I have been doing these workouts for 6 months now. I needed to lose weight. I have succeeded and am continuing to work to lose more. I absoulutely love Mari. Her instruction is amazing. I have tried other workouts and did not enjoy it at all. She is easy to follow and explains with perfection. I do not follow the schedule, but I do the various workouts 4-5 times per week. I have also added the circle, the beginners circle workout and the advanced circle workout! They are amazing also. I also do a day of just cardio, for 30-45 minutes(walking, jogging, or swimming) Weight loss has been fun and easy. I have gotten more compliments on my appearance than in my life. I am stronger, longer, and leaner. I am 5′7″ tall when I started I weighed 216lbs., I now weigh 171lbs. I feel better than ever. On days when I do my workout(morning) I have energy all day! I cannot say enough about this. I believe though that with hard work anything can work…THIS WORKS FOR ME!

Hi Holly. I’m down about 10 lbs from where I was when I first started my working out (almost 2 years ago), but I also have more muscle and less fat than I used to. I also had an accident last year that left me with a few broken limbs, so I would expect someone who didn’t go through that to be in even better shape than I currently am. I also try to do yoga 1 or 2 times a week, but it’s been hard for me to get to that in recent months. Slimming Pilates is so much easier since I can just do it at home (I pretty much have the routines memorized by now).

Good luck!

I purchased this product last year and it has basically been in the closet since then. I just did my first work out and I am going to try to follow her suggestions daily. I would love to hear about your results hoping that it will inspire me to keep at it. Are you doing anything else in addition to Mari’s videos?

Hi Jaime. I’ll see about posting some pictures. While I hate having my picture taken, I am really happy with my results. I think I need to go on ‘What Not To Wear’ first. Thanks for writing!

I am bookmarking this page in hopes you’ll add pictures…not because I am a creep, but I really want to see REAL success pictures to ensure this works. I can never fully believe an infomercial. Thanks for the great review too…helped out a lot.

Thanks for commenting, Nola. I, too, am frustrated by some of the poor customer service I’ve seen with regards to this product, especially since I really enjoy Mari Winsor’s Slimming Pilates. I just hope they’ve been reading some of these messages and will start to make some changes.

Hi, I too am dismayed by the negative responses to the Winsor Slimming Pilates prorammes, its sad that such a great motivator and programme is overshadowed by poor customer service centre staff (I live in Australia and this new product has just become available through the old tried and trusted Guthy-Renker who have very helpful staff). I have been using Mari’s products for 8 years now and have always enjoyed the slight upgrades to the moves to accommodate the new equipment. I believe its one of the things that makes her workouts great. I know the moves I don’t have to crane my neck to watch, and in these new workouts she has given even more emphasis to explaining the correct techniques both for your body posture and breathing during the workouts, plus her enthusiasm for pilates is even more infectious!!. Also there is greater emphasis on the moderator.
Not living in north America, I too can not access the free membership to the club to get the extra workout calendars. It did frustrate me until I told myself to get over it and see it as a great opportunity to take control of the workouts to suit myself by just tweaking the beginners schedule that came with my kit, also I ordered the Deluxe kit so I’m just adding the extra weights to it. For those who still have the programmes do give it a go, both the DVD’s and Accelerator make this a great low impact workout..cheers Nola

Hi Kate,

I did take your advice and gave them a call. They insisted on the 90 day warranty and then I asked to speak to a manager who was “busy” she came back on the phone and offered to refund my shipping. My reply was that would be great, except I cannot use the product at all. I asked to speak to a manager again was put on hold and told they were “busy” again. Then she offered to send me a new accelerator within 7 to 10 business days. Hopefully it does come. I’ll make sure to let you know when and if it arrives!

Thanks again for the suggestion!

Hi Kris. I’m really sorry to hear that your accelerator broke. I haven’t had that problem, but maybe some other users can respond with their experiences. I’m not sure what to do about the 90 day warranty except maybe to try calling customer service again and ask to speak to a manager. I haven’t had to do this with Mary Winsor products, but speaking to a manager was the only way I could get results for the numerous problems I’ve had with my cable company. Good luck, Kris, and please let us know if you have any success.
