Top pick, for someone who wants a written reply from the same coach every day

MyBodyTutor has not paid to appear here and there is no affiliate link on this page. Every fact below was read off mybodytutor.com, joinhampton.com on 28 August 2026. This is a buying guide, not medical advice, and it has not been clinically reviewed.

You log food and exercise every day in the app, and your assigned coach writes back the next day. The Gold plan is $399 a month, published openly.

MyBodyTutor: the three published plan tiers, part-way down the join page, as it looked on 28 August 2026

The full ledger

14 fields. Every one resolves to a value, a conditional answer, not offered, not disclosed, or not verified. None is left blank and none is filled from a third party unless the note says so.

Price per month
Gold $399/mo, Platinum $599/mo, Diamond $899/mo

Published openly on the page the site's own navigation labels 'Pricing', with no quiz, application or sales call in front of it. Platinum adds '3 Check-in Phone Calls Per Week' and Diamond adds 'Daily Scheduled Calls for Max Accountability'. A fourth tier, Silver at $299/mo, sits on a page that is reachable but not linked from the navigation; it drops written feedback to four days a week and the terms of use exclude it from the money-back guarantee.

Longer term rate
Gold $3,990/yr, Platinum $5,990/yr, Diamond $8,990/yr; semi-annual Gold $2,394 for 7 months

Only the semi-annual deal is mentioned on the main pricing page, as 'Ready to commit for 6 months? You'll get one month added for free. Our semiannual plan is $2,394.' The 12-month rates sit on a separate sign-up page that the navigation does not link to and that was located through the company's own sitemap. Prepaid terms are billed upfront.

Minimum commitment
None

Stated as 'There's no need to worry about contracts or minimum commitments with us. You're free to make changes to your plan whenever you want. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel at any time.' This is the loosest commitment of any premium-priced service in this dataset.

Cancellation notice
Cancel at any time, effective at the end of the current paid term

The terms of use state: 'You can cancel your subscription at any time by contacting our customer service at sos@mybodytutor.com, or by notifying your assigned tutor. Your cancellation will take effect at the end of the current paid term.' No number of days of notice is required. Prepaid semi-annual and annual memberships do not lapse at the end of the term; they convert automatically to a monthly membership at the monthly rate in effect when the prepaid term was bought.

Coach credential
Not disclosed

This is the field a reader should weigh most heavily here, and the company is unusually direct about it. Its own hiring page states: 'At MyBodyTutor, we're not necessarily looking for a string of certifications or years of experience. We want the right person. All of our coaches go through an extensive training program, and we offer our Mindset, Psychology, and Habits (MPH) Accountability Coach Certification.' The client-facing FAQ says only that 'we only hire the best and most experienced coaches and then provide them with extensive training in our philosophies and methods'. The only certification named anywhere is the company's own, which is not a regulated credential. Individual coach pages do carry varied qualifications, including NASM, ACE and ISSA personal training certificates, Precision Nutrition, health coach certificates, a licensed physical therapist and a licensed marriage therapist, but no single credential is required of the roster. All 85 published coach profiles were read on 28 August 2026 and none identified the coach as a Registered Dietitian.

Assigned human
Yes, one assigned coach

Clients fill in a questionnaire and are then paired with a named tutor, described as 'your very own coach' rather than a support queue. The company states 'Since 2007, only a handful of clients have requested a new tutor', and a client who wants a different one can ask. Every coach is stated to be a person: 'Our coaches are 100% human. No bots. No scripts. No AI pretending to care.'

Contact cadence
Daily: you log every day, your coach writes back the following day

The company answers this concretely rather than leaving 'daily' as a slogan: 'Every day, you'll be sharing what you ate and what you did for exercise, if it was an exercise day, in our easy-to-use mobile app or website. Then, the following day and every day after, your very own coach will write back to you with personalized feedback, suggestions, and encouragement.' A separate plan page puts a number on it, describing Gold as '7 days of accountability and 7 days of expert feedback a week' against Silver's four feedback days. So the daily element is a written coach reply, not a live conversation, at the $399 tier. Every tier also includes an opening phone consultation; phone calls recur three times a week on Platinum and daily on Diamond. This is the most frequent scheduled contact of any service in this dataset.

Contact channel
Written daily log and coach reply through the BodyTutor app on iOS and Android or the mydailyfeedback.com website; an opening phone consultation on every tier, plus recurring phone calls on Platinum and Diamond
Prescribes medication
Not offered

The company sells GLP-1 coaching but does not prescribe. Its GLP-1 page is headed 'Your Doctor Manages the Medication. We Build the Habits That Stick.' and is addressed to people who already hold a prescription.

Requires lab work
Not offered

No lab work is part of the program, consistent with a service that does not prescribe.

