You have probably seen those Beachbody Exercise Programs on T.V. commercials. You know, this is the company that makes those famous workout programs like P90X, Insanity, 80 Day Obsession, Piyo, Core De Force, 21 Day Fix and so much more. In fact, Beachbody has 600+ workouts! Now you can get all of the Beachbody programs at once with the Beachbody on Demand app, but do these popular programs live up to all the hype…My answer is, ‘Yes, they do, and here are 10 reasons why…’

1. Positive Results
I can honeslty say I am in my best shape whenever I am doing one of these programs. I like to change up my workouts so I have tried all kinds of Beachbody and non-Beachbody programs, but I have gotten the best results from Beachbody, hands down.
2. Great For Busy People
Several of the Beachbody programs are only 25 minutes. These fantastic express programs include Shaun T’s Focus T25, 22 Minute Hard Corps, Insanity Max:30, P90X3, and more.
Plus if you don’t even have 25 minutes, you can stop and start these programs throughout the day on your phone. I have a 4 year old who sometimes interrupts my workouts. One minute I’m doing a mountain climber exercise, the next minutes I am fixing my daughter a heart-shaped cheese sandwich per her loud request. I simply pause the app, fix the snack, and then resume the workout in the kitchen. You know, because she insists that I stay in the kitchen while she eats.
3. Portability
Sooo portable! Since this is an app, I can take the workout anywhere. I have done a workout in the middle of a hotel room! You can play these workouts on your phone, tablet, computer, laptop, and AppleTV.
4. Variety
Variety is the spice of life AND workouts! I sometimes do a whole program or pick and choose workouts from different programs each day depending on my mood. I can do Hip Hop Abs with Shaun T one day, and then lift weights with Tony Horton the next. If I am not near any weights on a particular day then I can find a program that only uses your body weight for resistance. Did I mention there are 600+ workouts to choose from!
5. Your Entire Family Can Use the Program
If you have ever read any of my other posts, you know that I try to encourage the whole family to live an active lifestyle. It’s just so fun! Beachbody on Demand even includes workout programs for kids. How cool is that?!?!
6. You Can Easily Fit These Workouts Into Any Routine
I love a good workout class in the gym, but I often find that the time of the class doesn’t fit into my schedule. Sometimes my favorite class will fall right when my son has soccer practise every night or when I have a monthly meeting. Occasionally, I have gone to class to find that the instructor had to cancel due to illness or a family emergency. Hey, life happens, but with Beachbody, you can still get in your workout even when life gets crazy. You can fit your workout in anytime and anywhere! Like I mentioned earlier, you can even stop and start it in dfferent rooms if you need to.
7. You Get Interactive Support if you Want
When you purchase Beachbody on Demand, a Beachbody coach is included. These coaches give you online support and encouragement. You can go to them for support or do it on your own if you prefer. Do what works for you. Many of these coaches set up fun challenge groups, and when you join these groups you will find a whole group of people to motivate and cheer for you. I love how we encourage and uplift each other in these groups. By the way, my coach is Healther Wilson, and she is wonderful!
8. You Can Workout in your Own Home
No need to drive to a gym or even get dressed up. I workout in my sweat pants, and I don’t even brush my hair or wear makeup when I do these workouts, and its wonderful!
9. Saves Time
Sooo since you don’t have to drive to a gym or get dressed, you will save so much time for all the other things on your to-do list! And remember, Beachbody offers many workouts that are less than 30 minutes!
10. Healthy Cooking Shows included on Beachbody on Demand
So not only do you stream over 600 workouts but 100+ Healthy cooking shows are included as well with Beachbody on Demand 12 Month Membership.
Other Workout Ideas
My goal when I started this blog was to help people customize and find tips that will work specifically for them. We are all so individual, and there are many ways to get healthier. So although Beachbody is a great workout option for many reasons, maybe you want to try something different. I have several post that can help you pick which workout routines will work for you.

Awesome! Love the idea of this! I will have to check it out!
I really don’t think I’d be motivated enough to use it on an app, to be honest. I don’t work out religiously unless I’ve joined a gym and have a physical class at a specific time to be in. LOL. I’m impressed with your willpower!
Sounds like you found something you love to do. Working out with others at a gym is a great motivator. I am so glad you have found something that you enjoy! That is what it’s all about! <3
Awesome article! I really need to get into a program like this and be more committed to my health!
This is awesome …. a whole year for only 100 is crazy ! I’m spending $40/month on a gym membership I dont use. I wish I had the motivation to keep it up at home .. this would be a great option
Awesome! I’m so glad you found something that works for you!
I’ve always wondered if those programs actually work! As someone who is always on the go, I need to find something that fits into my lifestyle. This actually sounds like it just may work!
I cannot say enough about how well these programs work! I have seen it in myself, my husband, and several of my friends
I’ve heard of these programs but didn’t know much about them. I’m glad to have learned a bit more and may even look into getting the program! It sounds like something that would work perfectly for my busy lifestyle. Thanks!
I am so glad you found this post helpful and informative. These programs are great for busy lives!
My health and fitness journey started with P90X. I agree. I’ve never been disappointed with BB workouts/programs.
P90X was the first Beachbody program I did, and I was hooked after that!
My boss does Beachbody and can’t say enough good things about it. She’s been doing it for over a year now, and even though I see her every day, I’ve noticed the great results she’s having!
These are really good reasons! I have struggled with using some of these workout plans, but I have found that yoga and pilates work best for me! But they are definitely cheaper than the gym.
Yoga and Pilates are such great workouts! Beachbody has a program called Piyo, which combines BOTH! And yes, this is so much cheaper than the gym!
I love Beachbody workouts! I lost 30 lbs last year doing Beachbody workouts. P90x and P90x2 are my favorites.
That is awesome! I have done P90X, but I haven’t tried P90X2. I want to do that one sometime. : )
I really enjoy several of the beach body programs. From hip hop abs to insanity. Basically I’m a Shaun t fan
Me too, Jennifer! I’m a Shaun T fan too; course, I’m really a fan of all of them!
Oh yeah, these for sure work! I did Insanity and it was just that… insane! In the best way possible. My only issue is that if I’m working out solo, I prefer going to the gym.
lol, yes they gave that program the appropriate title for sure. My husband likes working out at the gym too. He does the Beachbody programs at the gym.
I`ll check it. See how it gord.
Great workout ideas! I only work our at home but not daily I still need the motivation. Plus yeah I need variety, I usually get bored of a routine fast
You know, watching those Beachbody Programs on T.V. commercials leave me feeling fit lol! Seriously, I could sit there eating donuts and enjoying watching them sweat 🙂 But glad you found something that works for you. For me, its gotta be hitting the actual gym.
