Changed my life!
12/13/2008 - Samantha of Manitoba, Canada writes:
2 years ago weighing 200lbs (5'3")I ordered this product, put the first video on, shut it off after 4 minutes of learning the moves and cried my eyes out because I had no faith that a fat person could actually do these moves. Turbo Jam changed my life and my attitude. [] was very motivating and the music was great. Give it a chance. I could barely lift my foot off the floor when I first started and now I fly through Cardio Party like nothing. It's crazy! I've lost 45lbs and I feel great. This is definately a product for someone who needs major motivation. The only con is that if you are really overweight and out of shape like I was you have to take baby steps. But man is it ever worth it!
Good Stuff!

I ordered this a couple of months ago after my research returned rave reviews and they were right! The Good: fun, upbeat, full-body workout, really gets the sweat going and the heart pumping. I felt and saw results quickly even without following the recommended nutrition plan. (which is quite sensible and easy to follow) Ten pounds and 3 inches disappeared in the first month! The music is enjoyable and there are two Jammers who demonstrate lower-impact options for those who need it. The Bad: It's very rough on the knees (the low-impact options help somewhat) Chalene also doesn't cue well and frequently launches into new sequences without demonstration. Following the workout can be very frustrating until you do it a few times. Overall I'd highly recommend this! Once you get the hang of it, you'll look forward to it, I promise :)
Hip workout w/energetic music

I HATE working out. Tried this 6 months ago & kept doing it until I lost something! Course, I lost 25lbs and kept it off because Turbo Jam CAN NOT be any beter or even remotely boring! The music is NOT my speed but I'm not selecting music from ITUNES either! It's important that a person like me lost the weight.
Rockin' Music?
9/3/2008 - Sonja of Georgia, USA writes:
I really do like TurboJam and Chalene, and use the videos ocassionally to mix up my workouts. The Rocking Music that they advertise isn't my kind of music. I like the concept of fitting music to the workout, but I knew none of the songs (mostly hiphop and stuff. I'm more rock and heavy metal). Also, it's the same elite 11 moves just put in different sequences, so it does get boring to me after a while. Can be a little hard on the knees, and if you're compensating it's easy to cheat and not get a very good workout (and thus not loose any weight if that's your goal). BUT like I said, now that I'm in better shape due to other videos, I do like to pop it in every so often to mix up my workout.
definitely worth a shot.

If you're just looking to try one of them instead of buying the entire package. fat burn dvd is by FAR the best one that will get you super tired. I would consider myself in okay shape before buying this and I was wore OUT. My younger sister, who is 15 and plays sports everyday was completely exhausted after doing the fat burn DVD for 15 minutes. It's definitely good for a cardio substitute if you can't make it to the gym that day. Burns LOTS of calories for sure! Aside from the cheesy music and charlene's overly excited weird comments and dance moves this is a good purchase for sure.
Worked well for me!

I was skeptical about buying this workout based on an infomercial, but was very pleasantly surprised with my results. I followed Chalene's diet suggestions exactly, as well as the workout plan and schedule, and took off 18 pounds in 3 months- it was the last of my baby weight with my second baby, so these were the kind of pounds that don't come off easily- before TJ, I was doing the Firm workouts (which I enjoyed) but I was feeling stuck and not seeing any real results. I am generally in very good shape (I've always exercised 4-5 times a week, about an hour a day), but never saw any tone in my arms until using TJ- and my 'new mom' abs have finally disappeared as well. The workouts are very challenging from the beginning and allow you to ramp up your intensity as you get stronger- follow the modifiers at the beginner to get used to the workouts. As with any workout, it takes commitment to a good diet and actually doing the workouts 5 days a week or more, but this one does deliver visible results. Chalene is likable, and the music in the DVDs is generally acceptable- it does grow on you over time, for the most part. I found most of the cast likable as well (although not as much as Chalene), and the moves are not overly complex or dancey if you give yourself a chance to learn them- I'm not a dancer by any means, and usually took 2 or 3 tries at the most for each DVD to get all the moves down. Worth it, in my opinion.
Am I the only one who didn't like this?

The only way I can think why this has such high ratings is people are forcing themselves to like it because it's soooo expensive...I liked the ab jam but that was about it...the cardio is a joke...you hardly ever move your legs and twirling my arms in the air forever just doesn't do anything for me...I thought the music was kind of odd and Chalene kind of irritating...this is definitely not worth the money!!!
better than chocolate cake

I have been doing TJ for over 4 years now and I have to say it's the best workout ever. I've lost over 48 lbs and have kept it off and I do not diet. I eat well but I'm not a strict dieter and never will be.My body is so ripped and my abs are killer. Chalene has so much energy and really keeps you motivated throughout your workout. I have gotten so many friends hooked on TJ and they love it as much as I do. I have tried so many different programs and TJ is really the only one that does what it says it does. It kicks your butt but it's well worth it. So to all you Turbo freaks keep up the good work and if your deciding whether to buy TJ I highly recommend it...Rock ON
I can't stand Chalene
6/13/2008 - loren of ny, usa writes:
I like the workout. It is difficult and kicks your butt. The music is OK I guess but Chalene is annoying. The stupid things after the workouts are a joke...and she is always shouting things out as if she grew up in the ghetto...I can't stand that. Chalene, you are a white girl with blonde hair!! Beside that, I like the workout.
it works!!

i ordered turbo jam in feb of 2008. i started using it in march. i did the ab jam every day for two months so far. i love it! it really works! i have been heavy all my life. my stomach area was very flabby.. and now, i see definition! i cannot believe it! im so close to having a six pack! if you are deciding whether you should order this or not, definitely get it! you will NOT regret it!
this is BIG TIME!!

