The idea of a pragmatic plan to get in shape appealed to me as a programmer, but I read this kind of language and cringe: "Feel Better. Code Better. Level Up." "Being healthy will make you a better programmer." I think the "hacker" market can be captured without being so patronizing.

This resonates with me more than "...Level Up.", because it's true. When I was working out my whole body worked better, including my brain, so I appreciate that angle in the marketing.
