P90X5-The NEW Infomercial: Wanna be in it?
Showing 1 - 20 of 68 results.

Page of 4
Doing the X is hard. Getting in the X-omercial is easy.

Here are the basics: You did one round of P90X. You crushed the program and have photos to prove it. I want to know who you are. Please contact Success Stories or successstories@beachbody.com.

The next phase is you dust off your camcorder (or borrow one) and REALLY tell me. Interview yourself, or have a spouse or trusted friend interview you. Don't stress about production value—if I can hear you clearly and you're not a silhouette in front of a bright window then its pretty much fine with me. I don't try to control the process. You're in control. You did P90X, so you should be strong enough to sit in front of a camera to tell your story. Remember, you might change someone's life with it. And people need the help.

Third phase is to shoot a little video of you doing the workouts. Let's see some dang pull-ups and Dreya rolls. Show some variety. Don't shoot whole routines, though, this is just to spice up your interview. Let's also see where you've been Bringing It. Let's see your copy of P90X, the TV or computer you follow along with. And if your child or dog wanders into the shot, let's see them too. In fact, send me photos or shoot anything you think illustrates who you were before P90X and who you are now.

BTW, though I happen to believe P90X is a lifetime program, we tend to focus more on 90 day results. Usually couch potatoes can't visualize themselves any further into the future, not to mention P90X looks a bit intimidating (uh, 'cause it is), so 90 days is about as much challenge as we tend to show.

I do make exceptions to this rule.

The last phase is to send it to me at the address below:

sweet! a P90X5 thread...lol May as well report in!

My name is John Desmarais and go by JD. I have been with beachbody for almost 2 and 1/2 years and started fresh out of the box with P90X. I completed three rounds of that, went into P90X+, did a bout of Insanity and comtinue to work with all those programs as well as Tony's One on One routines.

I mix and match through the program and follow the basic stage 3 nutrition in the P90X program to this day. I have continued to work hard.

About 2 months ago I had a shoulder injury that increased to the point of a needed operation. Torn Labrum was the verdict and it needed repair. I went into the surgury about 2 weeks ago but had slowed down my workouts due to the increasing pain about 2 months before.

This is a before "Beachbody" and P90X and my current shot from a couple months ago. I've lost a little of the cut look since my injury so I thought I would show you how I looked prior too it. I will return back in record time to this fitness level as I have already started doing a lot of cardio from the Insanity and One on One stuff to burn burn burn!



this is my today....

Hey, what happened to the thread for P90X 4? That thread had a lot of before/after photos that I used to access when showing people the changes that they could achieve. It was easy with all the photos grouped into one thread.

Hello,

Would you be interested in hearing my story. I started P90X August of last year. I have been working out with beach body programs for 5 months now. I crushed my first round and then jumped into Insanity. I have two weeks left of Insanity, before I plan on starting round 2 of P90X.

I have a thread that tells my story. I was a horrible couch potato, a slightly depressed alcoholic (I am being nice by saying slightly) and had a whole series of medical issues. Including completing the program with a torn rotator cuff. P90X also helped me dodge being put on high blood pressure medicine.

http://teambeachbody.com/connect/message-boards/-/message_boards/message/34488006?_19_delta=20&_19_keywords=&_19_advancedSearch=false&_19_andOperator=true&cur=1


I am still amazed and speechless when I look at the before and 90 day pics. I put them together so I could clearly see the difference.

Starting Stats
Weight 254
Waist 50.5
Hips 46.5
Chest 48
Right Arm 14.25
Left Arm 13.75
Body Fat 28-30%

90 Day
Weight 205
Waist 36
Hips 40
Chest 40.75
Right Arm 15.75
Left Arm 15
Body Fat 14.5%

I lost about 50 lbs, lost over 14" off my waste and I am lost over 50% body fat.

I went from a tight 46 to a tight 36.

Since I started Insanity I have lost another 10 lbs and am down to a 34. I am not sure if you are interested in my story as I would have completed both p90x and insanity. I have attached some pics. The last pic was taken 2 weeks ago.

Let me know what you think.

Still pushing play!

~Brian

I am 41 year old recruiter in Great Falls, MT. Been in the military for just about 11 years. I was the type of soldier that was one of the last ones to finish everything and struggle, and struggle with push up and sit ups. With doing your famous P90X, I am doing more than 18 year olds doing a physical fitness test.

