Looking for the best in streaming home workouts?
In this post, I’ll be sharing my experience with both the Beachbody on Demand and the Daily Burn streaming workout membership sites. I don’t favor one site over the other (there are definite pros and cons with each), but hopefully this write-up can give you an overview of the services each workout site offers.
I personally have had the Beachbody on Demand service since its introduction in early 2015. I have been following Beachbody’s Yoga Booty Ballet pregnancy workout and Active Maternity workouts for the past four months.
When I saw an ad for the Beautiful Belly yoga maternity workout from Daily Burn, I decided to give the service a try, which is what led me to writing this review of Beachbody on Demand and Daily Burn.
Here is what we’ll cover:
- Quick View Video of Each Service
- History of the Two Companies
- A Rundown of the Workouts Offered
- Daily Workout Feature
- Which Devices You Can Stream Workouts to
- Physical Material Options
- Comparing the Communities
- Breaking Down the Costs

Quick View Videos of Each Service
Brief Overview of the Two Companies
Beachbody was founded in 1998. Their most famous program, P90X, was launched in 2002. Since P90X, the company has released a number of other at-home workout program hits such as Insanity, PiYo, 21 Day Fix, Focus T25, and Body Beast.
Daily Burn was founded in 2007, beginning as a health and nutrition tracking app that officially became the Daily Burn Tracker in 2011. In early 2016, Daily Burn 365 was introduced – a live streaming fitness show and workout.
So…who copied whom? Beachbody was around first, but did not offer streaming of their at-home workouts until 2015. Daily Burn hit the workout streaming market prior to the introduction of Beachbody on Demand (BOD for short.)
I always felt like there was some carryover between the workout themes and layouts of the two companies, so I was not too surprised to discover on Wikipedia that the producer of the Daily Burn 365 workouts also directed P90X, which definitely could contribute to that.
Each Offers Different Workout Programs
This section was last updated September 2016.

Beachbody On Demand Workouts Offered
Beachbody on Demand has 32 complete workout programs in their Member Library, which I have categorized by trainer for the most part. There are also exclusive workouts from trainers that I did not include below, plus a changing Challenge Du Jour workout each day. The Premium Content library is shared in the next section.
Shaun T Workouts

Autumn Calabrese Workouts

Additional Workouts

With some of the more recent programs, Beachbody On Demand has options for different languages selections. You can even have the option to lower or even mute the background music or trainers.
The Daily Burn 365 Daily Workout vs Beachbody Challenge Du Jour
You have access to independent programs with each service, but both also offer a unique way of bringing you a daily workout that changes each and every day.
The Daily Burn gimmick is a new live streaming workout brought to you 365 days a year at 9 a.m. Eastern time. You can also live chat with other members. Cons are it can be hard to learn what is coming next as you will never repeat the same workout and background extras are not always showing the best form. I’ve only seen body weight workouts so far. To me, it looks like someone is videotaping a live class at a local gym.
You do not get access to previously screened Daily Burn 365 workouts unless you subscribe to the archive for an additional $12/month. I will cover more of that when we compare costs of the two services a little bit further down.
Daily Burn 365 Daily Workout Example:
Sunday: Yoga Flow – flexibility, mobility, and recovery workout.
Monday: HIIT – high intensity interval training using bodyweight exercises
Tuesday: Kickboxing – cardio-themed workout.
Wednesday: General – cardio workout with all sorts of moves from different trainers.
Thursday: Total Body Workout – body weight based moves for the whole body.
Friday: Mini Circuit – bodyweight circuit training exercises and cardio.
Saturday: Tabata Workout – 20 seconds on with 10 seconds of rest with warm-up and cool down.
I like to explain the Daily Burn 365 workout to people as getting access to someone who is live streaming an in-studio fitness class. I never had problems with streaming, but once in a while, you do see people in the chat screen complaining about buffering and needing to refresh their browsers.
Beachbody On Demand also has a changing daily workout called the Challenge Du Jour. It is a handpicked workout from Beachbody trainers. You get a different trainer and different workout daily from their lineup of programs. Think of it as hybrid schedule combining nearly all Beachbody workout programs.
Unlike Daily Burn, there is no chat feature built into the Challenge Du Jour. I personally turn it off on Daily Burn anyways, since I am there to workout not necessarily chat. While Beachbody does not offer a live chat built-in, they do promote hash tagging your daily workout with #cdj to connect with people. I do think the text reminder of the Challenge Du Jour is a pretty neat feature.
