Where’s the best place to check out Zumba fitness reviews?

Amazon of course!

They have hundreds of reviews from actual users so you can get a good feel for how this product is likely to work for you by reading the comments of those who were enthralled with it and those who were very disappointed.

At the outset it must be said that this particular product, the Zumba fitness DVD set, has a large number of reviews. They breakdown as follows (at the time of writing):

4 and 5 star reviews: 387
1 and 2 star reviews: 50

So immediately you can see the Zumba workout videos have been very well received by the vast majority of consumers.

Nevertheless, it is always interesting to read the negative comments and see if the points of view stated are serious to you or not.

Zumba: The Bad

For example, regarding the Zumba exercise DVD’s, one user was dissatisfied because she thought the introduction was too advanced. She felt you need experience with Zumba before getting the DVDs.

Another was irritated with the instructor talking a lot of the time while the music was playing. Also the fact he sang along with the music at certain points didn’t go down very well either!

One consumer compared the DVD set to an actual workout in a gym or class. For her, there was no comparison. She found it hard even to break into a sweat using the DVD’s.

Some of the 1 and 2 star reviews were given because some of the DVD’s were actually faulty and wouldn’t play. Obviously this is not so much a criticism of the Zumba set as with the company supplying it. This of course can usually be sorted out quickly by reporting the fault and getting a replacement.

Zumba: The Good

As mentioned above, the vast majority of users were very pleased with their purchase and had glowing things to say. Here is a small sampling:

‘Get it get it you will love it. You will get results such as aerobic exercise, toning, and learning to dance all at once.’

‘I have so much fun. It doesn’t even feel like a workout and I’m moving every part of my body.’

‘Highly recommended for busy people. Particularly like the toning and flat ab DVD’s which add variety to the program.’

‘The people I work with keep commenting that I’ve become very trim and it’s noticeable. If you like fast-paced fun and dancing you will love this workout.’

‘It’s the most fun I’ve had since teaching aerobics.’

‘My wife’s in her early 50′s. She’s having so much fun. It’s easy to get started and learn.’

‘For those who don’t care for zombie like workouts in gyms with boring repetitions, Zumba is recommended.’

Well that gives a little indication of how highly regarded the Zumba workout DVD set is.
