- BodyFx features unique, Latin dance-inspired workouts, known as their patented Figure 8 routines. Figure 8 was designed to be fun and customers say it's more enjoyable than traditional workouts. The workouts combine simple steps with Dynamic Core Cardio Training that targets every abdominal muscle (transverse abdominis, rectus abdominis, internal oblique, and external oblique). Workouts alternate between dance routines and the Jennifer Nicole Lee (JNL) fusion routines that utilize 30 second intervals of cardio and strength training.
- BodyFx is an entirely individualized health and fitness experience, which means there's no person-to-person contact like there is at public gyms. It is a convenient and safe home option during the pandemic. Members can order DVDs and supplements in the mail, download the BodyFx app, and stream videos on any device.
- BodyFx is an all-in-one package that offers both a diet program and a fitness program. It provides a full nutrition plan with meal options, a constantly growing library of workouts, and a pre-filled calendar of workout schedules to conveniently tailor the fitness experience to each customer's schedule and needs.
BodyFx is more cost-efficient than several similar services. After a 30-day free trial period, a BodyFx membership runs $11.99 per month. Customers have the option of being billed monthly or yearly. The yearly subscription is more economical, as it breaks down to $9 per month. BodyFx also offers an extensive 60-day money back guarantee.
There are countless health and fitness brands on the market that offer a variety of services with slight variations. Similar subscription-based brands like Daily Burn or Aaptiv start at?$14.95?per month compared to BodyFx at $11.99 per month. Beachbody ranges from $13-$16 per month but doesn't offer single month options. Gym memberships with a brick-and-mortar location such as Planet Fitness or 24-Hour Fitness typically run $10-$30 per month, though locations are currently closed.
Pros:
BodyFx workouts efficiently target multiple areas of the body at once to provide full body fitness at a minimal time commitment. The JNL Fusion Fit system works by fusing three different disciplines, strength training, cardio, and rest intervals, into one seamless session to develop a toned body shape.
Most of the BodyFx workouts don't require additional purchases of equipment, though a mat may be helpful in a space with a hardwood floor. A jump rope and dumbells may also be used in some of the fusion routines.
The daily time commitment for BodyFx workouts is minimal since workout videos average about 30 minutes. The shortest workout in the library is just 10 minutes and the longest workout is only 50 minutes. Calorie-burning workouts are often described as "intense" so BodyFx programs burn the same amount of calories as other workout videos in a shorter, more efficient amount of time.
Though email is the preferred BodyFx customer service option, responses are prompt and thorough and they frequently offer to extend the free trial period in instances of uncertainty or customer service complaints.
Cons:
The majority of the Figure 8 BodyFx workouts are derived from Latin dance competitions so the ability to pick up basic choreography is helpful and may be challenging to some members. Videos range from beginner to advanced but some may find the progression accelerates too quickly. Additionally, the BodyFx dance routines move in every direction so members will need a bit more space than typical workouts.
It may be somewhat unclear on the website but customers cannot purchase BodyFx workout DVDs without subscribing to the monthly service. Once purchased, the monthly subscription can be easily cancelled at any time if the customer prefers not to take advantage of the streaming option.
Though men are featured in the routines and the co-creator of the program is male, BodyFx is primarily designed just for women.
Due to the virtual nature of BodyFx, certain features of the program may be difficult to access for users who are not familiar with apps and similar streaming services. Even for users who are tech savvy, the app is a little clunky and could be improved by providing better direction on which video to start with first. The workout videos also need to be updated with descriptions explaining what equipment might be needed, whether it? considered a beginner, intermediate or advanced workout, and whether the workout is geared more toward cardio or toning. A visual preview would also be a beneficial improvement.

GOOD FOR GIFTING?
BodyFx would make a great gift for anyone who would benefit from a convenient, home health and fitness program but keep in mind, gifting BodyFx would require an ongoing monthly payment or a transferal of the subscription.
