Health Class or Perifit: a class or a sensor?
Perifit is a small sensor you insert, with games you play by squeezing. Health Class is a 6-week class with no device. Here is what each one does best.

Where Perifit wins
- Sensors show each squeeze live, so you see if you lift the right way.
- Games turn the daily session into play.
- 9 languages, iPad support, and a 100-day free return on the device.
- The app itself is free once you own the device.
Where Health Class wins
- Nothing to buy or insert: you train with your own muscles, anywhere.
- A class by a board-certified urologist, with a short lesson each week.
- A plan for your goal, the basics or bladder leaks, from day 1 to day 42.
- Week 1 is open to everyone, so you try the class before you pay.
Pick Perifit if you want to see your squeeze on a screen, you like games, and you are fine using a device you insert.
Pick Health Class if you want to learn and train with no device, follow a plan built around your goal, and try a first week before you pay.
What both get right
Both help you train your pelvic floor a little, every day. That habit is the first step guidelines list for stress leaks, for at least 3 months.[5]
Where they differ
Perifit is a sensor. You insert a small device, and the app shows each squeeze live. Your squeeze moves a game on the screen.[2] The app works only with the device.
Health Class is a class. Dr. Dana Kivlin, a board-certified urologist, teaches it. Each week opens with a short lesson. Each day has one guided exercise, with cues like "Breathe out, then lift." There is nothing to insert.
A word on price
Perifit starts with the device: $149 for Perifit Care or $199 for Care+, at regular prices on its store.[1] The app is free, with an optional Premium plan.[3] Health Class costs $11.99 a month or $99.99 a year, with 3 free days. Week 1 is open to everyone.
Can you use both?
Yes. Some women like a sensor to check their squeeze and a class to learn what to do with it. Ask your doctor or a pelvic floor physio what fits you, above all during pregnancy or after birth.
Train with nothing to insert.
Pelvic Floor 101 and Bladder leaks guide each squeeze with cues on the screen, from day 1 to day 42.
- A class by a urologist
- 5 to 10 minutes a day
- Week 1 is open to everyone
Quick answers
How much does Perifit cost?
On November 7, 2026, perifit.co listed Perifit Care at $149 and Perifit Care+ at $199, often on sale. The app is free. Its Premium plan costs $9.99 a month or $79.99 a year in the US App Store.
Do I need the Perifit device to use the app?
Yes. The Perifit Care app says it works only with the Perifit Kegel exerciser. Health Class needs no device: you follow the class on your phone.
Is a Kegel trainer device better than an app?
Each has a strong side. A sensor shows whether you squeeze the right way. An app with no device costs less up front and needs nothing inserted. A pelvic floor physio can also check your squeeze.
Is Perifit worth it?
It fits women who want live feedback and games, and who are fine with a device they insert. Its 100-day free return lets you test it. If you prefer no device, a guided class is the other way to start.
