Review summary

Users broadly praise Project Power for its coach-led group support, easy-to-use interface, and comprehensive tracking that combines meals, exercise, and weight with device integration (Withings scale and watch). The program's educational videos and live sessions help motivate behavior change, and many report tangible health gains such as weight loss and improved HbA1c or glucose control. Feedback on negatives is limited and mostly isolated to a few reviews about technical glitches or a weight-centric focus, with no broad consensus of cons.

Pros

Strong coaching and group support that fosters motivation and accountability.
User-friendly app with easy tracking for meals, exercise, weight, and daily progress.
All-in-one platform with comprehensive tracking and device integration (Withings scale/watch, barcode scanning).
Educational videos and live sessions that aid diabetes management and healthy habit formation.
Reported tangible health improvements (weight loss and better HbA1c/glucose control) and a sense of control over health.

Cons

No recurring cons reported across multiple reviews.

2025-01-11	Fa*****	I am enjoying the app. They just added the exercises in the app in which I tried the meditation which was great. The app was part of the diabetes prevention program which I joined along with some family members to help with diabetes awareness and prevention . It has been a great program that I felt was user friendly and I liked having the experience of having a coach with live weekly sessions with my group. Looking forward to the next step in this program.

2024-12-25	!M*****	Program is nice. Some groups are dominated by individuals that have high needs for attention (so just like any other group in life). Videos are AI computer generated so they are difficult to decipher and the captions blend into the graphics so they cannot be seen. The computer generated voice is hard to decipher. Coaches vary it’s clear some have favor towards select participants so your experience will vary just like any other interaction . The app is ok. It has extreme focus on weight. And even if pre-diabetic is permitted in program so no glucose or A1C testing the app looks for data on those domains plus smoking (and you can’t hide relevant factors — like smoking!) The high focus on weight is concerning since weight/BMI is not the only indicator of health. The concept is based upon the standardized curriculum set forth by the CDC. However the standard curriculum does not tell individual programs they must focus on weight, smoking or other points

2024-11-01	Jo*****	This is a well thought out and helpful program. My coach Mariana has been enthusiastic and inspiring and brought our group together . To work in a group with people who all have the goal to lower their Hemaglobin A1C has been so very supportive. The coaching, working in a group, the weekly videos and the classes inspired me and strengthened my resolve to reach my goal. The Project Power app that I used on my cellphone helped me track my daily exercise and walking, log my food and calories, keep track of my weight , view videos and attend classes. The Withings scale that we were given is amazing. Not only does it track your weight, it tracks your heart rate , muscle mass and much more. By using the scale in the first three days I saw that my heart rate was too high and notified my doctor. For me this was a symptom of a thyroid disease which I had no idea I had , as I had no other symptoms and I did not feel my heart beating faster. The Withings watch is wonderful. You can not only keep time, you can keep track of your heart rate, exercise, keep track of your sleep and many other functions. The classes taught and run by Coach Marianna were especially helpful. The class on stress was outstanding. I would like to recommend that this class be the very first class in the Project Power Program. I recommend this class highly to anyone who wants to lower their Hemoglobin A1C . The American Diabetes Association is changing lives for the better with this very helpful program and it is free! Thank you! Joanna Williams-Cromer

2024-10-12	De*****	I enjoy being a participant of this program. It has offered me so many tools to combat the negative eating habits, and negative mindset, about my overall health. The app is so user friendly and very easy to follow. It has influenced and assisted me with logging most of my meals, monitoring my weight, creating new healthy habits, and making sure that I put in the work, just for example. The scan watch, is amazing; with helping to monitor my activities. I am so impressed by all of the resources that are now at my fingertips, because of Project Power. Thank you for what you do.

2024-09-27	Ar*****	I joined this project/program as a way to help me kickstart my fitness journey. It has been a great experience and resource as far as keeping me on target with changing my dietary and exercise habits. Tracking meals and exercise helps me make adjustments in real time. The new scale is awesome as it provides much more comprehensive information that is useful. Would highly recommend this program to anyone who’s ready to take charge of their health!

2024-09-09	AL*****	Wow! The Project Power App, Coach Mariana and my support group have all encouraged, empowered and engaged me by introducing me to a healthy and livable lifestyle. Coach Mariana led us with compassion, support and full attention to our needs. I specifically liked and benefited from the food log, habits, videos and recording my exercise. These factors influenced my daily decisions for meal prepping and guidance when I lost track or focus. Thank you for this life changer!!! Anna J
