“Just the motivation I needed”

Alexandra F.
1/13/24

I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience with HealthyWage. I tried to lose weight for many years without any long-term success. Betting on myself was the motivation I needed to finally meet my weight loss goals and make a sustainable lifestyle change. I lost over 90 pounds and won nearly $10,000. The investment I made paid off in so many more ways than one.

“HealthyWage Weight Review Is a Scam”

Sarah I.
1/1/24

I have paid healthywage for over a year and every time I send them a weight loss video they find something wrong with it. The first video they said my feet were not level and now my most recent video they said I didn't do the side by side view as evidence. Instead of letting me submit a new video they are requiring me to do my verification via zoom. Which is fine but they are giving me a specific window to do so. I am giving them a time for a zoom meeting but I have a suspicion this won't be good enough and they will find a way to keep my money. Watch out, they won't follow through with payment.

I was ready. I bet a bit more than I had to spend...I actually waged my vacation money so if I lost, there would be no Alaska cruise this summer. They set me up to succeed. I wanted to win the money so I took advantage of all they had to offer! I did smaller wages within my bigger on so that I would stay accountable and not procrastinate, I joined the Facebook page and fully engaged in the in-app chat support. I learned to many new recipes, way to stay motivated, new habits to shoot for. I just joined another one to lose a bit more weight. I'm soooooo happy that I FINALLY found something that worked for me! Thank you Healthy Wage!

HealthyWage is NOT a scam. We paid out over $7.6 million dollars to winners in 2023 alone! Our Referee Team is obligated to ensure compliance with HealthyWage Policies and to review and certify the results of the HealthyWager Challenge. We were really excited to see her come through again as a possible winner on December 18,2023. When we completed the review on December 19, we did have to contact her again as the video had a missing step, making it non-compliant with the steps required by HealthyWage. In order to speed up the verification process with the holidays, we provided the ability to complete the Zoom verification so we could get what was needed quickly and she could enjoy her holidays. She was provided a long period of dates and times to complete this Zoom. HealthyWage was not contacted again until January 1,2024, 13 days after HealthyWage had initially reached out to set this up and 3 days past the deadline provided. As the window passed, the challenge closed. HealthyWage provided a courtesy to Buy More Time even though the end date had passed, but we have not heard back from this participant.

I was unsure at first whether or not HealthyWage was everything it said it was. But today I'm $5484 richer and 75lbs lighter because of the app, and the HealthyWage community. It was worth taking a chance on it and I'm the healthiest I've been in as long as I can remember.

The way this company works is you first make your big HealthyWager challenge. This is the goal you create by agreeing to losing a certain amount of weight in a certain time frame. This is the challenge you pay monthly installments on and end up getting a nice payoff from if you complete it.

I originally left a 2/5 review. This was due to the mini challenges, which are (team or individual) challenges that you can enter along the way in addition to your big HealthyWage challenge. The reason they didn't work is because the majority of the time, everyone in the challenge would hit their goal and so there would be no payoff. In this case, you just get the money back that you put into it. That's fine and dandy except Most of them didn't pay off and the ones that did were maybe $1-4. So essentially you gave them money, didn't earn even interest on it, and they send it back to you months later. The crazy part though, is to get your money back you have to pay $7 for them to send you a check or you can pay $2+3% for a PayPal deposit. Either way, if enough people win the mini challenge, then you don't even get back the full money that you put in.

They waive the $7 check fee once every 6 months (As long as the check is below like $850), so if you partake in only one mini challenge, you could get your buy-in returned to you for no cost. But I joined and won 10 mini challenges, meaning they would waive the check fee for the first one but anything after that I'd have to pay for. I stand by my original review that this policy is totally lousy.

The reason for the revised review however, is due to the fact that I won my BIG healthy wager challenge. So at the end of the day, they did what they were supposed to do. They created a way to motivate me to to lose 40 pounds, plus I made a great return on my installments. I paid $180/month for 6months. I am now getting my winning check for $2200. That's a good enough feeling (plus being skinny) for me to give them a solid 4/5 stars.

Takeaway: Go big or go home. Don't bother with the mini challenges. If you think you can make a big goal and stick with it, then you'll get a big payoff.

