Hitch Fit

• Cost: Varies by selected program

Hitch Fit specializes in total body transformation. Founded by Micah LaCerte and Diana Chaloux, who operate the Hitch Fit gym in Kansas City, Missouri, this is one of the few Online Fitness programs that gives you direct access to and support from the very people who have designed it.

Their programs are designed to help people who want to make significant changes in their health and fitness. Programs include weight loss, muscle building, couples' plans, and even bikini/fitness modeling and competition prep.

The site is a little busy, making it challenging to figure out where to start. You can browse their available programs, like Couples Bootcamp or Faithfully Fit. The easiest way to start, though, is probably be selecting whether you want to lose weight or build muscle and clicking on the yellow button for your goal. You'll then see a drop-down box that lets you get more specific, like if you prefer a vegan/vegetarian meal plan or if you're trying to lose weight before your wedding. You'll then be given recommendations for the program(s) that are the best fit for your needs.

Pricing varies depending on which program you select. For example, a 12-week program aiming for up to 30 pounds of weight loss sells for $267.99, while a 20-week muscle building plan is priced at $457.99.

Whichever plan you choose, you'll need some basic fitness equipment, either at a gym or in your home. For women, you'll need dumbbells up to 25s, a bench, and some kind of cardio equipment. For men, you should have the same, but with dumbbells up to 60s.

We strongly recommend you read the FAQs before committing to a Hitch Fit plan. Some of the details that caught us by surprise, especially when compared with other Online Fitness programs:

• You will be working directly with Hitch Fit founders, Micah and/or Diana. That means you get personalized workouts, meal plans, and feedback.
• No eating out or drinking alcohol. And, if there's a food you love that's not listed in your meal plan, you don't get to eat it during the program. If you're looking for a casual approach to getting fit, this isn't the plan for you!
• Plan on spending 7-14 hours on exercise per week on the weight loss programs, and 6-10 hours on the build muscle plans. Again, this is no whenever-you-feel-like-it program.
• No refunds. Period. You also don't get a sample workout or meal plan, to see if it would be a good fit for your goals.
• You have to submit "before" photos in order for your customized plans to be made.

So, let's say you're ready to make some big changes in your life. Does Hitch Fit deliver? Looking at their gallery of before-and-after photos, it's obvious that this Online Fitness program can work. You'll see lots of people with major weight loss and muscle gain, though many of the photos were taken at their gym in Kansas City - which means they had in-person input, workouts, and help throughout their journey.

But, when we read reviews around the web, we found some complaints. Unless you are 110% committed to the program, including regular contact with Micah and Diana, you might not get much support. One person said that they fell off the wagon for a while - and was never able to get help after that. Another subscriber said that the fitness and meal plans they were given were extremely basic and not customized at all - that they had information that's easily gotten for free from other places online. And, with no refund policy offered by Hitch Fit, you're out of luck if you try it and don't like it.

While Hitch Fit offers subscribers the ability to make major body transformations, there's a lot of room for improvement. Especially compared with other programs that are more affordable and flexible, and that are backed by a satisfaction guarantee. Hitch Fit comes up short when it comes to Online Fitness.
