It Has To Start Somewhere
First, let me say (after reading many reviews before purchasing), I am a real person who is not associated with BGW2, have never been to their facility, have never met them in my life. Like many fans of BGW2 I saw the results on IG and was in awe and impressed. They were real women that looked like me and made a lifestyle change with the help of a DVD.I am not a fan of home workouts, DVDs, etc. I am the type of person who needs to be in the gym with others or classes, just me. But, I have to tell you, I love this DVD! I actually feel bad the days that I don't do it. The workout is great for my level (beginner-getting back in the swing) and even for an intermediate level if you do it full out. It may not be that challenging for someone who is advanced, but it could be used for a good warm up for someone who is advanced. Bottom line, it's a good workout that is truly a total body workout and I sweat every time I do it.The meal plan has been challenge for me (personally). Not the clean eating portion so much as I am a juicer and a pescatarian, but the guide is really like a guide and you have to create your own meal plan. The detox week is clear, but the rest of the month you have to just follow the tips. For someone who has a problem with food that's hard. Not that I run to chips, but I forget to eat 5 times a day and if I have to figure out what to eat for one of those meals, yeah...that's not working out to well LOL. But, that has nothing to do with BGW2, that's a me thing (smile). I'm hoping to get on track with the meal portion in the near future. For now, I'm loving my workout that I do 3-4x a week.And, not going to spend a lot of time on this, but yes the video and packaging could use some work. As a marketing and training specialist there are some things that would be helpful to capture a complete audience. The video has some editing issues. Should the video been priced at $30 or $40, no. But truthfully I spend $40 on stuff that I don't need all the time, so at least it would be $30-40 spent on something to make me better. Just my thought...a different way of looking at things. I decided that instead of complaining about the mistakes or things that could've been better, I adjusted to what I had and made it work. For example, I modified the amount of ingredients for the soup, because it's just me. If you follow the recipe that's comes with the DVD then you'll have soup for at least a month (no for real). For the ab section of the video where the editing is the worse, I simply pause it and finish the ab routine on the other side. The fact is she goes through it completely on one side and partially through it on the other side. I would imagine they are open to feedback if you send them an email with your thoughts, comments and suggestions. No one wants to just hear complaints, so provide them with solutions to make the next video better.If you want a workout, if you want to be motivated to get your life back on track this is a great way to kick-start that process. If you want to support a Black owned business that is uplifting and positive, this is a great purchase. I am a true fan of this video and highly recommend it for you.*Note: I do not work for Black Girls Workout Too. I do not know the owners. I have never been to the store. I simply made my purchase on Amazon.

HONEST REVIEW! MINUS ALL THE IRRELEVANT B.S. I LOVE IT!!! Keep UP THE GOOD WORK! Both of you are empowering WOMEN WORLD WIDE!!!!
This is long but if you want an HONEST REVIEW!!! PLEASE READ ON....Most of the reviews I have read are sad and way off topic. The purpose of a review is to let potential buyers know if the product did what it said it would and was it hard, easy...etc. I want to first start by saying it does not matter what pictures are on their instagram, twitter, or Facebook. These women obviously work hard for their money and they appear to be successful Entrepreneurs, smart enough to turn something they love and benefit from into a successful business. I love it!!! Keep doing what you are doing. Thank God and keep it moving. I have tried numerous workout equipment, gym memberships, brazilin butt lift, insanity, P90 X, and plenty more over the years. I will be thirty come October and this is the first DVD that has motivated me to continue with the workouts. By no means am I saying the other workout DVDs did not work but they did not keep me motivated. The women behind GYMNETICS FITNESS "spoke" to me. I can relate to them, they inspire me. As a customer who purchased this product it was not my job to critique the budget for the making of this DVD. Just like I said before if they are business women making a living, they need to be smart about expenses. Ellen is 60 years old if the warm-ups work for her and she is doing it without injury, then bless your sad soul if you can't keep up with a 60 year old. And I usually don't even take the time to write reviews or respond to people who appear to be misinformed of a certain topic or just not educated enough. It just really pissed me off to see all of these ridiculous comments discussed as "product reviews". If Lana wants to look pretty & barely workout, that's her business. Because genetics couldn't even get her to be fit as she is now. She has to be maintaining that body and I say GO GIRL!!! You look great. You and your mother deserve all the blessing you are getting and may God bless you with much more. THESE Strong black women are changing lives and giving all races the power to fill beautiful. SO I'm not going to keep going on & on, I just really dislike when people try to as I say hate on other peoples success. Ellen & Lana keep being beautiful, healthy, and inspiring!! I love the DVD, the meal plans, advice, and everything you are doing. I have lost weight, I feel better about myself, I am motivated, and I feel energized. You have helped me reached my goal weight from 160lbs to 130lbs in a short period of time. It is not fair to try and put an exact date or day because I have not been consistent. I plan to keep using your DVD to maintain & stay toned & fit. I am a single mother of two and I will continue to support anything you guys do because it is real and not just for show and I have my proof of that.
