Very disappointed in being billed for a recurring subscription and not being refunded when requested. I didnt use the program and would not recommend and am now even more annoyed at having to pay for something that is useless to me.
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. Beyond / Perfect Body have taken multiple payments from my card without clear consent and without me ever using their service or app. I clicked on an advert and may have started a questionnaire, but I did NOT knowingly agree to a subscription or recurring billing. Despite this, I was charged a total of around $330 with no… Read more
clear explanation or meaningful warning that I was entering an ongoing paid subscription. I have never used their service, and my bank has now blocked my card and raised a fraud dispute. This company’s billing practices are not transparent. They are scammers who steal money.
Run! Don’t engage. The book is redundant and not at all worth the price. Also, good luck unsubscribing! Biggest waste of money. Rip off. I unsubscribed 2 months months ago. Still charged.

Beyond body are dishonest in their dealings. They say that their book is personalised but it isn't. Yes they put your name on it but thats all. When I first subscribed I declined a hard copy of the book but beyond body charged me went on despite me… Read more
protesting and saying I did not want the book. As well as this they claim to.personalise the book including the ebook but they dont. I am vegetarian and advised them of this dyeing the signing up process. They recipes are mainly beeg port ir chicken. This us really offensive when a vegetarian has already advised that they do not want meat included and demonstrates how customers requests are ignored. Once they have your money they don't care about what you want.... totally unappropriate The app says I have been unsubscribed and has said that since I first purchased it. They didn't reply or attempt to do anything until I put in a dispute with PayPal and a separate review to this one. Then they lied to me saying they were trying to process a partial refund but that my bank was blocking them from doing that. I purchased through PayPal not my bank. I do not believe them and think they are just trying to waste my time while they wait for PayPal timeline to run down so that I can't escalate the dispute. Don't deal with this dishonest organisation.
Follow-up · Since this review was written i received some fairly vague communication from Beyond Body and then I escalated the claim through PayPal who investigated the matter and then issued me with a refund. Note:PayPal took the matter out of Beyond Bodys hands. There have been many more poor reviews of this business. Stay aware
This is a rort. The so called tailored plan is completely generic and doesn’t deliver what it claims. The book is a joke and just AI generated general content repurposed from the internet.
Follow-up · Was contacted by Beyond Body and raised my concerns and no denial or proof otherwise was provided.
Positive reviews
When I read a review, I want to hear about personal experiences. Rude or angry posts online lack credibility. No one program is for everyone and I understand this. I decided to give this app a try. Here was my experience. I lost 1/2" on my waist the first week. This was the problem area after five surgeries in four years. Diabetes made it hard… Read more
to lose the weight I gained and I have to eat in a manner to keep diabetes under control. Nutritionists did not help with weight loss and there are limits on physical activity now. I was not sure on what to do about this weight.
For these reasons, the app was all I wanted, nothing else, no books, recipes or workout info. The terms of the subscription are quite clear on the app. The app keeps me on track for my goal. Tracking it on my own while developing a new habit does not. I wish that the app costed less because it's all I use, but losing weight with diabetes and regaining health means a lot to me, so I'll pay it for now. No one bothers me to buy anything after purchasing the app. That is appreciated. If an overcharge occurs, I have a good CC company to take care of it, so that is never a concern.
I gained weight after major surgeries back to back. Diabetes makes any weight loss difficult. On this easy app I can log and stay on track with privacy. Other apps were annoying and excessive so I didn't want to use them. My daily blood sugar has remained in the good range every day. It's simple, it's working. This has been my experience.
Amazing!!! – I only bought the ebook and it’s fantastic. I love the recipes and the food keeps me full for so long. You don’t get an exercise plan in the ebook however that works well for me. I’m already losing weight and feeling more confident. Amazing ebook would definitely recommend!
Amazing – I used beyond boday after my 3rd child. Not only did beyond body help me achieve my results but it also made it super easy as being a mum of 3 and so many delicious options, the app is so easy to use and when it says it’s tailored to you it definitely is that! If any of the meals it has selected but you don’t like them you have so many other… Read more
options to swap it out for so you are never eating boring yucky food just to get results beyond body shows how you can eat whole healthy but yummy food and loose weight at the same time! I lost 5kgs in two weeks
Negative reviews
This is total rubbish. Having answered all the preliminary questions about preferences etc, once purchased does it all again and the plan is totally formula in - no personalisation at all. I have forgotten more than this company knows about nutrition- all the recipes are carb heavy and totally predictable. I am cancelling the subscription and truly hope they don’t dare charge me again at the end of the month. What a waste of money and time.
