Has anyone used the beyond app?

I think you’re misunderstanding my point tho. She wants to help people with fitness and what she knows is what I took out of it… sorry if my previous message wasn’t clear enough for you but that’s what I meant

I'm sorry but can we stop with the "influencers want to help people" narrative. They're all lucrative business people, Meggan is the face of a paid subscription fitness app, fine she does a 'free' live workout now and again but it's all for exposure/clicks including on YouTube and Insta. She's not going to be holidaying in Bali and living in her Hampshire mansion by helping people free of charge is she

Has anyone used the beyond app?

To add to the above I think any influencer branded paid app is just a scam, someone mentioned on the Grace Beverley thread that the Gymshark app is really good and totally free. By the sounds of it most of the Beyond workouts are just what Meggan posts on insta/yt but dressed up in an aesthetic journalling format to keep you accountable - so depends if you want it for motivation/accountability or just want access to decent workouts

Has anyone used the beyond app?

I have in the past. It’s a nicely laid out app, but stopped my subscription as I’m trying to save money and the workouts are nothing revolutionary and similar can be found on YouTube for free. The food section is quite useful, but I didn’t feel the need to use it really, but it’s good for inspiration. Overall, if I had enough extra money to pay for it, I would, but it’s absolutely not anything that we can’t live without.

Hi! I’m currently using beyond, so I can tell you my experience with it.
First of all, Meggan is not the best PT. Of course she knows more than most people and has a certificate, her knowledge is not that great. It’s actually very easy to get a personal training certificate. Her knowledge is not up to date at all. For example: she always pushes a sumo stance for the glutes, like a sumo instead of a conventional deadlift, while it hè been proven that this doesn’t train the glute Maximus better. That said, I think her workouts are good, but not great. If you want to follow a girl where you can learn from, I suggest following Amy rookes.
The app is nice. I use it because I do want to use an app to better track my progress, hold myself accountable and change up my workouts. When I plan my own workouts I often skip certain exercises I don’t like, so an app works for that. I choose beyond because I simply like Meggan. The app has some nice features, like the journaling and you can switch exercises. I also like that you can follow a plan with the whole community at the same time.
the workouts are just like Meggan’s IG post, so there not really new.
I do suggest it if you want to step up your training tho!

Second Amy rookes, love her!!! She even has a free plan and always makes sure she does her research

I think she is a terrible advocate for mental health I mean how can she go from crying and going to her mum for therapy one week (which in itself is incredibly privileged) to posing for her wedding in a bikini the next, laughing and swim wear in morocco It gives the wrong message.

I do like meggan but one thing that really drives me mad is when she says about working long hours and how excel bores her and she hates it..
1- she gets up at whatever time, slowly gets ready with tea and Disney films. She then has a walk comes home and gets ready for the gym then she goes to the gym and then gets back showers and gets ready and then has lunch. So her work day starts at like 2pm technically, so if she’s working until 8pm is that a long day???
2- some people don’t have the privilege to have a job where they don’t spent 8 hours a day on excel and yes, it is f-ing boring but I need to make a living and this is my only option to make a decent living that I might actually get a mortgage one day.
3- she posts about how the gym will make you feel better, so “just go!!”, when some peoples only options are to go at 5/6am or go at 8/9pm or later at night after a full stressful 12 hour day and little sleep. It’s not encouraging me hearing that from someone in her position.
4- in the past on sunny days she’s just taken a day off work and went to the beach, or she’ll take a half day on date night or she will take a day off to get her hair/eyelashes/whatever done. Again not many of us have that as an option.

and yes of course I’m jealous of her lifestyle, and I don’t not think she deserves it at all. I just wish she’d think about things before complaining. Everyone has a right to feel sad and to complain but think about what you’re saying to your audience and how it might Make them feel!

She also gets paid a ridiculous amount of money for what she does and all the extra freebies. Stop moaning Meg.

No she said her mums a therapist and she was going to speak to her. She filmed her "therapy" session with her mum then deleted it cos she was called out for it.

Bikini or not it's still attention seeking - she couldn't have just posted a close up of her hair and make up


I was gonna say something similar I'm thinking that she might actually be megan or someone close to her as she's quick to defend her they might be best off on the rave thread. This thread was made so people could call her out freely for her attention seeking behaviour.

