Beachbody on Demand, Les Mills Plus and MOSSA on Demand are 3 of the most robust (have the most variety) on-demand workout libraries on the market right now. So, how do you choose?

These libraries have a LOT in common so I’m going to point out the awesome features that you’ll find in each of them (I made a chart), then point out what makes each membership unique (besides their prices), the pros and cons of each one (refer to the chart), and then tell you how to choose one.

Let’s start with that chart that compares the features…

A Comparison of the Features in BOD, Les Mills+ and MOSSA on Demand

Here are a few of the nuances to pay attention to…

Instructors

All 3 on-demand libraries have a variety of pro instructors.

This is a good thing.

You’ll never get bored with an instructor.

As a member of all 3 libraries, I think you’ll find the widest diversity in body type represented among the instructors in the Les Mills library.

Workout styles

You’ll find programs for all of the most popular workouts styles in all 3 of these memberships.

Specifically you’ll find workouts for cardio, strength training, dance, barre, martial arts, yoga, step classes and spin inside all 3 of these libraries.

Ideal for who…

A brand new exerciser won’t find a ton of workout options in any of these libraries but BOD and MOSSA on Demand have the most to choose from in the beginner category.

All 3 on-demand memberships have a ton of classes for the intermediate to advanced home exerciser.

Equipment they use

All 3 of these libraries have workouts you can do with no equipment.

However, to do every workout (and get the most out of your membership) you’ll need to invest in (at minimum) a set of dumbbells and a full size workout bench.

How often are there new classes uploaded?

New classes and/or programs are introduced on a regular schedule into all 3 of these on-demand libraries.

How many workouts are there inside each library?

Beachbody on Demand, Les Mills Plus and MOSSA on Demand all have 100’s of classes in their libraries.

How long are the classes?

All 3 on-demand memberships have classes in varying lengths for whatever you’re looking for (10 min up to over an hour).

Are there live workouts with each membership?

Beachbody on Demand is the only one of these 3 on-demand memberships that has a way to stream a live class. But you have to upgrade your membership to get access to the live classes (it’s an ‘add-on’ to the base membership).

After talking with the VP of Programming and Training of MOSSA, Cathy Spencer Browning, I believe that MOSSA is working on adding this feature to their membership.

Are there workout calendars/plans available if you want one to follow?

Yes, all 3 libraries have workout calendars you can download.

So, now let’s get into what makes each plan a little bit different…

How is BOD unique? (what sets it apart from the other 2 memberships)?

Beachbody on Demand is different from many on-demand libraries in the way that it adds classes to their collection.

All of their classes (with the exception of the live classes) are added within an entire program (rather than uploaded as individual classes). For example, one of the latest Beachbody programs added to the BOD library is Fire and Flow. It’s made up of 33 individual classes that are inside the Fire and Flow program.

Each program that’s added has their own set of workout calendars and ‘theme’ (goal), workout style, instructor, etc.

Another unique aspect of the BOD membership are the nutrition plans, 2B Mindset and Portion Fix. There are additional resources for these nutrition plans if you sign up for the BODi add-on to your membership.

How is Les Mills+ unique? (what sets it apart?)

The Les Mills experience is unlike anything else on the market.

The way they pair music with the routines is unmatched and adds to the overall experience in a very unique way.

I love that the team of athletes is all-inclusive. You’ll see every age, body type and gender doing the most advanced routines.

Les Mills (and MOSSA) pride themselves on creating research-based classes ‘designed to help you fall in love with fitness‘.

And Les Mills has an entire category of routines dedicated to youth of all ages.

How is MOSSA on Demand unique? (what sets is apart?)

MOSSA sets itself apart in the on-demand industry with their focus on group classes that are packed full of functional fitness and mobility exercises.

As a user, it’s obvious to me that every move in every class has been designed with intention. No move feels forced or like ‘fluff’.

They created the M4 programming method (movement, music, motivation and metrics) on which they build every science-based class.
