Fridays Health Review 2026: Prices, Coaching, Refunds

Two price lists exist on Fridays’ own site. The /pricing page is a promotional widget that returned different “starting at” figures on each of our three reads on September 20, 2026; the Help Center grid is consistent and matches the weight-loss page, so that is what is used below.

One billing rule matters more than any figure here: Wegovy is charged twice. The Help Center says “Wegovy has two distinct charges. This is different from other Fridays plans.” You pay a membership and a separate medication charge, so the “$49/mo first month” headline is membership only.

Regulatory status differs by product. Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide — injectable, oral and microdose — are the core products, and they are not FDA-approved. Fridays says so: “Compounded medications have not been evaluated or approved by the FDA for safety, efficacy, or quality.” It adds that they are “produced in FDA-registered facilities but are not FDA-approved” — registration is not approval, and the FDA does not review compounded drugs for safety, effectiveness or quality before marketing.

Brand-name GLP-1s sit alongside them. Ozempic® deserves a note the site never gives it: its FDA label covers type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular risk reduction and chronic kidney disease, with no weight-management indication, so selling it in a weight-loss program is off-label use of an approved drug. Zepbound® and Wegovy® are the other brand names on the price list. This review has no primary-source FDA label for either, so the page does not state their approved indications. Fridays’ own wording calls Wegovy “brand-name Wegovy (semaglutide), an FDA-approved weight loss medication from Novo Nordisk”; check the manufacturer’s label for the indication.

Testosterone comes as an injection or oral capsule, with anastrozole if a clinician judges it appropriate; it is a Schedule III controlled substance, which the site never mentions. No FDA-approved enclomiphene product is named. On the longevity line, Fridays states these therapies are “not FDA approved for the treatment, cure, or prevention of any disease,” and neither sermorelin nor NAD+ appears on the FDA’s 503B bulk drug substances list. Fridays lists MIC-B12 as a prescription compounded product.

The inclusion list is what every plan carries, not a menu of add-ons: “Unlimited Provider Visits,” “Nutrition & Mental Health Coaching,” “1-on-1 Dietitian & Journey Support,” “No membership fees,” “No sign up fees” and “No lab fees.” The Help Center adds “All medication doses included at no additional cost.”

Coaching runs in five formats — nutrition, mental health, metabolic, fitness and movement, and support groups — with “energizing, expert-led group coaching sessions each week,” plus 1:1 calls, recordings and a dietitian to chat with. How many 1:1 sessions are included is not published. SESH, meanwhile, is not a Fridays app: that listing is published by Undefined LLC, and members redeem a code for a co-branded eight-week program.

Fridays is operated by Thrive Health Group Inc. of Irvine, California, per its terms; the footer instead names “Thrive Health, Inc.”

Clinical services are not in-house: “Clinical Services are provided by OpenLoop Healthcare Partners, PC and other networks.” OpenLoop is a white-label “50-state clinician network” whose own service list includes care coaching and dietitian services. Naming the network beats the category norm; a medical director, roster and state-licensure page are still missing.

Pharmacies are named too: Red Rock Compounding Pharmacy, Health Warehouse, Precision Medicine and Triad Rx, plus SSP Pharmacy. You do not choose — the pharmacy “is predetermined based on your specific dosage and location.” Fridays says in full: “All partner pharmacies are 503A-accredited and required to submit independent third-party testing to ensure efficacy, purity, and sterility.” Section 503A is a statutory category for state-licensed compounding pharmacies, not an accreditation, and no accrediting body is named.

Fridays serves US residents aged 18 and over by telehealth, and frames eligibility as “Adults with a BMI of 25 or higher may be eligible for treatment.”

State availability is the one question the site does not answer: product pages say only “Not available in all 50 states,” the terms add “Certain Services may not be available in all states,” and no list appears. Ask support before you pay.

Visit cadence is described two ways on the company’s own site: “Unlimited Provider Visits” on the pricing page, “Monthly Visits with a Licensed Clinician” on the homepage. Testosterone is stricter: a consult for every refill and quarterly labs. Support is a strength: 24/7 chat, a phone line and a staffed Spanish address.

Fridays does not bill insurance: “Currently, Fridays is a cash-pay service and does not accept insurance,” and compounded medications “are not covered by insurance.”

What it does, at no extra cost, is file paperwork: Fridays “facilitates insurance engagement by initiating Prior Authorization (PA) as part of their membership services,” quotes “7-10 business days,” and assists with appeals. Two limits define it: it “only processes insurance-related documentation for branded medications,” and those drugs “must be paid directly at the pharmacy.”

Cancelling is easy; getting money back is not. You cancel in the portal under “Billing,” and the plan “will remain active through the end of your current billing cycle.” The request must arrive “at least 72 hours before your next scheduled billing date,” and pausing is not offered: “Fridays does not currently allow you to pause subscriptions.”

The terms then state “ALL FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE,” with refunds in four cases: medical disqualification before services begin, verified billing errors, refunds required by law, and credit toward another program. The Help Center is more generous, saying that after a consult, if “your medication has not yet been ordered, you are eligible for a refund.” The two differ and Fridays does not reconcile them; after that they agree, “No refunds once medication has been prescribed.” A $20 no-show fee is deducted if you cancel within 24 hours of an appointment.

Prepayment deserves the most thought: a 6 or 12-month plan is charged in full at the start and no mechanic is published for refunding unused months, so treat a 12-month plan as $1,800 spent, not $150 a month.

The two consumer ratings point in opposite directions and both deserve weight: Trustpilot’s 4,717 reviews average 4.1 on a claimed, paid, managed profile, while the BBB’s sample of 17 averages 1.06 and its F rating rests on complaint volume. Fridays’ advertised success and membership figures carry no published substantiation, so they are not used here.
