AlterMe Reviews

I recently started using the Alter Fit Me Ring and I’m already seeing the benefits. It’s super comfortable and tracks everything from sleep to heart rate. What really impressed me is how it uses my DNA to personalize fitness and nutrition advice—no more guessing what works for my body! The app is easy to use, and the daily insights help me stay on track without feeling overwhelmed. I’ve even started adjusting my workouts based on the recommendations, and I feel more energized and focused. If you're just getting started, stick with it—it’s like having a wellness coach that actually understands you. Highly recommend!

I didn’t think I could feel this good while still being this busy. But here we are. My energy doesn’t crash halfway through the day anymore, and I actually look forward to moving my body. It feels sustainable in a way nothing else ever has.

I’m a night shift nurse, so my sleep patterns are chaotic. AlterMe does its best, but I think the sleep scoring struggles when your "night" is 11 a.m. It’s not really fair to the program—I just live upside down.

The new sleep score feature is spot-on. It helps me decide whether to push hard or take a recovery day. I’m training smarter, avoiding burnout, and seeing better results without overdoing it. It’s the kind of insight I didn’t know I was missing.

I’ve used MyFitnessPal for years, but AlterMe’s DNA-based recommendations and real-time scanning are just smarter. It feels more personal, less generic—and the results reflect that. Instead of tracking everything manually, I get tailored guidance that adapts as I go.

Honestly, the redesign made me more consistent. It’s fun to open the app now. That matters. The layout is clean, the insights are clearer, and everything feels more motivating. It’s like the experience finally matches the quality of the data.

This company is preying on people that are trying to get healthy. Starts out simple enough with the promise of a DNA test that will give you personalized information. You find out later that there are maybe four or five “types” that everyone fits into. They won’t give you your results unless you get on a phone call with a sales person. It’s a pretty hard sell as they’re trying to get you to sign up right then and there. They promise you nutritional information, personalized coaching, a ring that tells you how your body is physiologically, but it’s all bullshit.

Whole process is a gimmick. They pitch “dna testing” for improving your health and fitness, but it’s just a sales pitch for a subscription. Products aren’t accurate and customer service has been poor.

My signal wristband stopped working after the time frame that allows cancellation. Now I am stuck with a product I don't want or need. I still have over $1300 left to pay. I've joined a gym now since that does work! I didn't like the program either because the nutrition component only let you see a recipe by that day. You couldn't make up a grocery list for the week. On the fitness side, some instructors gave instructions on form while others did not. There were any suggestions for modifications for people with frozen shoulder or recovering from torn meniscus root surgery. For me the whole experience has been a big fail and I just want to cancel my subscription and stop paying Affirm for a product that doesn't work for me.

The consult went great and the ring came quickly. However, when I got the ring, it wouldn't charge. Tier 1 support was helpful but by the time I got to Tier 3 support (the engineers), it went downhill. I was talked to like I was an idiot who couldn't charge the ring properly. I'm a retired engineer/computer scientist myself; I did so much troubleshooting before I even reached out to support, so it was insulting to be told several times to clean the lens or how the ring should sit in the case. Once I mentioned Reddit has several complaints about the same thing, they no longer wanted to help. They know the rings are faulty. They will not send you a new one; I asked before I even got to the engineers. Note, you will be charged a restock fee on top of everything else you paid.

This place is selling a product that is not fully as great as it sounds. They fool you into taking a DNA test that provides you with very general information. I was super excited about the option as all the reviews (because they only allow positive reviews on their page since you cannot post there yourself) were very encouraging. After I met with Jake ** who was my wellness coach he shared how unique Alter is and again was excited as they share personalized workouts, dietary guidance with nutritionist to help plan meals, and a coach. So I bought the system. Needless to say what followed has been a terrible experience. No diets (was told I needed to take my macros from the app and use AI to generate a meal plan), no coach, just a mirror that has workouts, the app which attempt so motivate and a wearable that tracks your sleep.

I bought this program because they said it is DNA based. It is, however, the info on nutrition was just macros. I was told I would get either meal plans or recommendations. The signal (wearable) is scratchy, bulky, and doesn’t work most of the time. It is supposed to show heart rate, especially with cardio and doesn’t work 95% of the time. It also takes about 5 minutes to download your info in the morning to see your HRV score. Every time I reach out to customer service they tell me to rest my signal. I have done it 3 times and it doesn’t fix the problem. I’ve read this is still in beta, which is dissatisfied for $3,000. Don’t spend the money. Go buy a Whoop! It’s better and works!!

