AlterMe Reviews

I am a physician specializing in wellness and internal medicine. I have been recommending and using Alterme for over a year. I have logged over 700 sessions including cardio, strength, meditation and breathing exercises and going strong. The program attracted me initially by analyzing my genetic DNA driven health strengths and weaknesses (stress). This has given me insight and direction into my personalize program. The alterme biometric band and now the updated alterme ring gives health metrics into sleep, heart rate activity, heart rate variability and is core to my workouts and stress management. The alterme ring is attractive and is a conversation starter with my patients about their wellness challenges. I lead by example. However, it is the multiple fitness applications including progressive cardio, strength, meditation and breathing exercises that are core to the program.

I’ve been using the Alter Ring along with the AlterMe app, and overall my experience has been very positive. The ring is comfortable to wear, lightweight, and easy to forget about during the day. I like that it tracks a variety of health metrics without being bulky or distracting. The AlterMe app is very user-friendly and gives clear explanations of each health score. I’ve found the recommendations helpful, especially the personalized goals and tips. It has helped me understand my sleep, stress levels, and activity patterns in a more meaningful way.

I love my Alter mirror and the app. I struggled with using workout apps on my phone. I love waking up in the morning and met with the gentle lighting around the outside of the mirror. I don't like turning on the lights, so this soothes me. I also love that there is not a lot of chatting like the usual three person session. You watch a trainer explain and it's on a timer, so a 10 min or 20 min workout is truly that. I love that if you do the workouts requested for the week it waives the app fee; so I just pay the monthly payment for the mirror and it's totally worth it. No more trying to watch my little phone. If I'm lying down stretching I can watch the mirror and not move to see the change.

I love my alter system! The DNA was very insightful and gave me a good foundation to start the program. I started in February with the wristband I used it to sleep and track my workouts. Recently I purchased the ring. I wear the ring all day everyday. It is very accurate as I have a Garmin that does the same thing and they are in perfect sync. The workouts are tailored to you. When you wear your ring to sleep wake up log in the app and based on your sleep gives your workout that day. Also, with the mirror they have playlist to workout to that is preloaded with different genre’s. Awesome Songs! The workouts get casted from the phone to the screen. It’s honestly pretty cool. For the eating portion no longer do you need to log each thing you eat because you take a picture and it’s done for you!!! I would give the system 10 stars if I could. Thank you Alter!

Hi everyone. I got my AlterMe pro 3 days ago and honestly it is fascinating how it works. The ring is gorgeous I got mine in gold, very comfortable. Keep in mind the tester size is bulky and is less comfortable. Choose the size that seats snug but not super tight, the real deal is way more comfortable, you don’t want it to fall while you are running around or washing dishes. My favorite part of the morning now is to check how i slept, now it makes sense why i have been waking up tired, barely get deep sleep and the meditation before bed helps. The mirror is my favorite thing honestly, without it I would probably be less enthusiastic to work out. It’s less of a chore and more of a fun activity to me. I have been working out for a long time barely seeing results and honestly I am very excited to try something that is designed specifically for me

Buyer Beware! They advertise AlterMe to be HSA/FSA eligible. This was the main reasons I bought the ring. Unfortunately AlterMe has not been able to provide the necessary documentation to my FSA company so I can be reimbursed. I’ve reached out to my salesperson (Adam) and have not gotten a response. The initial cost for the ring was $99. The rest of cost is being financed at $125 a month for 12 months.

I purchased the dna kit at a discount. You do have to listen to a sales pitch. I knew this ahead of the game. I did decide to go ahead and purchase the whole kit, the ring, mirror. They were having a sale. I paid 99 down and 75 a month for 20 something months. Everything came quick. The ring was very bulky and I decided not for me. Then they offered to exchange it for a slim ring, This was much better. I have been using it ever since. I think I'm a month in. The ring does not register your sleep correctly. I try to relax around 830 and sleep at 9. I always get up at 4 for drink of water and go back to sleep. I never has me a sleep when I fall asleep and has me awake a 4. So then my daily score is low.

I wish I had read the reviews before agreeing to this. The ring doesn’t work. It is has never been accurate in my step count - off by thousands of steps compared to two other step counting devices. The ring glows green most of the time - which is annoying to sleep with and will ruin a photo by reflecting green everywhere. And the app doesn’t work like it said it would. They keep sending emails saying that it is due to an outage with a third party. After reading the reviews, sounds like it’s been a pretty long outage. Don’t waste your money. Which, by the way, is a ton of money…

Initially, I thought that the ring was great. But since then it has not been working properly. Does not track my sleep as it always seems to be disconnected. I also bought it with my FSA card and was told that it would be FSA eligible and since then I have been unable to get a legitimate receipt to turn in to my FSA card. I have asked for a receipt several times with no response. The only time they ever responded was to sell me another ring when mine was lost. Typical company trying to capitalize on people’s insecurities. Not worth $1699.

I’ve taken a couple DNA tests before and they mostly focused on ancestry. I was curious what a health-focused report would look like. The DNA+ version was surprisingly insightful, especially the sections about micronutrients and metabolic patterns. It gave me context I never had before.