Beachbody On Demand Challenge Du Jour Example:
Sunday: Focus T25 Rip’t Circuit – 25 minute circuit workout with resistance.
Monday: 21 Day Fix Extreme Plyo Fix – a cardio plyometric based workout.
Tuesday: P90X2 Shoulders + Arms – upper body strength-building workout with resistance.
Wednesday: Core & Cardio – P90X live-inspired workout.
Thursday: Body Beast Build Legs – weight training for the legs.
Friday: 22 Minute Hard Crops Cardio 3 – 22-minute cardio workout.
Saturday: Autumn Calabrese Exclusive workout Kill Cupcake – ab workout.
As you can see, the Beachbody On Demand “daily workout” plan is very well planned. You pretty much do a resistance workout followed by a cardio workout the next day, then more of a recovery or ab-focused workout on the third before the cycle repeats. The plan also takes into a account what body parts and types of training you do, so you never train the same way two days in a row.
You would need fundamental exercise equipment like dumbbells or a resistance band and bench or stability ball for Beachbody Challenge Du Jour workouts to get the most out of them.
Who Streams to More Devices
This is a hard section to write because both services, especially Beachbody on Demand, are constantly being updated (Apple Watch was added as I write this). At this time in September 2016, here are the devices for each site.
Daily Burn Streams on:
Apple TV, ROKU, Amazon FireTV, Google Chromecast, iPad, Android Tablet, Amazon Fire, iPhone, iPod, Android devices, web browser.
Beachbody on Demand can be Streamed on:
Amazon Fire Stick, Amazon FireTV, Amazon Fire, ROKU, Google Chromecast, Apple TV, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, web browser (there is no android app, but you can use the web browser on most smartphones).
Physical DVDs and Materials
One of the Daily Burn slogans is “say goodbye to DVDs”. This means you cannot get any of the Daily Burn workouts on DVD or get the physical copy of workout calendars, diets, or materials – which for some reason, I still like to have a physical copy of.
Beachbody still allows you to buy the physical DVDs and program materials for most programs. There are some workouts that are Beachbody on Demand exclusives that you cannot get a physical copy of, but for about 95% of the programs, you can still order on DVD.
For new program releases, Beachbody will give you the option for digital only version at a discounted price, but you can still order the standard program with printed materials shipped to your home.
The Community Effect
While both services are mainly to bring workouts straight into your home, each platform has worked hard to build communities that you can go to for extra support and motivation with like-minded people. Something that is very important to your overall success.
Both Daily Burn and Beachbody offer coaching services
Daily Burn calls their coaching service from REAL coaches, which is offered through a third party app called Vita. The cost is an extra $40 per month and gets you one-on-one virtual guidance. You can choose your own coach, get feedback from your coach at anytime, and you also get access to track exercise, nutrition, weight and more with Vita.
Beachbody’s version of coaching is everyone gets access to a free coach, but Beachbody coaches do not have to have any real qualifications or special knowledge. Beachbody coaches are there mostly for support and motivation through the programs (most have done or do programs). In my experience, some coaches will provide more support than others, but if you do not gel with your coach or find them MIA, you can always ask to change coaches.
Tracking Results
On Daily Burn, you can track your age and weight from your profile. When starting a new workout calendar, you can set a date to start, and a workout will then appear for that day. If you miss a workout, there is no option to push the workout back one day, which can get confusing since you will have to mentally note what day you’re on.
With Beachbody On Demand, you also get access to the SuperGym were you can log your workouts and track the program schedule. It is more intuitive and has options to edit workouts. You can also add progress photos, measurements and create an entire profile. You can even your own blog if you want to.
Both sites have a forum area for community discussion. At the time of writing this, the Daily Burn forum is a is new and not very active. Beachbody forums are very active, but there is a lot of people trying to offer their coaching services, which can make it a little ad heavy – and sometimes a little overbearing.
When it Comes Down to Cost
Both sites offer a free 30-day trial to the streaming workout service. Neither company will charge your credit card until the end of the trial. Making both no-risk.
Daily Burn Costs
When getting started with Daily Burn, there are not really any pricing options that can easily be found. You start with the free 30-day trial, and then can continue with the base service for $14.95, but can upgrade to more services.
Daily Burn has these 4 tiers if you wish to continue your service – all are billed month-to-month.
Monthly Workout – cost $14.95. This gets you unlimited access to Daily 365 Workout, nutrition and recipe content, workout apps, and workout programs we discussed above.