Hi Madison and congratulations on winning your Jackpot challenge! Yes, our Jackpot challenges have smaller payouts then our individual HealthyWager challenge (and the jackpot has a 25% admin fee — the same as our competitors — which the HealthyWager DOES NOT). If you want a bigger prize and no admin fee, I suggest you try the HealthyWager, which pays up to $10,000. The only catch is that the HealthyWager requires that you set a goal of at least 10% of your body weight. Regarding the $7 check fee: if your payout is lower than $75, you are not charged the $7 check fee (this stated when you go to cash out your winnings). You can also choose Paypal and avoid the check fee. Regarding your tax question, we will send you a 1099 if your total winnings are $600 or greater (minus wager) in a year.
Bottom line: if you have at least 10% of your body weight to lose and looking for a higher payout with no admin fee, we highly recommend our HealthyWager challenge. It’s an individual weight loss challenge where you select your weight loss goal, how long you want to lose it in, and cash prize (up to $10,000).

I was hesitant at first about HealthyWage because it seemed too good to be true, but I can now say that it is 100% legit. I lost 30 pounds, won my challenge, and promptly received the winnings. HealthyWage gave me the motivation and accountability I needed to stay focused on my weight loss goal and I couldn't be happier with my experience.

I joined to lose 50 pounds in 6 months as I remember. I had already lost 30 pounds bfr finding this. I was not on track come to the last months. But that doesn't matter much. The fact that they couldn't process 1 payment they eliminated me from the program. That was my issue. No matter what I would have won the competition. But they just eliminated me without my attempt to contact me.

Hi Alexis, if you have not done so already, please contact our customer support team at info@healthywage.com to discuss your challenge. When a participant's payment doesn't process successfully, several email notifications are sent, alerting of the missed payment. Once the account is back up to date, the challenge is immediately reactivated. We definitely want to ensure you're able to finish your challenge as planned, so please reach out to our awesome support team who will be happy to help!

Let me start by saying that I had allowed myself to incredibly overweight. I was unhealthy, miserable and hiding from my life. I'd done Healthy Wage for years but I just wasn't ready to put the effort in and only had mild success. Last December, I finally decided that enough was enough and that I was sick of sitting on the sidelines of my own life. I placed a bet on myself that would allow me to win over $2500 if I was successful. I'm now healthier than I've ever been, and I will never, ever go back.

One of the best features of Healthy Wage is the weight tracker. I loved being able to go back and see my weights from several years ago and compare them to each step of my journey this time around. I also liked the visual of seeing how I was progressing (there's basically a circle that gets filled in and it's green if you're on track, yellow if you're borderline and red if you're not on track to meet your goal).

I also have to give a shout out to the staff! As I said, I've done Healthy Wage off and on for probably 12 or 13 years, and in that time, I've needed customer service on several occasion (I ask a lot of questions LOL). Each time, I received prompt, super friendly responses. Not to sound cheesy, but the people I talked to all seemed to genuinely want me to succeed. When I finally *did* succeed, I was given heartfelt congrats from the customer service team (I had to reach out with a couple of questions about my account and about how to get considered as a featured success story). No joke, the "congrats" and "atta girls" were really genuine.

I received my check with no problem. It was sent out very quickly and I had zero issues getting paid. Since virtual security is something we're all concerned about in this day and age, I also want to emphasize that in over a decade, I never had a single issue with my payments not being securely processed, so please don't let something like that deter you from trying them out.

To sum it up, could I have lost the weight without Healthy Wage? Of course. Did Healthy Wage give me that extra motivation that kept me from quitting when things were challenging? I answer with a resounding "YES!". Please give it a shot if you're truly ready to get your health under control and be the best version of yourself...with an extra bit of cash in your pocket!

