Based on other buyer's searches, these are the products that could be a good fit for you.
A product’s price can vary greatly based on features needed, support or training required, and customization requests. Some vendors want a chance to talk to you before being ruled out for pricing. When you find a product that fits your needs, you should talk to the vendor to figure out what they can offer.
Reviewers find the convenience of home exercises and the short, effective routines offered by Optimity to be beneficial for their health. They appreciate the ability to perform exercises anywhere and at any time, which helps them stay focused and energized throughout the day. On the downside, some users struggle with the repetitive nature of the exercises and find certain tasks irrelevant or difficult to complete, which can diminish their overall experience.
Users value the encouragement to stay active provided by Optimity's activity reminders, which include notifications and daily exercise prompts. They find these reminders helpful for maintaining an active lifestyle and appreciate the regular prompts to get up and move around. Nevertheless, some users feel overwhelmed by the excessive reminders and encounter issues with notification functionality, leading them to disable the feature and potentially stop using the app.
Pros
I use the free Optimity app on my Smartphone & I love it. It gives very amazing advice & helps me keep track of my healthy daily lifestyle.
I have learnt how important it is to exercise and eat better after this app which again is very important.
Also, the Reward system is straight forward and easy to redeem. 1 last thing, I really appreciate the UI animations, let the person(s) who worked on it know that they've done an magnificent job.
I like the fun ways the app motivates me to be more active, the connectivity options, and the rewards.
Cons
The app itself can be difficult to navigate. Additionally, there is no proof that needs to be submitted when an activity is completed.
I found the pop-up notifications to be a bit excessive and was forced to turn them off, which is turn made me stop using the app. As frequently as i was before.
Gets boring after a while. To many pictures to take and text to read.
I dislike the fact that you cannot enter a workout other than steps.
"really enjoy this app and has really helped me become more active"
Overall: lost weight, and became more fit
Pros: Easy to use, can link it to other apps I use that are related. I never go a day without using the app
Cons: a few times, there have been issues claiming a reward or syncing your steps with other apps such as Fitbit
"Easy to use - good amount of variety in activities"
Pros: it's simple to use, i like the notifications and reminders. I also like the variety of things offered via the app - would like to see more options for rewards, or tracking other things than steps
Cons: the water tally is annoying, seems like there could be an easier way to capture that. if you could take screenshots from your phone for alarms, music challenges it would be so much easier grocery list challenge never works
"Not as advertised"
Overall: Often behind in tracking from a FitBit. Will not continue with Optimity if the More Rewards are no longer offered, reloaded, and redeemable
Pros: App based. Daily activities. Tracking OK
Cons: App is glitchy. Support…meh. Joined as it offered “gems to More Points” option. More Points are always “out of stock” in past 2 months. Reload of More Points based EST at noon…..say what!? Yes, middle of workday. But I have not seen any reloaded, always out of stock when I go to redeem. Either some members are redeeming more than their share or Optimity is not actually reloading
Vendor Response
"Optimity is a great program. It provides wonderful incentives for employees. "
Pros: I enjoy the rewards. Optimity provides great incentives for employees to stay active. This is important, especially for people who sit all day in desk jobs. I'm glad that my employer offers fitness incentives, including Optimity, to its employees because I feel that active employees are more productive.
Cons: The activities are often repetitive. I would love to see more variety. Our employer offers fitness training to all employees but we don't get Optimity points for participating but I think we should. One small problem I have noticed for the past few months is that new rewards are rarely available to cash in. Perhaps the process for this could be facilitated so that rewards are more readily available.
"Easy to use and support is very responsive."
Pros: Ease of the application. I like that the daily goals are easy to implement and keeps you on track. Great app.
Cons: I find it slightly challenging to find custom goals. I have had to ask for assistance in scrolling to find a custom company daily goal.
