### 3/5 — Not as authentic as it appears

*2026-06-01, version 9.0.15*

I used Melissa Wood Health consistently for nearly 9 years and genuinely benefited from the workouts for a long time. However, I eventually became disappointed by what felt like a major disconnect between the brand’s public messaging around authenticity, healing, and community and my direct experience behind the scenes.

Wellness brands ask people to place emotional trust in them, not just financial trust. In my experience, the community aspect felt far more curated and performative than genuine, and it changed how I viewed the platform entirely.

### 2/5 — Won’t let you cancel

*2025-02-24, version 8.6.1*

I have been a customer for 3+ years and have enjoyed the workouts. However, I no longer do at-home workouts and don’t need the app. They make it IMPOSSIBLE to cancel your subscription. You can’t cancel in the App Store, in the app, or on their website. I had to write into support to cancel. Then a month later I still got charged and support told me they won’t refund me? This is predatory behavior.

### 2/5 — Annual fee increase

*2024-12-16, version 8.5.9*

Very disappointed the annual fee went up 35 dollars especially at times like this.

### 3/5 — Great content, issues with app

*2024-05-31, version 8.4.10*

I enjoy the content of this app, but the app bugs leave much to be desired. Namely, I have a lot of difficulty casting onto my tv from my phone when using this app. The video stops multiple times and has to be refreshed, then auto it starts from the beginning. I also get an error message sometimes that someone is watching a video on another device when that is not the case! Please fix these bugs! They’re getting in the way of the content!

### 5/5 — Keep coming back! She’s the OG

*2024-05-23, version 8.4.10*

I have been off and on with MWH for years. Depending on what type of workout I am focusing on. She is consistent and articulate and her flows vary from calming to fiery. Literally something for everyone no matter your age! She does try to keep evolving and expanding and I appreciate the variety in the app from recipes, meditations, focused challenges and new instructors. She does work hard to create and grow with her members. She is one of the original app Pilates teachers and I love her style and energy.

### 3/5 — Great classes, bad app

*2024-05-16, version 8.4.1*

Love Melissa but this app has a lot of flaws. It crashes, freezes, doesn’t have accurate data in the profile, the filters say there are no classes at 5 minutes or less but if you filter for 10-minute long classes and scroll through there are 5 minute classes. Hopefully the team can figure it out because it’s frustrating.

### 2/5 — Tech issues

*2024-05-10, version 8.4.0*

The workouts are great but good luck trying to cast, it disconnects and says I’m watching on two devices. frustrating.

### 5/5 — My favorite wellness app!

*2024-02-17, version 8.3.0*

I love this app so much! The classes are great, I do the meditations every day. And there are so many recipes and other great wellness tips. But I mainly love Melissa’s teaching style and Pilates classes! My favorite! Would love to get some flexibility classes on here ☺️☺️

### 5/5 — MWT & the creators are 🔥

*2024-01-24, version 8.2.9*

I looove these workouts, they are short and spicy when you only have a little bit of time for yourself in a packed day. They’ve also got me into meditation! I never thought that would be for me but they are so calming and help me recognize and reset my negative thought patterns. Can’t recommend enough! 😊

### 3/5 — Amazing but unfair subscription

*2024-01-19, version 8.2.8*

i recently cancelled my card and had to resubscribe my membership with the new details. I have been subscribing to mwh for years now so was pretty disappointed to see that international customers are being charged nearly DOUBLE what US customers are!!! Showing $9.99 monthly but then when i pay it is £14.95 (equiv to US $19). This should 100% be the same price no matter where you subscribe from.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Schlechter Support und technische Probleme

*2026-08-07*

Leider kann ich mein Abo nicht nutzen. Der Support ist das schweigen im Walde. Außerdem kann ich meine Kreditkarte nicht ändern… es ist ein Albtraum!

### 1/5 — No help from support

*2026-02-13, version 9.0.9*

App won’t play outside of wifi areas. App shuts down when screen goes dark (when listening to meditations). Support team wanted to refund my money and cancel my subscription instead of getting the developer to fix the app. Said I’m the only one having these issues which is impossible.

### 1/5 — Poor App

*2025-08-20, version 9.0.2*

The app constantly logs out and won’t allow you to log back in and their customer service was not helpful in anyway. I love the workouts but unfortunately have had to cancel as the workouts are consistently not accessible.

### 1/5 — App constantly crashes

*2025-08-13, version 9.0.2*

The app constantly crashes when watching a video and doesn’t save your place from where you were when you go back in. It doesn’t have a calendar to plan your workouts out for the week like other apps do. I like to choose the workout I am doing each day, based on how much time I have that day and my cycle phase. I don’t need an app that picks my week for me. This is just an advertisement for Melissa Wood’s affiliate links to sell workout clothing and supplements. There are other better, fitness apps out there that are client focused and not just trying to sell sell sell. The Glow Method and ALO moves seem to have it figured out. I’m not here to do online shopping. I want to do my class and get on with my day.

### 1/5 — App crashes constantly

*2025-05-31, version 9.0.1*

Can’t get through 3 min of a work out with the app crashing. Either the screen going black or just logging me out. Really frustrating because I love these workouts.

