The Good

  • Great workouts
  • Nutritional food guide
What we enjoy about this program is that it works. If you put in the time, it works. The moves are simple, not to be confused with easy, and individuals can get a solid, gym level workout in the comfort of their own homes, without the fear judgment or embarrassment by not being able to complete the moves as others so. We enjoy Tony Horton because he is fun to workout with, keeping members motivated, on track, and adding his own sense of humor lightening things up. The nutritional food guide has "real" foods that can be easily found, even in some of the smallest of residential areas. Recipes are included, taking the guess work out of what, and how, to prepare. Members may also be please to find their blog and community support websites also have an array of health and nutritional advice ranging from more recipes to the latest trends in fashion and beauty. While the price can seem a little daunting, in the end, we found it to be quite fair for what comes in the package. The largest package totaling $369.45 includes:
  • 12 DVD's, including introductory video
  • Nutritional guide filled with recipes
  • Detailed fitness plan and calendar
  • Support group access
  • 30-day supply of their post workout drink
  • 3 resistance bands
  • 5 additional "Plus" workouts
  • Power Stands (equipment)
  • Chin-up bar
When incorporating each of these factors into a fitness routine, consumers may find this is worth more than paying monthly fees at a gym.

The Bad

  • Long and strenuous
  • Long fitness program
We get that working out can be a chore, especially in the beginning of a fitness plan. Lacing up those sneakers is one of the hardest things to do. Within P90X members will find workouts can be long and strenuous, especially for novice performers which this program is not recommended. Workouts range from one hour to one and half hours with some complaining the length of time to complete one workout is simply too much, stating half the workout delivered similar results. Also, to get all the extra and exclusive features, members must make their purchase from beachbody.com, leaving those searching for a less costly option out of the circle.

The Bottom Line

P90X's program is not for the faint of heart. Daily workouts can stretch up to an hour and half, although it's possible to complete half the workout, if time is a factor, while still reaping the benefits of a good routine. For some it may seem costly, however after crunching some numbers, we found it is worth the price. For those who want to focus on dropping pounds of fat while building muscle and gaining strength, all in a rigorous 6-day a week plan, this is certainly an option to consider.

The P90x program is very effective at gaining strength and losing fat. We liked the variety of exercises in P90x. The Yoga program is an important workout that also emphasizes strength, balance, and flexibility. Other workout programs focus more on aerobic capacity.

the whole family did P90x a few years ago and we loved it, Tony is a great personal trainer and really knows how to keep you going. I think this is the best workout plan because it has a lot of variety and works the whole body and doesn't just do cardio

It has everything you need except the motivation. This fitness program will do its job great if you can convince yourself to put in the effort. I was seeing results without changing much of anything else. Very tough to keep up!

The workout programs of P90x were great to push me, some of the exercises were really advanced but overall the program itself is great. I can see for someone who followed it 100% to see big results.

I really enjoyed the workout videos that I could do from home. The shakeology drink was expensive but I lost a lot of weight with its use. My online coach was helpful and kept me accountable with my goals.

P90x Offers a variety of workouts, and they even included yoga which is actually quite challenging! If you don’t have a lot of time to work out, this is a great routine to follow!

Great workouts, but if you really want to be shredded, you've got to follow the clean diet they give you.

It's tough. Really works. I think it is a better fit for men. I especially got good results with the ab workout.
