I'm watching now. Not sure if I'll watch after this episode or not.

I watched it, but doubt I'll be watching it again. There are things that gyms will buy in quantity, and things that people will buy for home use. I can't imagine a gym spending $1195 each to buy several of those core things. A wealthy individual might buy one for the home, maybe.

I woke up in the middle of the night & watched part of the show. Those core balls & the other core thing look like they'd reek havoc on my right shoulder, which I injured years ago. I liked that Jillian didn't approve of the core sticks that had a cost of $1195. That was really ridiculous. I don't think I'd go out of my way to watch this, but I do appreciate Jillian's thinking that fitness should be affordable (if that's how she usually acts, I really don't know.)

I have it recorded and plan on watching later. From what it sounds like, not keeping interest of many here.

I think what also set her off about the core sticks was when he said "the men should grab this color and the women should grab this color." You could see the expression completely change on her face. If he would have been smart he would have said "advanced grab this color and intermediate grab this color."

I only got to watch the first 20 minutes of it while getting ready this morning and I'm excited to watch the rest of it tonight

ETA - From what I did watch, I really enjoyed it! It sounds like I might be only one of a few that did though.

I liked it, too, mainly because it was low-key, no fighting or sobbing, and Jillian was less annoying than usual. It's almost like a fitness-focused Shark Tank. I especially like hearing hints on how to grow a fitness business.

But I thought those core balls looked like shoulder killers, too. And I wish the testers were more age and size diverse. A fitness gimmick isn't going to take off unless it can be scaled to older and larger people.

I dvred it. Watching it right now. It's not what I expected. At first I thought it's just Shark Tank with workout equipment. I really liked when they brought out a male & female for each of them to work with to test their product on. I like it. I'll definitely watch the next one.

Does anyone know anything about their sponsor Retro Fitness? One of them popped up by my house & I've never heard of it before. (ETA) The name made me think it has some kind of retro niche like old school cardio classes to 80s music but the web site just makes it look like a chain gym with a retro looking design.
