Question About Beachbody Infomercials

[CarlaShanti]

I am in the distinct minority here, but I think everything about fitness infomercials is lame. Even if the product is fabulous, the informercial and marketing are lame and embarrassing to me.

You and me both! So did our minority just double?

When I see an infomercial, I change the channel, even if it's for a fitness product. I just hate the hard sell and tugging at emotions.

I have to admit I also hate infomercials and also avoid them like the plague. I can't remember the last one I saw, but I'm not one for watching television either.

I hate infomercials also.
It was a source of extreme embarrassment for many years when I ended up getting Slim in 6 at my sister's urging. Then I was embarrassed when I thought I could jump right into Burn It Up and I couldn't finish it.

Is it me or am I the only one sick of the P90X infomercial? You can't escape it. I was in the house most of this weekend channel surfing and practically every single channel it was on sometime during the day (or night). I think I saw it on the spanish speaking channels also. Does Tony have stock in BB? Is that why they air it sooooooooo, many times? I've only seen the CLX infomercial once - they don't nearly play it as much. I can understand if it's their top seller but it's just too much.

P90X is on at least one every 2 hours in my area, and yes, it's annoying.

Ditto here and on multiple chanels. I have yet to see the CLX infomercial though? I see Hip Hop Abs is on sometimes, Sin6 rarely, and havent seen turbo Jam recently at all...

Ha!ha! Perhaps that was it?

I have no heart as I can't stand the crying bit in the infomercials, I don't care what product it is for. the one that stands out the most is the one in Sin6 where the lady just had a baby and then lost the weight and is crying up a storm.
I would be more happy for these people if they didn't cry. Makes me turn the channel.

No heart here : )
