Losing weight often comes down to building consistent habits around exercise, nutrition and daily activity. The BetterMe Fitness App combines these areas into one digital wellness platform, offering home workouts, meal plans, health tracking, fitness challenges and optional one-on-one coaching.
Founded in Ukraine in 2017, BetterMe has developed into a global wellness platform powered in part by artificial intelligence. Its programs are designed for different fitness levels and lifestyles, making the app an accessible option for people who prefer exercising at home.
What Does BetterMe Offer?
BetterMe provides a broad selection of workout programs, including Pilates, walking, running, barre, calisthenics, chair yoga and senior-focused workouts. Many basic workout collections can be accessed without a paid membership, while certain guided challenges require an additional fee.
The platform also offers meal plans for several eating styles, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, lactose-free, keto, paleo and pescatarian diets. Plans include recipes, ingredient lists, preparation instructions and nutritional information.
For users seeking additional accountability, BetterMe offers one-on-one guided coaching with daily workout and nutrition support.
How Does BetterMe Weight Loss Work?
Getting started involves completing a detailed questionnaire covering areas such as weight goals, nutrition preferences, activity levels, workout schedules, sleep and lifestyle. BetterMe then uses the information to recommend programs suited to the user’s responses.
The app can also track metrics such as weight, steps, calories, water intake, sleep and workout time. Its AI-powered food logging feature allows users to record meals using photos or barcodes, although its accuracy may vary.
This combination of tracking and structured workouts can make it easier for beginners to establish a daily routine.
BetterMe Cost and Plans
Pricing varies according to the program and promotions available. During Forbes Health’s testing, plans ranged from a one-week option to a 12-week plan, with listed prices ranging from $17.77 to $94.85 before discounts. A one-on-one coaching option was listed separately at $99.99 for four weeks.
Guided challenges can also cost extra, with prices reported between $2.99 and $29.99.
Because BetterMe frequently presents promotional pricing, users should carefully review the subscription terms and renewal details before purchasing.
What Did the BetterMe Review Find?
Forbes Health’s tester found the sign-up process straightforward but lengthy. The detailed questionnaire helped create a more personalized plan, while the relatively short daily workouts—around 13 to 21 minutes—could work well for people with busy schedules.
However, the experience was mixed. The tester found some workouts less motivating and experienced occasional technical glitches. The calorie-tracking tools were viewed more positively, particularly the ability to use food photos and barcodes for logging.
Customer feedback is also mixed. BetterMe has received many positive reviews on Trustpilot, but complaints reported by Forbes include billing issues, unexpected renewals, technical problems and customer-service concerns.
