Digital Wellness Subscriptions – Tell Us Everything!

Sweatflix (aka BodyRock) has an awesome library of workouts. Last I checked it was about $10/mo and they offer free trials to try it out.

Fresh20 – It’s weekly meal plans, recipes, and shopping lists done for you. They have a range of dietary plans to choose from. For me, the planning is the hardest part!

Ovulation tracker!
I know this is different, and I’m not crazy about these kinda of things but I have learned more about my body using an ovulation app than I even knew possible!
Most of them are to try and get pregnant but I started using one as ‘natural’ birth control. (Not advocating anything here! Be responsible.) It’s really neat to get to know the cycle of the body, even if you aren’t trying to get or prevent pregnancy.
I use My days X but there are other good ones like Glow and Ovia. Most of them are free so this might not be the place for mentioning them but you can learn a lot. I feel like this could also help along with a weight loss app as it teaches you the daily changes in your body due to hormones. You can log your daily body works, temp, mood, etc along with your period days and over time looking through the calendar things seem to make more sense.
It’s probably the best topic of app I could recommend. I would really like to see a weight loss program that takes these daily changes into account (maybe there is one?)

I am a HEADSPACE gal which was introduced via a sub box of either FFF or PSMH years ago

Please please please have someone try Cureable – it is for chronic pain relief. Seriously. The reviews and everything I read sounds good but it is over $10/month.
I desperately want to hear that it works before I try it, as money is tight.

I haven’t used any of the programs listed here, but I did use Chris Hemsworth’s fitness program, Centr, for three months and I loved it. I train in hapkido (Korean martial art), so the MMA workouts were especially nice. They have a ton of different workouts for all skill levels. I cancelled to cut back on costs, but I definitely recommend the program.

Please look Into the Nike fitness app! I tried the free version and it was pretty good for workouts, but I’d love to see a review of the premium version.

I belong to WW (used to be WeightWatchers) I have had good success losing weight on their program. They very recently made some changes that I really like. There are three possible tracks that you can be on…you pick the one that’s right for you. And, you can change tracks anytime you want. Their app is easy to use too.

I’m currently using Noom – it’s worth every single penny! I have been unsuccessful in the past but this app does more than just have you track your fitness and meals, it actually helps you delve into your motivation, triggers, and habits to help you make lifelong changes. You have actual people you are working with to help you create goals and keep you on track. They also get you in a group to have more people to help you stay accountable. If you need to lose weight and have struggled in the past, I would recommend trying the 2 week trial for Noom. I’m 9 days in and have lost 5 pounds so far.

I use the Calm app and have enjoyed it so far. It was a little pricey (I think around $60 for a year but when I tried the free 7 day trial I did get an e-mail to purchase at a special price of around $40). I had some pretty extreme insomnia and anxiety for a good 6 months and I would listen to the sleep stories at night with some success. They have sleep stories for children as well so my son and I will listen to those before bed at times. They also have relaxing music, meditation, breathing exercises, masterclasses (from world renowned mindfulness experts), and a calm selection for kids. My insomnia is pretty much non-existent at this point so I don’t think I will renew next year but there are an array of other options that might make it worth it for someone else.

GLO! It’s amazing. The classes are from top-tier, highly experienced instructors, and there is literally something for everyone.

I was a big fan of Curology but then the formula I was on started not to work as well. Perhaps my skin got used to it. I switched to Musely a few weeks ago and it’s been amazing. I’m seeing much more of a difference in my complexion than I saw with Curology’s formulation.

This is a little off topic, but I would love to see some personal growth sub boxes which while delivering items through the mail, also have an online community and/or digital content like mediation guides or personal growth/self help videos led by an expert. Sort of hybrid style sub boxes with both online & digital content plus items like gratitude journals or productivity planner, books etc. I know there are some out there like this, but am blanking on their names. I would love to hear people’s experiences with these type of boxes, especially to learn how involved the online community is or how effective was the digital content in supporting growth and positive change.

You may already have this style of box discussed in a future post.

As for this question, I loved headspace, but after using it for 3 months, I no longer needed the app to meditate. I learned many kinds of meditation to practice which, for me, was the valuable aspect of headspace. I think it is especially valuable for those new to meditation but not all that valuable for those who have an established practice who also don’t need the motivation headspace provides. It has been over 4 years ago I used headspace, so keep in mind that there may be more features on the app that were not there when I used the app. Hope that helps anyone decide to try the service.

I used to use MyFitnessPal to track eating and exercise, and may use it again in the future. Noom sounded interesting but the online reviews were mixed so I felt like it was too expensive to try.

I’m a big fan of DailyBurn – they offer a variety of daily video workouts, a video archive, workout programs, and audio workouts for all levels. The full membership is usually around $150/year, but seems to go on sale regularly for $50, which makes it super reasonable! I especially like Anja Garcia’s Inferno videos.
