Turbo Jam - Fun Workouts to Melt the Pounds Off

An infectious beat can make just about anyone move, just choose your style be it dance, electronic or hip hop. This is the driving force behind Chalene Johnson's workout video series Turbo Jam.

I am a skeptic when it comes to exercise videos, miracle cures and losing 20 pounds in 10 days. It is unrealistic and disappointing, not to mention a great reason to switch the television to something else and give up.

When I saw the infomercial for Turbo Jam (I must admit I am addicted to infomercials, far more than hit television shows) I was intrigued to say the least. I saw people who claimed to be uncoordinated who had fantastic results and when I heard the videos were set to upbeat music, I was hooked.

I still held off on ordering. I have been disappointed in certain other programs before and I didn't want a repeat, especially a repeat that cost $60. So like most people, with a new year approaching, I felt an itch to do something about my deteriorating health. I picked up my card and ordered the Maximum Results program.

Now, from the beginning, I had researched Beach Body, but had not found an alternative company to order from. I read mixed reviews of Beach Body. Most reviews were bad, unfortunately. That was one of the main reasons I held off on ordering. But I also know some people have unrealistic customer service and delivery expectations, so I took a chance.

Now, when I first ordered the website was difficult to navigate and there was an annoying video box that would play every time you come to the site. There were no audio controls, so I had to turn off my computer speakers, but that wasn't a big deal. What was a big deal was when I actually ordered, I received an error message. I was told to resubmit my order. Instead I called their customer service to see if my order went through. I was told to call back in four hours or to talk to an online chat representative. In four hours I tried the chat. Besides being incredibly rude, the person on the other end did nothing but make me sit for 30 minutes while they were "listening" to my two sentence problem.
