Beachbody on Demand VS Openfit: The Ultimate Guide

I've been asked a lot about Between Demand vs. Open Fit, so I thought I'd break them down here so you can decide for yourself which platform is best for your needs.

If you've ever wondered if it's possible to get fit without a gym, these platforms will change your mind.

Beachbody on Demand Benefits:

Beachbody on Demand Batchbody CEO launched on July 16, 2015, with all of its signature programs on the platform. Since then, they've added 3 to 4 new programs a year, so there's a lot of different workouts on the platform. Beachbody on Demand has about 40 programs, each with anywhere from 10 to 100 individual workouts, so there are more than 700 workouts on the platform.

BOD Streaming Options:

Because it's all online, you don't need a DVD player. You can stream these exercises from your device (iPad, tablet, or smartphone), your computer, laptop, or smart TV. Batch B On Demand makes working at home as accessible as possible.

BOD Tracking Options:

The simplest thing with Beach Bod On Demand is that you can track your calories burned by synchronizing the same heart rate monitor in the app. You can also track your diet and exercise on the app which is helpful.

Open Fit Benefits:

Open Feint launched in early 2019, so it's a very new platform. They launched with 6 programs, including just over 150 individual workouts.

I'm not sure if they've added any new programs since launch, so they have significantly less content than the demand batch bye.

One of the unique features of Open Fit is that you can sign up for "live" classes where you follow an instructor who teaches classes in "real-time".

It keeps things fresh and interesting, but you also have to be available when the class is alive or you miss the opportunity to participate.

Open Fit Streaming Option:

Like Batch Boy on Demand (BOD), you can stream Open Fit workouts from your device (iPad, tablet, or smartphone), your computer, your laptop, or smart TV. You can also get a Wahoo Heart Rate Monitor to track your calories burned during each workout.

So, Which Is Better? BOD OR Open Fit?

Based on facts alone, Beachbody demand is a much better value. You get over 5x exercise and a cooking show for the same price! There are more robust tracking options and some programs have a separate app from where you can track food and exercise.

A little known fact:

Both platforms are near Beachbody. It is not clear to me why they will develop competitive products, but I am sure they have reasons.

What about Other Streaming Workout Platforms?

There is no shortage of online exercise platforms in the market. However, based on my research, Beachbody on Demand is still the best value because it offers more exercise than any other platform. Peloton is adding more content to their platform, but at 39 39 per month, its price is not so competitive and the exercise is no less visually interesting.
