Absolutely love it, and looking forward to repeating it

By Jennifer EIcher, Georgia, Verified Reviewer

I'm halfway through Phase 3, and was a little worried in Phase 1 because I thought it might be a bit too simple. Phases 2 and 3 changed my mind. The workouts ARE different between phases, and the reps and execution of the workouts are different within phases (e.g., sometimes you do 2 sets of 15, sometimes 3 sets of 10, sometimes you change the order, etc.). You truly do not do the same workout twice, and interestingly, it really does make a difference. The nutrition is key. It will require attention and diligence, and you can't expect to exercise your way out of bad nutrition choices, but they can't make the program any clearer.

The user is not off the hook; it requires discipline and perseverance and consistency to change your body. But if you bring those three traits to THIS program, then change you shall. The best thing is that, once the 80 days are over, you can do it again, and it will still be a challenge, because there's always a way to do the workouts better, lift heavier weights, tighten nutrition, etc. The results will keep coming. It is NOT A QUICK FIX. It's WORK. And IT WORKS.

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

Misleading

By Christine Gonzalez, Houston, TX, Verified Reviewer

This program only gets dramatic results for people who have already been working out for at least 6 months or for skinny people who want to build muscle. The timed nutrition program does not help you lose weight even in the weight loss bracket. The workouts can get annoying because they waste time towards the end joking around and pausing for no reason. There is so much up and downshifting in the cardio flow workouts that you get dizzy. It’s not really 80 days, it’s 90. The bands roll around your thighs and leave bruises. The sliders pop out under your feet frequently. I wasted three months of hard work and doing timed nutrition to lose 5 pounds and a few inches. I could have done that walking my dog.

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

Mixed feelings

By Mel B, Montreal, Quebec, Canada, Verified Reviewer

I was so excited to start this program. I loved all of Autumn programs, and just love Beachbody in general, so after doing several programs, I was immensely looking forward to this one.

At first, I loved the new exercises, the variety of loops, sliders, and weights. But then as the program progressed, I started really finding the hour workouts just not enjoyable due to the repetitiveness of the third rounds. I had very good results with 30-minute workouts, and especially 21 Day Fix, so to simply double a workout and call it Obsession started to seem a little annoying to me. I found her less coaching and motivating, and more joking around with the cast. For someone at home working out by themselves, watching someone just laugh and take their time while waiting for the next move just began to get obnoxious for me.

It's unfortunate for me to even feel badly towards one of her workouts and feel the need to leave a review, but I needed to be honest. I would, however, be lying if I said that I did not get any results. During phase one my body started feeling better than ever, but to not enjoy the workouts as each day went on, I just didn't find it worth it. I'm on day 45 and I really just started to tune out and lose motivation.

Would I say it's a waste of time? No. There are many enjoyable things about it. Would I recommend it over other programs? No. Will I most likely finish the program but leave out the workouts I despise, such as Cardio Flow? Yes. Sorry Autumn, but this program wasn't my favorite.

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

Thought they should get another star

By Dave, Colorado, Verified Reviewer

I just started the first day of phase 2 and it's really a great workout, so I wanted to give it 5 stars. I'm impressed at the strength gains.

My absolute favorite!

By Ashley Little, Pittsburgh, PA, Verified Reviewer

I was very nervous and apprehensive about starting this program. The time nutrition seemed a little scary, and I am terrible at finishing programs that are longer than 3 weeks! But one month in and I cannot wait to keep going. First of all, I need a program that is more weights-based than cardio, because I hate cardio. There is cardio in this program but it is more focused on weights and sculpting.

Secondly, and my favorite part, these were filmed live in late 2017. Which means that they are doing exactly what you are doing and struggling with the same things you are struggling with. They do a weekly video of the cast talking about how their week is going, and it is just so refreshing to see so much honesty in a workout program. The same goes for Autumn. You see so much more of her personality during these workouts. Instead of walking around most of the time, she is like 95% down there doing exactly what you are doing. You also see her have to lighten her weights and struggle with her own issues. The laughing and personal feeling of this program is what makes me so excited to keep going!

And last, the timed nutrition. I have actually been able to follow this nutrition plan more than any other. I guess I needed someone to tell me exactly what to eat and when to eat it. It does require meal prepping and planning, which is something I was terrible out. But the plan is forcing me to things I have never done before, and it makes me feel more confident in my ability to stick with this for another two months!

P.S. As far as the "80" different workouts. Yes, through every phase the moves are the same, but the way the workout is structured is different every day (with the exception of Cardio). However, the cast is showing up every day that you so it feels different every time!

Beware

By Princess Sarcasma, Chicago, IL, Verified Reviewer

You are told by the coaches that “there are 80 different workouts." So far, this is a lie. We finished the first week and when I went to preview the second week, each day has the same moves, you simply increase reps. I feel like I was misled by my coach. The timed nutrition is difficult to follow, unless you don’t work. I am very upset at how misleading this program is.

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