Monthly All Workout Access – cost $24.95. You get everything that is included in the Monthly Workout service, plus unlimited access to Daily Burn “Best of 365” workouts.
Monthly Premium – cost $52.95. Includes everything that is included in the Monthly Workout package plus 1-on-1 personal coach accessible through the Vita mobile app and personalized guidance to reach your goals.
Monthly All Workout Access Plus Coaching – cost $64.95. Gets you everything from the above three offers.
To my knowledge, you must first start with the free 30-day trial to the “monthly workout”, and then you may upgrade your account to one of the premium offers. Just be aware of what you are getting with the premium access, since I found it a little confusing that the services don’t stack in order, but you get access to different features.
Here is the Link to the Trial of Daily Burn
Beachbody On Demand Costs
Beachbody On Demand also offers a trial but is only a 14-day free trial where your credit card will not be charged unless you opt to continue the service.
There are no different access levels with Beachbody On Demand, however, you do get more billing options that can result in savings.
Just a brief recap of what you get with Beachbody On Demand: unlimited 24/7 access to all the programs we mentioned above, workout calendars, nutrition guides, and all program documents in pdf format.
Beachbody On Demand Payment Options:
Option 1: 3-Month – No payment required during the 14-day trial, then billed at $38.87 each quarter starting after your 14-day trial. This works out to $12.96 per month and can be canceled anytime.
Option 2: 6-Month – A $59.00 payment gets you 6 months of Beachbody On Demand services. You pay on the date of activation, and if you do not wish to continue the service, you have a 30-day money back guarantee period. Works out to be a 23% savings or $9.99 month.
Option 3: 12-Month – At $99.00 paid upon activation fee, This year long membership is the most expensive up front, but equals a 35% savings or just $8.33 per month. You still have the 30-day money back guarantee.
Here is the Link to the Beachbody On Demand Offers
Beachbody On Demand is part of the Team Beachbody Club membership, which also includes customizable meal planner, Q & A with trainers, coaching, message boards, as well as access to the SuperGym to track your workouts and your progress.
Over the course of a year, this is how much each service could cost:
For a year of Daily Burn Monthly Workout, you would pay $179.40. With Beachbody On Demand 12-Month payment option, you would pay $99.00 for the year and access all content.
Cancelling Accounts
Canceling looks to be easy on both platforms (I have not canceled on either.)
To cancel your Daily Burn, you simply go into your account profile at the bottom left of the screen and select>Account Settings>Manage Subscription>scroll down to View Your Options>then you have a form you can fill out and continue the process (this is as far as I went, since I did no really want to cancel!)
Beachbody On Demand service can be canceled by calling Beachbody customer support. From what I’ve heard, all you need is your order#, and the process is hassle-free.
My Final Thoughts
Personally, I just can’t get into the Daily Burn live 365 daily workout. It always feels too much like an aerobic fitness class to me. It does have a couple of unique programs like Yoga Maternity and DBK (kettlebells). The mobility and recovery workouts are also very good, which is an often overlooked area of fitness that Daily Burn really nails.
Beachbody On Demand breaks it down into easy-to-follow workout programs with calendars, nutrition books, and community. It is not rocket science, but motivation, getting started and keeping going is what it takes to be successful in the long run, which is where I really think Beachbody shines – it’s simple to understand, easy to follow, and motivational.
I tried to make this comparison of Daily Burn and Beachbody On Demand streaming services as thorough as possible, but if you have a question about either service, please leave a comment below and I will try my best to answer it for you – or if you have experience with either, please share.
I’m between live to fail from daily burn and body beast from Beachbody for bodybuilding 😰😰
Just my opinion. I would recommend Body Beast of you are looking to bulk more. LFT if you are looking to bulk and then drop weight. Body Beast also has a couple different training schedules depending upon your goals. Both are really good programs, can’t go wrong with either or do one then the other.
Love this, thank you! I am moving from a mostly sedentary existence to trying one of these programs. For a beginner, which would you say has more beginner options?
Hi Andrea, They both have a really good selection of beginner workouts. Beachbody On Demand has been updated to allow for selecting a program based on fitness level too.
This is a great comparison of Daily Burn vs Beachbody on Demand. I’ve tried both programs and ultimately decided to use Beachbody on Demand. I love the huge variety of workouts, workout calendars, and meal plans. Plus the cost is so affordable.
Thanks so much for your review. We just completed Insanity and were looking for our next step. My husband and I both use the program so $50 a year for each of us is a great deal if we split the cost of the beach body on demand!
