I'd been happily using Power90 but wanted an alternate aerobic workout. I tried TaeBo, but was frustrated over my lack of coordination and inability to keep up with the tempo (I'm slightly dyslexic). I purchased Turbo Jam and seem to do better at keeping in step with the instructor. It's fun and okay for me to use as an additional program to fight boredom.

Are you kidding me??  This work out is slamming!!   I have them all!  Cathe, The Firm, Kathy Smith, Gin Miller, Sharon Mann, etc.   You can not beat Chalene.  She is a great instructor who actually seems like she is really talking to you and cares!!  This video is everything it says it is.   I have tried other BeachBody but didn't like them.  With Turbo you are sweating and having so much fun! Abs, Legs, Butt and more!!  The music could be better, too much in the background but who cares!!  I want to be pushed to the next level and Chalene does it!!! Thank you!  Please make more!!

I have plenty of work out tapes but this was the one for me. The music is great that I can't believe the workout is over so fast. I can't wait to get home from work to do the TURBO JAM. I do this tape twice a day. I LOVE IT and I highly reccommend it. It's fun and easy. I am waiting for new ones to come out. Get it, you love it Gloria California

I actually own a few beachbody product, power90, slim in 6 and now turbo jam. All workout give you results if you stick with the program. Never have I made it to the 90 days required for Power 90 and the 6 weeks required for Slim in 6, I got bored. I recently purchase Turbo jam because as I said I love the beachbody workout but I need something that is going to keep me motivated. I have to say I think I found that in Turbo Jam, I had to take a week off from working out and I actually missed The TJ crew and the workout. After reading other customer's comments I can't understand how anyone could not love this program. All all the different workouts I can switch workout and never get bored. Charlene and teh crew gets my hype and wanting to comeback for more. Teh first week I was so excited I was doing the Cardio Party, 20 min workout and ad jam everyday! If I had that kind of time I would keep doing that, I would recommend this workout for anyone who loves a party, a great workout and good looking people to look at who had great results from the same working you are doing with them. Thanks Charlene and crew: )

To anyone considering TJ: It is the BEST investment you can make in any workout system. I did Slim in 6 and lost, but it really irritated my knees, and was just irritating after a while to stick with. I tried P90 and while I was gaining strength, I lost NOTHING, and was bored to tears - I felt like I was going to the dentist just to work out. With Turbo Jam its fun - you actually feel like you've been out dancing at a party rather than working out (Except with turbo sculpt, which you feel!!) The others make you sweat and bop. For those who think it doesn't work, or think it requires coordination: I have no real coordination. After doing the 20 minute workout about 4 times, I was able to get through almost everything without losing a step - and for me that's pretty good. But the key is results: I have a very difficult time losing weight and inches. I've cut pop and junk for the most part, but unlike the other times I tried (and failed), this time I have NOT made any other major changes to my diet. In the first ten workouts (JUST working out, not following the diet), I'd lost 6 pounds and 9 inches. I've since done five more workouts and am now at 8 pounds and 13 1/2 inches. For anyone who thinks it doesn't work - it does.

I LOVE Turbo Jam! Pluses: no equipment, great music, timeclock on the bottom of the screen is very helpful, exercisers of different ethnicities and sizes, non-coordinating outfits. Minuses: occasional cueing errors, not enough stretching after the workout. Overall, if you want the benefits of a TaeBo type workout without the boredom, this is it. I was a "Firm Believer" and now I will stick with TurboJam. Its fun, and you will look forward to the dvd, not dread it like I did The Firm.

I've tried so many other workout videos before.  Turbo Jam is by far the most exciting.  I really do look forward to it each day.  It is easy on the body and so much fun.  Chalene is just adorable and the music is perfect for the time of dance/workout.  The cast is high energy and a couple of them are just so cute to watch.  They just make you smile.  As a 26 year old, mother of 2, I highly reccommend this for anyone short on time and in need of some fun while trimming down.

I absolutely love Turbo Jam.  You do need to be somewhat coordinated in order to do this.  I look forward to working out because Turbo Jam is fun and the music is great!  I have tried Power 90, which I loved, but this is actually fun.

I've used TJ for about 4 weeks now.  I really like it!!   It's fun and really works!  I do wish the music was louder though.  I have to crank the volume when I use it.  I haven't weighed yet, but my clothes are looser and I feel stronger.  I also ordered the Lower Body Jam--woah, you can really feel it!  I am very pleased with the product.  TJ Rocks!!

I am a group exercise instructor with over 22 years of experience, and have known Chalene's work through the years.  I am extremely picky about endorsing any workout to my clients, but having Turbo Jam myself, I can say that it is effective, well put together, energizing and most of all....FUN! When you have a "party" at your class.  The participants get motivated, which then motivates you as an instructor.  Chalene and the crew get me going in my house! It's a great workout for when you know you are going to have one of those "busy" days where the gym isn't an option. If you need to lose weight, if you are looking to get lean, this workout coupled with a realistic eating plan will work! Chalene is inspiring, creative and this product is yet ANOTHER hit for her! Keep it coming!

I bought this product about a month ago. I wanted something that would keep me interested in working out. I have found Turbo Jam to be lots of fun and keeps me wanting more. Before I bought this product I was going to a kickboxing class which was lots of fun but I found that I did not have the time in the afternoons for the class. I now do the TJ in the morning before going to work and when the kids are asleep. TJ gives me lots of energy to tackle my day. I recommend TJ to everyone. Like someone else mention I wish the music was a bit louder but it still works for me.

