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.

I am going to be honest and admit that I was unable to complete the P90x program all the way through, at least not yet. I then learned that those that are out of shape should start with P90, to work up to the P90x. Since then I have slowly been working my way up to starting P90x again. I have watched through all the workouts and thoroughly reviewed the program. I ordered it long before there was an on demand service for it and had it dvds delivered. This is a great program, but it is certainly not for beginners, considering you have to be able to do a pullup and pushup. I will hopefully get there someday, and Tony Horton, the lead coach in the dvd is great. He tells funny jokes that still make me giggle when I hear them. He keeps you motivated through out the workout and there are helpful visuals onscreen as well, like a meter that shows you how many more reps left.

P90x has proven to be demanding, excruciating, and worth it in all the right ways. While challenging, the performance is tracked and exceeded in a very precise way. Everything is geared for performance success. The trainers are expert at fitness and motivation. There is no other product in the fitness market as committed to improvement of self than P90x. It cannot be recommended enough!

I used both P90x P90x 2 for about 3 years. It's an easy way to follow a program that you can do in your basement with the proper equipment. All you need is a doorway pull up bar & some barbells & you can get an hour workout in all week long. For me it's easy to stay on a program when following along with someone on the video. I think Tony does a great job and I highly recommend P90x to anyone out there looking to stay in shape & not worry about having to program any workouts yourself. Just push play and follow along.

Great purchase. You see results especially if you stay committed. My husband and I love working out together doing P90x. We can fit it into our crazy schedules and we actually look forward to doing it because we know it works. We love the variety it provides in exercises and the varying levels provided so we can both do it at the same time but have options for the intensity that works best for our individual needs.

P90X-3 has been the best thing for me as a mom. I graduated in exercise science at USU and I love how this workout program helps to improve all three aspects of fitness: speed, flexibility, and strength. What is so nice about the program is that it is only 30 minutes a day!! Plus there isn't a need for a tone equipment. All one needs is a couple of dumbells, a pull up bar, and a DVD player. Thanks to P-90X 3 I got down to my lowest weight since Jr. High before I had my second child and am confident I can do it again.

P90X my favorite fitness program. Every single time I use P90X, I feel like I’m getting my butt whooped into shape and the instructors motivate you to be better every single rep.

P90x is a great workout and it is really easy and convenient. I used my dad's copy so I'm not sure how great the price is, but the workouts were excellent.

I love P90x. The workouts are tough but somehow still enjoyable! No complaints - just sore muscles and results!

My dad did P90X for a very long time, but never saw a difference. It doesn't seem like it works so I don't think I will ever use it.

While I can't do all the exercises, I love the option of working out from home and feeling like I had a personal session with a trainer.