Rubbish. Do not subscribe. Complete waste of money. They claim to tell you the most optimal length of fasting, based on the parameters you provided in the quiz. All this is a good, water and exercise tracker. You can do that yourself for free it doesn’t even tell you the optimal fasting period. You just choose your own fasting schedule, yet their… Read more
whole premise is if you don’t fast appropriately for your cortisol levels, then you are doing more harm than good. IMHO THIS IS A SCAM!!! Do not buy into it. I will post this review up on every possible site I can.
$38 for a "personalized book" that was not personalized at all, along with an app that monitors the same things my free fasting app monitors. A waste of money, avoid!

Beyond Body have taken money from me again. I showed interest in a personalised workout and meal plan booklet months ago but what I recieved was not personalised. The meals contained nuts which I'm anaphylaxtic to. When I contacted them they denied a refund and claimed that no more money would be taken but two more unauthorised payments of $119.12 and $44.99 were taken today. Have opened a case with PayPal.

SCAM SITE! They take money from your bank account months after canceling and use every excuse under the sun as to why they can’t refund your money. DODGY THEIVES! Have since learnt this is common for them. STEER CLEAR!!!
How is it that they advertise this book as free and it’s NOT when you answer all there questions to so called come up with a program for you, you then go ahead and you are unable to get it for free unless you subscribe to them. It’s either a scam or a route, either way it’s a lie and should not be allowed.
This company continues to advertise their Beyond Body customised book for FREE, this is an absolute lie!!! it is not free, to get the book you have to buy a subscription for their app, so NOT free at all!!! Very aggressive & misleading advertising!!! They are playing on people who are often very vulnerable & desperate for help- just unscrupulous & lacking integrity!!
They say it’s a personalised fasting programme but there was nothing provided after providing answers to dozens of questions. I emailed and questioned this and they came back with a generic fasting routine that can be found with one simple internet search. Nothing personalised about it and to put it bluntly, it feels like I’ve been scammed.
I would give this a zero if I could. DO NOT PURCHASE! This is an app owned by a company in Lithuania. The app tracks your water and food intake, allows you to set fasting periods with reminders, and suggests meals to keep you within a 1200-calorie-per-day diet. If you follow the plan, you will most likely lose weight. It will not teach you how to… Read more
eat so that you keep the weight off. It does NOT suggest an optimal fast period. It suggests foods that are not available at my local supermarket in Australia. I immediately requested a refund and an AI bot is refusing to refund my money in full. There are no humans to interact with.
I would give a 0 if I could - total scam!! The book didn't arrive because their website didn't have ACT as an option for delivery - that should have been my first sign something was wrong!! I had to chase it up multiple times to get the book. I later got charged for subscriptions I didn't want. It took 2 months to finally get them to cancel it -… Read more
only for me to get charged AGAIN 3 months later!!! Hundreds of dollars for absolutely nothing - what a rip off. I can't believe I fell for it!
THIS IS TOTAL SCAM!!!!! Do NOT fall for it!! They don’t provide all the information that you need to make an informed purchasing decision. They charge you and then their “policies” keep them from refunding your money. Then they try to pass off a 25% refund as “as an act of good faith“. No. ABSOLUTELY NOT.
Although customer service was responsive, and refunded half the price, the app is so basic and 100% not worth the price, not even half the price. Bad purchase. Very disappointing.
Got the book - it just repeats the same meals over and over. Nothing special here. Then somewhere in the fine print, you are signed up for 3 separate subscriptions. One month after ordering you will get an automatic $54.00 charge. You will cancel and get no refund. You will believe that you have cancelled your subscriptions with them. NOPE. 6… Read more
months later you'll be charged $83.97. Again, they will not refund you even if you contact on the day they are charging you. This company have TERRIBLE business practices. Absolutely awful. But they can get away with it because it's all written in the fine print.

They charged me 72.99 which was supposed to be only 14.99 but slipped in all these hidden cost. I reached out to them and they stated it was for a subscription to the app website that never worked. They cancel the subscription they didn't refund my money only the price of the book then charge me a month later for the subscription again. I brought… Read more
to their attention that the subscription was already canceled and they have the audacity to offer me 25% refund when they weren't supposed to charge me in the first place because it was already canceled. Such a scam they should have refunded all my money initially because by their own admission if the site doesn't work you have 14 days for full refund. I let them know immediately and still they did nothing. Such a scam.
