BODi by Beachbody Reviews

I have subscribed to BOD for over six years and I am enjoying having access to all of the workouts and the portability of being able to workout when I travel. BODi is laid out well and it is easy to use. Having access to all historical BB workouts is great and allows you to mix and match or just try something to see if you even like it before committing to the entire workout A few items to get it to 5 stars: 1-while there workout tracker rather than having to print out paper versions of the trackers the old p90x app allowed you to track your weights and reps in BODi so would like to see that feature added. 2-don’t make BODi subscribers wait months for new content as we are paying the annual fee so release it to BODi at the same time. I get you want to maximize profits to get people to buy new content but give loyal subscribers access. Maybe if you have been a BOD member for 3 years or something you get preferred early access to new content I have not tried any of the live stuff yet. I just did 645 and enjoyed this as a good mix of weights, cardio and stretching. Not a high calorie burn so just a heads up on this. Joel’s Liift 4 and mbfa are still favorites as is 22 min hard corps for a quick workout with high burn. The new 645 platform works a whole bunch of different body parts for functional fitness so it is helping me since I am in the over 50 category and trying to stay stretched out.

I love it.. Although I don't want to lift lol.. Has never really been my thing.. I don't discriminate against anyone who wants to. But .. I do love working out and this gives an option to work out at home and also if you choose to use other program materials offered in the Beachbody LLC program. But ..I think someone is in BODi store editing Beachbody LLC end terms. Along with some others only bc I can tell by the change in font.. The style and I remember what it said before and it wasn't that. It was/ is positive so I just thought I should let someone know. It is the right thing to do . But overall still a 5 js. I love it. And will continue to use it regardless of anything. More ppl should try to be healthier all the way around. This program is a form of therapy for many. So keep being you . And .. Working out for me has never been an issue. And every person is differnet and works out on different levels..programs etc. I just enjoy cardio... And I eat pretty healthy and anyone could eat better etc.. I just choose to cook or eat what my body craves. I've been told.. That your body craves what it's lacking. So I don't use supplements etc . They aren't for everyone unless consulted with a physcian first. But I am always open to trying new things.

I’ve been using BODi for over a year and it’s been working great until now. I hate going to the gym and I’d much rather work out at home with the kiddos nearby so BODi is great for getting a good workout in the comfort of your own home. I always stream the workouts to my tv via chrome cast but after the IOS 12 update, the chrome cast icon is non existent. There is a message from the support center on the troubleshooting page stating that they are aware of this issue and they give a suggested tip for a temporary fix (which doesn’t work for me) and they assure us that they are working quickly to resolve the issue with a permanent fix. My concern is that we’ve been waiting for over a month now and I have not been able to use BODi at all since then. I have tried everything as far as the suggested tip of turning off Bluetooth and even WiFi and closing BODi , uninstalling BODi and reinstalling and I check for updates on the daily. I have already paid for my annual subscription but have lost over a months worth of workouts due to this issue with no word on when it will actually be resolved. Now I’m just throwing money down the drain. Somebody needs to work faster to fix the issue or start comping the subscriptions for iPhone users.

I love BeachBody and would normally rate BODi with a Five Star.
I bought the Apple Watch second generation just because of the compatibility with BeachBody. It worked perfectly for a few months and then just like one other person stated, I as well started having problems that the Watch kept disconnecting from BODi mid workout and now the iPhone app would not synchronize with the iPad/watch or appletv app/watch. If I airplay from my iPhone the watch connects and keeps track of my heart rate and calories but if I play my workouts form the iPad app or the Apple Tv app neither my iPhone or watch detects the workout. I've deleted all apps and reinstalled from all devices, signed out and back in and I can't seem to play all three devices when working out. If away from home I do t want to watch ny workouts from my phone screen and prefer the iPad but still want the Apple Watch to track calories or when home I don't want to be streaming from my phone when I can play it straight from the TV. Please correct the issue in conjunction with Apple as I first thought it was just me (my devices).
BODi workout tracker is also not tracking my workouts. The last workout tracked was on June 13, 2017.