I attempted this and failed my bet. I failed my bet, but I wouldn't say I lost. I will explain why I say that. I had 18 months to lose 33 pounds. At first, with a massive diet change, the weight fell off me quickly. But, as I neared my weight out time, I was off course and not near my goal. Lucky for me, Healthy Wage offers an extend your bet option. You continue to pay your agreed to monthly fee for another six months and your bet extends six months. You do not win back the additional you pay in for the extension and that is made very clear. But, it gives you another chance to possibility win and get back on track. After my first extension, I tightened up my diet some more and continued to lose the weight. I thought, all I needed was a little more time. As my weight in date closed in the second time, I was just five pounds away from my goal. But, I couldn't get those last five pounds off. I opted to extend my bet a second time, mandatory six months extension... no option on the extension amount. But, I thought, I got this. Six months to conquer five pounds... easy. No, it wasn't. I had gone as far as I could with HEALTHY dieting. I added in exercise. I tried: Hot Yoga, Pure Barre, Kickboxing, joined a gym for the first time ever and started strength training. And what I feared started to happen. The healthier my body got, the more muscle I built, the more the weight started to add on the scale. It was then I realized, I wouldn't win this bet. This bet didn't take into account, actual Health or improvements in waist measurements or measurements of any kind. This bet only cared about the number on the scale and therefore, as I chose my health over the winning the wage and back sliding... I opted to let my bet time out. I didn't win my bet. But, I am continuing to work towards my goals. I am now wearing a small size top and pants to work and I am back in single digit jean sizes. I am working on slimming my legs and building my arm and ab muscles. And while I didn't win this bet, I didn't lose at it either. I am happy with my progress and will continue to work towards a healthier me. So, if you view this as a motivational tool to make changes in your life, this isn't a bad option. However, they should change their name. This doesn't promote a full healthy body. If it did, they should take into account measurements and muscle gain. This program focuses entirely on weight loss... and as I moved towards exercise, I moved away from meeting that small number on the scale. The thing is, if the program was about a healthy body, I would have won the wage. And I am sad I didn't win, as I could have used the money... but it is what it is. Just be aware of it going in. And also, I wouldn't recommend extending your bet more than once. All things considered, I am healthier... I just didn't win any money.

I found Healthy Wage through a Facebook ad. Initially, I was pretty skeptical. Some of these huge payouts look wayyyy too good to be true... I read reviews and actually DM'd one of the commenters to hear about her experience. Everything seemed legit. I knew I was absolutely committed to losing weight no matter what, so I figured, why not make money in the process?

You get to decide how much weight you plan to lose, in what length of time, and how much you want to "bet" each month. All of these factors can be adjusted to fit your goals and financial considerations.

I got started, was having great success, then fell pregnant... So I paused my challenge until after I was done breastfeeding. It was very easy to pause the challenge! I just sent an email with a note from my doctor saying that yes, I was indeed pregnant. Then emailed again when I was ready to restart. A few months later, I completed my challenge and WON real money! I chose to receive payment via a paper check, but PayPal is also an option (it's faster). My prize money check arrived within a week!

If you're wondering whether or not you should take a chance on Healthy Wage, I say go for it! You're losing weight anyway, why not get paid for it?

I was struggling to lose weight on my own. I kept regaining and losing the same 10 lbs over and over and over. I was researching gastric bypass and came upon a HealthyWage ad. I was skeptical, but I figured I'd give it a shot--maybe having a set deadline and a cash prize might be better motivation for me. It absolutely was. I beat my wager. I've lost 87 lbs in 10 months and have changed my relationship with food entirely. Thanks, HW!

I'm just disgusted that Heathywage couldn't find some kind of way to help out when so many people are struggling to support their families. Their email to me basically said that I don't have a choice but to pay. MANY companies opted to waive fees, cancel memberships, or even contribute to those in need. Healthywage is not one of them. I did what I had to do to stop the automatic payments. Bad debt vs food for my family. Which would you choose?

Hi Jayna,
With all our challenges being 100% online and through our mobile app, there hasn't been a need to cancel them as they're still running as usual. In fact, a lot of our participants have told us they're happy HealthyWage isn't automatically canceling nor postponing their challenges because it's helped them stay on track during this time and they're looking forward to winning their cash prize. The reason we don't allow cancellations is because it's a crucial aspect of the service we provide with helping you stay accountable and committed to achieving your goal, which would diminish the point of the program if you could simply quit. For participants who need to discuss their specific situation, our support team does respond to every email and works diligently in addressing and helping each participant who reaches out to us. We checked and don't see that you reached out to us regarding your challenge -- the screenshot you provided is from our automated payment reminder. If you have any questions or concerns, you can contact our support team at info@healthywage.com.

