Weight loss can often feel like a complicated endeavour. With a rise of information – and misinformation – online, it can become an overwhelming thought for people to even begin.<\/p>\n

However, more people are realising there are modern ways using tech to drop weight and stay on top of health goals, such as 30-year-old Becky. She used the WalkFit app<\/a> and lost 20lbs in eight weeks from walking 11,000 steps a day, eating clean and healthy.<\/p>\n

“My weight and overall health has been something I’ve struggled with on and off since my teenager years,” says the New Yorker. “I gained a lot of weight while in college and I’ve been struggling to lose weight and feel really good in my body for way too long now. I knew that I wanted to challenge myself to become the healthiest version of myself by the time I turned 30. This challenge was the best way to dive head first into making that possible.<\/p>\n

This all changed when Becky started using WalkFit<\/a>. She says: “I am most proud that I got my steps in at least five days a week every week. 11K steps is a lot of steps, so I find that pretty impressive. It shows my commitment to the challenge and to myself.”<\/p>\n

“I would tell others to just start. If you are not happy where you are, then you need to make a change. Stop wasting time and just get up and start walking,” Becky adds.<\/p>\n

It is available for shoppers on iOS and Android, supports six languages – English, German, French, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese.<\/p>\n

The app has an introductory offer price of 61%, which is available for users during the first 10 minutes of the website and applied to the initial payment. Prices start from \u00a36.93 a week or \u00a315.19 for a month-long subscription using the 61% off.<\/p>\n

Customers of the WalkFit app, have rated it highly, as one person said: “I am really enjoying getting out walking every morning. I am not doing it to lose weight, I am doing it to get fit.”<\/p>\n

Another said: “Only 21 days in, but along with calorie control, have lost 5.7kg. I find it easy to follow and fit the exercises into my daily schedule. I have paid for subscription which I decided to go with as far less than a gym membership and it motivates me to follow the steps.”<\/p>\n

Some, however, didn’t feel it was quite right for them, and shared their experiences on Trustpilot<\/a>. One person wrote: “I am finding that after a couple of weeks, the workouts are getting rather repetitive and not very exciting!”<\/p>\n

But a happier customer said: “A workout program for any activity level. I’m 60+ and have been relatively inactive since the COVID debacle. I’m looking to improve my health and well-being with WalkFit. The workout tutorials you can fit to your schedule and time constraints.”<\/p>\n