Lol I’d actually love to know meggan and be her friend but sadly I am probs just a nice person who likes to see things from a different perspective when I like someone and I do think that yes there’s loads of people out there that are doing so much wrong with their channels… feel like a lot of people haven’t actually listened to her vlog properly tho so are just misunderstanding certain things which is why I’ve been ‘quick to defend’ trust me there’s lots of people I dislike

 

[Ellyjelly]

hahaha was thinking this person was Meg!
at the end of the day no one here hates Meg shes hard to hate and you should read some other threads!! theyre brutal. But i dont have friends who follow her so why not discuss her here? No different if you were among pals. I bet she certainly has a few words to say on other influencers (ok maybe not knowing her!) Shes should take our advice instead of playing the victim all the time!!



she keeps the people around her that will not tell her the brutal truth..ie Mum, Niall, walks with dogs as therapy. Can you imagine if she had to have a real job???!!

And the saddest thing is, if she had a proper job with people who didn’t constantly tell her how amazing she is, it would make her a more rounded individual. Working/mixing with other people who have different views/beliefs, who challenge you or call you out are such great educators. That’s what lacking in Megans world and many like her.

If anyone is looking for free, no influencer bull, good quality workout content then I'd really recommend Fitness Blender on YouTube over subscribing to any influencer app or ebook.

I've used them for about 6 years (on and off due to having kids) and their workouts are really varied with a whole range of lengths, abilities, types etc. You can pay something like £8 a month to get extra videos from them on their website, but honestly you don't need to as they have hundreds of videos for free on YouTube.

I really think you're on the wrong thread here. Every single thing you've posted here was defending her questionable behaviour. Like it or not, she does some shady mit and this is the thread to discuss this. We all here went from loving her to falling out of love over her own behaviour. None if us have been mean or insulting, but rather frustrated and over it. Just because us who are fed up with her antics criticize her does not mean we're not listening. We just don't agree with her/you/her fans that she is unproblematic. You are absolutely free to disagree, but if you want people to join in with your defense and praise, you'd find that in the rave thread. Just some food for thought.

Yesss I’ve used their YouTuber page for years!

Hang on a moment (not arguing but as it’s freedom of speech) I am just saying facts from her content from her videos. I don’t think a lot of people on here listen and coming from someone who has had a lot of therapy herself it’s a little saddening because there’s comments on here from people that are saying things she already said in that vlog I am just speaking the truth with facts which is what I like to do opposed to putting out comments that have already been discussed. Just food for thought? Love that everyone on here has different opinions but I just thought it was worth defending comments that are incorrect because the people haven’t listened. That’s all. No hard feelings though

Totally agree, fitness blender is where my fitness journey started. Kelli is so beautiful and no bull

As far as I could see from your comments you were stating your opinions and redirecting to the facts that made you form said opinions. Others have argued against your opinions with why they disagree and how they formed theirs. Again, them coming to different conclusions does not mean not listening. It's more not buying it or viewing it differently. Sometimes one person thinks something is genuine, while the other thinks their being lied to or at least feel like someone is not being honest with themselves. For eg. her saying she wants to help people. You said that you think that's her genuine reason why she's doing what she is doing. At the end of the day it's her business. If she were doing it all out of the graciousness of her heart she would not afford what she has, but live a humble life and donate everything she made that she doesn't need, which she does not and does not have to do. She is making more than most people, she does not hide it and then expects everyone to thinks it's all for a Samaritan cause? Sorry, but no. I understand trying to give the benefit of the doubt and I usually try and see the good in everyone. Is she a money hungry villain that is only out to get you? Of course not. But is she calculated, insecure, inconsistent and at times questionable? Imo yeah. You can definitely engage in discussions. I was merely pointing out that your only contribution to discussion here was defending her and that's not what the rest is here for in this specific thread.

Shes annoying and a bit silly and in my opinion attention seeking and manipulates her followers into worshipping her or feeling sorry for her. And most of us here agree.We dont wish her any malice.Its really not that deep.

Did anyone see her story with the bikini you could wear 4 ways? This must be her new brand… I am confused as she’s also been teasing leggings though so maybe the brand is both?

Interested to see if this brand will actually cater to a wide range of body shapes and sizes because if her Bo+Tee collection was anything to go off it really didn’t work for those with bigger boobs and even though she modelled the range on different bodies you could tell the range didn’t fit a lot of people properly.

At the end of the day whether it's Bo+Tee or her own range, the sad reality is it will be mass produced in a third world sweat shop for women making pennies. I really hope its not but I have a sad feeling it will be.
