How to Cancel Beachbody / BODi (2026 Guide) — The MLM Fitness Empire's Cancellation Maze
Updated 2026-02-24 · 6 min read
BODi (formerly Beachbody On Demand) costs $19.95/month or $179.88/year. If you also bought Shakeology supplements through a "coach," you could be paying $130-160/month for protein shakes on top of the streaming fee. The workouts are decent (P90X, Insanity, 21 Day Fix), but canceling can be confusing because Beachbody bundles products aggressively.
This is often the bigger charge. Shakeology auto-ships monthly at $130-160:
Call 1-800-470-7870 (online cancellation isn't always available for supplements)
Say "I want to cancel my Shakeology auto-ship"
They WILL try to keep you — "What if we skip a month?" "What if we give you a discount?"
Stay firm: "No, I want to fully cancel the auto-ship subscription"
Ask for email confirmation of cancellation
Check your next bank statement to verify no charge
🔴 Beachbody Coach Warning: If a "coach" signed you up, they may have bundled multiple subscriptions (BODi + Shakeology + supplements + coaching fee). Check your bank statement for ALL Beachbody-related charges. You may be paying for more than you realize. Coaches earn commissions on your purchases, which is why cancellation is made difficult.
The MLM Problem
Beachbody (now BODi) is structured as an MLM (multi-level marketing company):
"Coaches" earn commissions on product sales and recruiting other coaches
Most coaches lose money — the FTC found that 99% of MLM participants lose money
Your coach may pressure you not to cancel because it affects their commissions
The workouts themselves are good — the business model is the problem
You can get equivalent workouts free on YouTube
Free Workout Alternatives

Peloton App ($12.99/mo) — HIIT, strength, yoga, stretching. No equipment needed for many classes
Shakeology Alternatives ($130/mo → $30/mo)
Shakeology costs $4.33/serving. It's a meal replacement shake, not magic:
Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey — $1.10/serving, similar macros
Orgain Organic Protein — $1.50/serving, plant-based, available at Costco
Costco Premier Protein — $1.30/serving, ready-to-drink
DIY smoothie — Frozen fruit + banana + protein powder + milk = $1.50-2.00, better nutrition than Shakeology
