    It's a body shaming group fitness program for women.

    I come close to that just running. If their customers are large enough, it's doable. Probably not HIIT though.

    Since they body shame larger people I'm not sure that they are their typical clientele

    no, but them being knobs that doesn't negate their claim about the calorie burn

    Personally, I would never patronize a business that thinks of their clients as 'pigs' and that tries to publicly humiliate anyone who questions their practices. But YMMV.

    That guys tweet were mental...

    So is skinny pigs but to each their own. If you have no issue with the attitude of the owner and their advertising go for it. I personally would never go to a place where the owner is so unprofessional and insensitive

    you asked a question - people responded with their thoughts about the program after doing research - opinions (which you asked for) can be judgemental - so you kind of got exactly what you asked for

    not to mention if you go to their website they promote a protein powder that CLAIMS to boosts metabolism,immune system,reduce blood pressure and reduce symptoms of stress and depression, reduces the risk of breast cancer in women and aids in weight loss among other crazy claims. yeah not happening,such bogus claims!!. oh and their workouts they say burn 9x more fat than other workouts LMAO

    it says has Glutathione in it which I found https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/glutathione#section=Top
