I just finished my first week of Kettleworx and Im very disappointed. The editing is horrible and the excerises are repetitive. I used to workout 6 days a week using only kettlebells and I was in very good shape but I just had a baby 4 months ago and was on 4 months bedrest so Im definitly not in any shape right now, but these workouts didnt even make me break a sweat! Its very frustrating having to pause the dvd to do equal reps on each side and having to go from a standing exercise to a mat exercise within 2 seconds. I just did the back and chest dvd and I didnt do one back or chest exercise!!!!! Im going to finish the 6 weeks just to see if it gets any better and to gain some strength to do my insanity workout (which makes you sweat)

I’ve used loads of different type of workout dvd’s because I fond that you’re keeping up with the trainer on the dvd and so working to their pace. We all know that in the gym on our own, sometimes we don’t push ourselves quite hard enough… I borrowed these dvd’s off my sister and purchased my own kettlebell (5lb) I have found these dvd’s AMAZING! Other workouts I’ve used before can run over an hour and I found myself dreading the thought of doing them because they take so long and weren’t particularly effective. I was sceptical about KettleworX because of the 20 mins 3 times a week claim, although someone mentioned earlier that they are in fact more like 30 mins but I love them! Monday Wednesday and Friday for a half an hour each and I’ve seen a difference in the first 6 weeks and thats without doing anything else (and eating absolutely terribly some days!) My clothes feel better, my waistline and chest area definitely more defined and I got a comment from a guy friend of mine that I had definitely lost weight, delighted! I have taken a week off now and have bought an 8lb kettlebell and going to start the 6 weeks all over again on Monday, once thats done, I’ll do it again with a 10lb etc. etc. The time goes so fast and I actually enjoy it! Especially the Core dvd and I always hated the abs sections of other workouts previously. Yes, the reps arent equal but just start on the other side for each set and it pretty much evens itself out. I actually like Ryan, Rainbow abs makes me laugh everytime and I actually like the “cut and paste” way they have done it because when he describes the move then you know exactly what to do and because the workouts are fast paced and are set out differently for each day I think its important to know what youre doing so youre not wasting time trying to get used to a new move youve never done before…

I would thoroughly recommend KettleworX, although I do think the price is quite steep, I would suggest shopping around for the dvd’s on their own or having a look on auction sites etc and buy your own kettlebell. Again scour auction sites for kettlebells, they can be really expensive in some stores.

The bottom line for me is that it works!!! I’m happy!

I have bene using Jillian Michaels Shred it with Weights. It is an excellent workout and challenging. I bought Kettleworx to step up the program and try different moves and workouts with this system. I have come to find out that its just repeats of the same moves over and over again. Poor editing. They don’t do the same reps on the same side repeatedly throughtout the program. I put in the Hips and thighs workout and they are back and shoulder exercises in the program. I am a athletic trainer and just found the editing and selection of exercises to be repeative. They make up the 3 extra DVDs from moves that are from the 3 main DVDs. I think they should have a professional such as an athletic trainer review their DVD content before they make a leg and thigh workout that has shoulder workout moves in it. I am disappointed with this purchase. I don’t really break a sweat working out to this like I do with Jillian Michael’s DVD. Not worth $100.

My sentiments exactly Tom, Kelley and Lori; it drives me crazy that the workouts aren’t done in a manner that engages on a more personal level with their audience by making them real time instead of repeated clips or ‘looped’ video. Instead they’re cheaply made which for me, takes away the connection I need from a trainer. I’m used to working out to Turbo Jam where Chalene Johnson really utilizes that time to provide ongoing training tips and engages with everyone. And with the workouts from Kettleworx not even using consistent reps on each set is not good – I mean I want my right side to look like my left, right? Also the speed of each rep is different and not consistent and as Lori mentioned; one second your standing and the next your on your back in position…no transition time and for choreography purposes it seems it would make better sense to have all standing reps together then floor. BUT, I will have to say if more effort was put into making the workout DVD’s I’d be a huge fan because I do like the kettle bell. It’s just taking me awhile to get into it because of how it’s made. I also mistakenly ordered the wrong size of kettle bell in the beginning and their customer service department was great to work with; not like a lot of companies who just see you as a #. I’m going to keep working on this and hopefully can retrain my brain AND my body at the same time!!

I totally agree with both Kelly and Tom, when I put in the Core DVD, I though something was wrong with it because it kepy repeating the same thing over and over. I feel as though it should be a little more consistnecy on his exercise one minute you’re standing up and next minute you have to get on the map……I really don’t like that part at all of the DVD’s. I’m not disappointed, I feel I will get a good workout….but I just wish the format was different.

I totally agree with Tom Coggins, the DVD’s are “Cheaply” done, its not a real time and its repeated clips , he does not do consistent amount of reps on each side and that drives me crazy!! I did not pay good money to have to count how many reps I need to do in order to ensure that I get a good work out on both sides of my body. The other thing is there is no consistnecy in his counting, he speeds up doing some of the exercise and slows done, very unprofessional in my opinion. And one last comment, its says 20 minutes when it is actually 30…just so you know. Very disappointed.

I really like the Kettle worxs program but have one problem with the work outs, why does Ryan not do equal reps on each side this thing just drives me nuts. Take on the core for instance the raise up sit-ups it’s like you do 3 on the right and six on the left. I know I got a pause button and things but it seems to me that a work out dvd and program of this quality that a little more time would have been taken to keep the workout reps equal. Also I don’t really like how you repeat what they already have done in other words it’s not a real time workout it’s like we are going to do one take on this and then just repeat it. I have P90 X and love how the workouts are realtime. haveing said all this I am still a fan of kettle worx and believe it will work. P 90x got me stronger kettle workx is getting me in shape

My husband purchased this dvd set and I quickly took it over. I normally just do the workouts 2-3 times per week, but after just a short time I could already feel and see the results. I started with the 10lb and seriously the first night barely made it through the intro video. Now after 4 months (about 30 workouts) I am using the 15lb weight. I started out going in order with the workouts and now I just vary them as I want to. I love it and never ever get bored with these exercises. This is a fabulous workout even for those who get bored very easily, like I used to.

This is the review that I was looking for in determining which home exercise equipment was the most effective and efficient in helping me towards my goal of a healthier body while giving the most bang for the buck. After doing my own search on the numerous fitness programs out there, the simplicity and effectiveness of the KettleWorx program stands out as clearly a more effective and do-able program. I fully understand that it still takes a dedication and desire to achieving your goals for any workout program. Thank you for your honesty and objective approach in evaluating this and other products and options for creating a healthier body, and lifestyle.

Sincerely,
Robert
