Fridays Review

To understand Fridays’ value, we focused on their core promise of an “everything included” approach. This isn’t a provider you choose for a simple prescription. Use OrderlyMeds or GobyMeds for that. Fridays is for individuals who want a comprehensive, guided experience from the very beginning of their GLP-1 journey.

The public perception and key differentiator for Fridays is its integration of holistic services directly into its program. What may be seen as a nuisance to some, is a benefit to others. The most significant difference between Fridays and other providers is the inclusion of lab work through Quest Diagnostics. For users who want a baseline number and the ability to track their health markers as they progress, this is a huge benefit and provides a level of medical assurance that many other providers don’t offer.

Operationally, the inclusion of these services explains why Fridays is one of the more expensive providers. As the saying goes, there’s no free lunch. The Quest Diagnostics labs alone would cost a patient around $196 if ordered independently, and that doesn’t include a professional analysis of the results. This value is baked directly into Fridays’ pricing model, justifying the higher cost for the right type of customer.

Looking ahead, the success of Fridays’ model hinges on its ability to prove its value. They are already offering services like weekly coaching sessions on nutrition and mental health, plus access to a fitness app. For patients who don’t get regular blood work done through their primary care physician, or for those who truly want to commit to a structured lifestyle change alongside their medication, Fridays offers a clear and compelling package.
