Daily Burn is a subscription-based fitness website for at-home workouts and programs. It costs $14.99 per month for access to a once-daily live workout that’s available for 24 hours after it airs, as well as an extensive library of workouts that can be viewed at any time. Daily Burn workouts can be streamed to your TV via Apple TV, Roku, Chromecast, or Amazon Fire; and there's an app for iOS or Android.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Slick, clean interface: The pages aren't cluttered with too many links, ads, or information.
  • Easy to use: You can sign up and get started any time, and the site’s interface is very user-friendly.
  • Daily live workout: This is a great feature that allows you to get that gym class camaraderie feeling without leaving your home, which can be motivating.
  • Engaging and effective programs and workouts: The variety of workouts and personal tracking options can help keep you motivated.

Cons

If there's one additional thing we'd like from the site, it would be the ability to do any workout from any program. Once you choose a program, or it's chosen for you, the only way to access other workouts is to change your program.

Our Take

Daily Burn is a sleek, well-designed workout website with a wide variety of workouts and programs. As you'll see in this Daily Burn review, there's something for everyone, whether you want to pick and choose a workout from day to day or try a longer-term program designed by one of Daily Burn's personal trainers.​

The most recognizable of those trainers is Bob Harper of "The Biggest Loser" fame. For $14.99 a month, you get unlimited access to his and other programs, all available on just about any device—your smartphone, tablet, computer, or TV.

Daily Burn Features

  • A new live workout each day that's available for 24 hours on-demand
  • The ability to chat with other users while you're working out, which can make your workout more fun
  • Your own personal coach you can contact any time about workouts, diet, and more
  • Nutritional resources on the website and blog
  • Access to Daily Burn: Life, a website that includes informative articles on everything from fitness and health to lifestyle, as well as tracking apps
  • A library where you can keep track of the workouts you've completed
  • A huge variety of programs to choose from; some are several weeks long and range from yoga and cardio to Pilates and core
  • Workouts for every fitness level and schedule

If you’re not sure which programs and classes to select, Daily Burn can make recommendations based on your profile information.

The Basics

Daily Burn used to be a big, complicated tracking website with everything from meal tracking to workouts to calendars and more. Now, it's streamlined so that it's more about workouts than anything else.

When you sign up, you can get a 30-day free trial, which is a nice feature. As you fill out your profile information, you have the option of letting Daily Burn choose a program for you.

For example, if you say you're advanced and you want 60-minute workouts, the algorithm will probably recommend Bob Harper's program, Black Fire.

Using Daily Burn is easy. You can do it on your computer, Apple TV, Roku, your smartphone, tablet, or just about any other gadget out there that lets you stream videos.

The Programs

The real meat of Daily Burn is its huge variety of programs. Rather than offering a list of workouts (which, frankly, would also be nice), everything is packaged into programs lasting from two weeks up to eight weeks. They have some obviously killer programs, if the names are any indication—Inferno, Live to Fail, and Bob's Black Fire, to name a few.

They also have one excellent program specifically designed for beginners. It's very well thought out, taking people brand-new to exercise through different phases of fitness, starting with mobility and stability and working up to more strenuous workouts.

Final Verdict

Overall, Daily Burn is a great choice for people who want a structured exercise program to follow at home. There is such a wide variety of workouts and instructors that almost anyone can find something that works for them. Daily Burn also offers online support and lets you track your workout stats and progress, which can help keep you motivated. 

Note: Daily Burn is owned by IAC, the parent company of Verywell Fit.
