My Initial Thoughts on Beachbody on Demand All Access

HomeatWDW

I saw this on another thread and asked about it myself, and I ended up subscribing. Thought I'd share my thoughts in case anyone else is considering it. I signed up online and it was easy and the website didn't try to upsell me, although I had to unsubscribe from the auto mailing lists it signs you up for. I was ticked because I connected with a coach online and wanted to enter her info but it randomly paired me with someone. I signed up late at night and got a sign in right away but didn't get access to everything until the following morning.

Almost all Beachbody programs are included, but not Body Gospel. Otherwise I didn't notice anything else missing, and there are two previews of what I assume are upcoming new programs. I used the app on my iPad and also added the channel to my TV via Roku and it runs fine so far.

Right now I'm doing the AM and PM yoga and am going to start Chalean Extreme. I was planning to buy her DVDs, so that made it easier to justify springing the $99 to have access to that and the 10 minute Tony Horton workouts I was also considering.

I'm happy so far as I was sick of shuffling DVDs, and I know I'll like the variety of programs so I won't get bored. I'll probably "graze" for a while one I finish Chalean. The terms say it auto renews every year for the same price if you don't cancel, but I'll likely keep it if it continues to hold my interest. I view it like a gym membership, and personally I do much better working out at home than hauling my lazy butt to the gym. I'm combining this with regular walking/running because I want a toning program and also some guidance on morning and evening stretches to go with the walks.

That's my opinion so far for anyone else considering the all access. It's worth it if you like variety and being able to easily stream, but you'll be out a year's worth of money if you don't commit and use it regularly.
