Figure 8 Fitness

I have been a long time member now and still love Figure 8 Fitness. It is fun and helps me maintain my goals. Figure 8 offers fun moves and makes me smile while working out. I have no dance history but the break down of the moves helped, and when lost I just wiggle, haha. I recommend Figure 8 to my friends who want to move those stubborn kilos and want to have fun while they're at it.

As a woman, most of us struggle with weight gain at one point in time of our lives or another. I have been very lucky throughout my life as if I watched my diet at all, and did exercises, I remained pretty good. As you get older, it appears your body changes on you. This can be a shock to some and definitely was to me.

Little changes happen at 50, 55, 60...just like all those pesky books tell us. I thought I was above that, but it happens.

At 62, I was working way too much, sitting way too long, and was not moving much. Fifteen pounds later I didn’t like myself at all, and I didn’t feel good. I tried other diets, but nothing seemed to work.

I then heard about Figure 8 Fitness, and I love music and dancing, so I thought why not? That was about 18 months ago and my goal was losing 10 pounds. Following the diet, and doing some of the dance moves, I lost 15 pounds in about five weeks. Trust me, I was doing the low impact, and could never do the full dance segment at once - but I lost more than my goal, and felt good again.

Since that time I have tried to behave better, and get out and move more often. I remained between the 12 to 15-pound weight loss. If I had a "too fun" weekend, I’d go back to my updated way of food intake again for a few days and would come back down again. November and December this year it appeared I lost some of my self-control. I decided I didn’t want to get this out of hand when I had gained six of those pounds back. So again I join Janna’s challenge in January just for the additional daily help, menus, and encouragement to get off my butt. It’s worked again. It’s been three weeks and 5 pounds are gone, clothes are fitting again, and now my energy is back.

I share this information all the time when people say wow, you’ve lost weight. Truly what do you have to lose? It is a lifestyle change, and you have to pay attention to your food, but it’s basically easy. Certainly more time consuming if you’re used to swinging by McDonald's every day - but easy even if you’re not a cook. And you’re never, never hungry.

Give it a shot, what do you have to lose - other than that extra weight!

These workouts really do help tone your muscles. Plus they are so fun to do! My rotator cuff is torn 50% so I did physical therapy but it still hurt a lot. After doing this workout for over a year, my shoulder does not hurt anymore. It took a long time to get to that point, but the workouts worked better than the physical therapy exercises. I still have a lot of weight to lose, but when I am finished, I will be toned. I have a really good muscle base underneath.

I've been following the Figure 8 time table for two months and addicted to the workouts. Consequently, I have lost weight and toned up all over! When I emailed support to request if I could pay by PayPal (which I could), I got a reply within 24 hours. I started by learning the moves thoroughly, following Jaana's one-to-one instructions. The schedule is great to follow. I love the support given in the FB group, I find it very motivating. Jaana adds value within this group too, recently putting a video up regarding modifications to the moves. Very helpful! Thank you Figure 8.

I tried this product as it came with a money-back guarantee, so what did I have to lose? The answer is $50+. This workout just did not work for me, so I tried to return it for a refund. Body FX wanted DVD returned by certified mail, which I happily did. After the DVDs were delivered, they stop responding and never completed my refund. On the positive side, I still have access to the digital media that I paid for.

I was excited to receive Figure 8 and went to the website to purchase. Buying experience is not leaving me with a good feeling already. No confirmation email even though my credit card has been charged and no way to bypass the free trial option when you go to complete your order. There are just 2 options to click on before the final confirmation page: choose free trial that will auto-bill you every month if you don't cancel before...or choose free trial. You should have the choice NOT to select this option and still be able to get to a final confirmation page. Shame on you as a company. Not above board to have purchase set up this way at all, in my opinion.

I am now reaching out to customer service just to get confirmation that I will receive the product! Already uneasy about this whole transaction and that process should have been completely simple and transparent.

I will update review once this gets sorted out.

Bad bad bad.

I sent five emails over three months to try and get my login code but to no avail. They just don’t reply!

I’m not sure how one would go about getting your money back under their guarantee as they just don’t respond and there is no telephone number given to contact them.

Beware!

I also received a receipt with no followup email or download and my credit card was charged. I would appreciate the items I paid for. Can someone please contact me or email me the information.

I love this workout! It is so much fun, you don't feel you are working out. Just dancing! So glad I took the chance and ordered! Jaana the instructor is very good about explaining the moves. This beats the tradition gym any day! Absolutely love it and can't say enough good things about it. I look forward to working out now. Thank you so much!

I feel I have been deceived by good marketing and am not sure if this is a scam. I purchased this product online and my credit card was immediately charged £29.60. I received no confirmation email and have no idea how to access the product or how to contact customer services. The website advises to contact/email to request a refund within 60 days, but I cannot find an email address to make any contact. I would like to give this program a chance but currently I can’t access it.

Oh my goodness! This really worked for me. I had limited time to lose weight and due to a recent ankle injury put 2.5 kilos back on in 2 weeks. By modifying the steps and movements, I have lost just under 2 kilos in my first 2 days doing the basic package. Plan on alternating between steps and basic package for variety.
