BODi Review: Why I Quit… and Came Back 18 Months Later

This review reflects the transition from Beachbody On Demand to BODi and the latest platform updates.

BODi provides comprehensive at-home workout programs on it’s digiital platform along, aling with a complete line of nutrtional supplements, and workout equipment.

What used to be Beachbody On Demand is now BODi, but it’s more than just a name change. If you’re wondering whether BODi is worth it in 2026 with the new features, new programs, new nutrition, new promotions, then this post is for you.

My Own Personal Experience With BODi

I’ve had a BODi membership since 2015, minus a recent18-month break. I returned to BODi since they’ve gone back to more of the workout styles I like with their recent program releases and makeover.

And with 3-young children I need structure in my workouts. I need to be told what my workout is for the day, how long it will take, what equipemnet I need. I like a trainer to not only tell me proper wortkout form but to motivate me too.

You can see current BODi membership options here.

BODi online streaming workout programs didn’t completely change the way would I worked out in 2015. but it did make it whole lot easier.

Before the launch of BODi and the online streaming service the workout programs were on DVD(VHS tape before that) and all related workout materials were printed and mailed to you.

And now? Everything is digital – and new for 2026 some workout programs are available for individual digital purchase without membership, a nice new little feature.

What Results Can You Realistically Expect with BODi?

Above are some of the results I have gotten since 2015 with BODi programs. I’ve completed multiple full programs in the BODi library.

Some of the results photos are before I had children like the lower right one, which was my first program. Others were after children like the 645, #mbf and #mbf advanced, as well as the 9 Week Control Freak results.

I tried my best to follow the programs and nutrition plan while also replacing one meal a day with Shakeology(not really replacing but using as my breakfast shake). I only did the programs one time through to show what you can realistically expect from a single round of the program.

Disclaimer: Everyone’s results will vary depeding on genetics and effort.

Who BODi Works for & who I Don’t Recommend it To

Waz Ashayer the trainer behind the new P90X Generation Next said, BODi is literally for everyone and anyone. 

But in some cases I don’t believe that to be entirely true.

Quick Verdict: Is BODi for You

Yes, in my opinion BODi is worth it if you are going to use it. With how BODi structures there workout programs, there trainers, and the site there is a workout program no matter your experience level.

Now, lets get into what you will learn in this post and decide if the new BODi is right for you and your goals.

But First, What Is Beachbody, I Mean BODI?

Beachbody’s been a leader in at-home fitness since 1998, starting with programs like P90X and INSANITY. Now in 2026, Beachbody On Demand has fully transitioned to BODi.

What I found is that BODi is the by far the most comprehensive (and an affordable approach) to health and fitness for these reasons:

• You get access to nutrition guides to help you with meal planning and prepping.
• You receive program guides explaining how to get the most out of every workout program.
• You get a workout calendar to take the guesswork out of what workout you do each day. 
• With some programs, you get more than one schedule option to choose from based on your goals.
• You get weight tracker sheets if applicable
• You can track your progress (weight, measurements, workouts, and more)
• You have two nutrition plan options to choose from with new programs, plus hundreds of recipes.
• You get support in the BODi community if you choose, as well as the online FB groups they offer as a BODi member.

BODi gives you the full support you need to keep working out not just the how to’s.

BODi’s started the at-home fitness revolution with P90X before online workouts streaming became popular, and they have the results and the experience to back them up.

How BODi Workout Streaming Works

BODi allows you to work out from anywhere you have internet access. I’ve always loved this, because it gives you the opportunity to stay on track wherever you are.

I know I’ve worked out using BODi in at least seven different states, dozens of hotel rooms and Air BNBs, Disney World, outside on our deck with our son and German Shepherd, and even in our garage.

Trainers sometimes move on from BODi as they gain fame as a BODi trainer, which can be a bummer. However the programs they developed while working with BODi will remain on BODi. It only means they won’t be releasing any new programs for the site.

Sometimes trainers come and go, the good news is the workout programs they have done remain on BODi.

What Kind of Workouts Are On BODi?

BODi has a huge variety of workouts available, quite possibly the largest fitness selection of complete workout programs to choose from.

Whether you’re more into dance, want to increase your athleticism, increase mobility or feel like challenging yourself with an intense cardio workout, BODi has many workouts to choose from.

Here are the different kinds of BODi workouts offered:

Will BODi Help Me Lose Weight?

BODi will help you lose weight as long as you follow the program and the nutrition program. While you may not lose all your weight in one round of one program, there are so many to choose from that you shouldn’t get bored during your journey.

Every single BODi workout program is designed to hold you by the hand and take all the guesswork out of reaching your goals.

It’s important to note that workout results will vary by person and depend on a variety of factors like:

• How much weight you have to lose
• How dedicated you are to the program
• Genetics
• Age
• Gender

BODi Nutrition Plans

Portion control inspired meal on the left. 2B Mindset inspired meal on the right.

BODihas two nutrition programs to best fit your lifestyle and workout program: Portion Fix and 2B Mindset.

Portion Fix: This is a more structured approach with tracking sheets that lets you know exactly what to eat and how much to eat.

It’s all about healthy weight loss, switching up junk food for wholesome food, proper portion sizes, eating the proper macronutrients, and beating sugar addiction. It’s about changing your lifestyle for the better. There are lots of videos, recipes and meal plans your whole family can adopt.

2B Mindset: This is a more relaxed nutrition plan based on 4 principles you do daily to help you become more accountable. It teaches you how to make better decisions (water 1st, veggies most, track your food, and weigh yourself) plus the “plate it” method of measuring your food.

