Questions about the FitPrime videos!!

[Gatorfan76]

Hey Guys!
I have to admit all the posts about the FitPrime videos really sparked my interest. I went on their website (www.fitprime.com), and became really interested in buying them. However, they are pretty pricey!! For those who have done their workouts, I have several questions:

*Do you think they are worth all that money?

*Would they challenge someone of a really advanced fitness level?

* Is it wise to sign up for their 5 video presale for $110.00 for videos they haven't even filmed yet??

*How effective do you think the workouts really are?

*Are they something you can grow along with or will they be outdated within a year?

I know these are a lot of questions, but I really want to make sure I will like them before paying all that $$$.

Thanks guys , I'd appreciate any help!!!

I have pre-ordered Weights First and Abs First back in November. They came out with Weights First and replaced Abs First with Core First. I am one of those who thinks it wouldn't be wise to pre-order five tapes. Over at www.videofitness.com there is a very good thread about the pro and cons. What I didn't like about the offer was that it was 100 Dollars until March 4th and you got penalized 10 Dollars if you mailed in the payment after that. We are talking about tapes that aren't even made yet. I believe, if the company makes it, that there will be eventually five tapes but I am pretty sure it will take a lot longer than Spring 2003.

Weights First is a good workout and, like with the FIRMS, if you increase the weights the tape will grow with you. It emphasizes the lower body and you'll feel it in the hamstrings and glutes. I consider the Firm Classic Tapes timeless and the same goes for Weights First.

Weights First is something you have not seen before. If you expect a lot of Yoga you will be disappointed with this tape but the future videos will be more Yoga tapes.

Hope it helped.

Hi Gatorfan76, This is the first time I've posted here but I wanted to give my thoughts on Fitprime. I preordered the first two tapes back in Dec. last year. I like the Weights First tape but I'm not a big fan of Yoga and I understand the other tapes(aleast some) will be yoga inspired. I didn't preorder the other tapes offered. I felt $100 was to big an investment on something that hasn't even been made yet, even though I did pay $47 to preorder the 2 tapes offered in Dec.,I got caught up in the excitement! If the reviews are good I might order the tapes that sound interesting to me. The few extra $ I'll have to pay won't break me. I've been doing The Firm for about 18 months and really love them. I just started doing Cathe's tapes and have already spent almost $200 but these tapes are awesome killers. I'm looking forward to seeing more definition in my upper body and losing the 5# I've gained! As far as effectiveness: one of the girls at the Fitprime forum said she saw improvement in her cellulite after 3 workouts with Weights First and someone else agreed. I think an advanced exerciser would find it challenging by upping the weights. I've only done it about 4 times but I'm going to do Weights First all this week(3 days) and then start Cathe's S&H series next week thru the month of April.
