Personal Trainer in a Box: Infomercial Review"120 proven exercises so you and your muscles will never be bored." That's the premise behind the new commercial for Personal Trainer in a Box. Ironic considering the incredibly boring commercial itself.
GOOD GRIEF!!! Does this infomercial need a make-over! I'm sure the musical score uses a total of two different chords throughout the 5 minutes (or was it 500?). The spokesperson herself, inventor or not, has a voice that is both monotone and ingratiatingly-screetchy. And rather than showing people actually doing her exercises, almost the entire ad is her walking and talking! Lori said that when she went to the gym, her muscles were bored. I'm sure. In fact, I'm sure her bones, her hair, her nails, every part of her is bored stiff and itching to detach themselves.
As a person who has sworn off exercising (I don't like pain), I probably won't bother with Personal Trainer in a Box. My sister, though, was fascinated enough that she ordered it, and she says she has never been so motivated to get in shape as she has been since using the program. Me? I can't get over the commercial.
Like the part where Lori shows her pictures when she was overweight. Am I the only one who was not repulsed by those, but thought she was still hot looking even then?
Lori says her product is unique because it's nearly 200 cards that you store in this box, each with a unique exercise on it. The concept is that you can't let your muscles know what's coming next; you have to confuse them. And then the announcer at the end says it's a $300 value for less than $80. Confusing your muscles? You've just confused me. If you're the only one offering this product, how do you figure its regular price is $300? Still, my sister says it saves her a lot over a gym membership and is a bargain.
But if boring your muscles really is the concern....then don't let them see this commercial.