Bills insurance
Not offered

No insurance billing is offered or mentioned anywhere on the site. Payment is by Visa, Mastercard, American Express or Discover, and the company states 'All payments shall be in U.S. dollars.' This is a cash-pay service.

Published outcome data
Not offered

No outcome study, peer-reviewed or internal, was found. The company does publish numbers, and they need reading with care. Its FAQ claims 'Our success rate is well over 98%' with no definition of success, no sample and no method, and its comparison table lists 'Guaranteed results' as a feature. A separate page states that 'out of the thousands of people we've worked with, only about 1% have asked for a refund', which measures refund requests rather than weight outcomes. The other figures on the site, '7,500+ Happy Clients', 100-plus before-and-after case studies and a third-party Reviews.io profile, are operating statistics and customer reviews, not outcome data.

Founded
2007

Confirmed from the company's own pages rather than press reporting. The founder's story page states 'I quit my job in January of 2007 to start MyBodyTutor', and every page footer reads '© 2007 - 2026 My Body Tutor, Inc.' That makes it the second oldest service in this dataset after WeightWatchers.

Ownership
Founded and still led by Adam Gilbert; the operating company is My Body Tutor, Inc.

Gilbert is named on the site as 'Founder & Chief Body Tutor' and appears on the current coach roster, so the founder remains active in the business. No acquisition, outside investor or parent company was found in any source. Third-party reporting describes the company as built 'without a single round of funding'. The share ownership itself is not published, so independence is reported rather than documented.

What the review platforms say

This is a third-party figure, read off the platform on the date shown and reported as a fact about that platform. It is not a score this guide worked out, and it cannot be lined up against the other entries. Why these numbers do not compare.

5.0 / 5720 reviews on Reviews.iochecked

Whether the company invites reviews could not be established from the profile.

The Reviews.io report was checked and is correct. The page is at the www.mybodytutor.com store slug, not the bare domain, and it shows 5.0 from 720 reviews with the line '100% of reviewers recommend MyBodyTutor.' Reviews carry Verified Buyer badges and the page says 'Collected by REVIEWS.io', with the collection flow describing an email verification step and noting that the reviewer's email may be shared with the company to verify the order. That is an order-linked, merchant-installed integration the company pays for, so the reviews are almost certainly purchase-triggered, but the page does not state an invitation policy the way Trustpilot does, so solicitation is left as unknown. Treat a 5.0 with a 100% recommend rate as evidence of the collection method as much as of the service. MyBodyTutor also has a separate Trustpilot profile showing 4.9 from 69 reviews, claimed in February 2021, with no recent history of asking for reviews, at https://www.trustpilot.com/review/mybodytutor.com.

The verdict

Suits someone who wants a written reply from the same coach every single day and can pay $399 a month for it, and does not suit a reader who wants a licensed nutrition professional, because the company states it does not require its coaches to hold outside certifications.

Flaws but not dealbreakers

The service charges more than every other cash-pay coaching option here except RP Strength's top tier, while stating on its own hiring page that it does not require coaches to hold outside certifications, and no coach on the 85-person public roster is identified as a Registered Dietitian. The '100% risk-free' guarantee is narrower than the phrase suggests once the terms of use are read: the promise to pay for a better-fitting program is capped at $60, only one refund is allowed per person for life, and the guarantee pages add conditions, including submitting a daily log before midnight and raising any concerns within the first two weeks. The '98% success rate' and 'Guaranteed results' claims carry no published definition, sample or method behind them.

What was verified

Every cell in the ledger above marked as a value or as conditional was read off one of the 10 pages listed under sources, on . Nothing was taken from a review aggregator, a coupon site or a third-party blog, with one exception that is stated in the note on each affected field.

Nobody enrolled in MyBodyTutor, paid it, or spoke to it. What is below is what the company is willing to put in writing on its own site, which is a narrower claim than whether the service works.

What was not verified

6 things could not be confirmed. They are listed here rather than filled with a plausible value. If you have first-hand information on any of them, the corrections address is in the footer.

  • coachCredentials: no external certification is required, and the only certification the company names is its own in-house MPH Accountability Coach Certification

  • Per-coach credentials before purchase: profiles are public, but a buyer is matched after joining and cannot choose a coach by qualification beforehand

  • publishedOutcomeData: the 'well over 98%' success rate is published with no definition, sample size or method, so it could not be checked

  • owner: independence rests on the absence of any acquisition or funding record plus third-party reporting, not on a company statement of ownership

  • priceAnnual: the 12-month rates are live but are not linked from the navigation or the main pricing page, so a reader is unlikely to find them unaided

  • Silver tier pricing: the $299 figure was read from the sign-up page's plan data rather than from displayed marketing copy
