 Intense Workout...Recomend it to anyone. March 4, 2010
Diego Torres (Gilbert, AZ)
This has to be one of the most intense workouts Ive ever done. It teaches you how to fight while also giving you a Great workout. Great for anybody who want's to get in shape. For the price it's one of the best workout DVD's you can find. And plus you don't even need anything else besides your body to workout with.
 Super Effective February 25, 2010
Nessa (Northern Cali)
I bought this DVD for my husband and he absolutely loved it. He mentioned that the moves and circuts are very challenging, but that's what he expected from MMA fighters. He tends to interchange the DVD with his regular workouts, and actually ends up more sore after completing the DVD workouts. From his perspective he can see a physical change in his body and stamina.
 Its OK February 12, 2010
Ted (USA)
I think the workouts are very effective for getting in shape for martial arts or for general fitness. JH is a bad dude and I respect his qualifications as a trainer, but there is a lack of motivation to follow his lead. He is very likeable and works his ass off, but he lacks enthusiasm or something..anyways, just my opinion. Bottom line is the workouts are really good if you need a change from your regular program. It includes lots of pushups, body weight exercises, and shadow boxing; So if you don't integrate fighting style training in your workout routine, then I recommend it as a supplement to other workout programs. Even though I rate this program as just ok I would like to purchase Crosspit and give it a chance. In conclusion, if you want to take fitness to another level, do this with Bas Ruttens workout cds and p90x and you won't be disappointed.

I bought this for my husband, figuring he would not be into working out with me and my Cindy Crawford DVDs - and I'm glad I did! We received it a little over a week ago and have started our second week of workouts. It is incredibly hard, but I managed to get through almost the entire upper body workout today - already improving! This DVD set will never be praised for its polished production - the workouts take place in a dingy, fluorescent-lit boxing gym, the music isn't great - but that's not why you buy a workout DVD anyway, is it? This is hard exercise plain and simple - lots and lots of pushups, lots of kicking, lots of shadowboxing, tons of squats, jumping rope, jumping jacks for crying out loud. It's actually refreshing to return to the old school exercises that have been around for years, because they work. John Hackelman (I think that's right ), the guy who leads these workouts, is surprisingly softspoken and calm. He offers none of the chitchatty, bubbly "You can do it!" drivel that is so common in other workout DVDs - he counts and that's pretty much it. He often loses count too, "19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 20." I've read other reviews saying that he offers no motivation and I can only assume it's this aspect that they're talking about - he doesn't hold your hand or cheer you on. The motivation for me is looking at him and the other participants in the video - they're in great shape, they work hard, and I'd like to be there one day too. These workouts are hard enough for me and my husband that we'll be able to use them for quite a long time before we get so good at them that they're no longer challenging - indeed, Hackelman is sweating and huffing and puffing throughout, so we've got a ways to go! And you don't need any equipment - he shows people using punching bags and jumpropes, but also people using neither so that's nice. I like it, my husband likes it, I say give it a try.
The Pit Delivers!! December 4, 2009

Well I was hoping for a good workout DVD as the previous ones I've bought have been a little on the weak side. The Pit delivered exactly what I wanted!
You know that the workout is going to be tough when the trainer is struggling to talk and complete the workout himself, either that or he's just not fit himself! As I found out it was not a case of him being unfit, it was a good hard workout.
I would like to get my hands on a Wavemaster XXL so I can get the best out of the DVD but the bits I can do without extra equipment will keep me going for some time before I can do them comfortably.
Those guys/girls who are looking for a high intensity workout they can do anywhere then give this DVD a crack. I mean even if you don't find it the best for you, it's only a few dollars to buy it so why not give it a try! If you don't like it then you can always wrap it up and palm it off as a Christmas present to a mate ;o)
Trust me though, you won't get rid of it in a hurry!
Just a thought, if you are interested in getting the DVD then I'd go for the boxset.... Saves dollars and you get a few extras with it.
Cheers,
Train Hard!
