I have done Body Flex off and on, and Shapely Secrets (exercise only)of and on. Recently I got committed to doing it. I do Body Flex for the 18 minutes work out, then Shapely Secrets exercise for the 7 minutes. Didn't really change my eating habits . Not looking at the scale or measuring myself cause that tends to defeat me.But I will say that I have gone from a size 22 to an 18 in the last couple of months.I am satisfied and I will continue. I didn't get to a size 22 overnight and I wont get to a 12 overnight either. I recommend these exercises to anyone like me that hates to exercise, this works!

I have been doing this for 7 minutes every day for 2 months and have lost 2 dress sizes. For the people who say it does not work are not squeezing your muscles correctly

This product works wonderful and as I was reading these comments I couldn't stop laughing because you can buy this product with cash at Walmart. You guys are all crazy.

All I ever get out of the 'reviews' is money complaints and of course it triggers to 'this product don't do nothing for my body'...If you could just put the money thing in the back burner and focus on what benefits you get out of Greer's movements, we can all be positive and be a winner. When I do the 7-minute steps, I do feel like I'm burning inside and my 'fat burner' takes off weight & inches that she promised. We all should focus on how it works and appreciate Greer. I mean..c'mon...it beats taking a trip to the gym. And not only that, she helps us eat right with basic foods we should educate ourselves to eat. I respect Greer's hard work and sharing her secrets with us whether you believe it or not. Let's put some positive feedback on this reviews instead of depressing complaints how we received it. It's an honor to have someone like Greer to help us feel good about ourselves. Good luck!

This company is major bogus! I simply called two different numbers to see if I could get around all these other crazy offers that they were offering me and I hung up my phone and did not finalize any order. Next thing I know, my credit card was charged $200.00 for a product that was to have been in an easy two payments of $14.98. Most companies always send you a confirmation by e-mail whenever you place an order and I never got a confirmation that I had ordered anything from this place, but they were quick to send me an e-mail falsely accusing me of placing an order. I called them up and they tried to talk all over me. I told them to reimburse me my money right away or else there would be legal action taken against them. The glitch is when you first call the order number, the first thing that they ask you is your name, address and credit card number before you can even place an order. Legitimate companies do not get your credit/debit card info until after you have decided what you want to order. I will see in a week if my money goes back on my card. Hmph! On another note, I'm not saying that the product may not work, it's just the ordering method sucks! It's against the law to charge someone's card for a sale that hasn't been finalized and confirmed!

Ok, I read all the reviews and still decided to trr it. I wouldn't gamble much money on something I wasn't sure would work, but $20 is such a small amount compared to gym memberships, gym equipment, etc. I purchased a prepaid Visa card and used that to order my Shapely Secrets. I patiently replied "no" to all the offers of extra products and was finally given a confirmation of my order. I received my order within 2 weeks and never had any problems with them charging me extra. Even if they tried it would't work because after the original purchase of Shapely Secrets was charged to the card, I spent the rest of the money on the prepaid card. After receiving the product, I tried it, reserving judgement until I had used it for 2 weeks. In those 2 weeks, I lost 7 pounds and several inches. I dropped a jean size. Now, I consider that a success. Bottom line is, if you can't purchase this product from EBay, get a prepaid Visa and buy it that way instead. Good luck everyone!

Hey girls... I'm just like you, but I do my research first... "Shapely Secrets will not create a body like a fitness model. The Shapely Secrets workout will not sculpt, chisel, buff or streamline any body. Shapely Secrets will not get rid of tummy rolls or hanging jiggling flesh on your arms. It will not take a size 14 woman to a size 8. Some users of the Shapely Secrets program have reported increased upper arm tone after several weeks, plus weight and inches lost. But remember, the entire Shapely Secrets program includes those seven secrets, which relate to diet, and after watching the DVD, I will assert that any weight and inches lost are the result of the change in diet that the seven secrets advises about. Other reviews are negative, claiming no results. Remember, many people who purchase infomercial workout gadgets will, at the same time, start dieting. Eating less will cause weight and inch loss".

I ordered the product on line and received it. It came with a ridiculous necklace and some "vitamins" which I am not going to try since I didn't order them.
They are repeatedly charging my account random amounts and I am going to report them for mail fraud as well as continue to dispute the charges to my account. When I try to call customer service, the number doesn't even work!!!

I ordered the product to try it. I answered NO to all extras on the phone. I even paid extra to get it to me early. NOT WORTH IT! Plus, they kept charging my credit card over and over and when I called to talk to someone about it, they could barely speak english and she couldnt understand what I was asking her. DO NOT ORDER THIS PRODUCT! I read and did my work before I ordered it, but i though, na this wouldn't happen to me. IT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU TOO!!!

It sounds like all the bad remarks and or comments have to deal with the charges of this product. Plain and simple, this product is awesome. I was very skeptical at first, it looks too easy, but in just three days I have felt so sore. I am really excited and motivated to continue with it.

After reading reviews of the basic Shapely Secrets and the advanced one I decided to go straight to the advance. It was $23.00 and change by the time I paid for shipping. I ordered it from the official website and received in ten days form the day I placed my order. I have been a Body Flex user since 1999 and have lost weight on that without ant diet. I stopped because I had a thyroidectomy and had little energy to do it. After doing Shapely Secrets for a week I notice a difference in the way my clothes fit. My husband and friends have also commented on the fact that I look slimmer. Twenty minutes a day is too daunting for me right now, but seven minutes per day is great. I would advise going directly to the advanced which is less expensive, has no diet plan, gifts or hype and just do the workout. There is no special breathing with this one. Just try to breathe regularly. Greer hasn't let me down yet! And from what I am seeing is that it does work.

