I thought I was all ready to buy the Gym Style DVDs but then I watched several STS clips and now I am confused. Should I go with STS Meso 1 or the GS's? I am new to strength training. Thanks!
 
VERY hard choice. I guess it all depends on what you are looking for. Gym Styles can be switched around and added into a current workout routine. Meso one is meant to be part of a bigger and more time consuming system. Both are great and you won't be dissapointed either way. You could always get Meso one and then order the Pyramid upper lower body DVD. That way you could start experiencing STS and would also have a complete body strenth DVD as well. Hmm.. decisions decisions
 
Thank you so much for your advice! It is a very tough decision. I might be wrong on this, but it looks like STS is more engaging than Gym Styles because it changes each week. I also like how the DVDs tell you what to do each week because I could really use that direction. It's like having your own personal trainer. However, you make a very good point that Gym Styles can be incorporated into other rotations! One of my biggest concerns is equipment because I do not have a barbell, high step, or bench (yet). I guess what I am really wondering is if STS is worth the money for a beginner or if I should start off with Gym Styles because I need to factor in the cost of more equipment as well.
 
I love STS but if you want to start out cheaper, I would buy gym style. When you are just starting out you might only use a 5,8 and 10lb dumbbells. You will get variation in your routine when you progress to heavier dumbbells. I used a step for a short while as bench. If you enjoy lifting though, a bench is so much more comfortable than the step. I went through the entire STS without a barbell-just use dumbbells. I also have 12, 15, 20 and 25lb dumbbells.
 
If you have never done weight training then I would suggest you start with the GS series. Then once you are hooked on weight training I would suggest you get Meso 2 and Meso 3 if you are able to.
 
Thank you so much for your advice! I am going with GS and then I'll see where I stand in 4 weeks or so.
 
I do not know if you have already ordered but I have had fabulous success with Meso 1. I gained a lot of weight since quitting smoking last year and have also developed some health problems compounding the weight gain. I started working out again Janurary 4th and around the last week of Jan started STS Meso 1. I weighed myself today and I have lost 17 pounds. I do try to get cardio in 3-4 times a week. There is something about Meso 1 that really works well for weight-loss. I suspect it is all the pushups, pullups because you engage your whole body. Anyway, if you are looking for weight-loss take a second look at Meso 1. This is the second time it has worked for me. Peggy
 
Peggy,

I agree with you. I lost 7 lbs during my first cycle of Meso One and I did not change anything about my diet ( I do eat clean almost all of the time but allow myself a cheat day every 7-10 days),
 
That is impressive. I am glad you posted because i was wondering if anyone else had such great results. Peggy
