Read full reviewWhat is Beachbody?
Beachbody’s weight loss programs motivate and encourage you to follow through with your health and fitness goals. One of Beachbody’s benefits is the emphasis on its community, which provides participants with an active support system. Another highlight is the Beachbody app. Through the app, users have easy access to workouts, meal plans and fitness tracking tools.
How does Beachbody work?
Beachbody offers a variety of products and services, but all of them share the same goal: to make weight loss easier. Participants sign up with a Beachbody coach who guides them through their weight loss journey. These coaches help them choose a program and find products that give them the results they want.
The Beachbody diet program is one of the company’s more popular services. Although there is no specific scientific study backing the program, the company based this diet on common weight loss principles. For instance, the 21 Day Fix eliminates added sugar and refined carbohydrates, which are known to contribute to weight gain.
Beachbody programs
There are several Beachbody programs. Each one has different benefits, such as workout videos and Beachbody meal plans.
- 21 Day Fix: This weight loss program allows you to lose as many as 15 pounds in three weeks. The plan comes with workout DVDs and meal plan recipes that control your portions. The program typically costs around $70, but the price varies depending on the exact products you purchase.
- Beachbody on Demand: Beachbody on Demand is a streaming service that gives you immediate access to the company’s meal and fitness programs along with support from a Beachbody coach. With this service, you can stream content anywhere with an internet connection. Subscribers also receive workout calendars and weight loss tracking tools. The service costs $99 a year, but there are short-term options available.
- 2B Mindset: Beachbody’s 2B Mindset program focuses on helping you lose weight by showing you what you can eat instead of what you can't. The program comes with a 30-day meal plan, video recipes, recipe books and coaching to help you accomplish your goal. The starting cost for the 2B Mindset is $119.
- Ultimate Portion Fix: This program expands the 21 Day Fix into 30 days and recommends Beachbody’s Shakeology products, fruits and vegetables. Like the 21 Day Fix, this program has you use containers to measure out your portions. Costs start at $74, and buyers get access to cooking videos, resources and the Beachbody community.
- The Monthly Fix: While the Ultimate Portion Fix comes with 30 days of meal plans and support, the Monthly Fix takes things one step further. After you purchase the Ultimate Portion Fix, you can pay $19.95 a month to get 24/7 access to The Monthly Fix. This gives you FIXATE recipes, meal plans, check-ins and ongoing support from the community. Billing is automatic every month until you cancel.
- Beachbody Ultimate Reset: Beachbody Ultimate Reset is a 21-day cleanse that eliminates bad foods and toxins from your diet. The base kit costs $199.95, which includes supplements designed to cleanse your body, a three-part nutrition plan and fitness tips.

I saw the previews for INSANITY, and that was my first program that I started with. And then, I saw Beachbody On Demand recently, so I tried the other programs and I like it. Right now, I'm on my fifth program. I'm doing Transform :20. I like to complete the whole program then try a new one, but I like how you can bounce back and forth if you want, to do a three-day session workout or do a Transform :20. I'm very satisfied with the results. My health is so much better. I used to be an avid runner but I haven't had as much time, so I just do the Beachbody program and it works really good.
Hi Alex,
Congratulations on the completion of some of our more challenging programs! That truly is an accomplishment and you should be proud of yourself. Thank you for taking a moment and letting us know of your success with our programs and the achievement of greater health.

My parents used the Beachbody program growing up, and I use it now. It has proven results and I've seen it work. I use Beachbody On Demand and I really like it. I did CIZE and lost 5 pounds, and I've lost 5 pounds from another program too.
Hi Kelsey,
We are ecstatic to see that you are following in your parents footsteps and have lost 10 pounds from crushing CIZE and other Beachbody workoutds. That is great news and we see that you are keeping up the great work and have already started on a new program. Thank you for being apart of the Beachbody community and we look forward to hearing more about your success in the future.

