P90x™ |
 |
Introduction & Overview |
Designed by the makers of the Power 90 home training system, P90X is advertised as “extreme home fitness” that provides a workout that will push customers beyond their fitness boundaries and take workouts to the next level.
Supposedly, the program incorporates a mix of fitness, nutrition and supplementation for “superior conditioning and performance,” according to the website.
The program itself allows users to weight train or do yoga poses, depending on individual fitness goals. We will take a detailed look at this system below to determine how it might benefit consumers searching for an at-home workout program.

| Product At A Glance |
The P90X fitness package includes 12 workouts on video, plus a video presenting an overview of this system and a fitness guide to answer any further questions consumers may have.
Additionally, customers will receive a 3-phase nutrition plan designed specifically for use with the P90X system, so that users will better meet their goals, a CD-ROM that offers Internet support, and a calendar to help customers stay motivated for the duration of the 90 day program.

| Product In Depth |
The product is advertised as helping people get “absolutely ripped in just 90 days” and is essentially a system consisting of 12 different workouts available on either DVD or VHS that work different muscle groups and offer different types of exercises.
As mentioned, users of this program are also advised to incorporate supplements into their daily routines. These include the Peak Recovery Formula, an after-workout drink that provides the “precise nutrients” that the body demands for optimal results, and the Peak Health Formula, a multi-vitamin supplement that is intended to provide full support.
Unfortunately, we could not find more information about what the supplements contain or what the nutritional advice consists of, or how much of each is included with purchase.

| Cost |
P90X is advertised as being a “$600 value” that customers can receive for three payments of $39.95, plus $19.95 for shipping and handling. The website advertises a 30-day money-back guarantee on all orders, with “no questions asked.” Customers are still responsible for the shipping and handling charges, of course, and the company offers to let dissatisfied customers keep the Plyometrics routine at no charge.
We appreciate that this guarantee is offered to customers, although we feel the 30-day restriction is slightly unfair, considering the complete program is designed to be followed for 90 days. It seems to us that customers would want to try it out for the full term before going through the hassle of returning it, and the company should have an extended refund option.

| Conclusion |
Overall, we felt like this might be a good system for consumers to follow as a way to get in shape and lose weight. However, we came across a message written in fine print on the bottom of the website stating that “weight loss may be temporary” and that the featured testimonials may not reflect the whole truth. According to this disclaimer, some of the individuals featured might have “used several products or extended the program to achieve their results.”
For guaranteed weight loss, we believe that dieters are best off using an active fat burner combined with regular exercise and a healthy diet. We really like Advantra-Z, the patented bitter orange extract that has gotten a lot of positive feedback from satisfied customers.
