Good workout, Music OK

30 Mar 2006 - Melissa of Utah, USA writes:

I actually really like this workout video, and the main reason is because I feel motivated to do it. I've tried other videos, and by the last fifteen minutes I am counting down the time until its over. The music is alright, not my favorite but not bad. The instructor isn't too annoying, except when she tries to pretend like she is a "gangsta". I would recommend it because it is motivating and fun. I feel like I over-paid though.

Music!Music!Music!

30 Mar 2006 - Anonymous of California, USA writes:

I've tried 'em all and this is the best by far. If you're a fan of intense cardio work, like the original Tae Bo, but were bored with the music or the seriousness of it all, this is your workout. Firm Believers you will be a Jammer in no time. I must admit I used to bash Turbo when people described it to me and pretended to have tried it. I'm eating my crow. I read that you had to actually try it and that person was right. The instructor is soooo fun and the music is so good you'll find yourself singing the songs all day. Here's the most unbelievable part..you'll actually look forward to working out.

Good Ab workout

23 Mar 2006 - Jamye of Louisiana, USA writes:

I really like Turbo Jam! I bought it a couple of weeks ago and have been doing it several times a week. I think it is a good supplement to any fitness routine. The music is great! I don't think the workout is that difficult but it is very motivating!! I do feel my abs working. I ordered the new Turbo Jam three. I hope is a more challenging! In all I think Chalene is a fun motivating instructor!!

Love this workout!

23 Mar 2006 - Krystle of Missouri, USA writes:

I just want to say that I absolutely love this workout. Its energizing and I followed it along fairly well after only one time of doing it. I recommend watching it before you actually get up and do the workout! You will be able to get up and get moving the next time you put it in and start burning calories.

Great Workout

20 Mar 2006 - Cheryl of Ohio, USA writes:

I really enjoy the Turbo Jam DVDs. They are a great addition to my exercise video collection. I personally like the music and find the workouts challenging. I am not loyal to any one particular workout and like to incorporate a variety of routines. Turbo Jam is one high energy addition and I am extremely glad I bought it. The learn & burn portion is a key part of learning the moves which is important for doing the other routines. I think the con to this and any other exercise video / routine is promoting that it is the answer to all weight loss problems. I believe that with exercise, it is important to include variety.

PUMP IT!

20 Mar 2006 - Lina of Washington, USA writes:

I can't express how great TJ is! After seeing the infomercial repeatedly & reading the reviews from [], I decided to commit to TJ. I already own other BB programs, such as Slim in 6, Power 90, Yoga Booty Ballet, YBB (Hip Hop Abs) & I love them as well, but TJ puts the icing on the cake. I'm young & I love to get down & workout to high energy, booty shaking music, & TJ has it. Chalene's a great instructor w/ lots of enthusiasm & energy which I love especially @ 0430 when I'm lacking energy, but once I start Pumping & shaking it, it's all good & I feel wonderful that I started my day out right. I've only used TJ for 13 days now but I can already see dramatic changes in my body. The first 4 days I lost 7 lbs, (amazing). Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the other BB programs, but TJ definitely suits me far better than the rest.

pretty good cardio workout

19 Mar 2006 - Cy of Pennsylvania, USA writes:

I think the strength of this program is the cardio portion. I have used The Firm, and found that the cardio portion was a little lacking, even when I was doing it at high intensity. When I started to use TJ, the cardio party gave me the cardio workout I needed to lose those extra pounds. While TJ does have a sculpting portion that is challenging as well, I find it to be a little less effective only because you basically use only one weight level (ie, 5 or 8 lb dumbells) throughout the whole workout. Not all muscle groups use the same exact weight, so it was frustrating for me when I was trying to switch to heavier weights for squats and lighter weights for my delts because Chalene doesn't do that in her sculpt workout. Other than that though, if you're looking for a really good cardio workout, then I think this is a pretty good investment.

Don't waste your money

19 Mar 2006 - Chris of Ontario, Canada writes:

I'm very upset that I spent my hard earned money on this product. Where is the cuing, the attention to form? The instructor barks out encouragement but never tells you what moves are coming up. I give this an F, and advise others not to heed the obviously planted "positive" reviews. Good luck.

Not for Everyone...

18 Mar 2006 - Erica of New York, USA writes:

I bought Turbo Jam as soon as it came out. But you should be warned if you don't like your instructors to be perky and upbeat, you WILL NOT like Turbo Jam. I'm sure Chalene is a great gal, but he enthusiam annoyed the heck out of me. I like more a no-nonsence Gin Miller or Debbie Siebers approach. It is a good workout, but I couldn't get past her voice or the bad music.

Genuine customer

17 Mar 2006 - Ruth of Illinois, USA writes:

First let me make is clear that I am not an employee of turbo jam nor am I gettin payed to give this review. I have been using turgo jam for about a month and I can say that I really enjoy this workout. I was hard at first because it is very fast paced and I was really out of shape but I stayed with it and now the benefits were worth the struggle. The workout is fun. Charlene is full of enthusiam and energy. I cant wait to do her workout everyday. I have used other workouts and never stuck to them because they simply bored me to death. I have ordered her new workouts. I am glad I tried turbo jam and I would recommend it to anyone who needs a workout that is addictive and will keep you wanting more.

This Works!

