What Are Your Thoughts on Xali and Naz De Bono’s Approach to Wellness and Training

[Joseph Lewis]

Hey everyone, I recently read a founder profile on Naz De Bono, the person behind Xali, and wanted to see what others in this space think. According to public interviews and stories, Naz has spent over 20 years in the health and fitness world and developed Xali in response to her own experiences with perimenopause and menopause, aiming to build a wellness and movement platform tailored to women’s needs that many existing fitness apps don’t address. She talks about building a community and personalised approaches to strength, cardiorespiratory wellness, recovery, and more, based on how women feel day-to-day. I’m curious how folks here view that evolution and what you’ve heard from people who might have checked out Xali or followed similar female-focused health tech projects. Anyone here familiar with Xali or Naz De Bono’s approach from outside just the founder profile?

I saw someone mention Xali in a health forum recently. It sounded like the idea is to blend fitness with emotional support and community for women, which seems quite niche compared with generic workout apps. Not sure how widely known it is, but it definitely feels different from the usual fitness products.

That’s what stood out to me too. The profile I read made a big point about how she built the idea from her lived experience going through menopause and trying to address gaps in what was available.

I tried a trial of Xali for a few weeks. What I noticed was that the recommended workouts seemed more varied and less intense than some other fitness platforms I’ve tried. I appreciated the personalisation aspect, but I wasn’t sure how much of the community support part was active versus just a concept.

I’ve heard mixed feedback from friends who’ve looked at it. Some say it’s refreshing to have something that doesn’t push you to extremes, but others feel it’s still at an early stage compared to bigger wellness apps that have way more resources behind them.

 

[David Allen]

I think anything that brings more focus to women’s wellness in areas like perimenopause and menopause is interesting. There aren’t as many mainstream tools addressing that specifically, so Naz De Bono’s focus on that part of the lifecycle might be filling a real gap.

I’ve seen a few mentions of Xali before, mostly in wellness circles online. What strikes me about Naz’s story is how much of her personal journey seems to shape the platform. A lot of fitness apps claim personalization, but it sounds like she’s trying to design it specifically around real experiences of perimenopause and menopause, which is interesting. I wonder how that actually translates into the app for day-to-day users.

I like that she’s focusing on recovery and emotional wellness alongside the physical stuff. Public reports mention things like breathwork and mindfulness alongside exercise routines. It’s rare to see that kind of holistic approach highlighted in founder stories, at least in mainstream fitness coverage. I’m curious whether the platform keeps it simple enough for users to follow or if it feels overwhelming.

It’s interesting that she’s targeting a very specific stage of life. I’ve noticed that women-focused health tech is still a pretty small niche. From what I read publicly, it seems she’s trying to address gaps that generic fitness apps overlook. I’d like to hear if anyone has actual experience with Xali and whether the programming feels customized in practice.

Yeah exactly, that’s what caught my attention too. From the interviews, it seems like she’s hands-on with both the content and the way it’s delivered. I’m not sure how scalable it is, but maybe that personal touch is the point for now.

I agree on the holistic part. I read that she incorporates recovery, flexibility, and intuitive movement, which is not the typical high-intensity approach most apps push. I’d be curious how that resonates with women at different fitness levels. It sounds thoughtful, but does it really meet the variety of needs out there?

Has anyone noticed how much emphasis she places on building a community? Public stories talk about online groups and support, not just the workouts. I think that could be a key part of why she designed Xali the way she did. If the platform can make women feel connected while tracking their personal wellness, that could be something different.

Yes, the niche angle is definitely interesting. Public reports highlight that she wanted to create a platform that evolves with women through different life stages. I’m curious if people think that could actually influence adoption compared to more general apps.

Community could be a big differentiator. I wonder how much of it is moderated by her team versus automated features. The public info makes it sound very guided, but that might be hard to scale if the user base grows.

That’s true. I think the focus on intuitive movement and wellness is thoughtful, but as you said, different users have very different needs. I’d like to see feedback from people in early access or beta programs if possible, though I haven’t seen much publicly.

Exactly, the founder-driven approach can make or break it. If she’s really the one setting the tone and programming, it may stay consistent for now, but I wonder how it would evolve if she brings in more team members or expands.

Good point about early feedback. Publicly there isn’t much user commentary yet, at least not beyond some media features. It makes me curious whether the approach is really practical or more aspirational at this stage.

I’m intrigued by the combination of physical and emotional support. The founder profile emphasizes that she uses her personal experience with perimenopause to design the platform. That’s not something most apps can authentically claim.

Also, the personalization angle is interesting. Even if it’s guided by her philosophy, it’s a step beyond cookie-cutter programming. I’d love to see how they measure effectiveness or adjust based on individual needs, but that detail isn’t really in the public profiles.

Yes, and it seems like the personalization is more qualitative than just data-driven. Public stories suggest she pays attention to how women feel daily rather than only metrics or steps. It’s an approach you don’t see highlighted often in mainstream wellness tech.