Beachbody renews your subscription automatically annually and will claim to have sent you a reminder email along with claiming you read the email but in reality they do not send this reminder, and refuse to send proof of the notification and read receipt. If you try to cancel as a result of this surprise renewal, they refuse to refund your money and will use their auto renewal policy as their defense, even if it's the same day of the renewal. The only way of knowing of the renewal will be your credit card statement. NYS Law Chapter 20 Article 29-BB states a business shall notify a consumer of auto annual renewals 15-45 days of the renewal date and Beachbody does not do this. Look up this law in your state and be sure you don't leave your credit card with this company. There are hundreds of this complaint on this site and the Better Business Bureau website. Hopefully this will catch up with them one day.

Stay far far away. These people will overcharge you and refuse refund even after cancellation. Their products are terrible and all you are paying for is someone to tell you to do the same exercises you can look up and do on your own. Don’t waste your money!!

I had the same problem with the auto-renew. I could swear I canceled my BODi subscription but they say I didn't. Tried to get money back less than 10 days into it. They refuse. Beachbody: instead of your lame canned response to everyone on here, how about reviewing and changing your unethical, poor business policy? Actually show you care about your customers, who are not robots and keep track of every "box checked" in every online payment. You lost another lifelong customer.

My account was set to auto renew on September 16, 2024. On September 16, the very day it was set to auto renew. I went on the website and also called to cancel the auto renew. They would not allow me to cancel and insisted on charging me $178 because I was three hours late from the cut off. I’m unemployed and have no money. These people are crooks.

I went online to manage my BODi-On-Demand and cancel services. For some reason it did not get cancelled. When I got my bank statement and noticed it had been renewed automatically I called them. They said it has a 30 day refund policy. It was 2 days past. Only because I didn’t know it was renewed till I received my statement. I appealed the decision. After the appeal they still refused to give me a refund. I cannot and will not support this company anymore and if you have your cc on file with them I would remove it immediately.

Terrible customer service and overall should not be renewing people's membership the way they are. It’s a clear problem, hints the over rating of 1 star for this company, I am surprised there isn’t a lawsuit against these people.

I had a subscription to BODi for a couple of years, bought Shakeology, and several other products. I recently canceled my subscription way before my yearly renewal. They renewed my subscription anyways. I contacted customer service who told me I had to fill out a request for my money to be refunded. I did that and the results came in. Support reminded me of the boxes I checked, refused to refund me, and then said not to contact customer service because they couldn’t help me. They deducted $195 from my account and was very rude about it. Very poor customer service. They advertise that you can cancel anytime but that cancellation is not always full proof.

I should have read these reviews. I would never had signed up for this product. Today 8.15. I noticed my debit card was charged $179. My membership would have expired today 8.15 I haven't used my membership for over 1 year. Between my bad knee and my Mom's death I was not in the mental frame of mind to use the product.
I called customer service 8.15, I was trying to explain to the rep I wanted a refund for my cancellation. She was talking over me, I could barely speak. I told her I didn't appreciate the way she was talking over me. I asked to speak to a Supervisor and she told me she was part of the escalation team and I could not speak to anyone else. She told me to fill out the form online explaining reading for cancellation which I did. Later today I received a response stating I was not entitled to a refund. Email stated they sent me an cancellation email in July. Check my email and I never received the email she was referring to. This is such a shady company. I will NEVER refer this company to anyone!!

I have been a Beachbody (BODI) member for several years. In November of 2023, I cancelled my subscription. The agent that I spoke to at the time said that my access would be deleted immediately, but there would be no refund and I would have to pay for the remainder of my subscription, which didn't end until August 2024. He then said he could re-instate my account, but would remove me from auto-renewal. It's now August of 2024, and surprise, surprise, BODI auto-renewed my account. I never received an email stating that this would happen.
I've read enough reviews to see that this is not a standard auto-renewal letter sent from BODI. I never received the letter and I never read it, though BODI's bots will respond saying that you did. I called an agent a few days ago to tell them of the situation and she told me to fill out an exception form and that she had notes in my account from my previous cancellation and it would be no problem to get my refund. To no one's surprise, BODI rejected my exemption. Their business practices are unethical and illegal. In addition, you are unable to delete your account and unlink your credit card information, which is how they continue to auto-renew your account. I will be pursuing legal action and I encourage others to do the same.