I LOVE Healthy Wage - it helped me reach my goal weight because MY money was on the line. It is completely legit and they make it so easy to weigh in and if there are any issues or questions you have a network of fellow wagers to chat with and their help team replies quickly. I am forever grateful to this program as I won more money than expected and finally got me to reach my goals.

My first HealthyWage challenge was great I worked hard, won, and received a check for $2251 minus $7 for mailing fee. Felt good and joined a new challenge on Jan 8th for a repeat performance. I was happy that they followed through on their commitment.
YOU MUST READ THE FINE PRINT BEFORE YOU COMMIT! I CANNOT STRESS THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS. "We have a strict no refunds policy, and a strict rule that we do not cancel installment debt. If you choose an installment plan, you are taking out a loan from our finance department. The installment plan is just like a loan from any other creditor, and the loan must be repaid regardless of circumstances. One important part of the service we provide is a negative reinforcement that helps you avoid procrastinating and quitting your weight loss plan, which would be undermined if you could simply change your mind after registering. Moreover, our pricing is based on actuarial models that assume no refunds and no installment debt cancellations. Our business model depends on our firmness around this policy. Our customer service agents and supervisors are not authorized to make exceptions. The only exception is that the HealthyWage accounting department may suspend your challenge (but not your installment payments) and extend all of your challenge deadlines if you find out after you register for a challenge that you are pregnant, or if you require extended hospitalization (at least 10 days) for a medical condition, but only if the severity of the medical condition was not known to you until after you registered for the challenge. Please email any questions concerning this policy to *******@healthywage.com."

I was subjected to a threatening email on the FIRST AND ONLY time they contacted me about my card expiring. I did not even have the opportunity to upload a new expiration date for my challenge when they canceled my challenge and told me that all future payment were due even though the challenge was cancelled. This all happened within 12 HOURS of getting the email. NOTE: I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE THE CHANCE TO UPLOAD MY UPDATED CARD INFORMATION AND MY CHALLENGE HAD ALREADY BEEN CANCELLED. Here is a copy of the email.

Final Notice: This was our last attempt to process your payment. Be sure to update your information in the next 24 hours to avoid bad debt.

To fix this right away, please log in to your dashboard on the HealthyWage website, click the three vertical dots on the top right, select 'Payment' from the drop down menu, and enter your updated payment information. Or use the HealthyWage App by clicking 'Menu' at the top left, then 'Settings', then 'Payments' from the dropdown menu. You will then see an area to update your payment information.

You are responsible for paying your complete registration fee one way or another. If you do not complete payment in the next 24 hours it will become bad debt.

Important: Your challenge has now been closed. If you would like to reopen your challenge you will need to contact us at *******@healthywage.com.

Let us know if there is anything we can do to help.

Thanks,

Accounts Receivable,
HealthyWage

This was the ONLY NOTICE I RECEIVED.

Please make sure you understand their terms before signing up. Like I said, the program works, and... sometimes, for me, due to unnecessary threats and the HealthyWage Team giving foreboding warnings over bad debt... it doesn't.

Hi Angela,
Congrats on the success of your first challenge! We're happy you've continued your journey with us and want to apologize as this was an error on our part that we take fully responsibility for as explained in our email to you.

When a payment is unsuccessful, there are typically several emails sent over the span of a several days to provide notice and ample time to get the account updated. Upon investigation, we see you were not sent all of these emails. This was a technical glitch on our part and we apologize.

We thank you for your feedback, which helped us identify the problem so our tech team could have it fixed quickly.