I loved the My Challenge Tracker App, but the BODGroups feature needs some help to truly replace it. It’s very buggy and difficult to use. There’s no way to expand comments on posts which appear automatically truncated, and some show just the poster’s name with no content at all. The sync feature no longer logs the full name of your workout in blue and leaves space for you to write a post - the whole reason I liked sync was that the blue title text gave more detail than “logged a workout”. It was easy and intuitive to add text and a photo and log the workout. Now it’s impossible to add a longer note without first posting and then editing, and the sync feature is basically useless. It also no longer sends a notification when sync has logged your workout reminding you to post, but maybe I just haven’t found that setting yet. Settings are hard to find. Sometimes clicking the notification button just does nothing. Scrolling is broken in the group feed so that if you accidentally scroll up a giant header comes down and covers all the text. This whole update took an app I loved to use that was starting to replace Facebook for my daily social scroll, and instead made it bulky, unusable, and frustrating to do even the most basic tasks. Please give it some love to bring BODi back to the 5-star product we know it can be!

I hate the gym! I barely have time to workout. I get super intimidated by all the people in so much better shape than me. Weights are not my thing. I just kept paying for monthly membership and never going. My mom suggested I try a workout video since my brother lost weight doing P90x. That’s when I found Shaun T. The first time I did the original Insanity for 60 days and followed the nutrition plan. I lost 55 lbs. I never sweat like that before in my life! Then I got pregnant. I didn’t keep up with activity or the nutrition plan & I gained it all back. I thought with a family I’ll never have time for Insanity some of the workout are almost an hour. Then I found Insanity max 30 it’s only 30 minutes y’all! I am already down 10lbs just 2 weeks in! I fit in at whatever time in the day I have time even if it’s 10pm! The fit life is a journey & it takes dedication. Shaun T is the perfect person to go on that journey with me even though I don’t know him we are besties. Lol When I’m feeling lazy I can hear him in my head you have to conquer your mind to transform your body. When I’m working out & I want to quit I can hear him saying this is the time to dig deeper you got this! I recommend him to anyone who is just like me!

“21 days to build a habit” my Dad always told me. My “go to workout plan” when I have fallen off the exercise and eating right is 21 Day Fix. I am coming back after a knee injury (and honestly I started feeling sorry for myself). I love the Real Time 21 Day Fix because I was essentially starting from the beginning (since all I had been doing is PT for 6 months). I love Autumn’s encouragement and her spirit! As I head into the last day of 21 Day Fix, I am trying to figure out my next workout plan.

I do love app! I remember the early days of trying to use BODi . They have done a great job at correcting the glitches. I love the flexibility of BODi . In years past, I have downloaded several workouts before a cruise. I was able to continue working out offline. If I am remembering correctly I think downloaded material only stays on your device for a week (maybe longer). One thing to remember is turn the WiFi off in settings on your phone, otherwise the downloaded material will not play.

Thank you Beach Body for putting together easy to follow plans and continuing to offer gym membership quality workouts!

I have done beach body programs for years and love them so I decided to sign up for beach body on demand. I find BODi to be very disappointing and not user friendly. I’ve turned the workout tracker on but it doesn’t ever automatically bring up the workouts I’ve done in the tracker, I still have to enter them manually. I’ve had to reset my password for no reason because I kept getting an unknown error when trying to login. When logging into BODi , it doesn’t save any information so I have to type everything in every day. If I leave myself logged in the next day I have either been logged out or things are frozen so I have to login every day. The last workout I’ve done is not what shows up first in the workout list so I have to search for it. I think BODi should be smarter and know if you’re doing a certain program-it should be able to recognize that and suggest the next workout when you open it. I am using chrome cast to cast from my iPad to the TV and the chrome cast connection is never there when I first open BODi in the morning so I have to power down and reboot the iPad. I have even tried uninstalling and reinstalling BODi and still have the same problems.

I had been using the dvds at home and loved them, but now BBOD and so many others to work out with. I find myself working out for hours without even thinking twice. The Cize 8 count Abs is gruesome, I still can't keep up sometimes , but it's worth it .... let's be honest ,I could look at Shaun T the rest of my life but seriously , my abs are looking more defined!!!!!
BODi does have bugs, I have used customer support each time (3) I needed help, each time worked it out to my complete satisfaction. It took about 30 minutes each time, but twice I was signing on to a computer in hotel room or friends house and once to start with my Apple iPhone . I would not recommend buying app through i tunes because the BBOD customer service is far more prepared and helpful for site support. They won't hang up till it's solved. I liked BODi so much I called during a year subscription amazing deal and they actually credited my monthly payments already paid on to the year special making it a even better deal. I love BODi it's changed my life exercise routine definitely positively improvement for me . Oh Btw I'm 57y/o mom who Hip Hops with Shaun T in my home every night!

