For anyone out there that is skeptical, I was in your shoes about 9 months ago. I spent almost 3 months playing around with the idea of betting on myself, figuring out if HealthyWage was a legitimate company or if it was a scam, and playing around with the calculator to see what worked best for me. I finally decided I'd give it a try after seeing a video of HealthyWage on Good Morning America- I mean what was the worst that could happen? In January, I took that leap of faith. I bet $330 ($55/month) that I would lose 45 lbs in 6 months. In 6 months, I hit my personal goal and lost 46 lbs and I won $911. If there is any confusion, the $911 also included the $330 I put into it myself. The way I see it is I didn't lose $330 as that was technically my money and I profited $581. I was ecstatic to receive a check from HealthyWage within 10 days after completing my final official weigh out and submitting my Official Winner Confirmation Form! HealthyWage helped me get in the right mindset and as a working mom of 2, it feels great! HealthyWage helped kick start and motivate my weight loss journey and I am so grateful. The Customer Service was incredible and the rules/policies are very clear-cut! When you start, know you are taking a gamble. I'm so glad I bet on myself and did something that was for me for the first time in a long time!

HealthyWage is a legitimate company that allows you to pick a weight loss goal, set a time frame in which to lose weight, and set a monetary prize (based on length of time and how much you want to put in). I loved the flexibility and how everything was told to me up front - I knew exactly what I had to do to win the bet against myself. I won $1,511 for losing 45 pounds. I would recommend this to anyone and can't wait to set another goal to keep my weight loss journey going!

I had a great experience with Healthy Wage. The possibility of winning a large amount of money for losing weight was very motivating for me. The HW support staff is great to work with. I did two large challenges and more than a dozen smaller jackpot challenges and since I met the goals, HW paid out for every challenge that I participated in. This is a very legit business. I'm thrilled to have found HW and would highly recommend HW to anyone planning to lose weight.

HealthyWager was exactly what I needed for that extra push to stop giving up on losing weight. The first few weeks I made the bet, I could see I was falling behind. With a bit of money on the line and proving to my husband I can do it this time I got back into Intermittent Fasting and Extended Fasts and finally started to see results. There are chat boards in the HealthyWager app you can use to check others progress. And I can confidently say it's LEGIT! I lost 55lbs in 6 months with a $780 bet and made a profit of $1500. $2300 was in my paypal within 2 days after I sent my verification video. So fast and so easy! I loved my whole experience with Healthywager and recommend it to anyone! Take the risk on your health and use the extra prize money on yourself!

Their rules about reimbursement need to be more clear. Rules indicate a participant will have 6 months after the challenge end to lose 10% to get their entry fee reimbursed if they don't do it during the challenge. It nowhere states that even if you lose the 10% you still have to wait to weigh in 6 months later. They do this in hopes people will forget and they can keep the money. Shady business model!

Easy to use app, loved that I could set my own terms. This provided me even more motivation to lose the weight I had already been trying to lose, and I ended up actually winning my challenges! So great to get paid so you can go replace your wardrobe.

I discovered healthywage on social media. I wasn't sure if it was legit. I browsed a few sites. I came across the video on Good Morning America. I was willing to give it a try! I set the original bet for 6 months. I experienced some life changes, I ended up adding more time. Healthywage helped keep me focused and motived to lose weight. I finished my wager- even in a pandemic! Wahoo I'm excited to start a new challenge! I'll be at PITBULL concert with my cash!

Finding HealthyWage was one of the best things that ever happened to me. I placed a wager to lose 40 pounds in 9 months. I have much more than that to lose. But, I decided that breaking it up into smaller chunks was less intimidating for me. Throughout the 9 months I found so much inspiration and motivation online and with the Facebook group. If you have weight to lose, I highly recommend HealthyWage. Why not get paid for losing? I signed up for my next wager yesterday. New goal is 33 pounds in 7 months. I have no doubt about reaching that goal. Thank you HealthyWage for setting me on the path to a healthier life. I wish I could give you more than 5 stars. I look forward to continuing my journey with you.

HealthyWage is a service where you bid money for a weight loss challenge. You put in some money, and when you lose the weight, you get that money back plus a small sum above that. If you don't hit your goal, you lose everything. I joined Healthy Wage in October-November 2020 with the idea that the company was here to help encourage me to lose weight. I thought it was a great idea and a great motivator. And I was happy that this company was trying to do something good in the world. So I invested $2,000 into the program - a hefty sum under any circumstance. A few weeks into my challenge I broke my foot and had to have surgery. The surgeon said that the surgery was pretty straightforward and he would have be back to exercising in 4-6 weeks. With 5 months left in the challenge, I thought I could recover and still lose my target weight within the remaining time. However there were complications, my foot started to have massive pain. Despite that, I began working out again and attempting to continue the challenge. When the pain got too unbearable, I went back to my surgeon who determined that I require another surgery to fix the pain. At this point in time, I contacted a guy who called himself "Joe Smith" (definitely not this guys name) and asked him if I can cancel my program and they can return the money or can I extend it so that I would be able to recover and have a chance of getting my money back. I even supplied them with a doctor's note which explained the situation I am in. In both cases, I got a horrible response. They were willing to cancel my program but refused to even offer a partial reimbursement. And yes they were able to extend the challenge, but for only 3 weeks. There would be no way for me to lose 6 months with of weight in 3 weeks which means I would lose my money in this scenario well. This is insane. For a company who is supposedly designed to help people, all they are doing is hurting people and stealing their money. This is a SCAM and should be investigated by the Better Business Bureau. Shame on these guys for preying on people who need help.