This is the best incentive based weight loss program anywhere. Where else can you get paid to lose weight and with such a great program. I had been trying to lose weight close to 15 years and just yoyo'd up and down. I found HealthyWage and after doing the research to make sure it was legit I bet more than I could afford to lose with a payout too big not to lose the weight. Here I am 9 months later, 70lbs lighter and over $11,000 richer. I had plenty of contacts who didn't believe it was real but I posted my pictures of me and my check today.
Healthy Wager is great not only for the prize you can win but also because of the mini short term challenges you can join along the way that keep you motivated. And then there's the lifelines, people just like you supporting each other.
If anyone doesn't win and get their prize money I 100% believe it's because they didn't complete the instructions as are spelled out in the beginning. They are simple, Do your weigh in video, lose the weight and do your weigh out video as instructed. It's simple and it's legit! Lose to win!

Tip for consumers:
It’s wonderful and 100% legit. It sounds too good to be true but it’s just that good!

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.

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!

Hi Lucia and congratulations on your success so far in your HealthyWager challenge! While our progress tracker is there to help you stay on track to hitting your personal weight loss goal (and winning that huge cash prize!), it is merely a guide that we hope participants utilize as a resource. As you mentioned, weight loss is different for everyone and we're currently in the process of updating our tracker to include more information and options. We appreciate your feedback and will take your input into consideration for future enhancements. If you have any specific suggestions or further feedback to share, please reach out to us at product@healthywage.com. Also, if you haven't updated to the latest version of the app, please update it now to get the most current features.

I loved my experience with HealthyWage! I joined in January and within 9 months I had hit my goal. The mini challenges were key for me, even though I didn't win a lot of money for participating in them, they kept me on track and I always got my money back from them when I hit my smaller goals. I think if you are going to lose weight you might as well win some money doing it!

So I joined to this joke of healthy wage. First of all, if you made the mistake to join, you better be prepare to loose the weight or the money cause there is not cancellation to it. Second, if you also made the mistake to joint to the challenge you would not make much. This challenges are base on a pot, which means you share the price among the winners, not without the HealthyWage company taking their share first. Said that, I entered into a pot where the entry money was $100. I won and I ended making 12 dollar approximately. Then there was another pot challenge where a made 8 dollars and you gotta take PayPal fees a as well so less that 8 dollars. Seriously?. Such as scam, and shame of Jillian Michaels on supporting this scammers. Of course you will loose the weight because you won't like to loose the money. But is this really a healthy formation of habits? I don't think so.

Hi, Jenn and congratulations on your weight loss success so far with winning two of our Fast Track challenges, including a 15% profit! Unlike our individual HealthyWager weight loss challenge where the prize (up to $10,000!) is all for you, our Jackpot and Fast Track challenge prizes are equally split amongst successful participants in each challenge, so the profit amount varies for each challenge depending on the number of winners. Our "no-lose guarantee" ensures that if you achieve the goal, you'll always win back at least your registration fee. Regarding the PayPal fee, we do disclose that there may be a potential fee processed from PayPal, but do not have control over the amounts charged. You are welcome to request a check for a flat $7 fee for any winnings, apply them towards current installments, or join new challenges to increase your profit further while you work to reach your personal goals. If you have any questions or concerns, we encourage you to reach out to our support team at info@healthywage.com and they'll be happy to help you!

I initially wrote that they don't care about their users and genuinely believed it until I heard from Amanda Stewart. Due to loss of income with the COVID-19 pandemic, I was attempting to get out of a bet where I paid $100 a month (with 4 months to go). Obviously, there is a lot of fear surrounding the uncertainty of these times. I worried about how I would care for my family, pay rent, bills, etc.

When Amanda reached out to me, I felt like she was taking the time to consider my individual position. I really appreciate the time that she took to work with me on finding a solution. I hope that other users are able to find in her, what I didn't find in Joe (Healthy Wage Participant Support).

I've been attempting to cancel my bet of $100 a month due to loss of income with regards to COVID-19. I had every intention to restart it and I'm committed to my goal of living a healthy lifestyle. It's really disappointing to feel like they don't actually care about the circumstances of their users during this pandemic.

When you don't have income coming in, $100 is a lot of money on the line. I made the bet because I believed in their idea and thought it was a great company but I can't recommend it since they aren't considerate of their users who are in unfortunate circumstances.

This program was just the motivation I needed to lose 40 lb. I appreciate that they allowed me to extend my challenge when I got off track. The money was a great motivator, and a sweet reward for my hard work.
