubled the price and locked out members even though my subscription is still valid for two + months to go. Basically unless you bought the membership direct through them (not through the App Store) your membership is locked out with the new upgrade. This is very disappointing and frustr
- [R495] Do not purchase subscription: Purchased annual subscription through the App and money taken from my account - Team Beachbody say they have no record of it even though I have sent them copies of receipts etc - they say contact Apple - Apple say to contact Team Beachbody - meanwhile my money has not been refunded and neither side will accept responsibility or provide an explanation.
- [R498] Can’t sign in: I purchased this and can’t use it. I have been in touch Beachbody who say it’s down to Apple and Apple say it’s down to Beachbody app. I can’t use my log in details unless I press restore purchase on my app on my phone. Can’t use login on other devices. Please help me as I have wasted £99
- [R3] Gave Up My Gym Membership!: By far the BEST Fitness app! So many great at home workouts, and most of them don’t even require anything extra, but a yoga mat and maybe some optional weights! Worth IT!
- [R9] I’ve been doing the programs for years!!: Something for everyone!
- [R10] Convenient Convenience: Great app for any level of athlete.
- [R18] Variety & Consistency: I love the different options in the Beachbody app… from strength training to yoga to cardio and so many different trainers, you can find what that’s best for you! Plus, the nutrition and recipes are critical for your peak health.
- [R1] Beach Body: They are unmatched in the industry, backed by top-tier trainers.
- [R12] Killing it!: Only a week in, and I’m feeling the burn! The trainers are so experienced and motivating! Let’s go!
- [R15] Best Online Workouts: Gen Xer here. Been with Beachbody since the Tony Horton and Shaun T days, and BODi is still the best workout platform you’ll find online. The variety and coaching quality are why I’ve never cancelled.
- [R67] Love it!: Trainers are educated, talented and motivating
- [R5] 21 day super block: Love it - super effective
- [R13] Booty burn: This program is amazing !! Not only works the booty it works everything!
- [R17] I'm changing myself.: Ever since I was a kid, I dreamed of being fit, of being like all these guys I saw outside, and online. I always thought "I have terrible genes. I will always be like this." I am 13, turning 14 in August. I have been doing DIG IN with Shaun T. I am slowly but surely losing weight, and it's hard. The process isn't easy. But I'm willing to try hard and enjoy it. Never give
- [R22] Get ripped!: Be consistent and change your life. Most people won’t do it because it’s hard, but you can see fantastic results with these programs. Note to the developer: we want more programs like body beast and’s liift more, most people these days have a home gym with barbell and squat rack, so it would be great to see a more traditional weight lifting program added. Dig deeper wasn’t enough, the
- [R7] Review: Love all the workout choices!! Even camping I just did 3 10 minute ones💕💕
- [R14] Best app: This is perfect if you have beach body on-demand. it keeps a record of your recently watched. You can stay logged in and pull up whatever workout you want or whatever program you're going through instantly I give this app five stars.
- [R19] Great and Effective Workouts: I’m a busy working mom with kids in sports and all the things to do… except have time to go to a gym. I’m able to do these workouts in my bedroom. These workouts will kick your butt in the best way.
- [R26] Upgrade Errors: The upgrade requires iOS 17 or higher and does not allow my iPad which is older to download the upgrade. Please fix this
- [R46] Awful: What this app provides is great. But the app doesn’t work, nor does the site have the time. Just says “error”
- [R119] Unable to upgrade: I have an iPad that won’t update to the required IOS for the app now. Frustrating to have the subscription and fight with viewing on safari.
- [R214] Video/Voice Not in sync: Overall the app is great. However, since the last update the voice over is not in sync with the video. It has been anywhere between 3-10 seconds off from each other. I’ve tried restarting my device multiple times. But it has not seem to help. I’m not experiencing this with any other apps.
- [R2] Customer Service: They were just involved in a data breach and make it impossible to talk to someone about deleting your account. They have AI chat bot who conveniently can’t find any information about how to delete your account either.
- [R183] Poor: Not compassionate or customer friendly at ALL. They take your money and do not provide good customer service and their return policy is the worst.
- [R450] no monthly plan: why is there not a monthly payment plan???? sometimes hitting out a quarterly or yearly plan straight up can hinder those that can not afford to pay a sum like that up front