I started Beach body to lose weight. I spent less time fitting a workout into my daily schedule because there is no drive time to the gym. I seen results immediately. MBF (muscle burns fat) program gave me what running and group classes did not; targeted muscle gain. I lost 20 lbs the first four and half months and became stronger.
During those months of working out I had other health issues leading to a hysterectomy. The surgery went better than planned and my doctor stated the overall physical improvement contributed to that success. We thought this was just routine surgery. The doctor found cancer developIng and she was able to remove it intact leaving me cancer free with no radiation or chemo needed. I give God credit for the healing and for the timing to use this program that helped in my recovery. It was a contributing factor to the surgical success and recovery.
After surgery I was not allowed any physical activity. During that time I continued to loss weight.# Muscle Burns Fat. I am back to working out and I am down 30 lbs even with the 8 week no exercise restriction. . Thank you Beach Body and MBF.

Ya know that excited feeling you get when you want to workout? If so, then you also know how quickly that urge can leave your body when you have to wait for technology to work properly. I downloaded BODi, selected a program and was ready to get to work. I was impressed with the selection and options. The wide variety gave me hope that I wouldn’t get bored quickly. I started with the intro video for Country Heat. It was about 15 minutes long and they just show you the moves you will be using in the actual workouts. I cast the video from my iPhone to my smart TV with no issues. When the intro video ended I was ready to move into my workout but was quickly halted because now BODi won’t cast. The video starts on my phone and when I press the cast button it pauses, spins and shuts off- taking me back to the list of available videos. After retrying several times and trying to cast other videos as well, I reached out to customer service via chat. They were of zero help- telling me to connect my device and tv to the same WiFi (they already are).
I’ve got kids, I work, I've got a house to keep up with and when I am ready to exercise because I have the time to squeeze it in, it need to do it during that allotted time. That’s part of what was so appealing about BODi. Bummer. I really wanted to love it.

I’ve used BOD for >3yrs. Decided it was time to write a review. It’s a great app, I got it when I was in the worst shape of my life and it has helped me get into great shape (sorry BOD, not the best shape - 20s are hard to beat!). It has a great variety of workouts, yoga/HIIT/strength/bulk/more all tailored to at home workouts. Some workouts require basic equipment like dumbbells or balance balls, others require no equipment - there’s several options both with & without equipment. Their programs are well put together ranging from 3wk-12wk duration - most have workout and diet plans, plus other supplemental info. The workout videos are well produced and the coaches are positive and motivating. You can cast to a TV for a bigger screen.

My only complaint. While BODi is easy to use and functions well, it acts like it’s the first time I’ve used it…every time I use it. It asks my permission to access my WI-FI for casting even though I’ve clicked OK 5-6 days a week for the past >3yrs. There’s a couple other prompts that BODi should remember after the first response. Minor inconveniences but it does get old.

I’ve always been an athletic sport player mainly soccer and softball,but after having 4 kids in 7 years it’s been impossible for me to have time for myself. I tried Beachbody 21day fix extreme after my second child 4 years ago and lost 40lbs. I was in the best shape of my life and got pregnant only 10 months after my 2nd was born. And since have had 2others almost back to back. All by csection! Which does a number on your body and I’m also a full time cosmetologist so I needed my body to be strong for my job as well as my mommy life. I know my body will never be what it once was prechildren which I’m fine with, I’m very blessed and grateful that God chose me to be their mommy but for my sanity I needed something that works with my life and going to the gym wasn’t an option. On demand is amazing bc you have so many choices and can do it on your time. Thank you to all these amazing instructors and the overall program. Doing the 21day fix containers also worked for me and it’s the only program that I’m never hungry. Shakology is also an everyday easy part of my life.

