Has anyone had any success with Turbo Fire?

I had a few questions.

*What are you thoughts?

I was thinking of getting Hip Hop Abs b/c it incorporates abs w/o floor work but I'm not much into the dancing type workouts.

Turbo Fire seems like something I can tolerate though that is similar to Turbo Jam but not so much (b/c I'm not really a fan of Turbo Jam..however I can't say much on that since I've only tried the Turbo Jam Fat Blaster Dvd).

*The program on Beachbody totals to around $144 though! My gosh! Is it cheaper going through beachbody "coaches"?

*When it says "3 easy payments" what does that mean exactly? Do they take a payment out of your checking account monthly or weekly or what?

Thanks for any input.

/Edit I saw on the Beachbody website:
"Your credit card will be billed as follows:
Today you will be billed $44.90 plus any tax if applicable
If you choose to keep the product,
30 days from today you will be billed $19.95
30 days after that you will be billed $19.95
30 days after that you will be billed $19.95
30 days after that you will be billed $19.95
A final $19.95 will be billed 30 days after that."

So this means I'll be charged $44.90 at the time I purchase...and then 19.95 every month after that? They don't jip you and bill you extra right?

    I have had great results with Turbofire! I will say if you don't like turbojam you won't like turbofire. Its kickboxing with alot of dance. If you don't like choreography then you might want slim in 6, power 90, brazil butt lift, or 10 minute trainer. Its not cheaper through a coach but you do get bonus workouts. You get a free coach whenever you buy from Beachbody.

    Is Turbo Jam and Turbo Fire the same thing except Turbo Fire is more intense? Thanks for all the info. I was thinking of Power 90 but isn't that a less intense version of p90x? I might consider that one if it doesn't require any equipment.

    I'm on my 8th week of Turbo Fire right now and I love it. I've lost 25 pounds and 8 and 1/4 inches. I looked at Turbo Jam and it looked boring so I got Fire instead and it's been perfect for me. I tried Insanity but couldn't keep up. Maybe after Turbo Fire...

    I made it to Week 8 of TF, and as the holidays came around fell way off schedule and have started again. I've had great success! When I first started I was 173.5, and this time around I'm starting at 153.5 and have the beginnings of definition in my stomach for the first time ever! I agree that if you don't like the choreography in TJ then you probably won't like TF as they're similar moves at a faster pace. I got my copy off Ebay for about $80. The risk is that you may end up with a burned copy that won't work when you get it home so it's important to buy from a well-established seller.
    I started with TJ and followed the schedule for a month and then moved onto TF and now TJ is way too slow for me lol.
  • Great job you two That really motivates me :D I'm wanting to start a program soon with a schedule that way I can keep myself on track and I think TF might just be the one I feel like I'm trying to choose a college major...lol...such a big decision Haha

    Turbofire is the same moves as Turbojam but way more intense with better music. I lost 15 pounds and 2 dress sizes with Turbofire and I am going for another round of it and now I do it with Chalean Extreme and I love it. Power 90 is less intense but it comes with all of the equipment that you need, resistance bands, etc.

    Great job! After reading all the stories about it I think that;d be the best Beachbody program for me. I'm excited about ordering it next week.
    Does it get boring after a while? I would think not since you are doing a different Dvd everyday. But I don't know. So when the 30 days are up on the 'class schedule' do you just start from the Day 1 again?

    Beachbody DVDs are about $120 per set. Add up the charges per month with each payment option to make sure it's ~$120, but I don't think they screw you on that.

    How long are the Turbo fire workouts? Do you change routines daily or weekly? How many weeks is the whole program? Do you do other cardio besides workout? Enough with the questions right?

    Turbo Fire is AMAZING!! It is the MOST FUN workout with the best results I have ever done! I have done turbo Jam and p90x as well. I think Turbo Fire is the best hands down. It is fast paced with great music and great motivation by Chalene. I have been doing it for 2 months plus started with one month of Turbo Jam. I lost 15 lbs and 18.25 inches since jan. 1.

    I have also done Jillian M. 30 day shred. Although this is an intense workout, it is SO BORING compared to Turbo Fire.... Turbo Fire is as intense if not more in my opinion. More dance cardio kickboxing vs weight traiining, although there are resistance training videos in Turbo Fire that are amazing using bands that come with the set when you purchase.

    HTH...>BUY Turbo Fire, you won't be disappointed!

    The workouts are anywhere from 10-60 minutes long so you have a lot of variety. You don't do the same routine daily.
    The first 4 week you do H-I-I-T workouts and strength training
    The second 4 weeks you do Cardio and strength training
    The third 4 weeks you do H-I-I-T again and strength training. 12 weeks all together.
    But everyday is different as well as every week. There is little chance you'll get bored.

    There is the Advance class options as well. You can buy the advance classes when you purchase the program or buy them later from teambeachbody.com. The advance classes are pretty great too. If you buy the advance classes the program lengthens to 20 weeks.

    Hope this helps you. :bigsmile:
    I love TurboFire! Seriously the best money I ever spent.
    My favorite workouts are Core 20, HIIT 15, HIIT 30, Lower 20, Abs 10.

    The HIIT workouts are my favorite and they burn a lot of fat. They are short but by no means any easier.