I recently returned the Alter Mirror after realizing it’s still in a beta/development phase. Unfortunately, the system did not meet my expectations. What Didn’t Work: The Alter Band never worked, even after trying two different ones. It also failed to track my sleep. In fact, I lost more sleep waking up to check if the app was working—it wasn’t. The Alter Mirror is really just a mirror with an avatar demonstrating exercises. Nothing revolutionary. The Alter App felt underdeveloped and unimpressive. Everything is clearly still in beta. The DNA Kit Results seemed too generic. I even found another user’s results online (a male) that were nearly identical to mine.

I am very disappointed with this system. The wearable device rarely works, and the band is very cheap and irritates my skin. They finally sent me a second device that does not work any better. They also sent me a silicone strap that feels better but falls off when I'm sleeping. The workouts are okay, but nothing special. The yoga is not good. The DNA does not seem to result in any customization. The food plan is marginal. It is released daily so I couldn't possibly shop ahead of time. The coaching is just a bunch of cheerleading, I wanted a system that actually works, not a silly cheerleader telling me everything will be great. It's kind of patronizing.

My Alter coach asked if I would share my experience on here. I'm not sure if my results are normal, but Alter finally cracked the code on why I was never able to get to my desired weight. Being "husky" all my life, I've literally been doing HIIT cardio for the last 15yrs and I've NEVER got to my goal weight of 200lbs. Since Alter provides you with a personalized nutrition plan based on your genetics, I gave it a shot since running hard didn't seem to work. I can't say say enough about how I feel now!! 3 months, and I'm now 205. I'm almost there, but the best thing is that I'm not starving myself, and I know EXACTLY what my body needs and wants. My coach Bailey needs a shout out too. She's amazing and has been cheering me on (a cool Alter feature) ever since my first workout and meal! She suggested my fasting schedule. I hope that if you're on the fence, that you take the chance. Nothing is going to change unless you do.

This service is not worth it. Their "analysis" is a fortune cookie. Alter does not list the 60 biomarkers analyzed- if said analysis actually takes place. They also withhold your "results" until you speak with a fitness expert who tries to sell you a fitness training service and magic mirror for $3,000. Do yourself a favor and don't do it, save your money. There is no analysis, just a waste of time. I was very disappointed.

They tried to charge me $3,000 for a startup fee. I ended up getting a WHOOP and am very happy. My friend who had Alter wearable has found it is nowhere near as insightful and accurate as WHOOP. In conclusion WHOOP is much better of a product and is overall a better deal for sure.

"I love the app’s meal plan! It’s simple to follow, and the recipes actually fit into my life. I’ve lost weight and have way more energy now. I love how practical and effective the meal plan is; it fits my lifestyle perfectly and has boosted my energy levels!"

"I use Alter One for my strength workouts and my Peloton for cardio. The app ties everything together perfectly, so I always know what to do and when." This apps fits me to have a healthy living body and become more stronger everyday.

"The Alter App’s DNA-based nutrition plan is amazing. It’s so detailed but easy to follow, and I’m already feeling healthier and more confident." It boost my confidence as well and more comfortable doing my stuffs.

I used my FSA card to purchase Alter Anywhere, and it was such an easy process. The app gives me personalized workouts, and I’m already down 8 pounds in two months. No excuses now—it fits my budget and schedule!

I used my HSA account to pay for Alter Anywhere, and I’m so glad I did. The app gives me simple workouts I can do from home without feeling overwhelmed. It’s nice to know I invested in something that actually improves my health.

"I’ve tried other workout apps, but Alter Anywhere is the only one that keeps me coming back. The workouts are customized which really fit for me, and the nutrition tips have helped me eat better too."

"I love that my nutrition plan is personalized to my DNA." It’s simple to follow and stick with, and I feel more lively and energized than ever. I’m finally seeing real and positive results! It was very helpful.

I wanted Alter One, but the price seemed high at first. Thankfully, I used the financing option at $99/month through Affirm, and it’s been totally worth it. The smart mirror keeps me on track, and I no longer pay for gym memberships I wasn’t using. Affordable and life-changing!

I love how Alter Anywhere fits into my daily routine. The app gives me quick, easy workouts that actually make a difference. I've lost twelve pounds so far and feel stronger without spending hours at the gym.

At 65, I wanted a low-impact, effective way to stay healthy. Alter Mirror has been perfect. The workouts are tailored to my fitness level, and the nutrition advice helps a lot. I’ve lost 12 lbs in three months. The customer support rep Ryan was very helpful in getting me set up. Recommend for seniors.

