Many people set high goals for their weight loss, but the process often seems intimidating and complicated, resulting in discouragement and noticeable lack of drive. This was the case for Becky, who has struggled with her weight and overall health at various points since she was a teenager.
Becky acknowledges she “gained a lot of weight” as a youngster and again in 2020 and 2021. As she began her weight loss journey, she found it difficult to remain consistent and motivated. Nonetheless, with the help of the WalkFit app, Becky successfully lost 20 pounds in just eight weeks.
She shared: “This is only the beginning for me, and I am very proud of what I’ve accomplished thus far. Each week, I made time to focus on myself, my health, and my objectives. Eating wholesome and satisfying meals became a priority, as did my daily walking routines.
WalkFit is a walking and weight loss app designed for individuals with busy schedules. Currently, new users can get up to 61% off their initial subscription, according to the Mirror.
User-friendly, the app provides personalized walking and weight loss plans tailored to age, weight, and fitness level. It also includes options for indoor activities if outdoor ones aren’t possible for everyone and features built-in step and calorie counters.
Becky, who hits her step goal at least five days a week, feels proud of her dedication to achieving 11,000 steps each day. The WalkFit app includes daily goals and enjoyable challenges to help users stay on track, with motivational tools like streaks, badges, and progress monitoring.
Becky said: “Some days were just absolutely freezing outside or maybe it was raining or even snowing I didn’t let that stop me. If the weather wasn’t cooperating, I got on my walking pad and I got the steps in.”
To begin using the application, users start by completing a personalised questionnaire that enables WalkFit to customise a programme based on their fitness objectives, lifestyle patterns and prior experience with exercise or weight reduction. It is accessible on iOS and Android and supports six languages including English, German, French, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese.
With the application proving particularly popular amongst women aged over 35, WalkFit was developed to demonstrate to people that walking is sufficient. “I was so terrified at the beginning,” Becky admits as she offers her advice to others in the same position.
She continued: “I was hopeful and had some belief in myself, but I was so scared. When I look at weight loss stories, I used to think ‘that will never be me’, or ‘I’m just not meant to have a story like this’, but every day that I show up for myself, I’m proving that belief wrong. You can do that too.
“You can do it, and you have to just start small. Pace around the house for five minutes every hour. Get outside for 30 minutes per day to get some steps in. Over time, the small things add up.”
If this app doesn’t suit everyone’s needs, there are other options available, such as MyFitnessPal, an all-in-one food, exercise and calorie tracker that offers both free and paid subscription options. Another alternative is the Nike Training Club App, which provides access to over 200 free workouts and targeted training programmes.
Users of the app, like Becky, have taken to Trustpilot to leave their opinions. One person said: “I am really enjoying using this app. I have lost 6lb in three weeks just by following the exercises.”
“I like the fact I can exercise at my own speed, and there are so many daily choices, I can pick what I want and what I have time for on each particular day,” said another.
Some others disagreed, as one said: “Not for me, I tried this app for 3 weeks, but found it uninspiring & I can’t see how you can really get fit and lose weight in 10 minutes a day. I contacted the company and raised my concerns, and they agreed to give me a full refund.”
Another reviewer wrote: “I’m only able to push myself daily because of this app. I like that everyday is different. So far I have no suggestions for improvement.”