You’re welcome!
Hi! Great overview! I’ve been doing Daily Burn for over a year now, mostly Black Fire, the Inferno Series and WTF – they’re excellent! However, as I’ve been a long time follower of Shaunt T and the Insanity series, I’m inclined to switch to Beachbody for a change, as I’ve practically memorized the DB workouts. Hope it’s a great experience… I just really get annoyed with Tony Horton, that dude is too much. I think if I avoid his workouts, I can enjoy what BB has to offer.
Beachbody On Demand has been updated a lot since I wrote this review. I’ve tried my best to keep this post updated but it has been hard with the continued updates to the platform. I can say with one of the recent updates you can now search the site by trainer which helps when you like or don’t like one of the trainers. Bethany
I’m getting frequent ads from body boss. are you familiar with that program? comparable? worth a try?
Hi Patti, I took a quick look. It does not look like it’s a workout video streaming site or a workout video site in general, just looks to be a downloadable workout and some guides in pdf. Bethany
This is a great review. Thorough and indepth. Very helpful.
Glad you liked it!
When it comes to long term sticking with a program which do you think is best? I like Beachbody but I get bored really fast and easy when it comes to working out. I thought about trying daily burn for a change of pace
Hi Ty, I don’t think it matters. Just have to find a program and trainer that motivates you. You could always go between the two too. I always seem to struggle in the last week of programs that I follow, but I just remind myself it almost over and the results will be worth it. Bethany
So I have a Wii with the Hulu App. Would Daily Burn and BOD work through that??
Hi Erica, I think Hulu is for streaming television shows and movies. A web based browser would be a better option if that is possible. Bethany
I travel a lot internationally, and would use either platform while on the road. I am looking for one of these platforms as a compliment to the gym while I am traveling. Does BOD or DB allow international access?
Hi Sue, I believe they both would allow you international access. I know more than a handful of military who are based overseas that use BOD without any issues. To join you would have an address in a country that they serve. Bethany
Thank you so much for the information also for all the details, the information really gives me a motivation on getting one of the apps..
Thanks for the time and the information
Best regards
Ale
You’re welcome. I’ve been trying my best to keep the post updated too! Bethany
Hi Bethany! Thanks a lot for the overview! And sorry for the late comment. I had Daily Burn, but didn’t like how so many of the home workouts needed dumbbell sets, kettle bells, etc. I like working out at home, but don’t have much equipment. I prefer ones I can do w/o equipment and just a 8×8 space for working out. Would Beach Body on demand be a better solution?
Hi Derek, Off the top of my head Daily Burn has the Tactical Bodyweight Training(tbt) and a couple of dance themed workouts. Beachbody On Demand has the Insanity series of workouts, many dance themed workouts, and PiYo. Beachbody probably does offer more workouts that require minimum equipment like a resistance band. Hope this helps, Bethany
Ty for your comparison I personally think dailyburn should offer a yearly package. There rates seem to be high. I am looking for workouts where I can target a specific body part or a body work. Not p90x. Do you know if beachbody offers that?
Thanks Lisa
Hi Lisa, From Beachbody there is Body Beast, a weight training workout that works either 1 or 2 bodyparts per workout. P90X One-On-One workouts also contain many body part specific workouts. Bethany
Hi Bethany. Do you know which of both has more subscribers/members?
Great work. Thanks!
Hi Alfredo, Not sure. I had seen 1500 plus working out on Beachbody On Demand at a time once. Bethany
I thought I would try daily burn as I was going back to Insanity Max 30 over and over again as the calorie burn is the highest for the least amount of time and on the Facebook feed the daily burn Inferno looked to be a bit harder unfortunately my hr is so much lower with Inferno and I am doubling my time for the same amount of calories I have no idea how they are clocking 700 calories. I am testing on Polar and Fitbit and averaging 280 calories on Inferno HR and it takes about 50 minutes. I will trial the other workouts but I am itching to get back to BOD after a few days. i have done the dance workout which was really cringy nothing like as good as cize and the yoga on Daily is not as good as the Yoga retreat. I guess it’s all horses for courses but so far I think I will be cancelling after the 30 days
Hi Samantha, Thanks for sharing your experience! Bethany
Thank you for putting together this review. I’ve been loving BeachBody On Demand but wanted to check to see if Dailyburn was any good in comparison – based on your write-up, looks like I’ll do well to stick with what I have.
