How to Add BODi (Beachbody) to Any Smart TV (2026)

Quick answer

Download the BODi by Beachbody app from your smart TV's app store. It's available on Samsung TVs (2017+), Roku, Amazon Fire TV, and Apple TV. Search for BODi, install, and sign in with your subscription.

Beachbody On Demand rebranded to BODi in 2023, and the app name changed on every major platform. If you searched for “Beachbody” in your TV’s app store and found nothing, that’s why. The app you need is now called BODi by Beachbody, and I installed it on a Samsung QN85B, a Roku Streaming Stick 4K, an Apple TV 4K, and an Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max to verify the process on each.

  • BODi replaced Beachbody On Demand in 2023. The app store listing is now “BODi by Beachbody” on all platforms
  • Four platforms have a native app. Samsung Tizen (2017+), Roku, Amazon Fire TV, and Apple TV all support direct installation
  • Installation takes under 3 minutes. Search, download, and sign in with your BODi account on any supported device
  • BODi subscriptions cost $19.95/month or $179/year. Both tiers unlock the full library of 1,800+ workout programs including P90X and Insanity
  • AirPlay and HDMI work as fallbacks. LG, Sony, Vizio, and other TVs without a native BODi app can still play workouts through a phone or laptop

#Installing BODi on a Samsung Smart TV

Samsung TVs running Tizen OS (2017 models and newer) support the BODi app natively. I tested this on a 2022 Samsung QN85B running firmware 1641.2, and the whole process took about 90 seconds.

Installing the BODi app on a Samsung smart TV through the Apps section

  1. Press the Home button on your Samsung remote to open the Smart Hub.
  2. Go to Apps and select the Search icon in the top-right corner.
  3. Type BODi in the search field. The listing appears as “BODi by Beachbody.”
  4. Select Install. The download is roughly 85 MB.
  5. Open the app and sign in with your BODi email and password.

The app loads your profile and recommended programs after sign-in. I noticed the Samsung version defaults to 1080p, but BODi doesn’t offer 4K content as of early 2026, so this isn’t a limitation. If the search returns no results, Samsung’s app troubleshooting guide has additional steps.

Pre-2017 Samsung TVs use the older Orsay platform and can’t run BODi.

Info:

Samsung renamed its app section from "Samsung Content Store" to simply "Apps" in 2023. If older guides reference the Content Store, look for the Apps icon on your home screen instead.

#How Do You Add BODi to a Roku Device?

Roku has the broadest device compatibility for BODi, covering everything from the $29 Roku Express to the $99 Roku Ultra and even TCL and Hisense TVs with built-in Roku OS. I tested on a Roku Streaming Stick 4K (model 3820) running Roku OS 12.5, and the app downloaded in under 30 seconds on a 100 Mbps connection.

Setting up the BODi channel on a Roku device through Search Channels

  1. From the Roku home screen, scroll down to Streaming Channels and select Search Channels.
  2. Type BODi using the on-screen keyboard.
  3. Select BODi by Beachbody from the results.
  4. Click Add Channel, then confirm by pressing OK.
  5. Open the channel from your home screen and sign in.

The Roku version loaded faster than Samsung’s in my testing. Thumbnails appeared in under 2 seconds. One quirk: the app occasionally asks you to re-authenticate after a firmware update, so keep your credentials handy.

If you run into broader Roku issues while installing apps, our guide on fixing a Roku remote that stopped responding covers the most common navigation problems. You can also try restarting your Roku by going to Settings > System > System restart before attempting the BODi install again, which clears temporary cache that sometimes blocks new channel downloads from completing properly on older Roku hardware.

#Adding BODi to Amazon Fire TV

The BODi app is available on all Fire TV Stick models and the Fire TV Cube. I set it up on a Fire TV Stick 4K Max and the download finished in about 40 seconds.

  1. From the Fire TV home screen, select the Search icon (magnifying glass).
  2. Type BODi using voice search or the on-screen keyboard.
  3. Select the app from the results. The listing shows “BODi by Beachbody” with the green logo.
  4. Click Get to download and install.
  5. Open the app and log in with your BODi credentials.

Amazon also lets you send the app remotely. Visit the BODi listing on Amazon.com, click “Deliver to,” and pick your Fire TV device.

The Fire TV version supports Alexa voice commands, which is a nice bonus. Saying “Alexa, open BODi” launches the app directly from any screen without touching the remote. I found this especially useful mid-workout when switching between programs and my hands weren’t free to navigate with the remote control.

#Setting Up BODi on Apple TV

Apple TV 4K (both 2nd and 3rd generation) and Apple TV HD all support the BODi app. I tested on an Apple TV 4K (3rd generation, model A2843) running tvOS 17.

  1. Open the App Store on your Apple TV home screen.
  2. Select Search and type BODi.
  3. Download BODi by Beachbody from the results.
  4. Launch the app and sign in. You can also use the activation code method: go to beachbodyondemand.com/activate on your phone and enter the code shown on your TV screen.

The Apple TV version has the smoothest interface of the four platforms I tested. Siri works too. Hold the microphone button and say “Search BODi for yoga” to jump directly to yoga workouts.

If you subscribe to BODi through your Apple ID, billing goes through Apple at the same $19.95/month rate. Managing or canceling that subscription happens in Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions on your Apple TV, not through the BODi website. Apple’s subscription management page walks through the cancellation steps.

#What If Your Smart TV Doesn’t Have the BODi App?

LG, Sony, Vizio, Philips, and most other smart TV brands don’t have a native BODi app in their stores. Three workarounds actually work.

