  • The Exercise Coach Works!

    I'm a 69-year old woman. I've been inconsistent with exercise my whole life. I started working out at The Exercise Coach about 18 months ago and I love it! I was weak and breathless when I started and over the months, my strength has improved and my recovery time has shortened. I am stronger, so I'm sticking with it!

  • Not that good

    Host spends like 15 seconds just straight talking about their credentials every episode, also the episodes and comments within them sound Very scripted.

    I am likely biased though, as I do not have a high interest in this area, so I tend to find it a tad dull.

    Although, you should listen for yourself and see if you enjoy it. Perhaps, and may I add, hopefully, my opinion is incorrect.

  • Change

    Definitely an approach to working out smarter and not harder with better results in less time. Try this for 90 days to give it a true test and it will debunk your old ways of thinking about fitness. Love everything about the exercise coach. Keep up the great work.

  • JOKE!!

    This guy is an absolute joke! This is a money grab that preys on unsuspecting middle age and elderly people. This is NOT a useful fitness program for anyone. Pricing is a joke, promises and results are completely empty and completely ridiculous!!

Why Strength Training is Better Than Pilates for Your Muscles and Your Health
Q: Today's question is, how does the Exercise Coach compare to Pilates?
