Kayla Itsines is a fitness force to be reckoned with. Since launching her Bikini Body Guide last year, over one million women worldwide have done the challenge. Now, after taking over your social media feed with her BBG community, Itsines has now launched an official app.
Kayla announced Sweat with Kayla via Instagram over the weekend, many fans had already guessed it was coming – and promptly made it the number one health and beauty app in the App store within a day. Naturally.
“I created this for all my #bbg girls as a way to really bring the the community together in a new, cheaper way, while experiencing BBG and soooo much more!! I am SOOOO excited,” she wrote on Instagram.
The biggest difference? The app is slightly cheaper than her traditional guides that cost $120 for the complete 12-week collection of meal plans and workouts. Available on iTunes, Sweat with Kayla costs $55.42 (comprised of a weekly payment of $4.61 over 12 weeks). (WATCH: An easy yoga workout. Post continues after video.)
At $120 for the original guide and a reported million customers – you do the maths as to how lucrative BBG has become. While there are no official evaluations of how much Itsines is worth nor has she ever publicly released sales figures of her guides, you can expect her worth to increase dramatically with the release of the app.

Although I like the app, I decided to cancel because I thought the sticker price of $19.99 a month was a little much for an app. After cancelling, Bikini Body company charged me anyway. When I contacted CS for a refund, they refused, using the excuse that the payment already processed (well, duh, thats the problem). I think this type of business model is unethical and just tries to steal $20 from as many members as they can. And there's nothing you can do to stop them. For this reason, I would not support Kayla or any of her products. Poor form Kayla.