### 1/5 — Melissa doesn’t know anatomy at all

*2025-04-24, version 9.0.1*

Melissa is not educated in body mechanics and it’s clear she does not know her anatomy from her random use of weights and random way she puts her flows together. There is no thought to progressive overload at all which would make the app sustainable for long term members. It would be so easy for someone to get injured if they don’t know body mechanics and are looking to Melissa for guidance which she doesn’t provide because she can’t speak to the body in an educated way. Her cues are bad and always the same.

### 1/5 — App NEVER works on iPad

*2024-12-04, version 8.5.9*

Got an iPad just to do these workouts and the app doesn’t work, you can’t use it, don’t waster your money. Hope this helps!! :)

### 1/5 — Auto-renewed my account and locked me out

*2024-06-05, version 8.4.10*

WARNING - I have been paying for this subscription for 5 months but when I logged in it says I have no active membership. Flagged this to customer service who have done less than nothing to help me.

Be very careful signing up.

### 1/5 — Impossible to Cancel Membership

*2024-01-23, version 8.2.9*

This is the only app I’ve ever signed up for that cannot be canceled via Apple Apps store/subscriptions. I realized it had been on auto pay after months of not using it. I then went down a rabbit hole to cancel it and couldn’t figure it out as I didn’t have my login for the website. I emailed support. They wouldn’t help me to cancel the subscription nor refund me any of the unused months. It’s unfortunate that someone who just seems so amazing is running a business like this.

### 1/5 — Greed

*2024-01-17, version 8.2.8*

Membership price increase is drastic and no longer affordable.  Hard pill to swallow against the obvious lavish and materialistic lifestyle Melissa lives (view her Instagram). Her authenticity is fading, it’s becoming clear that the $ she receives outweighs keeping followers. 

 Does anyone remember when she cared about representation and diversity for like a week, and added all these women of color to her app as instructors? I’ve never heard her mention them again.

I just can’t help but see her as greedy and phony anymore, if an instructor is going to motivate me they need to be inspiring and real.

### 5/5 — LOVE

*2026-06-05, version 9.0.16*

Truly the best workouts I’ve ever tried and they are the only classes I’ve been able to stick to for years!! I actually see results with it without killing myself in the gym

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-03-19, version 9.0.10*

I actually look forward to doing these now. I always disliked exercise and cardio. This is the perfect low impact workout. I feel very muscle in my body working. It’s only been a few weeks but this is the first workout I enjoy doing.

### 5/5 — Seit 2 Jahren aktiv dabei

*2026-02-24*

Ich mache seit 2 Jahren regelmäßig mit Melissa und Co Workouts, seit einem Jahr täglich. Es gibt einfach keine Ausreden mehr nicht jeden Tag 20-30 Minuten zu machen. Melissa und ihr Team machen das super sympathisch und kompetent. Es ist total effektiv und macht einfach Spaß! Mich motiviert der wöchentliche Plan mit den Häkchen für ein absolviertes Training und die Rezepte sind köstlich!

### 5/5 — Life Changing

*2025-07-24, version 9.0.2*

I’ve been following Melissa for years, bought her mat and all of her props when they came out, weights too, her workout outfits are on point, pretty much trust whatever she recommends but her will to move, to get there, to put in the effort! When she says “how bad do you want to feel good?!” This is it! So easy to follow, why wouldn’t you sign up?!

### 5/5 — Mom Review: Realistic Workouts for Consistency that WORK

*2025-07-05, version 9.0.2*

They offer different daily recommended workouts that are updated weekly for M-F which I LOVE because I don’t always know what I should be doing/which areas to target. All the workouts are 20ish min which is amazing because as a mom of 2 littles, have barely any time to workout. I usually do these first thing in the morning in my PJs and they are challenging but very doable so it’s motivating to stay consistent. I’ve been doing 5 days/week and for the first time in a long time I see definition in my stomach and arms!

### 5/5 — Real results!!

*2025-05-21, version 9.0.1*

I started using MWH consistently and after a month of doing around 20 minutes a day I can see changes in my waist line, arms, legs, and booty!  The results keep me motivated and excited to keep going! I can’t wait to see where I am in 6 months!  If you are looking to tone your body I highly recommend this program!

### 5/5 — Best app ever

*2025-04-21, version 9.0.1*

I am Melissa’s son this is the best app ever  subscribe and like and give five stars.This app rocks.

### 5/5 — Must have app

*2025-03-03, version 9.0*

Workouts to work for your body and mind! Also, so many healthy recipes and meditations. Really a whole lifestyle app. Couldn’t be happier with it 🤍🤍

### 5/5 — Love love love

*2025-02-01, version 8.6.1*

After trying so many apps I have found one where the instructor is so supportive and motivating. So many classes for all different levels which make your body feel fantastic. The focus is not on how wonderful my body is for display purposes, but how can I exercise to make me and my body feel good. Really appreciate this refreshing approach and the experienced guidance.

### 5/5 — Amazing for prenatal workouts

*2024-09-19, version 8.5.6*

I’ve never seen anything this robust for parental workouts at this price point! Truly an amazing value for anyone pregnant and I’m sure anyone not pregnant too, I’m excited to keep it going post natal and after that, too!