I love this program I just wish more people would do it. I had to finally put all that bad stuff down and get my life back into gear.

I wish I could be in your next infomercial but with me being in the military I am not authorized to endorse/promote any products. To make a long story short, I am keeping up with rangers now and loving every minute of it.

Thanks P90X and Beach Body for the self confidence in doing this program. It truly and honestly works.

Breana,
My husband and I started P90X together the 1st of January. We will finish our 90 days at the end of March / beginning of April. We are loving the program and can't wait to see the end product. Can we send in the results in the summer, too.

Also, we haven't been able to get a pull up bar because our doorways on the floor where we workout are all double openings. We have substituted those exercises with other arm and back exercises. Can we still participate in the entry?

I have a friend who would like to be on an Infomercial. She is in great shape -- driven to the max, focused, powerful -- she does it all. She is transitioning from kickboxing/weight training to INSANITY -- she saw the infomerical on it and dreams of being one of the infomercial people. Question to anyone is HOW DOES SHE DO IT?

Thanks Evan

Days 1-180
2/9/10 6:50 PM as a reply to RichieBauer.
It's amazing what a good diet and 6 months can do to you!! I have learned so much in this time and thank my family, friends and Beachbody for helping me make this happen. If I can do it, anyone can.

It's funny, July '09 my family and I were sitting at the pool when health and fitness came up. My sister said that she saw P90x on TV one night and just bought it. She may have drunk dialed it I'm not sure emoticon So she's telling me about it and how she was going to start it that week. I didn't know what P90x was so I YouTube'd it. The results I saw were unreal! Instant motivation. After a day or two not sure if this was real (skeptic) I gave it a shot. The first day Chest/Back/Abs near crippled me. The next few days I was so sore I could hardly perform the other discs. Finally the 2nd week came and I was hooked and never looked back!

I know it's a simple story but so is getting home from work everyday and taking the hour or so, hitting play and giving it all you have. When you do this YOU WILL get results!

Hope this helps anyone trying to make a change for the better.

Here are my pics of days 1-180!!

Thanks

Bryan

I have no idea how you're doing "P90X" if you don't have a pull up bar. That's about 25% of the program. And if you're substituting those with other exercises, you're really not doing P90X. Any results you submit won't be realistic because you are fairly significantly altering the program.

Also, if you have double openings, get the "Go Fit" Chin up bar. It screws into the side of the door frame so it doesn't matter if you have extra large openings. It should work with anything.

The OP stated they're interested in 90 day results only. The infomercial is for 1 round of P90X. If you've done 1 round plus insanity plus additional months of beachbody programs, you're not really in the demographic they're looking for, since your results would not be typical of someone who has done 90 days of P90X.


Here are my pics of days 1-180!!


Again, the OP asked for 90 DAY results. They created this thread because they need people who have completed one round and are actively looking for people in the infomercial. This isn't a thread where they want people to post random success stories from 6-12 months of using various beachbody programs.

She is transitioning from kickboxing/weight training to INSANITY
What does that have to do with P90X? Many of you are missing the point. If I was watching a P90X infomercial, I would want to see "success stories" from people who had completed P90X, not some random person who completed Insanity and were active in a separate kickboxing and weight training program. They're not looking for people in really good shape they're looking for PEOPLE WHO HAVE COMPLETED 1 ROUND OF P90X.

Did you read the part where Breana states she does make exceptions to the 90 day rule? Also I have been doing P90X ONLY for 180 days and a little more, not 12 months yet though. How do you know what "they" want people to post? Good way to try and bring people down bro....

Logan1 is correct...having a commercial called p90x with people's result doing Insanity/P90x / hybrids...or past 90 days is a lie to the public watching the commercial...

I believe they would just take your day 1 and day 90 pics, and "your" video could say, I'm now in my 2nd round of the X...but they would only show the day 1 / day 90 pics (not your day 180)...otherwise they are misrepresenting what you can get for results in 90 days emoticon This is important for those watching.

The exception is like the current commercial now, where Tommy M, shows his progression from day 1 thru 5 rounds of the X...and how hard his work paid off..but he specifically talks (and they show) his results thru each of his 5 rounds.

So no Logan1 isn't trying to bring people down....but it the commercial needs to be showing 90 day results, or its misleading...and here comes the FCC emoticon

By the way...you look fantastic!