This workout is awesome. I'm still young and was a dedicated athlete just a short 3 years ago. But totally fell out of the exercise scene and didn't gain any weight at all. But I lost every bit of definition I had, and I've only been doing this for a few days and it has made me feel a ton better. I had more energy, I laugh out loud at these guys, and talk about them like they're my old buddies! Jenelle is my main inspiration, I have a similar body type and want hers, and its reachable! Chalene cracks me up, too...I'd love to be her best friend, too!
LOVE IT, but...

I really do love Turbo Jam. This is the one exercise program I've tried and can say I'm truly excited about my workout everyday. And as many people have been saying in these reviews, is that Chalene is very upbeat but not annoying and that does mean a lot. I do wish Chalene would stress the importance of proper breathing during the workout. I used to work out with The FIRM videos and they really stress inhaling/exhaling at the appropriate time and it makes the exercises a lot easier on you! I do agree to with some of you who say that some of the moves are a little tough on the knees, so be sure to modify the moves on your own to ensure your own safety. All in all, great work out and I love that you get so many DVDs with your order... you'll never get bored!
Turbo jam
4/7/2008 - Virginia of WA, USA writes:
I love love love turbo jam. Its so much fun and it works. I have lost 40 pounds in 80 days. I recieved it in 5 days. The only thing I have to complain about was the person I talked to and ordered it from was very annoying. It was well worth dealing with her though.
Starting from 180!

Started using Turbo Jam 01/17/08 after first trying Slim in 6 for about 4 weeks prior. Using the latter caused me to lose about 4lbs, however, it didn't seem to be geared towards a lifelong change. So, after seeing the advertisement for TJ on the SN6 video, I quickly returned my DVD and received my TJ. Since then, I have ABSOUTELY fallen in love with the product. It's been 11 weeks on Turbo Jam, and so far, I have lost 14 lbs (total of 18 since Dec.07), and have gone from a snug size 14 to a looser size 10. I have gained an amazing amount of muscle, so I look and feel as though I've lost even more. I'm addicted to the workout, which has to be an oxymoron!!! I typically workout 6 days per wk, taking Sunday's off (or just doing the 20 minute). I've been rotating my days doing Cardio 40-45 (get on the ball and/or cardio mix 1) and 20 min Abs on M, W, F, and turbo scult with 20 minute on T, TH, S. Right now I'm experiencing a plateau, so this week I'm trying my best to cut back (doing only the 20 minute and running daily to change it up a bit). I feel stronger, prettier, lighter, more energetic, healthy. I can see myself wanting to be active for the rest of my life!! I can't help to tell everyone I know about this treasure on a DVD!
LOVE IT!

I bought turbo jam about 2 weeks ago. I have been doing Turbo Jam every other day and just running on the treadmill on the days I'm not using turbo jam. I have lost 2 lbs and an inch in my waist. I am noticing a difference and feeling great. I love these workouts. I use the 20 minute workout when I am running short on time but the 40 cardio workout is my favorite. I never thought I would hear myself say that but I really do enjoy. I rush home in the evenings to get my workouts in before my son and husband get home. I have told all my friends it is a great workout and Charlene is awesome.
Makes you sweat
3/30/2008 - Ashlie of Ohio, USA writes:
I've been using turbo jam for two months now and I certainly feel myself getting stronger. I already see more definition in my arms, thighs, and belly (my problem areas)and it definitely makes you sweat! I've done Tae Bo in the past and I didn't sweat nearly as much in Billy Blanks 30 minutes than I do in Chalene's 20! However, while I've lost inches, I haven't lost much weight. But muscle weighs more than fat, so pay attention to how you feel and look, not to your scale- you'll only be discouraged. While I will not say it is 'fun' (I'll never claim a workout to be fun) it is entertaining and I look forward to it far more than I ever looked forward to Tae Bo. The instructor, Chalene is perky, but not in an annoying way, and she does not do the standard 'joke' of saying 'one more' and having you do twenty more. All in all, it is enjoyable, and you will see results if you stick with it.
Great product!

I love Turbo Jam! I carefully considered buying the set as I didn't particularly want to spend $60 on something I'd hate, however I've never regreted my decision. The Turbo Jam set is excellent. The dvd's are so fun to work out to and even a beginner like me can keep up, most of the time anyway! Don't hesistate buying this product, you won't regret it.
I love it

I love Chalene's workout, Turbo Jam. I never thought I'd get into exercise, but she really makes it fun. She combines kickboxing, dance, tai chi, and other great body-boosting workouts to the mix. It is so much fun! The best part is, Chalene really makes you feel like you're working out with her, and gives great stress-reducing advice throughout the workouts. If you want to take out frustration or anger through work-out's, then Turbo Jam is for you! I am seeing toning and definition in my body within a week of daily workouts. Your energy will be up and you'll actually look forward to work-outs, I know I do!
AWSOME! I LOVE THIS WORKOUT!

I have been using this product for about a month now and I have lost 23lbs! Of course, along with a healthy diet. It like anything else, you can not try to incorporate a workout plan and continue to eat unhealthy, that will never work! The workout Shalene Johnson is fun, motivating and everything you need to keep going. I recommend this video to anyone who is serious about changing there life, not to those that are looking for a wonder product or a quick fix. Also, the people in the video are real people who have been through it!
It's a party!

I purchased the workout set 5 weeks ago and I am in love. I tried the leaern and Burn first and that was alright. Then I tried the 20 minute workout and that was just okay. I almost regretted buying the program. Then I tried the Cardio Party Mix 1 and fell in love. It was exactly what I had hoped for: fun, high energy, perfect. I have other dvd's and this is my favorite by far. Definetly delivers!
