Kelly Coffey's The Shape of Things to Come |
 Like This A Lot |
| I love that this workout is upper body segments with cardio intervals! It's great. And it does include a lower body superset at the end of the upper body/cardio intervals, just before the chest/abs section. This is a great workout -- so glad I have it. - posted by Marla on 10/23/2011 |

 Needs More |
| This is my first Coffey-Meyer workout. The moves are basic; a specific muscle group is worked with weights, then there is an active rest with floor/step aerobics, then you repeat both segments. You work back, then biceps, then triceps, etc. The cool-down is non-existent, which kind of throws me off, as I have to do my stretch without direction. It's picky, I realize, but the women working out behind Kelly all look like they got their outfits out of a rag bag...Doesn't really incent you because you can't see their bodies in motion. Overall a good, solid, intermediate workout. - posted by Suzanne on 7/18/2011 |

| Shape of Things to Come |
| This is an excellent DVD. I love it because it changes so often (because of the intervals) that it's over before I know it and I never get bored. It's fun and I love knowing that interval training is the best fat blaster there is. There's nothing like doing a tape that is not only fun but effective also. That's what I love about exercise! - posted by Yvonne on 4/21/2011 |

| nicely done |
| This is more intermediate than advanced, compared to other int/adv Kelly Coffey workouts, but it is still nicely done. I workout daily and it's foolish to always do advanced videos so intermediates always have their place with me. Kelly works the entire body here, and I'm always impressed with how she always manages to do just the right amount of reps - too many other instructors either don't do enough reps to be effective or do so many it becomes boring. Just when I'm about to go ARGH, Kelly squeezes a couple more reps out of me. Nice. Great pre-mixes too, with cardio or weights (one set or two) only. Sometimes when I want this workout to last an hour I'll tack on the cardio-only segment at the end. - posted by Susan W. on 12/30/2010 |

| It says mixed impact but... |
| I have torn cartilage in both knees so I am permanently restricted to low/lower impact. A friend of mine loved this DVD and loaned it to me. The weight lifting moves are fine but the cardio intervals are very basic high impact moves like jacks. To modify to an effective lower impact workout, you are pretty much on your own and I frequently was doing something totally different than what is on screen. Too much thought required for when I just want someone to lead me through a workout. If you can't do high impact, I recommend looking elsewhere. Also, tough but not particularly innovative. - posted by Vanessa on 11/29/2010 |

| great strength training while keeping the heart rate up |
| I really liked this video--it was challenging but do-able. The stretching at the end was insufficient and I was a bit disappointed by the abs sequence (it seemed very unchallenging compared to all of the earlier work in the video). But, overall it this is a great workout! - posted by Jessica on 10/12/2010 |

| Prepare to work your butt off (literally!) |
| I workout with Cathe, Jillian and Kelly, but have to say, this is the only DVD that left me sore in my butt and thighs. I could barely walk for 3 days! I think it was the curtsy lunges combined with the plie squats and I'm sure the plyo moves too! This workout does not disappoint. I think this has more fun factor than Jari Love Ripped 1000, as the music is better, and Kelly is more upbeat. I will admit, the stretch is short, but I just added about 5 extra minutes of stretching at the end. I would say this is my #2 fave DVD of Kelly's behind Circuit Burn! - posted by Erika on 9/20/2010 |

| No Nonsense |
| I tried one of Kelly Coffey-Meyers' weight lifting dvds after reaching yet another exercise/boredom plateau with my other videos. I have 3 kids and need to make the most of my precious workout time. I really like her efficiency with simple, clear cues and moves that are effective. I especially liked the weights part of this workout. I really felt it in my triceps afterward. I'm not into dancey moves, which is another reason why I like the Kelly Coffey-Meyers workouts. The moves are more athletic. The music isn't the greatest but other than that, I really like this dvd. I alternate it with a couple of other weight lifting dvds and running. I have to say that I have purchased a couple of Cathe dvds and thought I must've missed the part of the workout where they tell you what's going on. I don't have the time to study a video beforehand and memorize the moves. - posted by Sue on 6/18/2010 |

| excellent |
| I've used this video twice now and I'm sure it will go into my rotation. I'm working on getting back into shape after a few years of letting my job get to me way too much. Anyway, I think this is correctly labeled for the level. Intermediate tends to be too easy for me and I'm not yet ready to go back to my advanced tapes like Cathe and this fit perfectly in the middle. I really liked that I didn't get bored with it and I thought there was actually a good combination of cardio and sculpting, although I do tend to be stronger with sculpting than cardio. This may become one of my favorites because I think that even if I get back to the advanced level, this tape can still challenge me with a few adjustments. - posted by michelle on 6/4/2010 |
