I think Richard's tapes are fun Reviewer: Jamie       07-30-2004 I think Richard's tapes are fun (I bought Sweatin to the Oldies used) but the steps can be a little complicated for beginners, or people with knee problems. I just do my own thing during parts that have moves that bother my knee (severed ligament). One thing I like is that the tapes have people in them of all sizes. I don't really want to look at a dozen size 0 people, and I feel that seeing people on the tape who are larger than I am is motivating...if they can do it so can I. I don't subscribe to his diet advice as I prefer low-carb.

The Disco Sweat video is great Reviewer: Tiffany       07-30-2004 The disco sweat is great, remember low impact does not mean easy...I work hard when I do it.

Just as a matter of interest Reviewer: Judy       07-20-2004 According to several news reports the fellow you see sweating along to the disco music with Richard...the fellow just to his left on the screen...is Michael Hebrinski. He lost several hundred pounds following Richard's Deal-A-Meal program and sweating to his oldies. Unfortunately the weight came back, plus more. He was removed from his home on a fork-lift to be taken to a hospital a few of years ago. After having been a spokesperson for Richard's program and appearing on this video, they lost touch. Richard was seen on television talking about how people love to tell him when they are losing weight but never tell him when the weight comes back. This is a statement that inspired Lee Martindale to leap to Richard's aid, suggesting that everyone who has lost weight on Deal-A-Meal then regained it write and let Richard know. That should keep him in tears for a few days. I do, however, think all of Richard Simmons exercise tapes are excellent. It's just his weight loss advice that needs some toning up.

Average Fitness Video Reviewer: Minh       06-01-2004 I bought the Rich Simmons video about 5 years ago and I found them to be average at best. The only difference between this video and other workout videos is the fat people working out with him in it. I can see how maybe it can motivate someone, but it didn't motivate me. Looking at the people on the video that were very obese made me think that hey thats not me (as I am just a few pounds over weight) so i just thought I was wasting my time with it. Plus I have those same music tracks on compilation cd's in my closet I could have just saved money and listened to them. I recommend rather than buy his video just buy a cd of your choice and do basic workouts on your own.

Angry with Richard Simmons Reviewer: Beverly       04-01-2004 I wish I could contact someone at the Richard Simmons site. They have been charging me 9.95, twice a month for many months now.. I did sign up for their club, but couldn't access it. I immediately cancelled my membership. I have called and called and sent many emails and they are all ignored. Meanwhile, I have spent about 200 on a service I haven't received. I guess I am going to have to cancel my credit card. I call the credit card, by the way, and they wouldn't help me.

The diet worked Reviewer: Danny       04-01-2004 I lost 14 pounds in about 4 months. The rest of the diets I tried i just lost 2-5 pounds here and there, and gained them back.

Very fun diet plan Reviewer: Yolanda       04-01-2004 I had so much fun when i went on this diet with my friends last year. The eating plans mixed with the workout videos made us feel so much more alive by the end of the day. I found myself sleeping better and waking up with alot more energy.

The diet plan does work Reviewer: Rikki       04-01-2004 I never bought any Rich Simmons videos but i followed the plan and mixed it with my own water aerobics that i learned from a book i bought awhile back and it worked. I lost almost 50 pounds in just 4 months time.

Richard Simmons Diet Reviewer: Kate       03-24-2004 This is an easy to follow diet. But I have been with Weight Watchers and it was much easier than Richard Simmons.

Rip off warning to all Reviewer: Gary       03-01-2004 My wife ordered the program with the vitamins sent automatically every other month. Last month we received a video and a cookbook, without our asking, for our review. They automatically charged our credit card without our approval. The last I heard was if you send something to someone they can discard it and not be required to pay. There is no way I was going to be inconvenienced with returning a product I did not order. I also believe it is criminal to charge an account knowing the individual did not order the product.