2B Mindset helps build self-control, create good habits, and teach you how to handle cravings. It is a sensible and sustainable approach. This isn’t my favorite of the two nutrition programs if you need serious help with your eating habits, but excellent for helping create a better relationship with food.

You also get access to hundreds of healthy recipes and meal plans. This means you won’t have to stress about eating healthy or planning your meals for the week.

The nutrition programs also give you customization options to best help you reach your particular health and fitness goals while doing whatever workout program you’re following.

Whether you’re looking to lose weight, maintain your weight, or gain weight (muscle). They even have specific nutrition for pregnant women and women who are breastfeeding.

The Biggest Benefits to BODi

The major benefit of having a BODi membership is the convenience of working out at home with a professional trainer vs the gym to keep you on track.

It’s not the same as a lot of other workout streaming platforms I’ve tried where they have a ton of classes to choose from with only a few real programs. They have the largest collection of complete programs by far – especially with all the program material.

Also, the trainers, overall, are more charismatic. I was bored with 85% of the instructors from other online streaming services. Plus, the workouts were just too boring for me. I don’t need fireworks and flashing lights, but I need something exciting enough that will keep my interest since working out is still not my favorite thing haha.

BODi workout programs are created with the purpose of getting you real results with the workouts, nutrition, and support. 

Here are some other benefits:

• You’ll save time and money not having to go to the gym. If you’re a busy mom like me, saving time in any way, shape or form is an amazing thing.
• You can work out on your own schedule, meaning you don’t have to wake up at the crack of dawn to get your workout in before work if that’s not your thing. And if during nap time or after work is better, you do you boo.
• You don’t have to wing it when it comes to your nutrition. There are 2 nutrition programs to choose from to customize to your personal goals and your workout program. Plus a ton of healthy recipes to inspire you and meal plans to follow.
• You have a community of thousands you can be a part of who are working on bettering themselves, too. They will back you up, help motivate you, and cheer you on.
• BODi is easy to use – and it gives you the option to pick up where you left off every time you sign on.
• You can stream BODi from multiple devices.
• You don’t need any fancy equipment.
• You can track your progress on BODi, including weight, measurements water, nutrition, workouts, and more.
• It literally comes with everything you need to keep on track like calendars, guides, and how-to videos.

Tracking Workouts & Progress with BODi

Besides new workout programs more like they used to make that’ve also added a few cool new freatures:

• Bike classes: If you’re into cycling, there are now spin classes available on BODi.
• Badges: You’ll earn a new badge for every workout program you complete. The only downside is it doesn’t include any previous workouts you’ve completed before badges were introduced.
• Improved Tracking: They’ve come a long way in tracking. You can track almost everything now, including how many containers you’ve eaten and your supplements.
• BODi groups: Now you don’t have to be active on social media – you can easily join a BODi group straight from the app.

What Equipment Do You Need for BODi?

There isn’t a specific list of equipment that you need to have for BODi workouts, because all the workout programs are all different.

Some programs require equipment, and a lot are body weight only – which means you don’t need any equipment.

Here’s what I would recommend to start working out from home:

• Dumbbells: choose light, medium, and heavy based on your strength level. Or a quality adjustable set like Selectech or Power Blocks.
• A mat: If you have hardwood flooring or similar, an exercise or yoga mat is a must-have for comfort on floor exercises. I know I have bony hips, and I die if I don’t have a mat under me for supine exercises. 

The equipment you  need is always program specific. Depending on what you already have or are willing to get, you can filter results beforehand or check the equipment requirements in the program details.

What Needs Improving with BODi in 2026

I personally wish they’d bring back specific nutrition guides for the workout programs.

While 2B Mindset and Portion Control are both great and can be applied to any program, there was just something about having a complete nutrition guide I could follow for “x” amount of days that I enjoyed. Plus the recipes that went with the program were usually themed for it, making it feel fully customized.

BODi Membership Options

Thankfully, there aren’t as many options offered when it comes to a BODi membership as there were before. It was honestly overwhelming.

You can choose to pay annually or monthly – that’s it.

New in 2026 for BODi Membership Options

1. If you love Shaun T, Autumn Calabrese workouts or the P90X series, there are membership options for these workout programs for just half the cost of a typical BODi monthly membership.
2. There is also a new dedicated 10-minute workout membership option called 10 MIN BODi but I don’t feel like this provides enough value and would recommend a regular membership that includes those workouts. 

Here’s a table showing the pricing breakdown for different BODi memberships:

Also NEW – You can purchase Digital Perpetual Licenses to Specific Programs

Also new in 2026: You are able to purchase life-time digital access to a specific program for a one-time purchase. It’s kind of like buying the old DVD single workout program, but it’s all online instead and yours to keep.

This is a great option if there’s one specific program you want access to.

How To Get Started With BODi

Once you’ve officially signed up for a BODi membership or free trial, I recommend thinking about your health and fitness goals.

Then you can click on the Programs tab, and it will show you your options to choose from like Most Popular, Weight Loss, Lean & Sculpted, Strength & Muscle, Cardio, Low Impact, and more depending on what your goal is.

This will help set you up for success in whatever program you choose.

And One Final Question Answered: Is BODi Really Free?

No, a BODi membership is not free. BODi does allow you to sign up for a free trial when first joining. At the time of writing this, the BODi annual membership comes with a 3-day free trial, and the monthly membership comes with a 7-day free trial. Why? I have no idea.

BODi’s full workout library is only available during their free trial period if you want to try them out before committing.

*All new memberships come with a 31-day money back guarantee. And so does most of there equipment and nutritional programs.
