hi, I am from New Zealand. I have just found this site because I was looking for more info on turbojam. It was advertised for the first time in New Zealand yesterday and I ordered it because it looked so interesting, and now reading what people have posted I am glad that I did. The guy on the phone said that interest in this was phenominal. It will be interesting to see how long it takes to get here.

hi. try ringin them again. because this has been so popular they may have found it hard to return all the calls. there is a 30 back order on this now also. if you havn't still got the phone number it is 0800 008 009. Explain about ringing them and they will probably take your order then. hope this works for you.:D

hi Becks. good to hear from someone else in N.Z. I didn't have any problems at all and as long as you don't mind the 30 backorder period it was all good. Mind you that back order period may have been dealt with by now. Let me know how you get on.

Hiya I think you should totally give this ago and I haven't even done it yet, I lost 25kgs doing Tae BO after I had my son, actually I got too skinny now I look back and once you get past that first hard couple of weeks it gets addictive, well Tae Bo did and I am sure this will be the same, I still do Tae Bo now six years later except I am getting pretty bored of it as I have had the same three tapes all that time, the odd time I have given up Tae Bo completely for something else it has been terrible, I get so tired and grumpy so now I know that it is non negotiable for me even on those days I really can'[t be stuffed I also started running this year which I gotta be honest, I am not really enjoying so I am hoping Turbo Jam will be enough that I don't have too any more, I am not really into the whole special eatin plans but do generally try watch what I eat except Chocolate I WILL NEVER GIVE THAT Up I would rather work out for two hours a day he he I think Turbo Jam is really reasonably priced too I paid over two hundy for my first tae bo library (3 videos) paid bout that for my windsors when it first came out and bout 180 for core secrets when it first came out so the price is good. Give it a go, I think you'll love it

hi guys, good to see that you were able to order the tj easily becks, a tip i picked up is to watch you bank account if you paid by credit card, Because once its taken off you get it about 2 days after (i was so excited when i saw the money had come out lol). I'm a stay at home mum also Ash and i find it is as awesome as everyone is saying, i lost 4kgs in the first 2 weeks. Which is great cos i'm still trying to lose the baby weight from 3 years ago (well thats what i'm claiming the weight is from :wink:

). Once you start you'll be surprised how much you enjoy it and how fast the time flies. Yes Becks what i got is the same as the inital starter pack that is advertised on the website that the americans are buying from. Let me know what you think of it when you get it, i'd be interested to know if your enjoying it as much as me. lol. :grin:

Hiya all just a note to let you know I got my tapes this morning I couldn't believe it I only ordered on Thursday after reading some of the comments on their customer service I was expecting a long wait was so suprised to find them at my door this morning, didn't get a chance to do them today son's soccer and breakup etc, but tommorow will definately be doing it, have you guys done your starting measurements cos that is the fun part watching them change then quoting your beginning ones to everyone when you get super buff. happy turboing

Hi Becks and Steph,
Hope you two are enjoying yourself.
I finally bit the bullet today and placed an order for the TJ.
I have a 3 and 1/2 year old rascal and 6 month old angel, just wanna get started asap. Hopefully I will get these extra kgs a flick. Fingers crossed.
All the best :thumbsup:

Ash

Hi Ash, I don't think you will regret buying it, as I mentioned before mine was here within a couple of days which I wasn't expecting, I am on my third day today, geez I must look funny ya know how things seem really hard and you feel really uncordinated thats how I feel I must look so funny, it's quite fustrating it's reminding me of my frist step class, so I don't feel like I am getting a proper workout yet, but once I get the hang of it it is going to be so cool, can't wait to hear what you think and how you go. Hope you get yours as fast.

Hey, I am an "at home" mum from nz and this may sound like a noob question but how do I sign up for turbo jam if I do not have a credit card??? I've only seen bits and pieces of the ad so I dont know the full details. (Am not much of a tv person and have only just found out about turbo jam)

My son is turning one in September and I am really determined to lose the baby weight not only for myself but to keep up with my son as he gets older lol... Please help an nz mum in need!!!

Hi Energizer Bunny! Im really not sure how you order it without a CC, have you called the TV shop 0800 number? I called 0800 008 666 and got through that way. Ask them, there may be a way you can do it by chq or via Internet Banking?? What abuot Trade Me?? There are lots of them on there, and cheaper than the TV shop, and the beauty with that is that you can pay via net banking or pick up if its in your area.

My TJ arrived yesterday and so far Ive done the 20 minute workout yesterday and today I did the Learn and Burn and the 20 min workout again. I woke up to sore muscles, but Im definatly going to do it each day!!

I need to get on the kindy run right now, I'll come back later :)

Hey LittleKiwi, thanks for the advice and info I will look into it just as soon as I find the time to lol I am not really familiar with purchasing items on TradeMe or even online in general so its all quite new to me and I dont want to be one of those people who get suckered into a dud deal...lol... BUT I will "browse" around and see what I find :D

Yeah, I was sceptical too, but from the little that Ive done, Ive actually really enjoyed it, and know that its something I can do each day. Over the last two days Ive dropped off my 4 y/o off at morning kindy and did the TJ with my 3 y/o. This seems to work nicely for me. I also have a gym membership (which I am very slack with!!) so will try and get there a couple times a week (this works better at night once hubbie gets home).

I really reccomend Trade Me, its reeeeally easy. Ive sold and brought loads over the past few years. Its even easier if you can find the item you need in your own city, as you can pop round to their house and pay cash on their doorstep! You should take a look :) Its so addictive, we sold everything that wasnt nailed down on TM to buy our house, you know, old baby things we no longer needed etc etc.

I know what you mean about loosing baby weight....I cant really use that excuse anymore...my 'baby' is 3.5 years old!

lol yeah I know what you mean! It sounds cute how ur 3yr old joins in with you whilst doing TJ sounds like a good way to bond with em too, beats planting em in front of the tv or game console lol

I just checked Trade Me and discovered the TJ dvds selling for much cheaper than the tv advertisement lol Hopefully I get it as there were no "buy now" tabs or anything..... I am such a noob at this stuff lol Definately need more practice at this...

Thanks again!

I am so eager to do this, I WANT IT, I WANT IT, NOW, NOW, NOW! lol Atleast with TJ I'll definately know that I'm doing it right lol

I have no idea really, about the other packages. I see some people are selling different DVDs in the range on TM, for around $75 a DVD!!!

Try calling the 0800 numger at night, thats when I got through to them :)

........Hows the TJ coming along for ya LittleKiwi?

^{I just recieved Turbo Jam a few days ago.YAY after giving the "Learn and Burn" dvd a go, I have realised how shocking my fitness really is that I couldn't even complete the whole 20min work out The sweat was dripping off me by the bucket lol I must admit I felt more energized and a whole lot better after it even though I only completed some of it and craved for healthy food too..}

^{I am going to keep at it no matter what. I just fear the day I become pregnant again and may fall back into old eating habits due to sweet and fatty cravings like I did with my son .}

^{Thanks for listening!}

Hi, I am new member of this forum. I had been searching this sort of forums since many years. Now I have found this forum and I am very glad because I can read about Turbo Jam. It is very useful for weight loss and with this process of weight loss the human body becomes attractive.