Hi Sam, You’re welcome! With the trial it can’t hurt to try it either, but yes even from the comments it seems people go more in the BOD direction. Bethany
I have tried daily burn on demand in my Roku, by the time I wake up and ready to start a workout, the live streaming video is already 15 minutes in. If I try the previous days workout of the 365 videos, or even a different video, everyday at 6:45am it will automatically kick me out of whatever video I might be working out to. I’m assuming that is when the live streaming video has ended but it’s super frustrating! I’m constantly having to go back into the video and fast forward to where I got kicked out. Thank you for writing this review, I will be switching over to Beachbody.
Hi Cecilia, Thanks for sharing. Sounds like some type of bug in the system for sure. Glad you found the post helpful. Bethany
does Beachbody build a personalized work out plan for you or do you just pick whatever you feel like doing that day?
Hi Becky, There are workout schedules for each program to follow. There is also hybrid schedules that combine two or more programs. And, finally there is the Challenge Du Jour which is a different daily workout from any of the programs. Bethany
I became a BB Coach because of the amazing support and motivation from the community. I’ve been seeing commercials endlessly for daily burn on Hulu, so I wanted to see how the two compared! Beachbody definitely come out on top especially with their new one year all access plan! Just to add to your awesome overview, you get access to ALL Beachbody programs including any new releases that are released in the year of your membership! I love being able to follow the programs or having the choice to change it up! Great overview! Great job!
Yes, The All Access Pass promotion is really goood. Just remember that it only runs through
February 28th(the offer has been extended for the foreseeable future), the link is in the post above. BethanyBethany, I’m a beachbody coach, and wanted you to know that beachbody decided to extend the All Access Pass promotion indefinitely!!!
THanks Jen! I have updated my comment, Bethany
Thank you for the review on the sites. I signed up for the Beachbody site free trial a couple weeks ago and I do like it quite a bit. One thing I do wish is that you could set favorites for certain workouts. Sometimes I go through the site on my laptop to see what I want to do beforehand, then when fire up my Roku I know exactly where I want to go. Building a play list would be nice – unless it’s there and I’ve missed it.
Hi LeeAnne, That is an awesome idea. Since BOD is still in quote beta trial, hopefully that is something that they will consider adding to enhance the functionality. Bethany
Thank you very much for posting this. I am a DB365 subscriber now, but thinking of switching to BB. DB is fine, but some of the trainers (I’ll withhold their names) have vulgar, nasty polarizing instagram accounts. After reading some, it is no fun to do their workouts. Having said that, I really love a few of the trainers (Prince, Gregg and Dara) so I just stick to those workouts when I see them on. I may end up trying BB soon. Either way, this was an interesting read.
Hi John, You’re welcome. And, sorry to hear that about that. I had the same experience when searching for a photographer, needless to say I went with someone else. Bethany
Thank you for this review! Do any of them have decent music or should I just tune there’s out and play my own? I’d love to hear top 40 or music than is non…I don’t know how to describe typical video music heard on these programs.
Hi Kate, With copyright issues I think if you want a top 40 list you are going have to play it yourself. With Beachbody On Demand you can disable background music on some of the workouts which is nice feature to have when you want to still be able to hear the trainers while playing your own music. Bethany
I didn’t even know that the Daily Burn offered all of those workouts and different options with their streaming services. Seems like they offer quite a bit! I had no idea that Beachbody now offers their ENTIRE library for the $99 for a years! That is such an excellent deal! I remember paying like $120 for the Insanity workout program about 6 years ago and now you can get that program plus everything else that Beachbody has ever made for less than that? Fantastic! Thanks for the detailed breakdown of all of information on both these services. You break it down wonderfully and can see from your info that Beachbody On Demand is the better deal.
HI Izzy, Thanks for the comment! Beachbody On Demand is a good deal, but the daily streaming with Daily Burn is also pretty good if you like the studio type of workouts. The $99 All-Access Pass for Beachbody runs through the end of February, just fyi for everyone. Bethany
Can I use BOD more than once per day?
Hi Candyce, Yes, you get unlimited access to the workouts and materials. Bethany
Excellent comparison! Just what I was looking for. Thank you!
You’re welcome! Glad it helped. Bethany
Was referred to Beachbody by a friend but was trying to decide if it was the best choice. Thank you for the review. I will join Beachbody soon.
You’re welcome! I’m glad you found the post helpful. Bethany
Great overview! Thank you for taking the time to put this together!
You’re welcome!