This is the one time that I would strongly suggest to skeptics to try this program.  I am sure it isn't for everyone but I do think that it will fill a wider demographic than most exercise videos.  I have owned this complete program since September.  During just that month alone I lost over 9 lbs, which for me was great.  Since then I have not been able to exercise as much as I would like because of serious illness in my family.  While I know circumstances are beyond my control when I am not able to exercise I genuinely miss my Turbo Jam.  Normally I just hate being off schedule but dread the workouts anyway...with Turbo Jam I look forward to it and want to do it even when I can't.  To me the most important thing is finding something you enjoy and look forward to.  No matter how effective something is if it feels like a chore you aren't gonna be very motivated to do it.  The music is great although it could be louder or have an option of making it louder as you become more familiar with the moves.  I suck at line dancy type stuff but while it did take a while to get all the moves it does not feel anything close to line dancing choreography...The moves are effective and Chalene and others enthusiam is contagious.   I have never liked any other workout as much as Turbo Jam.  I have thought about purchasing different style workouts but instead have decided to just wait on Turbo Jam's new videos to come out because I think I would miss it too much if I did something else.  I have seen positive changes in my body and know when life lets me get back to Turbo Jamming regularly I will be greatly rewarded.  I encourage skeptics thinking this is just another Taebo wannabe to take another look, this might be the workout that makes you want to exercise regularly!

I absouletly love these workouts. It's seriously the only workout I've done where I have everything I wanted in one. It's so fun, and Chalene is very motivational, not to mention they have very attractive, inspirational people that workout with her in the videos. Like the one girl who lost 70lbs., I think, and has a 6-pack now!!! I can't believe that. Also, it's something very fun, and doesn't bore me, and I can still keep up with it and not get lost. I've tried maaaany other workouts, some were just walking in place and bored me to death, I about fell asleep while doing them, haha. Others were so advanced doing aerobics moves using steps and just were crazy and had no organization to the moves and I got lost every 2 minutes. I've also purchased a few expensive pieces of fitness equipment that haven't worked out... such as a treadmill, exercise bike, and a gazelle. It's not that I doubted that any of those machines or videos (and I must say I've done many more than are mentioned above) would work, but none of them could keep my interest and make me want to come back and do them again and again. The thing is, I was so sore the first few mornings after doing Turbo Jam, but I still couldn't wait to go workout. That's the key for me, if at the end of a workout, I feel like "Oh, thank God that's over", I probably won't keep doing it. If however, after finishing a workout, I think "Man, I can't wait till the next workout, that was so much fun!", which is the case with TJ, than I know I'll be back for more.  I totally recommend Turbo Jam to everyone!

I love these DVD's.  They are a lot of fun and I really look forward to doing them.  I like the spirited personality of Chalene.  This is a program that I know that I will stick to for life.  I can't wait for the additional DVD's to be released.  I recommend these DVD's to anyone you needs motivation to get up and get moving.

I have so much fun with the Turbo Jam workouts!  I love the music and just the comraderie of the crew.  I wish the music was a little louder, though.  I'm 46, and this workout is really toning my abs and my hips.  I don't care for the Jamm'd feature at the end of the dvd.  It makes Chalene seem mean spirited.

I have had this workout for a couple months now and wish I had saved my money.  It is an effective, sweat breaking workout, and I believe it will give results if you can get past the silly antics of the participants. I have never had a product that annoyed me so much, even if it is effective. (Even Denise Austin is not this annoying)  When I pay this much money for a product, I WILL let something like a goofy presentation distract me.  Teenagers will like this one, but I am put off by juvenile antics of Charlene and crew--i.e. making constant faces etc.  The music is not as great as advertised, either--it fits the  chaotic "paarr-tay" atmosphere on the tape. I have most of Beachbodie's workouts, but  I think this one will go [].

Ohmigosh!  I got my Turbo Jam system a week ago and haven't put it down yet.  I LOVE IT!  It doesn't feel like exercise at all to me, but I know I'm really working out by the sweating that I'm doing after it's over.   I'm having a ball.  While it's too early to have lost any weight or inches because of it, I know it's coming. Not only that, with all the moving I'm doing, my cholesterol is bound to come down. If you're thinking about trying it.  DO IT.   You WON'T regret a minute of it.

I just finished my first session of Turbo Jam Learn & Burn.  It begins with a segment titled Learn the Elite 11.  I found this very helpful.  I completed the learning segment and the 20 minute beginner workout.   I worked up a sweat and I can really feel it in my butt and the back of my thighs which is where I need it the most.  I am 44 years old, 5'5" and 138 lbs.  I have not been exercising much over the last two years, so I am not in great shape.  I was able to complete the workout with no problems.  It was fun and the time did go by fast.  I will continue to review as I progress through the set of dvd's.

I absolutely LOVE this workout! I teach step aerobics 3 times a week and I also use other exercise videos. I have never taken a class, whether in person or via video that was more fun that Turbo Jam! The music is incredible. The workout is intense and you really feel your muscles working. I've only been using it a few weeks and I have already lost pounds and inches. I lost about 100 pounds about 7 years ago, but I could never lose the last "20". Turbo Jam is making that happen. I love it!

I just started Turbo Jam this week and all I can say is I wish I found this sooner. Chalene is so sincere and so motivating - you feel like you've known her. I have done every workout there is on the market and this one is by far, the one that has motivated me the most. Keep up the fantasic work Chalene. You and Turbo Jam are a gem. I highly recommend this to all. Don't try it, buy it!
