"Great At Home Body Sculpting System!"

Excellent and complete, this system comes with everything you need to exercise your way to a firmer healthier you! I love the green genie balls, they are easy to hold and grip, and so versatile. Karen Voight's DVDs are great. I was intimidated by her muscle bound body at first, but her exercises are fun, easy & heart pumping for both the beginner and for the advanced. My 5 year old daughter was able to keep up with alot of it, but did run out of steam about 15 minutes into the DVD. I enjoyed it because I haven't exercised for awhile, and she has 2 DVDs that give you the choice of what kind of workout you feel like doing that day. I highly recommend this system, because it is an easy system to set up and store in your home. Unlike an exercise bike,it doesn't take up alot of space, and if you want to deflate the ball for storage, she gives you a hand pump to inflate it for the next time(although this is a workout in itself. It takes about 15 min to fully inflate the ball). Overall though, this a good system for the price. 5 stars

"If you stick with it, it will bring results"

This workout system is not bad if you pay 25-30$ for it. It's not worth $99. Yoga mat is just regular yoga mat. Gennie balls are cool, 3 pounds each. You can do your own exercise with them. Two DVD are not of the highest quality, can't FF or RW. There are two exercise on one of the DVD's, one for PM one for AM. AM is energizing, and PM is relaxing. Exercise on the ball is not for begginers.
In a nutshell, if you want to loose weight and don't want to spend time in a gym, this system could help you loose unwanted pounds. 3 stars

"Cool Fitness Toys to beat boredom!"

I got this kit for Christmas. At first I was T-Od because I have turned by back weights on now only do Yoga and Pilates and I didn't want the green genies, but I really love the ball. I love to roll around on it and stretch out my back. Also, the Streamline fitness workout is really good- it is tough but fast and effective. So, I have added this workout to my repetoire(it uses the genies) for something different. The BLT workout isn't hard at all, but it is really short so it would be something cool to do when you don't want a hard workout but do feel like moving a little. The yoga mat is really good quality, too! 5 stars

"Great quality!"

After purchasing from a few different companies, Karen Voight is definitely one of the best qualitied ones out there.

In terms of the ball, I like the TEXTURE of the TKO Cory Everson Fitness Ball a lot more than this one, though the KV ball is far from being low quality. I do have to agree with the previous review(s) that it is pretty sticky and hard to clean.

I love the green genies. It looks better out of the box than on the picture, which is rare for pretty much anything. They are a lot better quality than my last purchase, the Nautilus 2 pound balls (the KV balls are 3 pounds each) and these are a lot more solidly built. They look very good, too.

The mat is of good quality. Not the top of the line, but definitely worth the money you pay for.

I'd have to disagree with a previous review about the "flimsy" pump that came with it. My last few purchases came with even more flimsy pumps, so I considered this a great pump. It doesn't get heat up so much while inflating the ball, and it took less than 30 minutes at a not-so-fast rate to inflate the ball. The pump is very well-designed, in my opinion.

I'd not pay more than $25 dollars for it (total, with shipping and tax, etc) though. In fact, I'd not pay over $20 for it, idealy. 4 stars

"Great, fun workout!"

My husband bought me this for christmas this year, after I showed him it was on sale. LOL I must say that pumping the ball full of air was a work-out in and of itself! Today I tried the B*L*T DVD, and did the complete workout. It was great! Easy, fun.. it barely seemed like a workout! I am not highly motivated when it comes to exercising, and my 2 kids don't give me a lot of time to do it anyway. But I think this is something I could learn to make time for! 5 stars
