Workout Sets/Systems You Wish You Never Purchased...

[juberann]

Slim in 6 and Slim series was another mistake I made Debbie Siebers is delightful but the workouts in SS especially were too dang L O N G Slim in 6 bored me to tears. I wanted so badly to like these. It didn't happen
Turbo Jam.... yet another loser for me. I thought these workouts were so cheesy and I could never figure out why everyone was raving about these workouts ??? but I was persistant with this set and got rid of and reaquired it numerous times before FINALLY giving up. I eventually gave up on BeachBody workouts.

I love systems! I think it's the promise of results, and I'm also a person that likes structure in her workouts. Oh...and I love infomercials.

The Firm Wave - I had high hopes for this because 1) I have a cult-like devotion to the Firm, and 2) I love the Transfirmer and thought the Wave was a similar concept. The Wave was awkward to use, the workouts were tried too hard to incorporate the equipment, and it slid all over my carpeted workout area. That said, my daughter loves playing on it, so I've kept it around.

Tracy Anderson Meta - I didn't click with Tracy's personality, her sexy faces annoyed me, and I didn't like the voice-over cuing. I've been recently tempted by her rebounder workout, though. Dang it.

APY 60 and Blissology- I still have these, and I don't totally regret purchasing them because they appear to be excellent yoga practices, but I've discovered I enjoy live yoga classes much more.

I actually loved it, but that was probably because I had nothing else to compare it to.

I wanted to like it because I liked BSS1, and generally liked the new flavor of Firm, but the stick was such bad quality and the workouts didn't seem as well put together as BSS1. Then just as I tried to trade it, the set went retail and I ended up having to SASE everything. $80 down the drain. I'm glad you liked it, but the experience soured me on Firm and systems.

RKS - without a doubt!

I have disliked workouts within other systems, but have always been able to trade the individual workouts. I think I might have to break up RKS to trade, since I've had no takers on it as a system

I also dislike Firm Express. Somehow it is simultaneously too easy and too hard for me. I think I'll end up trading it too. But will probably have to split it up to trade as well!

I don't buy too many but I regretted P90x - I didn't give it a fair test in that I only did a couple of those workouts. Those were enough to completely turn me off. I really don't have the desire to do them ever. Set was way boring, the style was also boring - nope not for me.

STS Cardio - I agree - not Cathe's best here - the only workout I value is TravelFit.

I don't know if I'd say that I "regret" buying these workouts....I have just haven't used them yet!

STS
Shock Cardio
Cathe's Low Impact

I love Cathe, but for some reason, I just never tried these.

Eventually, I'll dust them off and probably marvel why I hadn't tried them before!

The Supreme 90 set was a huge let down, as well

I really, really did not like Supreme 90...glad to see someone else here didn't like it...I thought I was the only one that didn't like it. Also the very worst set I ever brought was Shaun T's very first workout HIP HOP AB..too easy and Shaun T was so, so annoying

I did it for a month or so, but the kettlebells threw my back out and set me back a couple of months. Since then I've been avoiding kettlebells because I can't afford another back injury, so RKS just sits there and taunts me. I've tried to trade it, but haven't found any takers. The money I shelled out would have been better spent on something like P90X2 or perhaps even Tapout.

I've gotten more value from the $30 X-Factor than the $200 from RKS with the kettlebells.

Did you really spend $200 on RKS? I thought that it was $120?

You should try to sell it on Amazon.

CLX. I love Chalene, but I found the a lot of the exercises to be awkward and I injured myself. Twice. I really wanted to like it too.

Interesting side note, I have noticed that CLX tends to be polarizing around here.

Nothing to add except that I LOVE your signature line, FightinFlab. Can't quote a sig line so here's a cut and paste:
