Daily Burn is the cheaper, more well-rounded choice for most people — a $19.99/month video program library plus 1:1 nutrition coaching, with nothing to book and nowhere to travel. Barry’s X is the choice for HIIT loyalists who want the actual Barry’s Bootcamp workout — treadmill-and-floor interval training — on demand, for $39.99/month with no nutrition coaching included. They’re both on-demand apps, but built around very different formats: Daily Burn spans HIIT, strength, cardio, Pilates, yoga, and low-impact training, while Barry’s X is one format, done one way, at double the price.

Cost: Nearly Double for a Single Format
Daily Burn is $19.99 a month, backed by a money-back guarantee so there’s no risk in trying it. Barry’s X runs $39.99 a month — more than double — for access to on-demand versions of the studio’s signature treadmill-and-floor class. There’s no introductory trial: Barry’s own membership terms describe the subscription as non-refundable, though you can cancel the auto-renewal at any time before your next billing date.
Which Costs Less?
Daily Burn, clearly, both in sticker price and in what you get for it. A year of Daily Burn runs about $240; a year of Barry’s X runs about $480 for one workout format. If HIIT-style treadmill intervals are the only thing you want, Barry’s X delivers the real Bootcamp class at home — but you’re paying a premium for a single style, not a full program library.
Format and Programming
Daily Burn is a video-led library: curated multi-week programs across HIIT, strength, cardio, Pilates, yoga, and low-impact training, organized by goal, difficulty, and time. Barry’s X is narrower by design — it’s the same treadmill-and-floor interval structure Barry’s Bootcamp studios are known for, translated to on-demand video, with new classes released monthly and instructor cues throughout.
Who the Format Fits
Barry’s X suits people who already love the Bootcamp format and want it without a studio membership or a class schedule to work around — ideally with a treadmill and some weights at home, since the workouts are built around that setup (modifications exist, but it’s not the same without the equipment). Daily Burn suits people who want variety across workout styles and don’t want to commit to one format or buy equipment to get started.
Nutrition and Mindfulness
Daily Burn membership includes 1:1 nutrition coaching and a meditation category as standard parts of the subscription. Barry’s X is workout content only — nutrition guidance isn’t part of the app, and the FAQ makes no mention of coaching beyond the Fuel Bar product line sold at physical studios, which isn’t part of the digital membership.
Who Should Choose Barry’s X
- Existing Barry’s Bootcamp fans who want the studio’s exact format at home.
- People set up with a treadmill and weights who’ll actually use the equipment the workouts are built around.
- HIIT purists who don’t want Pilates, yoga, or strength-only days mixed into their routine.
Who Should Choose Daily Burn
- Anyone who wants variety across HIIT, strength, cardio, Pilates, yoga, and low-impact training.
- Members who want nutrition guidance and meditation content built in as part of the same $19.99/month membership.
- Buyers who don’t want to commit to one studio’s format or pay a premium for it.
- Anyone who wants a guarantee instead of a non-refundable membership — Daily Burn is backed by a money-back guarantee.
The Bottom Line
Barry’s X is a good fit if the Bootcamp treadmill-and-floor class is specifically what you’re after and you have the equipment for it. For nearly everyone else, Daily Burn costs less than half as much, covers more workout styles, and adds nutrition coaching Barry’s X doesn’t offer at all.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Daily Burn or Barry’s X cheaper?
Daily Burn, by a wide margin. It’s $19.99 a month, backed by a money-back guarantee, versus $39.99 a month for Barry’s X — more than double, for one workout format instead of several.
Does Barry’s X have a free trial?
No. Barry’s own FAQ and App Store listing describe the $39.99/month membership as non-refundable, with no introductory trial period — you can cancel future renewals, but there’s no trial window or refund on charges already made. Daily Burn doesn’t offer a free trial either — every membership is backed by a money-back guarantee instead.
Do I need a treadmill for Barry’s X?
Not strictly — Barry’s X offers modifications for the treadmill segments — but the workouts are built around Barry’s signature treadmill-and-floor structure, so you’ll get the most out of it with one, plus a set of weights.
Does Daily Burn offer live classes?
No. Both Daily Burn and Barry’s X are on-demand video, not live-streamed.
Does Barry’s X include nutrition coaching?
No. Barry’s X is workout content only. Daily Burn includes 1:1 nutrition coaching as part of every membership.
Is Barry’s X worth it if I’ve never taken a Barry’s Bootcamp class?
It can work, but it’s built for people who already know and want that specific HIIT format. Someone newer to structured workouts, or who wants more variety while they figure out what they like, will likely get more out of Daily Burn’s broader program library at less than half the cost.