The program is okay. I paid for the book and a 6 month subscription, to just give it a go and deleted my card details afterwards (or so I thought). Had $130 deducted from my account yesterday for renewal of subscription. No contact the the renewal is happening and the only reason for money in that account was for medical appointments.I contact… Read more
Beyond Body immediately and receive a very quick response. When I confirmed my identity and requested that I be refunded and have the subscription cancelled I heard nothing. Followed up this morning and had a very quick response (within minutes) offering a discounted program, when I responded 5 minutes later declining and requesting a refund, I got NOTHING back. I followed up again this afternoon and have heard nothing. This company is just hear for your money and if you try to get a refund they will ghost you.
I would give a Negative 10 star if I could! This is a complete scam. I wish I had checked them out prior to ordering. If you follow Larissa Rissy Roo on Facebook, don't fall for her promoting this company like I did! Love watching Larissa and seeing HER recipes but this company is a JOKE!! The book is terrible and definitely not worth the paper… Read more
it's printed on. I have only opened the book once and threw it in the closet and haven't looked at it again. And their customer service absolutely sucks. I would not be able to sleep at night if I acted like that to my customers or to anyone for that matter!
Total fraud. Despite the statements that you can "cancel anytime", it is impossible to cancel and you keep getting charged the membership subscription. My recommendation is stay away from these people!!!
Massive scam – What a scam. Guys don’t do it. It looks great but in reality it’s just another boring meal plan and they’ll get you with all these charges you have no idea you’ve signed up for. I signed up for 1 month. They reckon I agreed to reoccurring (which I wouldn’t have), they added ‘complimentary free trials’ to other services and now I’ve been charged… Read more
for them when I didn’t want them in the first place.
The app is annoying, the meals are crap. It’s a well marketed but poorly executed scam.
It’s a SCAM! – It is a scam. The book is not personalised, the food is gross and they continue taking money out of your account when you’ve cancelled it. They only offer 25% refunds unless you threaten legal action
Don't waste your time or money on info you can get for free with a Google search – What a waste of money. Repetitive recipes, most of which I won't eat. It's all information you can find for free online. Once you register it tries to upsell several programs, which should just be included in the initial fee. Finally, the whole process is so glitchy. I keep getting emails about faults and to contact them, just to find out I've… Read more
been sent it in error. The emails border on spam. Finally, the book that was sent was so poorly packaged I'm lucky it even arrived.
Horrible from Day 1 – Downloaded the app after spending $140+ on the program and book. App didn’t match the recipes/meal plan in my e-book so I tried to reset it after requesting assistance and accidentally deleted the account. Immediately contacted support again only to be told there was nothing at all they could do to retrieve my account. How can they have no ability… Read more
to reset my account or set me up a new account? I requested further assistance and was told ‘further assistance is impossible’. So as I can’t access my account I requested a refund and have been ignored. Will be taking the matter to Consumer Affairs. Absolute joke that they expect to keep my money and provide me with nothing but bad service and an $8 ebook.
BeyondBody’s blatant disregard for customer satisfaction – I purchased the BeyondBody App for $38.99, only to be blocked from accessing it due to a technical issue on their end. I repeatedly tried to resolve this issue, but every support request went ignored, and emails bounced back without explanation. By the time they finally addressed the problem, I had already moved on to a competitor due to the… Read more
absolute lack of support.
Despite these major issues, my request for a refund has been dismissed, showing BeyondBody’s blatant disregard for customer satisfaction. Their app wasted my time and money, and their customer service was nonexistent when I needed it most. I would strongly advise others to stay away—this app is not worth the frustration or cost.
False Advertisement – Honestly this isn’t about their products it’s about the initial marketing. You think you’re getting a book and app that offers workouts and foods catered to your preferences. Wrong! Your book only offers the foods without the workout, that is a separate cost not offered until after you have agreed and paid for the app and food book. To add to the… Read more
disappointment my app which you can download right away had foods in there I will not eat. After realizing this didn’t have the workouts, and foods not of my choosing I reached out to their email since there is no offered information that you can call directly. I emailed the very next morning to cancel and told them my reasons of false advertisement and extra discounts offered the same day through Facebook that I missed. Their response was to pay the difference to cancel since it was written in their policy. I’m sorry but if you advertise workouts and claiming the book with recipes is geared toward our choices and you don’t produce what is offered then we as clients should not have to have the difficulty to back out of your policy with these false claims of helping people out. Customers please do not be fooled, the workout book and add on to the app is a separate charge offered after you pay for the food portion. I personally will not be paying the difference to cancel (as they say early) but I have a feeling that when I try to cancel at the due time I will also have difficulty then as well.
