Customer Reviews of Billy Blanks Taebo Tae Bo Amped W/ Amplifier. USUALLY SHIPS WITHIN 1 BUSINESS DAY
Customer Review: First time Taebo user, kind of disappointed.
Summary: 3 Stars
Taebo has been around since the 90's and I didn't give it much attention. I decided to buy this kit with the Amped bar because it looked like something new and different. I'm a beginning exerciser and wanted to take it to the next level with this program. I gave it 3 stars because yes, it does work you out, HARD. But what disappointed me was the quality of the workouts. I'm no expert in the field of fitness or video production but these workouts are sloppy. These videos all share one of the following flaws, Billy either: a) Does too many reps on one side b) Forgets about the other side altogether c) Wastes so much time showing off that your heart rate slows because you're watching him for a minute or two. I've learned to jog in place while he's performing for the audience. After doing this program for a month I just find it too distracting. Even his own people don't know what he's doing and they seem lost at times. One workout even runs out of time and Billy seems confused why the cool down music is turned on. Come on! Can't you do another take? Splice it in, I don't care. I just want to make sure I'm getting a balanced workout.
On a more positive note, dang my arms are looking good! I'm sore each and every day and these workouts leave me breathless and dripping with sweat. But I think a successful program is one that is balanced and one that holds your interest. Unfortunately I'm getting more and more annoyed with these workouts and I'm starting to dread them. Not because they are hard, but because I have to anticipate the errors and try to compensate for them by coming up with my own routine.
All in all, I guess I thought that Billy would have this whole DVD workout thing perfected since he's been doing it for so long. I don't feel inspired by him, I just feel annoyed and disappointed. Sorry Billy. Thanks for the guns though!
Customer Review: Amp Bar
Summary: 3 Stars
Great product for working out and I also received DVD's w/ it. I wish there were better instructions on how to use the AMP bar because mine wont stay locked when it is in long position and is annoying when I am working out.Customer Review: Do Not Purchase Through SVM Products!
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased Taebo Amped from SVM Products. I received the DVDs and amped bar and began using it. Just over a month after I purchased the product the bar fell apart. I wasn't using it every day, so it's not because it was overused. I contacted SVM Products and was told that I couldn't get my money back or a replacement bar because it was after their 30-day return/exchange policy date. I explained I wasn't trying to return or exchange the product simply because I didn't like it or want it, but because it fell apart and was no longer usable. They basically said too bad. So now I'm stuck with the DVDs and an amped bar that I cannot even use.
Also, Billy Blanks/Taebo was contacted and they told me more of the same, too bad your product is broken, sorry for the inconvenience. I always expected good quality products from Billy Blanks and Taebo, but obviously that just applies to the DVDs and not any corresponding equipment. The bar falling apart after a few weeks wouldn't be such a big deal if either the seller (SVM Products) or the manufacturer (Billy Blanks/Taebo) would replace the poor quality product. I guess, it really is just "too bad" for me.
