New Release - Sadie Lincoln Love You Lower Body with Prevention Magazine - Page 6

Does anyone have any feedback on this set? Not the problems with Rodale, please, but rather the content of the set. I have ordered from Rodale several times in the past and haven't had any problems with their customer service. I like Sadie and have her Barre3 set sold on QVC. I wondered if this offered anything different.

Thanks.

Ann,

I have it, and I love Sadie. I don't really think it offers anything different from her QVC set. I really like the 30 minute workout (Total Body Blast DVD), but the main workout on the main set didn't thrill me, not sure why. For the amount of content that is included it seems a bit on the pricey side.

I agree...waaay overpriced! For $15-20 less, they'd be good workouts.

I did Total Body Blast last evening-the 30 min one and loved it and the bonus 10 min abs workout. I am now KEEPing and paying for this set. I like it a lot...It is pricey though, should be $45 tops, not $70 for all the DVDs. I want the book too- but I never truly end up using the books enough ...

Tracy,

Total Body Blast is my go to workout these days when I only have 30 minutes. I did it last night with the 10 minute boost add-on, and enjoyed every bit of it. I've grown to like the 40 minute main workout as well. I just wish there 2 or 3 additional full length workouts in the set.

i will probably not order this prevention set at this price.

refresh my memory though..... historically, how has Rodale lowered the prices on such sets?

i can't recall if that was ever their progression, if you know what i mean. i've seen the Chris Freytag DVDs offered retail and on their site, right out of the gate.

and even when their DVDs were sold retail, it was limited, like their own site, collage, and possibly walmart. i know Mary only carried a few Prevention workouts by Chris too.

lately, these sets appear to be exclusively from the rodale store or a special website set up for just the initial offer. and the Drop 2 Sizes with Rachel has never gone cheaper yet, nor has it been offered on any other site, including Amazon.

the conclusion i'm reaching is that it may be a long time before we see any of these sets offered elsewhere or cheaper than what they're going for now, unless you find them on ebay.

IIRC, the price for D2S dropped pretty quickly. I believe the original price was $90+ but I ended up getting it (from Rodale) for around $25 only a few months after it was released. I have my fingers crossed that Sadie's set drops in price just as quickly

I like Sadie but IMO all her workouts target your lower body, so if you have her other DVDs (or her streaming subscription) I don't think this set is going to offer anything substantially different enough to warrant the outrageous price tag. I will say the set is bright and appealing but I don't think your "results" are going to be better with these versus her other workouts.

That said, if/when this comes down in price (and preferably sold elsewhere) I'd get it.

rose2boys · 04-01-14, 06:27 AM

When I emailed Sadie (via her CS), I was told that they would only be available thru Rodale or B3 studios...I think if you look on the website store, it directs you to Rodale. (I did give them my $.02 that I thought they were waaay overpriced & my displeasure w/Rodale.)

I do like the look/feel of the set & the workouts are a bit different (not much tho), but I cannot justify the price/content. I will probably send back --- even tho I technically didn't really "order"! Love Sadie, hate Rodale....grrrr! Hope she never works with them again. Maybe if enough people complain to her CS about them, she will rethink the next time...

Not sure who sets the price point...is it Sadie (the "owner/creator") or Rodale (distributor)???