16 Mar 2006 - Stephanie of Texas, USA writes:

I have tried, Tae Bo (all), Firm, and Katami I am 145 now, but when I first bought TJ I was 163, I have maintained my weight because I have been back and forth on my diet, but this is the MOST fun workout I have ever tried and the most effective, I have lost tons of inches, I was a 12, and now I am a size 8. I give this 5 stars, so definely go and try this product because you WILL lose weight and lots of inches. Let's keep Turbo Jammin'. She has 4 more videos that will be on the [] site either today or tomorrow, and I'll be sure to get them, because I know they are just as great. We'll keep you posted!

Best workout I've ever done

16 Mar 2006 - Megan of Indiana, USA writes:

This is the best workout I've ever done. I previously said that about The Firm but that was until I tried this. I have been doing it since the beginning of January and have dropped a size since then. Also, I have toned up significantly. I have not gotten bored with this workout at all. I feel that it has all the elements of The Firm and Taebo but this is so much better. It doesn't seem to be as difficult but it's more effective. I love it!

can't believe it

16 Mar 2006 - Lesley of San Fernando, Trinidad writes:

I have done billy's bootcamp for a year not much fun though a great workout. When i saw turbo jam i immediately decided to check it out. What i liked about the informercial is that not once did they say "this celebrity got amazing results with turbo jam" like how other infomercials do. that was great, I don't need to compare myself to a celebrity who has personal trainers and cooks.When i first got the turbo jam i decided to play it safe and try the learn & burn. I couldn't believe that with that 15 min burn section i worked up so much sweat, what i love about the workouts is that your core is engaged the entire time. I don't see why people are complaining about the music, I can hear it just fine. Maybe something is wrong with your volume on your TV.

Awesome

15 Mar 2006 - Meghan of Florida, USA writes:

This is an outstanding workout video. I have lost 4 pounds in the first 5 days. You do have to be in decent shape though because it's real fast and there is a lot of different quick movements. (The Cardio Party is my fav one)

Discouraged

11 Mar 2006 - Kristyn of Utah, USA writes:

i have had this product for almost a month and can honestly say I look forward to my 6:30am workout. It's the only time I have to myself during the day and find I enjoy working out. One thing BB offers is free support at [] which I think is the best part of the entire program. You choose your workout time and buddies that commit to work out with you who expect you to show up. With people who need motivation and the knowledge that others are "suffering" along with you - this program at [] is perfect. However, I am extremely discouraged that I have yet to lose any weight. I have lost inches in some areas but feel that I should be losing weight at this point. I have been following the diet almost exactly and workout 6 days a week. I guess I'll keep it up and maybe add on the Transfirmer.

Only regret

10 Mar 2006 - Deanna of New York, USA writes:

My only regret is not ordering Turbo Jam sooner! I love this workout. It is exactly like the once-a-week class I was taking at the, except, I don't have to wait until Saturday to do it. The music is great -- so catchy that I catch my daughter singing the songs to herself when she is playing. I am going to get new workouts in the Turbo Jam line. I can't get enough. For those of you on the fence, this is worth every penny.

On My Way

5 Mar 2006 - Erica of California, USA writes:

I am so happy that I went on a limb and tried this product. I haven't been doing Turbo Jam long but in my 1st 2 weeks exercising and doing the diet provided I have already lost a total of 5 1/2 inches. It's fun and it gets the sweat a'pouring. Everyone should try Turbo Jam. I can't wait for more results!!

Your treadmill will hate you

3 Mar 2006 - Alycen of Iowa, USA writes:

I gotta say: it really is FUN. I work out regularly, but the treadmill, even with music, gets boring. My only complaint is that Chalene makes TurboJam so addictive that my treadmill is gathering dust. I actually catch myself humming the music from the workout when I'm not working out. D'oh! After a month, I haven't seen some of the same awesome results other users have reported, but it just feels good to do it and I always end up smiling at the end. If you look to exercise as a mood-booster and are bored with your routine, and don't mind an instructor with humor, TurboJam is definitely worth a try.

Too Good to pass up

3 Mar 2006 - Lori of California, USA writes:

Turbo jam works. I have tried all of the beachbody programs and while they have all worked and i have lost weight and inches with all of them, i couldn't stick to them because they just weren't fun. Turbo jam is fun and works. I have been using it twice a day, 6 days a week for the past 3 weeks and I can already tell a difference. It's amazing how you really DON'T feel like you're exercising but more like you're goofing off and dancing--and you are still getting GREAT results. GREAT RESULTS. I cannot say enough good things about this program. Definitely try it, you WILL NOT be disappointed.

I LOVE Turbo Jam!!

3 Mar 2006 - Catrenia of Kentucky, USA writes:

I began Turbo Jam on 12/31/05. At the time I was not eating correctly. After about 5 days into Turbo Jam I started eating approximately 2300-2400 calories per day. I am female and 5'8". To date I've lost 25 total inches (7.25 inches off my waist alone) and 17 pounds. It works!! Chalene is great in explaining each move in her Learn&Burn section. Plus, during the workouts she reminds you of posture, etc.. There are two women who do low impact at all times, which is what I do. I LOVE the music (club/hip hop). I look forward to working out day after day. I have one rest day per week in which I have to make myself do other things to keep from doing Turbo Jam. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone (which I have). It works!!
