The Daily Burn platform also recommends and has active links to dietary supplements and fitness equipment. Do be aware of their refund policies, cancellation policies, and their claims before you purchase. Daily Burn offers a free trial to all users to try out our workouts. If at anytime you’re not satisfied within the trial period, you can cancel your account before your trial ends and you will not be charged. Unless your account is cancelled, you will begin to be billed automatically. Once we begin to bill you, cancellations take effect starting at the end of your current billing period, meaning there are no partial month refunds or credits. [2] If you enrolled in the free trial, you must cancel before your 30 day trial is over or you will be charged a new month’s fee of $14.95. NOTE: simply deleting the application from your smart phone does not cancel your subscription to Daily Burn. You must go to your account settings when you log in and cancel there, or you’ll still be charged. Because Daily Burn is offered on other sites like Amazon, Roku, and Apple TV, you will have to unsubscribe from the Daily Burn channel on those accounts as well. Please note Daily Burn is no longer available on Hulu. Daily Burn does not offer a customer service phone number. They offer an email form on their support page, or you can reach out to them on Twitter at @dailyburnhelp. This program is definitely for the Net-savvy. [2] The company posts a disclaimer warning against starting a fitness program without your doctor’s consent, especially if you currently don’t work out much or have had health issues in the past. Essentially, work out and follow the nutritional program at your own risk. [3]
Daily Burn Program/Ingredients
Daily Burn offers over 600 workouts to choose from, ranging from 15 minutes to an hour, in over 20 different disciplines, including: dance, high intensity cardio, yoga, Pilates, or strength training. They even offer one free 30-minute workout each Monday on their YouTube channel; you don’t have to sign up for Daily Burn to get this one, but you don’t get to choose what it is, either. [4] If you want one-on-one personal training, it will cost more than just subscribing to the program itself. Daily Burn offers two different programs for this; Standard and Premium. For one year, Standard costs about $180, and Premium around $350. [5]
back to menu ↑The Science (or Lack Thereof) Behind Daily Burn
Science doesn’t talk about the effectiveness—or ineffectiveness—of working out in your home as opposed to a gym or with a personal trainer, though there is widespread agreement that working out itself is definitely a good thing. It comes down to personality. If you need to socialize when you work out, videos at home aren’t going to be beneficial to you no matter how awesome the program. Online communities can help, but sometimes you just need to be around people more than message boards. On the other hand, if you’re naturally shy or are perfectly happy with your own company and can motivate yourself, it’s great. And even without Daily Burn, there are literally millions of workout videos, everything from walk aerobics to tai chi to weight training, on YouTube and other sites. You just have to do a little searching and experimentation to find something you enjoy and can stick to. Exercise and healthy eating has been proven to work for weight loss and an overall healthy lifestyle, so don’t be fooled into thinking this program is too good to be true. Daily Burn does offer you the tools you need, if you stick to it. There are obvious drawbacks to working out and following a nutritional program based solely online:
- the cost and space/storage requirements of workout equipment in your home
- self-motivating to stick with the program long enough to get your money’s worth
- real-time correction of form; bad form can result in injury
But there are upsides as well:
- the high cost that comes with an in-person personal trainer
- being locked into going to a location each day, battling the crowds and traffic
Personal trainer Nathan DeMetz makes a case for having a knowledgeable assist right in front of you, whether at the gym or in your home, over an online PT. DeMetz, a personal trainer in Goshen, Indiana, charges about $160 per month for online training (including weekly or more consultations, constant email support ,and phone support when needed), compared to a minimum of $320 per month for in-person training. But,
“There’s not that real-time correction of form and there’s not that real-time ability to ask questions.” And for clients who aren’t highly attuned to their bodies and good at communicating how they’re feeling, that lag can lead to an increased risk of injury,” DeMetz adds. [6]
back to menu ↑Word On The Street About Daily Burn
So does Daily Burn actually work for weight loss and overall health? On the website you’ll obviously read nothing but positives, but what did real customers have to say about the program and the user experience as a whole? Because the Daily Burn app is available on Amazon, we can take advantage of their always-candid reviews. 442 customers averaged a 3.8 out of 5 star rating, with 67% rating it 4-star or better. So a lot of happy customers, but there were some reports of the app crashing. Whether it was a result of the customer’s technology or the platform itself wasn’t specified.

The Bottom Line: Is Daily Burn Worth A Try?
This program has strong reviews overall, but the platform may have issues on certain devices, and customer service regarding those outside platforms looks iffy. But the idea of personalized workout video recommendations is nice. Of course, it really only takes a little searching—after a chat with your doctor—to find a good exercise video you can enjoy for free. Then it’s just purchasing a few items for your “home gym” and starting slow. All of the supplement and equipment recommendations are for mainstream products widely available, so they’re not trying to hawk their own products. Do be careful of Daily Burn subscription services through companies like Amazon and Roku, as their billing and cancellation policies could differ from the Daily Burn website.
Need more selection a few focused on aerobics for mobility issues. I personally find them all challenging given that I have rods in my back and pelvis and not worth the payments. Why is it every other day I sign into Dailyburn on my t.v I have to enter another code figured I am paying for this why do I need to reenter another code hopefully I don’t get charged extra for each code
