I was going to get the Jillian Michael’s The Biggest Winner 5 pack DVD set, but then I saw an infomercial for Turbo Jam Maximum Results with the handweights (gloves or whatever..) and it looks like it would be really fun and give results. But I also read online on about.com a lot of complaints about Turbo Jam customers not getting there product for long period of time, or getting billed incorrectly or even billed twice. Those who got it said great things, but I’m skeptical about the customer service and such on getting it. Anyone out there have experience with either? Thanks for your help!!! (I’m trying to lose baby weight from recent pregnancy and get more toned..)

I ordered Turbo Jam Max Results LAST WEEK on a Tuesday online and had to later call the customer service center which is apparently based in India and was told it was backordered and that it would be shipped this week. Still no confirmation. In the meantime, I’ve purchased Turbo Jam Cardio Party 3 and Fat Blaster through Amazon. Sadly, I think I’m going to receive what I ordered through Amazon sooner than I’m going to receive from BeachBody.
I keep hearing great things about Turbo Jam however, so I’d get that one. Just be cautious of BeachBody period, obviously.
UPDATE
I called the regular customer service again, got India again, and they gave me a different customer service number to call for more detailed info on my order. Got an American this time (must be why the hold is so long) who actually knew what was going on since the regular customer service reps don’t. My turbo sculpting gloves are on backorder till Saturday, so it’s all supposed to ship next week by Thursday.
I actually just started using TurboJam this past week. It was an interesting process getting it here…they’d stated that my order was delayed, but then I received it about two days after receiving the e-mail saying the order was delayed. I was kind of nervous after reading the complaints I’d seen online, but so far, I’ve not had any crazy charges on my credit card, and have no complaints about the product itself.
If you do decide to order TurboJam, I’d recommend ordering through the website, rather than calling the toll free number on the infomercial. Most of the complaints I’ve seen regarding TurboJam came from people who called in to order and received both lousy customer service and products they never intended to order. Something else to keep an eye out for is the add-ons BeachBody.com tries to get you to purchase when you order TurboJam. You get to the check out screen and have to go through about ten pages worth of offers before you can actually check out. Unless you’re willing to pay the extra money (sometimes as much as $60, I’ve read), be sure to click no for each of these…they’re not things that are really necessary for TurboJam anyway.
Regarding the workout itself, it’s a blast. The weighted gloves don’t seem like they’d add a lot to the workout itself (I’m pretty sure they weigh less than a pound each), but after a couple of days, you start to really feel it in your arms, legs (ESPECIALLY your thighs), butt and abs (mine are constantly tight, and it’s only been a week…if this trend continues, I will be a happy woman!). When you do the workout, make sure that you have a good pair of supportive sneakers, as even the low-impact moves can do a number on your knees if you’re not careful. I would definitely recommend TurboJam, provided you’re careful when ordering it.
if you are worried about customer service get it through amazon their customer service is second to none!!
i’ve been in kickboxing for 4yrs and when we shadow box(pretty much what you are going to be doing in any cardio-like kickboxing video) we use 1-2lbs dumbbells. i think the weighted gloves might just be a gimmick i mean you can buy a paid of two pounds dumbbells or wrist weights at your local sports store and get the same out of it. or if you really want you can buy the gloves like thosehttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00091R…
other than that turbo jam is a highly ranked workout video you can see the reviews for yourselfhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000EZH…
but the biggest winner has great reviews toohttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BT9…
i think you cant go wrong either way. i think the biggest winner will turn out a little cheaper even if you want the weight gloves you can buy those separate and still come out cheaper.
sorry but i dont know much about turbo jam’s customer service
good luck finding a workout routine and remember proper eating habits go hand and hand with exercise