The instructors are fantastic, especially Erica. I've never been one for gyms, so the Alter Mirror seemed like a great alternative. The first few weeks were tough, but the personalized plans kept me motivated. Now, I look forward to my workouts, and I'm seeing real progress.

I was struggling with not seeing results I want with group fitness classes. Alter has been working for me because it's holistic -- fitness, recovery, stress and nutrition. Sometimes stress keeps you from losing weight. Now I know. Thanks Coach Mike!

I was admittedly hesitant to make sure an expensive purchase - especially from a new(ish) company, but I’m so glad I did. I'm so grateful to have access to this outstanding machine and coaching, all from the comfort of my own home. The system really replaces a personal trainer and a gym membership, so you have to keep that in mind to justify the cost. I love the workouts and finally understand what I should be eating and how much. I’ve had it in my house for 2 months and I’m down 17 lbs.

I have an exercise bike at home gathering that doubles as a clothes hanger, but Alter is the first plan/program that I've been able to stick to. I’ve lost 17 pounds and feel fantastic. The workouts are enjoyable and fit seamlessly into my schedule, and the personalized nutrition tips have been incredibly effective. If you're looking for an easy and insightful way to lose weight and understand your body better, Alter is the way to go.

I have had my Alter System for one month now (anniversary celebration is in order!). It's really been a godsend to me. My life is busy and complicated and I can't deal with finding time to work out. I will not go to gym anymore at my age. It's too much of a scene. But having this Alter gym in my house means I can work out easily on my schedule. I like that the classes and food recommendations are all science-based. It feels like they understand me and my body better than I even do. After all they analyzed my DNA and know me inside out haha. This is what sets alter apart.

I was a little skeptical about the fact that my DNA fitness report said I should be doing strength training when I have been doing cardio my entire life. Turns out, it was right. Adding strength training to my routine has helped me lose the last 10 pounds of baby weight I've been trying to shed for 12 months. Shout out to Coach Mike for helping me get there!

Using Alter has been a game-changer for my weight loss journey. I’ve lost 40 pounds thanks to the personalized plan based on my DNA, which taught me so much about my body’s unique needs. The workouts are fun, the diet advice is spot-on, and it’s all been surprisingly easy to stick with. If you want a simple, effective way to lose weight and learn about your body, I highly recommend Alter.

Having a plan that is built on my personal data and geared toward my goals has been a total game changer for me. I now have a program that keeps me accountable and is increasing my strength and getting me the body shape I want. Everything feels very intentional and efficient from my daily recommendation and readiness score to the session that I complete for the day whether it's working-out with cardio or strength or working-in and restoring my energy with a breath work or meditation session Alter has me covered.

First off I’ve always been husky my whole life. I’ve never really had washboard abs or the ability to really lose weight the way that other people have done it. At least that’s the way I watched it happen my whole life. On a whim I actually clicked on an ad from Alter on Insta and ended up buying a DNA kit test just for the DNA results. What I ended up doing with purchasing the entire system. It was a bit clunky at first, (my reason for the 4 stars), but since the software updates, and once I got in the groove it got way better.

Exactly what I needed! I spent the last 15 years running for my workouts. I started feeling worn and sore and had no idea why. My Alter DNA report taught me that my body responds best to Strength training, that I’m prone to Systemic Inflammation, and that my body holds on to stress and anxiety. For the past 6 months now, I’ve been using the Alter System and following my Alter plan, which is uniquely customized for what my body is saying. I’m already seeing dramatic physical transformations, the wear and tear is gone, I'm sleeping better, I'm eating what my body needs, and for the first time in my life, I’ve incorporated meditation and breathwork into my weekly activity. Alter has empowered me to take control and listen to my body and experience a quality of life that I never thought possible.

I've been using this DNA-based at-home fitness system lately, and it's been a total game-changer for my workout routine. On days when I'm not hitting the gym or doing hot yoga, it's perfect for keeping up with my mobility and strength training. What I really love is that it's all personalized to my genetic profile, so I know I'm doing the right stuff for my body. Plus, the real human coach is awesome! They give me personalized tips and keep me motivated. And an added bonus? My sleep has gotten way better and more consistent, which keeps me feeling balanced and ready to tackle each day. If you want something that keeps you on track with your workouts and helps you feel great overall, definitely give this a try.

I've been on a journey with Alter since January 2023, starting at 230 pounds and now proudly at 171. This journey of fitness, diet, and determination has reshaped not just my body but also my life. Seeing the sizes of my clothes change has been thrilling, and reaching a normal weight range from being obese feels like a massive victory for me. I never thought I'd be here. Alter has truly been instrumental in helping me achieve a healthier, more active lifestyle.
