Equalution 4+

Years ago I had tried out equalution (back before there was an app) and I was so pleased with my results and also the consistent support of was given by the equalution team to meet my goals. Fast forward to now, i was 6 months post partum with my second baby and I was just so unhappy with my eating habits and knew I needed a change. First and foremost, I definitely had a poor diet and frequently skipped meals because I couldn’t find the time to make quick and nutritious meals (as a breastfeeding mum I knew I needed better food in my diet but just didn’t know where to start). I was constantly over eating at night once the kids were down and it generally was junk. I was so unhappy with how I looked in the mirror and none of my clothes fit right. I needed a change for my overall health and thought I should give equalution a go, it worked the first time so what’s the harm in trying again post partum. All I can say is I cannot thank the team enough for their support in getting me feeling myself again - I’m eating consistently good food and frequently throughout the day which is not only great for me but also for my baby who’s main source of nourishment comes from me. My amazing coach consistently motivates me and supplies me with the most delicious meal plans and I’m heading into week 4 of my 8 week challenge 4 Kilos lighter and feeling fitter and more energetic than ever before. Can’t recommend these guys enough!

I’ve been seeing Equalution popping up on my Instagram socials for years but wasn’t too sure about trying it as I’ve tried a few before. I finally made the decision to try 6 weeks ago and it’s been the best decision I’ve made, best place to offer meal plans! They are absolutely delicious and cater to all your needs and wants YUM! I get so excited seeing what I have had whipped up each week. My coach has been so helpful, answers any questions promptly and has made it budget friendly being a single mum of two it has been needed. You actually look forward to check in day because even if it’s not the best results or you’ve had a bad day they pump you up and give you the boost to know you’ve got this and can smash your goals! I also love that every week my coach gives me a little check list to help keep me accountable. I can’t wait to continue on and keep seeing more improvements in my mental and physical relationship with food.

I bought this app and have had nothing but issues with it. I have used My Fitness Pal for years and love it. So simple to understand and intuitive. Eq is hard to navigate, water and food are on different tabs, the archive of foods is very lacking and regularly displays incorrect calories. There seems to be a timeframe on how long I have to respond to a coach’s message- if I’m too slow it locks off and all I can do is start a new message thread. And I can only choose pre prepared messages that are not suitable. There’s no free text. Check ins can only be on weekdays so I can’t get a new meal plan on the weekend when I’m doing my grocery shopping. When you select a meal swap, you can’t go back to the original meal again. It’s gone. About 70-80% of the meals have to be prepared fresh. I have asked for meal prep lunches and dinner but they never showed up. The tab where you are supposed to put a weekly photo and measurements is rubbish - I can’t see where to update and when. There were no instructions provided about exactly what I have to do on which days and how to add the info. Check in is just a text message. I could go on but I can’t be bothered. An expensive app and a complete waste of money. Don’t bother.