I’ve been using BODi for about five or six months. It seems to play the work out videos pretty well. The biggest problem I have is that, despite turning on the notification setting, I still don’t get notified when someone in my group posts a comment. I am also disappointed that there is no place to track your nutrition. You can track almost everything else and nutrition is such an important part of a healthy lifestyle. Why wouldn’t we want to track it? I also have problems with the work out videos multiplying themselves in the tracking section. So if I do one work out, it might double it in tracking and I’ll have to delete one. My group has noticed that the workouts will not go into the group feed unless We include a comment with the work out in tracking. This is despite the setting for it to go to the group feed regardless. Our coach posts videos from Beach Body in the group feed which we cannot access either. So there are a number of bugs to work out. Hopefully the developers will take this to heart and make it a truly useful app. That will only help us take our journeys to the next level.

I’ve never been disciplined enough to keep up with a workout regime. I feel like beach body has provided me that opportunity. Not only do I have a scheduled workout that I know I’ll be doing 5 out of 7 days a week but I have sooo many more workouts at my fingertips. After I finish my workout, I stretch with yoga or sometimes I even do a second workout with something more fun, (like one of the dance fitness classes). I’m also learning what kind of workouts I like and which ones don’t seem to be a good fit for me. The groups, also cool- I can follow along with others who are right there in it with me. Although I’m just getting into the food side of things, it’s been incredibly easy to pre make meals and keep up with eating what Autumn recommends I should. (She’s also super funny to workout with and inspirational, 21 day fix, real time, she kicked my booty and made me work harder than I would have). One of the best things I’ve ever done for myself and I know that being at the beginning of my journey!

I’ve been using BODi since November now and the quality was great, the only bugs were after using BODi and coming back to it later nothing would load so I’d have to close out of it on my iPhone and reopen it to load everything again. Super annoying but worked. NOW I’ve done the update and I don’t know if it’s because a million people are starting their resolutions but the quality of the videos are so bad I can’t even see what moves they’re doing, I can’t even use it at this point. I went online to watch them and yesterday it was great quality except absolutely no sound so I had to play to get sound from my phone and play from my computer to see the workout. Today I tried doing the same thing but the workout I wanted to do is having errors and can’t be played. It’s extremely frustrating creating a routine and forming a habit of working out every morning to better myself to then not be able to use BODi I pay for and miss my workout because quality is garbage. If it is a streaming issue it’s unfair to me that I have to rearrange my entire schedule and workout during off times just to use this product, because maybe at night when quality is better I’m no longer in the mood to do a workout and then I miss mine for the day.

About a year ago my wife had a friend who lost a lot of weight through something called Beach Body. At first I thought it was cheesy and watched from a distance. I had been a college basketball player and always worked out 3-4 days a week. Unfortunately I travel a bit for work and my eating habits had gotten the better of me. I was overweight but active... it was frustrating but I didn’t know how to break the cycle. I tried one of the videos then started the containers and finally got in full swing! The short videos were easy to do at home and the buckets helped me figure where I had gone wrong in my diet. I dropped 30 lbs over the first couple of months and have kept it off for over a year!! I feel the best I have in years. I feel the system overall is easy to maintain and I am so glad our friend started talking to us about it. This program changed my life! I remain incredibly grateful for the simplicity and impact of Beach Body!! Even after I broke my foot this winter I was able to modify the workouts and stay consistent.

I have been using BOD for a little over a year. I had bought Beachbody DVD’s in the past and really liked them, so I thought this would be a good fit. I could use some of the same programs I bought before with modern convenience and maybe also try something new. Boy was I in for a great surprise! I needed to lose weight ! I started just using the Turbo Jam / Turbo fire I KNEW. I lost some weight and felt stronger and decided to try out some of the other programs. I did the 21 day fix real time series, the LIIFT4, Barre Blend and 10 Rounds! I also occasionally throw in some extra yoga. All in all I lost 60 pounds and at 52 feel stronger and healthier than I did at 35! I have eliminated 1 prescription and massively reduced the dose of the other. When I gyms closed due to COVID I had no panic because my favorite workouts were still available to me any time and anywhere!!! I am now enjoying the new relaxation and meditation series! How does it get any better? Thank you for this great product, it is truly life changing!!! ❤️