My partner had started a healthy wage challenge and sent me a link worth an extra prize amount totaling $140 if I signed up for a new challenge as well. So I signed up. I never would have signed up if not for the bonus "boost" money because the prize amount was initially to low to be worth it in my opinion. Then once I paid my challenge fees I noticed they did not apply either of our prize boosts. We both emailed Healthywage and complained but they claimed we were ineligible because we have done a challenge before. No where on the details page of the bonus link did it mention that... and now they refuse to refund and cancel my transaction. SCAM!

Update 02/18/21
After reading my review here on Sitejabber the Healthywage team finally decided to acknowledge my request for a refund. They refused to even respond to my refund inquiries the first two times I asked but apparently if you publicly call them out on this website they become more receptive and a lot less hostile. I settled for a partial boost.

In response to the comment made by Healthywage: your terms are extremely unclear, a person has to dig through the site and the fine print to find it. Have better customer service and business ethics and post that information on the main page of the boost where it will actually be seen by people. And stop sending people emails for boosts that they are not eligible for. I received an email for this same boost a day after posting on this site about you not giving me the boost. Shady as F.

I like HealthyWage! It was so easy! The app made it even better. All I had to do was choose how much I wanted to lose, the time frame to lose it and how much I would wager each month. After putting in additional information, my prize was calculated. I did my verified weigh in and the weight loss journey began. This is a self-reliant, incentive program. I did not feel any pressure to spend money on any meal plans, trainers, or exercise program. I'm not sure if HealthyWage offers any of those things. I was free to lose the weight my way! I had full control! I lost 65 pounds in 12 months and won $1,285. I loved putting my weight into the app every week and seeing the progress I was making. If anyone is considering making a healthy wager, do it! It will be worth it! You have to put in the work and make it happen though!

I bet $15/month for 12 months that I could lose 22 lbs. I wound up losing 50 lbs, and Healthy Wage was so quick to pay me my $630 winnings via PayPal! I bought some new roller skates, and put the rest toward paying off a credit card. Healthy Wage was excellent extra motivation to lose the weight I needed to lose. And I'm not done yet!

I just received my $1377. 00 check. The process was exactly what they said it would be. I was going to lose the weight anyway. Why not get paid for it?

I signed up for HealthyWage and participated in at least a dozen challenges along the way. I was forced to videotape myself in front of a full-length mirror, go into the next room where I had a hard surface and could videotape myself on the scale and then proceed back into the room with the mirror since all of the rooms in my house with a full length mirror include carpeting and I live alone. This proved to be no issue for every single challenge that I've participated in, however, when it came time for the final way in (with the largest payback), they refused to accept my video because of the method in which I had to record myself. I'm out almost $1,600 because they decided that the method I had followed all along was suddenly "suspicious". If you ask me, their behavior is what is suspicious. I would absolutely not recommend this company to anyone.

App has been super helpful so far. Have lost 20 pounds already. I recommend creating your own paper version and posting it somewhere you can see it every day. Weight loss requires a lot of gradual changes to habits which takes time and it can take a while. Weight loss may be slower in the beginning while habits are being modified and then will pick up steam. The progress tracker assumes that weight loss happens at a steady pace through time and so the 'progress score' can be discouraging. Progress score may show that you are behind schedule while you in reality have plenty of time to get the weight off. Use your personal judgement to decide if you can pull it off in the time you have left. Dont let a low progress score derail you!

I have gone through 2 wagers now with Healthy Wage. Both were for 12 months and they totaled a whopping 126lbs of weight loss. My checks arrived within 14 days and throughout the whole 24 mths, Healthy Wage support team was available to answer any questions. What can I say? Money motivated me to get my overweight butt back in shape. Thanks Healthy Wage

This is such a great app! Through it you make a bet on yourself to lose weight in a healthy and reasonable amount of time (over at least 6 months) and if you meet your goal in time, you get a cash prize! You get your investment back and then some, based on the app's algorithm. I won $504 for losing 30 pounds in 9 months. Because you're paying money every month, the app helps keep you accountable and motivated. For example, I bet $20/month that I could lose the weight. I highly recommend doing a HealthyWage if you have a large amount of weight to lose!

I am so happy I came across HealthyWager last year. It was right after the holidays, I was the heaviest I'd ever been, and I was desperate to find motivation that works for me. I am highly motivated by money, so I figured I'd give this a try, and it worked! I met my goal weight (lost 30 lbs) in plenty of time to win my wager. I received my check very quickly and have loved the company and the service. HealthyWage was the catalyst I needed to find a healthier and happier way of life, and I'm now 7 lbs under my original weight loss goal.

Excellent accountability app that motivated me throughout my 50 pound weight loss. Great support from the community and metrics in the app. The payout was next day after my weigh out via PayPal. I probably would not have stuck to my weight loss journey through difficulties without the money motivation. It was great to have the prize money to spend on a trip for my 40th birthday. Very grateful this app exists. I'm much healthier and had money for new clothes :)
