How Much Does WarriorBabe Cost?

The short answer: WarriorBabe VIP, our 1:1 online coaching for women over 40, is sold for a set term, such as 3, 6 or 12 months. You can pay in full or in installments, and it doesn't renew automatically: it ends when your term ends unless you choose to enroll again. The price depends on the term and the level of support you choose, so there isn't one number to put on this page. You get yours on a free call with a WarriorBabe advisor, and it's shown at checkout before you pay.

That's the honest answer, but it isn't a very useful one on its own. So this page covers what you get for the price, how the term and payments work, how it compares with a personal trainer or an app, and how to tell whether it's worth it for you.

What's included in WarriorBabe VIP

VIP is built only for women over 40, most of them in perimenopause, menopause or after. It's coaching, not an app or a meal plan:

• Your own coach, a real person who reviews your check-ins and changes your plan when your progress stops.
• Personal macros: calorie and protein targets set for your body, usually more food, not less.
• Strength training built around your body, your schedule and any old injuries.
• Check-ins and messaging in the WarriorBabe app, where your plan, workouts and progress live.
• Calls with your coach and the WarriorBabe community.

When you hire a coach, you're buying their time, their knowledge, and their mistakes and failures, so you don't have to repeat them. That's how Nikkiey Stott, who founded WarriorBabe, describes hiring her own coach in 2015 (episode 51).

How the term and payments work

• A set term. VIP is sold for a set term, such as 3, 6 or 12 months. Your term is the one shown at checkout when you enroll.
• Pay in full or in installments. The payment options are shown at checkout. Some checkouts also offer pay-over-time through a financing provider, which sets its own terms before you accept.
• No automatic renewal. The program ends at the end of your term unless you choose to enroll again.
• It's a commitment for the full term. If you're on a payment plan, the payments continue even if you stop taking part, so choose the term you'll actually use.

The full wording is in our Terms of Service, under WarriorBabe VIP program billing.

How it compares with a personal trainer or an app

An in-person personal trainer costs $50 to $90 a session on average in the US, about $430 to $780 a month at two sessions a week, and that usually doesn't include your food. Fitness and tracking apps cost from free to about $20 a month, with nobody adjusting your plan. 1:1 online coaching sits in between, and it usually covers your food as well as your training. The sources, and a month-by-month table, are in how much an online personal trainer costs.

Two things make the comparison fairer:

• Compare by the year, not the month. Changing your body composition takes months. Laura, 58, committed to a full year from the start, because 20-plus years of damage wasn't going to be undone in 30, 60 or 90 days (episode 230).
• Count what you've already spent. Laura was doing Orangetheory five days a week and seeing a personal trainer twice a week, on 900 to 1,100 calories a day, and couldn't lose the 15 pounds she wanted (episode 230). Melissa, 53, had tried keto, V Shred and a local metabolic weight loss program before she found a plan that tied it together (episode 234).

Is WarriorBabe worth it?

When the price made Melissa hesitate, she asked herself a different question: could she afford not to do it, and where would she be if nothing changed (episode 234)? That's the honest way to weigh it. A cheap plan you repeat for years costs more than one that works.

It's worth it if you've already tried on your own, you're ready to follow a plan for months rather than weeks, and you want someone to change your plan when it stops working. Jodi, 54, puts the difference plainly: a 12-week program won't help you after week 12 unless it teaches you why you're eating and training the way you are (episode 256).

It isn't, if you want a quick result before an event, or you'd rather work it out yourself. Some women do: Nikkiey has shared that one listener in the free WarriorBabe community lost 18 pounds just by applying what she heard on the podcast (episode 153). If that's you, start with the free calculators and the library. And with or without a coach, you still do the work: think of yourself as the driver and your coach as the navigator (episode 163).

How to get your price

Apply, and you'll book a free call with a WarriorBabe advisor. On the call you'll talk through your goals and what's held you back, and you'll hear which term and level of support fit you, and what they cost. If it isn't a fit, they'll tell you. You can apply now.
