Dance Fun is my sort of exercise!

By Rachel T., Maketu, New Zealand, Verified Reviewer

I have been somewhat lazy and tired of walking up big hills to get a sweat on. Apart from it being a chore to get to the walks, it's just painful. Because I have always enjoyed dancing in front of the television since I can remember I thought I'd give Figure 8 a go.

It's been two weeks and I feel so much better in my body and mentally also. The program is great for learning new moves as it gives a good rundown on each of the moves, has an 8-week program to follow which has been really good for keeping me motivated. I like that it's a gradual staged program which I can do at my own pace and Jaana is positive and upbeat.

The Facebook page is another positive motivator and Jaana is active on the page, so you really feel connected even though I'm half a world away. The recent post showing modifications to the moves is an example of Jaanas commitment to us Figure 8ers to help us along our journey.

I like how my body is responding and I can't wait to see how I'm looking in another 6 weeks or 10 weeks, whatever it takes. I recommend anyone not into traditional exercise like running and gym workouts to give it a go.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Fantastic

By Rachel B., Yate, Bristol, United Kingdom, Verified Reviewer

I have the basic Figure 8 workout which works well on my iPad from the app. There are a few basic learning videos which I did first a few times. Then I tried the workouts and I love it. It’s hard, but it’s worth it and so great to improve your coordination.

I wanted this workout as I love dancing and want to tone up my tummy in particular and lose some weight.

I’m enjoying feeling and seeing the difference and looking forward to more as I keep going with it!

Thanks.

Figure 8 Fitness

By Dawn R., Pennsylvania, Verified Reviewer

I’ve done pretty much every kind of workout created. I’ve always had moderate results with each of them. But I was not attaining the type of look that I wanted. I did a lot of research and realized dance would be the best workout for my body type and desired results.

I’m between an Endomorph and Mesomorph body type. Easily build muscle but difficult to create that lean look. I tried many dance routines, but Figure 8 was the one that was the most fun, gave the best instruction, did not consume too much time, and had one of the most encouraging instructors. Jaana Kunitz is really fun, gently guides you through each move, reminds you that you can do this, and you look forward to each workout.

She also understands you are not a professional dancer, but she and her team make you feel like you can do anything and it’s inspiring.

Since doing this program, I have more of the lean look that I wanted and my weight, which always fluctuated, has balanced out. Her eating plan is sound and doable.

I spent most of my lifetime looking for the right balance. I’m so grateful that this system is available, because finding that "one thing" is never easy. This was my one thing. I highly recommend trying this no matter what your body type or weight. It requires a little room and a little time. With the ROI being incredible.

Skills, motivation, community, and fun

By Jo-Anne S., San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua, Verified Reviewer

I stumbled upon Figure 8 Fitness online, and I am happy I did. I have found a place where I am learning rhythm, dance steps, dance moves and working up a sweat in the privacy and comfort of my home. The online community is amazingly supportive in which even the founders of Figure 8 are commenting daily on members' posts. There are optional monthly challenges that helps one refocus and tap back into their motivation. I hope to take the skills I am learning onto a dance floor in public in a few months; because by then I will be in much better shape and will be wanting to show off, not only my moves but also myself.

I love Figure 8!

By Christine B., Williamsburg, VA, Verified Reviewer

As a young woman I took dozens of dance classes and was on teams during high school and college. Now 3 decades and 5 challenging pregnancies later I’ve become sadly out of shape. I found Figure 8 through an ad on FB about a month ago and was immediately intrigued. I just started my 4th week and I look forward to exercising every day. I haven’t taken measurements again since getting started but will do that next week. Regardless of those results, I feel better, I’m sleeping better, and my energy level is higher. So I’ll be continuing. I love the different dances in each session and it feels wonderful to be stretching and moving to fun music again! And the support system from the online community is wonderful!

They suddenly changed my plan and limited access, asked to pay additional monthly fee

By Wenjuan L., Canada, Verified Reviewer

I purchased Figure 8 Fitness in August 2020, had full access to the program. This year they suddenly changed their mind and asked me to pay an additional monthly fee and that almost every section should around 45 minutes, they only give me a couple of minutes' access! It's ridiculous! Never experienced anything like this before!

Ridiculous!

Length of Use: 3–6 months

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Self motivation needed!

By Debbie M., Princeton, WV, Verified Reviewer

I am positive this program does work. However, I need to be motivated to push play.

I bought it in July 2020. I was all hyped up to get my body back into shape. All those success testimonies really hit me. If they could do it then I could too.

Started in August. Only pushed okay maybe 3 times. Then September came around and I was determined to press play. Well, guess what? I didn’t. Still haven’t but am ready to do so now. It’s time for me.

I know it’s the holiday season but if I can press play during the feasting months then I can press play for the next year. Wish me luck!

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

Could order the Figure 8 Basic DVD upon sign up

The step-by-step instructions given

The promise of it working and getting fast results

The monthly detox soups and daily coaching emails, as well as the contests

Feeling a little intimidated by all the sleek people in the videos

Wish they would use some of us fat people in the videos

Kind of hard to find all the information at first when first joining, but after spending time with the app it became much easier

Figure 8 review

By Ruth K., Malta, Verified Reviewer

So I found out these workouts by coincidence and sheer luck I have to say. I have been "figure-8ing" for 9 months now and have never felt better. I always liked exercise, but it used to be like...ufff, exercise time. Not anymore. These workouts are fun, and the music is great so you don't have to look for the right music all the time. There's a big variety of workouts, from easy to intense and from 10 minutes to an hour. The instructor is great, she doesn't scream into your face (like most of them do) and encourages you to workout at your health pace.

What can I say...I do these workouts 4/5 times a week, health permits, and I wouldn't change them, ever! I totally recommend them for weight loss, skin and muscle tone, and if you don't need any of this, then do them for fun!

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Love it! Great results!

By Ophelia H., France, Verified Reviewer

I really love the Figure 8 program so much! I don’t usually like home exercise programs, but I totally love this one. I’m completely uncoordinated at dancing but I love the dance drills and working on getting better, and it makes the time fly! I also follow the diet Jana has laid out, and I’m seeing such great results all within a month! So pleased! Can’t wait for another month of it!

Praise for Jaana

By Grace T., Toronto, Canada, Verified Reviewer

I love this program. Jaana is the most enthusiastic coach you will ever have and the accompanying Facebook group, the "transformation club," the most supportive group you'll ever be part of. Latin dance is fun and powerfully strengthens and shapes the core, but also tones arms and legs. I did not always follow the menu suggestions, and had to limit workouts due to a demanding schedule, but I still lost weight and inches from my waist. There are still some technical difficulties with the app. Can't recommend this program enough.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Bad customer service

By Lisa B., Charlotte, NC, Verified Reviewer

I recently ordered this workout, never received the emailed password, was able to set up one, and downloaded the app on my Roku TV, but I can't access the workouts on it, it keeps saying I have to select a plan and pay more money to use the TV vs. my Android phone. You can't deal with anyone and I'm very frustrated and I haven't even started the workouts. I'm through with this company, even if I do lose weight, or ultimately enjoy the workout. Your customer service makes it hard to trust your product. You can do better, maybe.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

Not sure because I can't access it

Confusing product purchasing

Streaming choices are not clear

I put that I haven't received the product because I can't access it