I love beach body programs - fun and easy access! I tried size it and 21 day fix ! Both Shaun and Autumn are awesome and fun! From what I’ve tried so far I found that it really gives you what it promises! You just gotta stick to it all the way and just as they say! No short cuts or breaks in between! I end up starting from the beginning when I decide to take a break in between ( well depends on how lose your break is). It’s amazing how I’m noticing a difference from the first week with Autumn and lost half an inch already and feeling so much lighter! I’m sure my 3 inches yet to lose are locked up in week 2 and 3 :) can’t wait to share my final results ! With size it, I lost at least 15 pounds from doing it for 4 weeks! Barely felt like I was working out , I mean it was a sweaty session at the end but I find it so much fun learning all these cool dance moves so it ties your mind off the calories burn! These moves came in handy on some dance floors and at home when I’m bored and feel like envisioning my stage performance lol

The reason I joined Beachbody was because I was told all about the wonderful work out videos and how you can download them from BODi making it possible to watch anywhere from your phone or iPad. I joined in October 2017 and BODi worked well for me until I wanted to do A little Obsessed. That was in December. Since then I haven’t been able to download any videos without them coming out blurry. I have contacted costumer service three times. The second time they told me that it was the first time that they even knew about the issue. What?! Then the third time I was told the same thing as the first time, “This is a known problem and our technical staff is working on it. Please be patient.” How much longer do I need to be patient? Another month? Two months? At least give us some kind of an update on the progress of what your technical service is doing. I’ve heard that I can unsubscribe but I won’t get my money back. I was really looking forward to the 80 Day Obsession and will try to figure out how to be able to watch it instead of downloading it to my phone. If this isn’t resolved, I won’t be renewing my membership next year. I think it is poor business when you offer a product and you don’t get what is advertised. I’m not even sure if that is legal.

I’ve been a Beachbody user for many years; started with the DVD’s which were very good. With the advent of mobile apps and the discontinuation of P90X app I thought for sure they would have all their ducks in a row with testing all phases of the BOD app as the replacement. WoW I was very surprised that has not been the case. I initially tried BODi went it first came out and was disappointed due to a lack of synchronization with my Apple Watch and iPhone. I then went back to the DVD’s for close to a year. Several days ago I downloaded BODi again hoping there would be improvements; my goodness how I was surprised once again with the same issues occurring. When staring The Shop my watch tells me to accept the disclaimer. I accept it and the dumbbell hourglass continues to spin and doesn’t disappear. I’ve attempted this 4 times yesterday and today and finally gave up and used the mixed cardio routine on my watch. Come on Beachbody; have some real developers and tester validate all the features. You are charging people for a product that isn’t fully functional (BODi is no doubt included in the monthly fee) with no resolution to these issues since it was rolled out. Please add to and not take away from your good reputation because of a poorly designed app.

I used to able to do my work out on my iPad and use my Apple watch to track the work out on the watch app. I would just click on the work out on the watch app, and the watch app would start running. Since the last update, the Apple Watch app will not run unless you are running the work out on your iPhone, not your iPad or TV. It says you must log into the Beachbody app on your iPhone. If you login on your iPhone, this is not enough, you must be running the workout program on your phone. I can’t see the video on the tiny iPhone so when I’m traveling I like to use my iPad for it. This causes me to have to run the workout simultaneously on my iPad and my iPhone and burn out my iPhone battery for the day. Also, The watch app freezes up a lot since the last Apple Watch system upgrade so every couple of days I have to turn it off in the Apple Watch section of my iPhone and then we loaded. Not sure if that is an Apple Watch problem but my other apps don’t freeze.

This is my 2nd round of 80 DO & although I have tried and loved multiple BB workouts, this one is epic!! Absolutely amazing and so far my favorite! The realists I have seen with it have not jut met my expectations, it exceeded them beyond my what I thought was possible for me! I am 49 & by far in the best shape of my life!! (And I have been active & fit most of my life). I look at myself in the mirror or in the pics & cant believe it’s me...it’s like someone pasted my face on an elite athlete’s body! But that’s just the bonus...the BEST part is the way I FEEL! Amazing!! Thank you B.B. & Autumn Calabrese for changing my world! When you do this program, go all in...workouts (leave it all out in the floor) AND nutrition!! It makes a huge difference! People pass in the nutrition & ‘just eat healthy’...and say ‘sure I would get a little better results if I followed the nutrition plan, but I Good results already’. NO!! With the nutrition plan you will get not just ‘a little better results’ you will get ASTOUNDINGLY better results!! So go for it! Nutrition is a game changer!

