Weight-loss coaching programs aren’t what they used to be. Technology has grown to the point that you can get the interaction that you’d typically find in person through something as small as an app.

Let’s take a look at the Top 5 Weight-Loss Coaching Programs.

#1 Noom

At the top of the list of best weight-loss coaching programs is Noom. Noom takes every part of weight-loss and fitness coaching from hundreds of other apps and packages them in a bright, interactive, easy-to-use platform that just works.

The doctors who created Noom were concerned that clinically-proven options for weight-loss weren’t available. So, instead of waiting for technology to catch up to the needs of people trying to lose weight, they set the standard for weight-loss coaching apps, and no one is coming close.

Research on Noom that partnered with more than 35,000 participants showed, without a doubt, that this weight-loss app is effective. (Scientific Reports)

#2 Ideal Weight

Ideal Weight is one of the more basic weight-loss coaching programs on our list, but the simplicity and beauty of design push it toward the top of the list. Ideal Weight focuses on weight and body mass index (BMI) tracking. What’s nice is that you can see where you are, where you’re heading and where you’ve come from with beautiful graphs and color-coded advice.

The app is free, but in-app purchases are available.

#3 Fitness Buddy

If you can’t get to the gym for a personal training session, Fitness Buddy offers an alternative. From the ease of an app, you can choose from hundreds of workouts, both for home and the gym, variations on exercises, meal plans, and more. The detailed fitness tracking really sets this weight-loss coaching program apart.

The app is free, but in-app purchases are available.

#4 Jefit

Climbing the list of top weight-loss coaching programs is JeFit. JeFit is another fitness app with home and gym workouts, but more than 3500 programs are currently available. You can even create a personalized fitness program. JeFit boasts of more than 43 million completed workouts and more than 7 million users.

The app is free. There’s no mention of a fee or in-app purchases at this time.

#5 Strava

Rounding out the list of top weight-loss coaching programs is Strava. While the program focuses on running, cycling, and swimming, it’s the integrated social network that sets it apart. You can track workouts, analyze how the effectiveness of the workout based on heart rate, and even share pictures of your route in your friends’ feed.

The app is free, but in-app purchases are available.

Topping the list of best weight-loss coaching programs is Noom. Take the app for a drive with a free trial offer.