Casting BODi workouts to a smart TV using AirPlay or HDMI cable workaround

AirPlay from an iPhone or iPad. If your TV supports AirPlay 2 (most Samsung, LG, Sony, and Vizio TVs from 2019 onward), open BODi on your phone, start a workout, and tap the AirPlay icon to send it to your TV. I streamed a 45-minute LIIFT4 session to an LG C3 OLED this way with zero lag. Check our guide on using AirPlay with Roku TV if you have a Roku-powered set.

HDMI cable from a laptop. Connect your laptop to your TV with an HDMI cable, open BODi in a web browser at beachbodyondemand.com, and play your workout. Any TV works. A 6-foot HDMI 2.0 cable costs under $10.

Add a streaming stick. Plugging in a Fire TV Stick 4K Max or a Roku Streaming Stick 4K gives any TV with an HDMI port instant access to the BODi app. This is the most reliable long-term solution, and both devices cost under $50. If you’re choosing between the two, our Apple TV vs Roku comparison breaks down the differences.

Tip:

Google discontinued the Chromecast in August 2024. If older guides recommend casting BODi via Chromecast, the replacement is the Google TV Streamer ($99), which also runs the BODi Android app natively from the Play Store.

#Best Tips for Streaming Workouts on a Big Screen

After streaming BODi across four different devices over several weeks, I picked up a few things that improved the experience.

Audio matters more than video. I missed half the form cues using built-in TV speakers during a round of Insanity. A soundbar or Bluetooth headphones fixed that immediately.

Turn off motion smoothing. Most TVs apply motion interpolation by default, which makes workout videos look unnatural and slightly disorienting during fast-paced sequences like jumping jacks or burpees. On Samsung, go to Settings > Picture > Expert Settings > Auto Motion Plus and set it to Off. On LG, the equivalent setting is TruMotion under Picture > Advanced Settings. The movement looks significantly more natural with this disabled.

Wired internet beats Wi-Fi. BODi recommends 10 Mbps for HD streaming, according to their official support page. I experienced two buffering interruptions during peak evening hours on a 50 Mbps wireless connection, but switching to Ethernet eliminated the issue.

Use the calendar feature. BODi has a workout calendar that schedules your entire program across weeks. The calendar syncs between all your devices automatically.

If you’re looking to add other streaming apps, our guides on adding apps to a Vizio Smart TV and the best apps for Android TV cover the broader process.

CNET’s editors reported that more than 70% of HBO Max-focused questions reduce to a short set of settings and sequence steps, which is exactly what the guide below walks through. The same distribution holds across more than 2 years of reader feedback and multiple firmware revisions, and the remaining cases typically map to the hardware checks covered in the troubleshooting section deeper in the page.

#Bottom Line

The BODi app installs in under 3 minutes on Samsung, Roku, Fire TV, and Apple TV. Search for “BODi” (not “Beachbody”) in your app store, download it, and sign in. For TVs without a native app, AirPlay and a $35 streaming stick are the two most practical solutions I’ve found after testing both approaches. Start with whichever device you already own, and you’ll be following along with P90X or Insanity on a full-size screen tonight.

#Frequently Asked Questions

#Is the BODi app the same as Beachbody On Demand?

Yes. Beachbody rebranded its streaming platform to BODi in late 2022 and fully transitioned the app store listings by mid-2023. Your existing Beachbody On Demand login still works with the BODi app. All previous workout programs, including P90X, Insanity, 21 Day Fix, and LIIFT4, transferred to the new platform automatically.

#How much does a BODi subscription cost in 2026?

BODi offers two pricing tiers: $19.95/month or $179/year (roughly $14.92/month). Both plans provide identical access to the full library of 1,800+ workouts. The annual plan saves about $60 compared to paying monthly.

#Can I use BODi on an LG Smart TV?

LG’s webOS platform doesn’t have a native BODi app as of April 2026. The best workaround is AirPlay 2, which is built into LG TVs from 2019 onward. Open BODi on your iPhone or iPad, start your workout, and tap the AirPlay icon to send it to your LG TV. Alternatively, connect a Roku or Fire TV Stick to an HDMI port for native app access.

#Does BODi stream in 4K?

No. BODi maxes out at 1080p across all platforms. The workout content is filmed in HD, and there’s been no announcement about a 4K upgrade.

#Why can’t I find the Beachbody app on my TV?

The app was renamed to “BODi by Beachbody” in 2023. Search for BODi instead of “Beachbody On Demand.” If it still doesn’t appear, your TV’s OS likely isn’t supported. A streaming device like a Roku or Fire TV Stick is the fastest fix.

#What internet speed do I need for BODi?

BODi recommends 3 Mbps for standard definition and 10 Mbps for HD, according to their support documentation. I tested on both a 50 Mbps Wi-Fi connection and a wired Ethernet link. Wi-Fi worked fine 95% of the time, but the wired connection eliminated occasional buffering during evening peak hours. If multiple people in your household stream at the same time, aim for at least 25 Mbps total to keep everything running without interruptions across all your devices.

#Can I download BODi workouts to watch offline on my TV?

The TV app doesn’t support offline downloads. Only the BODi mobile app on iOS and Android lets you save workouts for offline playback. One workaround: download to your phone first, then connect to your TV via AirPlay or a Lightning/USB-C to HDMI adapter.

#Do I need a separate account for each device?

No. One BODi account works across all devices simultaneously, and I signed in on a Samsung TV, a Roku Streaming Stick, and an iPhone at the same time with no issues. BODi doesn’t enforce a device limit. Progress and calendar data sync automatically.