I am obsessed with BOD! Ever since I was young I’ve been obsessed with exercising videos! I’ve always wanted to be fit and strong! Through tragic loss of my Mom when I was 16 made me put on the pounds. Luckily I’ve been able to keep my weight to about 120... but every once in a while it would sky rocket up to 140 and I would feel so uncomfortable! Now I’m back down to 119... and truth is I want to push it this time! So I’m going for 108!!! Which is my ideal weight at 5’2 but being lean and strong! I basically threw out the scale and take pics now! I eat a vegan/vegetarian/gluten free clean diet mostly with little dairy every other week... so I got the nutrition down! Now!! I just push myself with BOD WORKOUTS! I’m starting off with Clean week and next is 21 day fix! After that is 21 Day fix extreme!!! My goal is too look, feel and be, slimmer, sexier and stronger in my next 29 years!!! I’m going to the J-Lo and Gwen Stefani look!! Ageless!!! At 48 even at 58!!! It’s possible! Thank You Beachbody! You are my savior!

I love Beachbody On Demand and have done various beachbody workout programs for years. BODi is fine if only using to stream the workouts on your phone but useless if trying to utilize BODi through my 3rd gen Apple Watch, which is the only reason I dl it in the first place. Choosing a workout on my watch is fine and tracks my workout, but that’s where it ends. It does not transfer information to my iPhone XS Max properly at all. In the last couple months only 3 workouts show up in BODi on my phone (I workout at least 5 days a week). Forget checking my heart rate because that doesn’t show up at all. When looking at workouts through my watch app on my phone, none of the workouts show up on the proper days and might not show up at all or duplicate themselves. So it completely messes up my monthly goals and personal goals.

Downloaded material does not show up in my downloaded section either. But when I go to download the workout again, thinking it must not have actually downloaded it says the video is already downloaded, THEN WHERE IS IT????

BOD gets 5 stars from me but BODi is awful! Will be going back to the apple activity tracker and getting rid of BODi.

I use my iPad for my workouts but I can never get a Full Screen view. I don’t think there is a Beachbody On Demand app made specifically for the iPad.

Also, all or some of the videos (p90x3, 80 day Obsession, yoga, T25, etc.) “On Demand” are very blurry for about 2-3 minutes when they start at any given time or the video simply will not load. I purchased BODi close to a month ago and this has happened 7 times so far.

Don’t get me wrong. It is great when it works properly but unfortunately, I have had an issue or 2 once or twice a week so far. It’s good to have every workout that Beachbody has ever made, and any future new ones, at your disposal anytime you want for just $99 a year. I think that’s a fair price for what you are getting. The problem is, you are not getting the product/service “anytime you want” on some days.

It would also be nice if I could “cast” the videos to my TV screen. However, I don’t want to overwhelm Beachbody! Let’s get the basic technical issues, that I previously mentioned, fixed first.

If Beachbody fixes the iPad issue so that I can see the videos Full Screen on my iPad and the sporadic loading issues of the videos and the clarity issue so that the videos are not blurry for the first 2-3 minutes, then I will be more motivated to renew my subscription next year. Other than that, I will put that money towards a local gym membership.

4 years of Shakeology & workouts! The on demand workouts are awesome; so many to choose from! It was an awesome improvement when on demand was introduced! I’m currently on my second round of LIIFT4 & it is my favorite program so far. T25 is a close 2nd. Country Heat is awesome when I’m feeling sluggish and need to get moving, it’s a great beginner program if you like country music! And I can’t forget PiYo! That’s the program that got me hooked on Beachbody! Great combination of Pilates & Yoga, harder than I anticipated it would be, awesome workouts! As far a Shakeology, I can’t say enough about it! It keeps me healthy & I notice a difference if I skip a day. Beachbars are a tasty good snack to kill the mid-afternoon cravings. Lastly the performance products. I was never really into the performance products until I started LIIFT4 and realized how beneficial they are to get me up and going before my workout and to help relieve the soreness after the workout. Thanks Beachbody for keeping me healthy & fit!
