 the pit workout will kick your butt August 28, 2010
t19buckeye
Great workout,John Hackelman has you sweating from the beginning, the first workout is upper body and the second workout is lower body and the third workout combines both for a full-body workout. The workouts are very intense but also very easy to follow along. Hackelman has trouble counting when doing push-ups but he does admit his mistakes, i count for myself so I know how many I have done. Otherwise a great quality workout dvd, that you do not need any equipment for besides a television and it only costs less than 20 dollars.
Better than P90X! June 10, 2010
KS
I completed 90 days of P90X and had great results but wanted more of a challenge and even more results. The Pit workout does it and is more fun for me because I am interested in MMA. I am noticing a higher level of strength and fitness, and getting a little more cut. P90X feels like aerobics compared to this! I still mix in the weights DVDs from P90X, but the PIT pushes you harder. And you are still using just your body and don't really need equipment. John Hackleman is a cool dude and is helpful and instructive with no BS.
My only criticism is that you should do some jump rope or jacks while John talks before each set cause he stretches the water break about a minute too long sometimes.
If you get the boxset, you will have a more complete picture of what John teaches in regards to fitness.
 Pretty Good April 30, 2010
T. Hendricks (Oceanside, CA United States)
This DVD was pretty good. It wasn't quite as diverse as I would have liked, but it was worth the money. This is not a program that can be your sole source of exercise. It consists PRIMARILY of shadow boxing and pushups. Unfortunately, there are no back exercises. Also, if you don't have any boxing or MMA background, this DVD isn't for you. If you don't know how to shadow box or hit a heavy bag, you'll probably be lost and frustrated. If you want to add a little something extra for your workout, give it a try.
Great Value April 5, 2010

In the field of physical fitness and sports we often see 50 minute DVDs costing $40. This is a 2 DVD set, no fluff, great workouts and costs half of that.
Another good feature is that you need zero equipment, although a heavy bag and a jump rope will enhance the workout. Still, you can do these sessions anywhere and you certainly don't need a gym.
I am a fitness guy not an MMA fighter and I have the feeling that this is the targeted market for the DVD. Although there is a brief appearance by Chuck Liddell at the beginning, he doesn't actually contribute anything to the DVD besides introducing John. The guys and gals in the class certainly do not appear to be MMA fighters but rather average folks keeping in shape. Great shape. And John does the workouts with his students.
The DVD shows very intensive upper body, lower body and full body sessions. I got some great ideas from this product.
My only semi-critical comment is that there was noticeable technique deterioration as the sets progressed. Parallel squats became quarter squats, pushups began to look contorted, etc. There are different schools of thought in the world of fitness and conditioning. One school believes that an exercise is terminated once good technique cannot be maintained. John seems to subscribe to the philosophy that there is conditioning value in doing partial, technically imperfect reps.
To sum up: great DVD and great value.

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.
