Thebodycoach Avis 160

Just started using the app. Quite confusing when trying to set up an exercise plan that suits me. Keeps pushing HIIT sessions when I set my profile up differently so have to search around the app for alternatives. Not expensive so will stick with it.

The app seems to work ok but the programme isn’t great unless you are interested in doing everything on your phone and eating bland food. It’s not particularly motivating and isn’t a personalised experience. The vegan menu is not great.
It didn’t work at all for me so I hardly used it.

Great app if you are looking for good workouts that you can do from home with very minimum equipment needed, just dumbbells & maybe a kettlebell once you get further in on the plan. The food is absolutely delicious you get to cook with oils & fats (non of that frylight rubbish) plus full fat yoghurts & plenty of protein. Don’t expect things to change overnight this is a long term plan & do not get hung up on the number the scales say as you build muscle on this plan while losing the fat so the number might not change that much but the way your clothes feel & the leaner you look will give you all the confidence you need. I would also highly recommend taking photos of yourself before starting & doing the measurements when prompted as you will definitely see the progress when comparing them further down the line. I would recommend to anyone who really needs to make a serious change to their lifestyle & relationship with food. Good luck!

Really enjoying the workouts. The meals are good. I have never really been inspired by workouts before and was sceptical before trying, but am happily surprised by how much I am feeling the benefits already (cycle one) and don't feel patronised or overwhelmed by Joe's style.

Not tailored to the individual at all. Everyone gets the same workouts regardless of ability age weight etc.
I am 70 and found that his exercises for seniors free on the internet were far more suitable than these which I have paid £60 for!!
I paid for my subscription upfront and started the plan on that first day. Because of my age I used the easier approach he gives for each exercise but since then have gone back to Joe’s free ones, much more effective and more relevant. I sent an email to the Support team but they replied saying well at least I still have the recipes …yes but at £60!!
Clearly a substantial number of people have made a similar complaint. Legally the service does not match the description.
Hope Joe reads these emails and improves the app, he has the knowledge.

So i took out this plan thinking it would be tailor made but it clearly isnt! I paid for my subscription upfront and started the plan i got on that first day and since then have spent months trying to reaccess the system so basically I feel like I have wasted my money as i have not got any further than day 1. I have sent numerous emails and spent days trying to regain access to the app and wasted time trying to get hold of some one and to get someone to speak with l me. I also needed a plan tailored to my injuries. The first plan was tailored to the american market and half the ingredients are not available in the UK which is frustrating to. But without being able to speak with anyone i just feel frustrated.

I absolutely loved Jo during lockdown and decided to join the app a year ago because I wanted different workouts and more variety, and not just the free you tube ones

My review unfortunately is to do with the app now not working on my device and I have not been able to get hold of the support people. I messaged initially (2 day wait to get back to me) and because I didn’t reply straight away (was away half term I am a teacher) they closed the ticket and haven’t responded to any of my other messages.

My subscription is still valid for the rest of the month however not much use to me as I can’t use it because can’t log on and no one has emailed/called or replied to the thread to try and solve/answer my query.

Such a shame as I very much doubt I will now renew this as I am quite frankly shocked and disappointed.

I absolutely love Jo and all he stands for, however I am not impressed by the fact that with an app of this nature, size and growing popularity, that there isn’t much more dedication to customer queries/issues.

I paid for my subscription upfront didn’t quibble assumed it was the best way forward had I known I would not have done so because I feel like I have wasted money and time trying to access the app and also time trying to get a human to contact me to help me. This isn’t easy working as a teacher and having young children to deal with, it is physically impossible for me to be sitting of the app all day waiting for a reply.

Very poor.

I like the fact that I can fit in a workout 4/5 times a weeks without having to drive anywhere. I like the fact that Joe concentrates on getting the basics right - good technique, not going too fast. He is relatable and sincere without too much chat which is just right. I actually don’t look at the meal part which is probably daft. Might try some as they look good but I can work towards that. The main thing for me is that I’m getting my heart rate up regularly and I definitely feel and look more toned. It’s all about managing expectations!

