Daily Burn and Les Mills+ are both video-workout subscriptions, but they’re built around different ideas of what a subscription should include: Daily Burn pairs its workout library with 1:1 nutrition coaching for $19.99\/month, while Les Mills+ licenses the choreographed class formats taught in gyms worldwide — BODYPUMP, BODYCOMBAT, RPM — for $6.99–$14.99\/month, with no nutrition coaching built into the subscription.<\/strong> If you want one price that covers workouts and food guidance together, Daily Burn is the simpler fit. If you specifically want the studio-class formats Les Mills is known for and don’t need nutrition help bundled in, Les Mills+ is the stronger choice. Here’s how the two compare on cost, workout content, coaching, and who each one actually suits.<\/p>\n

Cost: one price vs. two tiers<\/h2>\n

Daily Burn charges a single $19.99\/month<\/strong> for the full membership — workout library and nutrition coaching together, no tier decision to make.<\/p>\n

Les Mills+ splits into two plans. Base<\/strong> runs $6.99\/month (or $59.99\/year) and covers 16 of the 20+ programmes, capped at three workouts per programme, streaming on web and mobile only. Premium<\/strong> runs $14.99\/month (or $119.99\/year) and unlocks the full 2,000+ workout catalog, every programme — including BODYPUMP and the cycling formats Base leaves out — plus TV streaming, downloads for offline use, and workout history.<\/p>\n

Bottom line on cost:<\/strong> Les Mills+ Base is the cheapest entry point of the two by a wide margin, but it’s a genuinely reduced catalog. Comparing full access to full access, Les Mills+ Premium ($14.99\/month) still undercuts Daily Burn ($19.99\/month) — the gap is what Daily Burn’s price includes that Les Mills+’s doesn’t: nutrition coaching.<\/p>\n

Annual billing narrows the gap slightly. Les Mills+ Premium’s annual plan works out to roughly $10\/month when paid upfront, and Base’s annual plan works out to about $5\/month — both meaningful savings over paying monthly. Daily Burn’s $19.99\/month price already reflects the current rate with no separate annual discount tier to factor in, so the comparison stays simple: one price, paid however you prefer.<\/p>\n

Workouts and content<\/h2>\n

Daily Burn’s approach<\/h3>\n

Daily Burn organizes its library into structured, multi-week programs spanning strength, HIIT, cardio, Pilates, yoga, mobility, and walking, plus Daily Burn 365<\/strong>: a rotating, trainer-led class released every day so there’s always something new to press play on without picking from a menu. Most programs need little to no equipment, which keeps the platform usable in a hotel room or a small apartment as easily as a home gym.<\/p>\n

Les Mills+’s approach<\/h3>\n

Les Mills+ streams the same class formats taught in thousands of gyms worldwide: BODYPUMP (barbell strength), BODYCOMBAT (martial-arts-inspired cardio), RPM (indoor cycling), BODYBALANCE (yoga, Pilates, and tai chi blended together), CORE, and more — 20+ programmes with new releases added weekly on Premium. Each programme has its own instructors and choreography, so the experience is closer to walking into a specific studio class than following a single house style. Some formats assume equipment (a barbell and plates for BODYPUMP, a stationary bike for RPM or Sprint); several others, like BODYCOMBAT and CORE, need nothing but floor space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Nutrition coaching: the real dividing line<\/h2>\n

This is where the two platforms diverge most. Every Daily Burn membership includes 1:1 nutrition coaching<\/strong> as part of the standard price — there’s no separate purchase or tier to unlock it.<\/p>\n

Les Mills+’s app subscription, at either tier, doesn’t include nutrition coaching, meal plans, or a calorie calculator tied to your workouts. Les Mills does sell a separate coached program (roughly $179 for four weeks or $299 for eight weeks) with an intro call, weekly video check-ins, and nutrition recommendations — but that’s an add-on purchase on top of the app subscription, not something a Les Mills+ membership includes by default.<\/p>\n

If nutrition guidance bundled into your monthly price matters to you, that’s a Daily Burn advantage the comparison table can’t fully convey with a single row.<\/p>\n

Format and coaching style<\/h2>\n

The two platforms feel different day to day, separate from what’s in the library. Daily Burn leans on a small, consistent roster of trainers across its programs, plus the 1:1 nutrition coaching that runs alongside your workouts — the idea is a single, guided experience where the workout and the food guidance are talking to each other rather than living in separate apps.<\/p>\n

Les Mills+ leans the other way: each programme is its own self-contained format with its own instructors, choreography, and release schedule, closer to how the classes run in a physical gym. BODYPUMP has a different feel and a different instructor pool than BODYCOMBAT or BODYBALANCE, and Premium members get new releases across the catalog every week. That variety is a draw if you like switching formats often, but it also means there’s no single coach or program guiding you start to finish — you’re assembling your own mix from the catalog rather than following one structured path.<\/p>\n

Who should choose each<\/h2>\n

Daily Burn fits you if<\/strong> you want workouts and nutrition coaching under one membership and price, prefer equipment-free training you can do anywhere, and like having a daily class picked for you rather than browsing a catalog.<\/p>\n

Les Mills+ fits you if<\/strong> you specifically want the licensed studio formats — BODYPUMP, BODYCOMBAT, RPM — that Les Mills is known for from in-person classes, you’re comfortable handling nutrition on your own or paying separately for coaching, and you don’t mind choosing your own workout from a large catalog instead of following a set program.<\/p>\n

FAQ<\/h2>\n

Is there a free trial for Les Mills+?<\/h3>\n

Yes. Les Mills+ offers a genuine 30-day free trial for new customers on both Base and Premium. Daily Burn takes a different approach: every membership is backed by a money-back guarantee, so you can try it risk-free and get your money back if it’s not for you.<\/p>\n

Does Les Mills+ include nutrition coaching?<\/h3>\n

Not as part of the standard app subscription. Les Mills sells a separate coached nutrition program with weekly check-ins for an additional cost. Daily Burn includes 1:1 nutrition coaching in every membership at no extra charge.<\/p>\n

Do I need equipment for either platform?<\/h3>\n

Most of Daily Burn’s library needs no equipment. Les Mills+ is mixed: bodyweight-only formats like BODYCOMBAT and CORE need nothing, but BODYPUMP calls for a barbell and plates (or a resistance band substitute) and the cycling formats need a stationary bike.<\/p>\n

Which is cheaper, Daily Burn or Les Mills+?<\/h3>\n

Les Mills+ Base, at $6.99\/month, is the cheapest entry point, but it locks out BODYPUMP and the cycling formats and caps you at three workouts per programme. Comparing full-catalog access, Les Mills+ Premium ($14.99\/month) is still less than Daily Burn ($19.99\/month) — the difference is that Daily Burn’s price includes nutrition coaching and Les Mills+’s doesn’t.<\/p>\n

Can I switch from Les Mills+ Base to Premium later?<\/h3>\n

Yes, Les Mills+ lets you change tiers, though you’ll pay the Premium rate going forward rather than a blended price. If you start on Base and find yourself wanting BODYPUMP or the cycling formats it excludes, upgrading unlocks the full catalog immediately.<\/p>\n

Does either platform work without home gym equipment?<\/h3>\n

Daily Burn is built for this — most of its programs assume nothing beyond your bodyweight and maybe a mat. Les Mills+ works for equipment-free training too, through formats like BODYCOMBAT, CORE, and BODYBALANCE, but the catalog also includes formats (BODYPUMP, RPM, Sprint) that are built around equipment you won’t have without buying or renting it separately.<\/p>\n