I started back in February and it is now April 4th. I took about three wks off because I was ill. However, both my chiropractor and my husband asked me if I was losing weight. They both noticed that my clothes are getting baggier. It was the greatest feeling. I am continuing with this one!!!

Years ago I tried Body Flex and lost 15 pounds and 19 inches in 30 days. I still do the breathing, but don't have much room to do the body positions. Can anyone out there give a more detailed description on how it works and what is is involved? I'm debating on whether to order or not. Is there any breathing with this workout? If not, I would imagine that using the breathing techniques along with whatever the exercise is would greatly speed up and improve the results.

I am sorry to hear all of these bad experiences, it must have been truly frustrating. However, what I did is went to the actual website and ordered it through greers website. It sounds like the company that most ordered from is an infomercial company that takes orders for various infomercial products. Either way, I prefer to do things online. The product itself worked wonders. Ii have been doing it for about 3 months now (not everyday unfortunately) and have lost 3 inches in my waist and 2 inches off my hips. I am not necessarily counting my arms and thighs as those are not my problem areas. I did not use the diet either which is really good for me. I simply cannot do the diet. I am not even going to lie to myself. And I am too lazy to do a 30 min. exercise. That is why I don't do her bodyflex, even though I know that works well. But oh well, I know I can 7 min. Have seen results so I am going to continue.

Ordered from Shapely Secrets website which resulted in similar problems experienced by others here. They charged the card but gave every fairytale known to man as to the reason the company did not deliver the product. I have a complaint with the BBB and consumer complaints. Bought from ebay, just as someone else here did. Got the product, like the product, and have to wonder if the product is available on ebay, why can't the company deliver the product and something close to decent customer service. Using a paypal account on ebay also works to eleviate problems such as the credit card was denied, etc. Product rates high - company is in the toilet.

The sooner the better, and some cards have dispute windows. If you contact the company to get a refund, document dates and preferably who you speak to. Then if you don't get results through the company, contact your credit card company to file a dispute. Pull out your list of dates you contacted the company, what you were promised and if you've received those promises. The credit card company will often revoke payment from the business you are dealing with and credit your account. But again, many credit card companies have a time window to file a dispute. Contact your credit card company and let them know what is going on. The credit card company will let you know if they can be of any assistance. One final note, if your credit card company sends you paperwork to fill out, fill it out in a timely fashion and keep copies for your files. Your promptness helps the credit card company fight the business.

I was brought to tears with a customer service representive told me to "Shut Up, I was giving her a headache" and she hung up on me. I have completely given up on receiving my money back from this company. It is so difficult to talk to anyone about my problem. The have all the proof they need to give me my money back yet they continue to insult me and talk to me like I am asking for things that I don't deserve. A true measurement of a company is how they handle their problems and they have truly failed me.

I have been trying to order this product for over 2 months now. The custoer service first told me that my card was expired, so I re-ordered. When I called to check the status of that 2nd order they told me that the card wouldnt process so I re-recited my credit card number and the lady said "oops, well, it looks like we got the numbers mixed up. We'll get it out to you now." so that was order #3. 2 weeks later I called AGAIN to check the status of the order and they said that there was a "fatal error" on the credit card, that they couldnt run it ever again and if I wanted to get my product I'd have to use another credit card. When i asked what kind of fatal error i had they girl just said I'd have to contact my credit card company to find out exactly what was wrong with it because they couldnt tell. To my surprise the credit card company said that they never even TRIED to charge my card and that the error was from shapely secrets. So once again i called customer service and they said they'd put it on that same card (which they denied 3 times by now) since the error was supposedly their fault. I called again today to see if it had been shipped and they gave me the speech about the fatal error again. Finally my father (whose card it was anyway) got on the phone and had to bitch at a customer service agent, someone else who *claimed* to be a manager then after 20 minutes of arguing with her he finally spoke to a man named Frank who seemed to be in charge. Frank was livid when he heard how we'd been treated and hopefully the problem is now solved. I suggest speaking with Frank if anyone has a problem.

I just love Greer. She is so personable. I tried the seven minute workout. It looks so easy but afterwards you can feel it in your muscles like you just spent two hours at the gym. My 16 yr. old daughter kind of laughed and felt it was too easy...but she tried it and admitted too that it has to be doing good because she felt like she just spent hours at the gym. Fantastic!!! Can't wait to see us in two weeks, one month, two months, three months, etc. I am not giving up on this one...you can feel that it works!!! Love u Greer!

I was concerned about purchasing through the company, since I heard there was a really long wait time. So I got it off of Ebay - including expedited shipping, it was about $5-7 more, but I wasn't charged sales tax. Within the week, I received the product. Since I just started the program, I can't say if it actually works or not, but I was really pleased with how quickly I received the product from the 3rd party seller. Regardless of whether the exercises truly work, changing your diet alone with the included suggestions should yield some results. At this time in my life, there's no way I can incorporate 30 minutes of exercise a day into my schedule, so I'm willing to try this out.

Ok, here is an update to my previous post, they not only didn't give me my credit back but they charged me again!!! There must be someone I can call to help me with this, I have checked the website and I can find a corporate number or anything. I have been on hold for Custmer Service for 45 minutes waiting on a supervisor.

This have been one of the worst experiences I have ever had. I ordered the product and it took 2 months for me to receive, the charged my account with great speed. I called the inquire about my order and the agents were the worst, they told me all kind of lies ranging from we are sold out to well you order is pending and we can't cancel until you order is complete. After 3 weeks of wrangling with everyone, my order finally arrived and i called to cancel the order and was treated worse than i was before I order the product. I shipped it back. And now I am waiting on my credit. God only know if that is going to happen. I was so disgusted at the customer service I didn't even want to try the product. I even sent back the free gift that come with it. I am just happy to be rid of the product. Buyers beware and bring a lot of patience once you become a customer, after then you are not valued at all.
