 P90X Sep 06, 2010
The DVD's definitely kick my butt! I am still sore after the yoga one...and it has been 3 days! The diet part is more difficult to follow. I also cannot afford to purchase the supplements they encourage. So, I am only doing the DVD's and definitely seeing my strength increase, which is pretty much my reason for doing the program. The variety is great! He is also funny and keeps my interest.

This "Like New" product was really brand new. This workout program is Great! But be prepared to really workout. Can't workout every day, but still is well worth the effort. Thank you P90X
This product is legit Sep 03, 2010
Started using this product this week and am completely sore in places that haven't been sore in 15 years. The workouts are excellent and difficult but not impossible if you are in decent shape. I have been going to the gym for a long time and had been so bored with my routines. I wanted a way to increase my flexibility and strength (not just the appearence of strength). I would strongly recommend this product to anyone that has hit a plateau and needs to get off. Tony does a good job of keeping it interesting, at times I feel like I am being trained by Ace Ventura.
Worth every penny.

GREAT value Sep 01, 2010
As with any exercise product (especially those shown in informercials late at night when you're gorging on Doritos and thinking it would be nice to have a six-pack....... abs or beer...), it's completely worthless unless you choose to change your lifestyle and commit to the program. But if you're willing to take it seriously, you can't beat P90X.
Not only does the program come complete with specific nutrition information, a variety of workouts and an interactive website, but Tony Horton is always saying "Do your best and forget the rest" and reassuring you that even if you can't do the current workout now, you'll be able to do it in a few weeks if you stick with it. And he's right. Strength and endurance grows very quickly and if you follow the diet plan, you'll see results quickly.
I pause to mention that I started P90X over a summer where I could eat for free at work and so did NOT, in fact, follow the diet guide. Consequently, I didn't see the results that many people post online. HOWEVER, as a test, it was a success. Why? Because even though I wasn't as streamlined as I could/should have been, I've seen HUGE leaps in my strength and endurance and definite change in my physique. So using the diet guide correctly, you should see amazing results.
The workouts are TOUGH and some are LONG (an hour and a half of Yoga), especially if you're relatively new to working out. Most likely, you won't be able to hang with some of them all the way through even after two months - but this is a great motivator, as long as you don't let it get you down! There are two camps about Tony Horton's training style - you either love how corny he is or he gets annoying quickly. Either way, his motivation far outweighs whatever you may think of his style and the handy time bar and visual prompts for each exercise make it easy to follow what's going on should you wish to use your own music mix and turn down the video volume.
Another great motivator, by the way, is the included DVD "How To Bring It" where Tony shows you a short version of how the whole system works and gets you excited about doing the program. On days when I truly did NOT want to exercise, I'd force myself to watch this DVD and a bunch of the P90X Results videos posted on YouTube for inspiration. It never failed.
I HIGHLY suggest purchasing an array of weighted exercise bands at the same time you purchase P90X. They're mandatory unless you already own or plan to buy both a pull-up bar and a full set of dumbells. You won't be able to do the program unless you have these.
The website is great for not only planning and recording your workouts (which is a great motivator) but for connecting with other people using the program and getting answers to questions you may have. There is an additional fee to use some of the online things, but you can set up a profile and do many helpful things for free.
I never thought I'd work out at home and I certainly never thought I'd use an exercise video. But if you commit to pressing play every day, you quickly find that the workouts are so engaging (and sometimes so difficult) that your brain goes on autopilot and you put all your energy into the workout instead of wandering around a gym waiting for a bench to open up or trying to remember what comes next in your routine. Well worth it.
"Come on, come on, Bring it! X me!"

 DVD's unplayable or skip - Seller unresponsive Sep 01, 2010
I wanted these DVD's for a long time and finally the price was right. Free shipping and speedy delivery was a bonus. The problem was with the quality of the disks. Everyone of them are scratched from the way they are packaged I suspect. They come in a wallet. The sleeves are made of some type of construction paper.
Once I made the commitment to start the program I discovered the effects of the scratches... skips and freezing. I am still on phase one, 6 disks and 2 of them are faulty. I have attempted to contact this seller Five Times without a response. The P90X program, price and speed of delivery gets a 5, the sellers customer service, response to your issues and quality of merchandise gets a zero.
Purchase from this seller at your own risk. If you're lucky enough to get disks that play, you'll be very happy with your purchase and savings.
Note: Don't even try to read the user guide, you'll drive yourself nuts with all the typo's. I'm not just talking about a few... there are hundreds.