This plan changed my life!! 2 years following Joe and I wouldn’t change a thing… best money I’ve ever spent!

Can’t fault this programme or the App. It’s simple to use and easy to follow. The workouts get the blood (and sweat) pumping and I always feel like Joe has personally trained me. Combined with the food plans it’s completely changed my relationship with activity and eating healthier…it gets a 10/10 from me!

I did Joe’s YouTube videos long before PE with Joe, I had the Lean in 15 book too. I decided, early lockdown #1 to sign up to the 90 day plan, then the app. The trainers are great, Joe is more than great. The workouts are great fun and so positive and I love that the trainers are working out right alongside you so you can copy the movements and adjust your form. My gym trainers stand about but the Bodycoach folk are right there with you, rep for rep. The online community is fabulous too, for support, recipe ideas and tweaks such as pancakes cooked in a waffle iron.

The recipes are amazing, even my significant other, as he calls himself, loves the meals. He is quite taken aback at how much food I eat and stay in shape.

Joe is so honest, doesn’t swear every other sentence and there is humour in the workouts, he is so natural. I sometimes workout with a friend and her grandchildren join in to ‘Mr Joe’, I don’t need to worry about profanity in the workout when they are present. It doesn’t bother me but I hear enough at work. The addition of new coaches is a welcome addition, especially Leroy who is Mr Positivity and who finishes workouts with offering up a bit of self belief.

I have successfully weaned myself off the scales and only use them at check-in time. I worry not a jot about the numbers on there. I am fit, strong, flexible and will continue to renew the app until I can’t lift a dumbbell any longer.

Love this app. It’s such a great guide with new workouts and food every 4 weeks. They do new live work outs as well as your plan workouts! Very uplifting and supportive! It’s not a “quick fix” it’s a lifestyle plan! I’ve been on it since Jan 2021 and I live it!

This guy and his plan are honestly my saviours! Not only is the plan cheap and affordable, the exercise lengths perfect (btwn 25-45mins) but the food is insanely good and you don’t feel like you’re on a diet! After struggling with my weight and also keeping the weight off for over 30 years; ive finally found a plan that has (at last) helped me shift over 3 stone and keep it off! Thank you thank you thank you!

Love the food and work outs, it’s cheap too for what you get compared to other sites

I started doing Joe Wicks videos before lockdown then took on PE with Joe.
I really love exercising regularly, but had gotten through all the free workouts and felt that I needed to add food into the balance too.
For this the body coach app is brilliant. I had to wait till the end of last year for the app to come to android, but I started at the offer price of £59.99 which I think is a bargain for a whole year of new workouts and meal plans. The workouts are great, plus there's the tailored food plan, live content and you get access to loads of older live workouts too.

I have lost weight, toned up and feel much more positive since signing up to the plan.

Joe and team are great, i have been an on and off BC'er for a few years (when i start to see things going the wrong way i come back to the structure of the plan to get me back on track) They have put together a realistic and achievable plan that will get results. There is food for taste and workouts start an an achievable level and progress at a nice rate to build you up. The Support heros are always on hand quickly if you need them.

I love the app. Great recipes and workouts.
I love the fact you take pictures and measurement and it's not about weight.
I'm currently on month 3 and feel better in myself, loads more energy and seeing results in my photos and measurement.
They is also a great private Facebook page community you can join once you have the app, with lots of helpful and supportive people

Joined a year ago although I love most of the meals my own mind set doesn’t allow me to use them all. However it has taught me portion control and to try new things. I’d say give it a shot. The workouts are amazing.

First yeah 89.99 then you get a loyalty offer fo 49.99 for the year which is a bargain a lot do people say there’s free exercises on YouTube there is but this is so much more structured which is the key for success. Go on try it.

A year using the app and both my mind and body have transformed - has made me stronger in so many ways.

Brilliant app, easy to plan meals, lots of recipes, workouts, badges after completing badges. Photos and recording stats is really motivational
