That's why I said I own them. <br />I thought if I join Sweat Factor, I can see all of the Zuzka workouts as it was the case with the old ZGym. But they apparently only add a couple of workouts (previously free ZWOWs or ones from the old ZGym, you never know) weekly as a part of their schedule, so it can take years of membership to get all the series I'm interested in (Guns and Pistols, Kettlebell and Tabata from the old ZGym). I didn't mean the new Zuzka ZGym, I plan on joining anyway.<br />I hope that makes sense as I'm not a native English speaker.elliotreedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09241908332118328211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943301854296721090.post-45865977910654486172014-11-05T04:25:30.779-08:002014-11-05T04:25:30.779-08:00Elliotreed - Sweat Factor and zuzkalight.com are n...Elliotreed - Sweat Factor and zuzkalight.com are now separate. SW offers workouts every day from various trainers including Zuzka. They include all of her older ZGym work that NO ONE has access to anymore - but did at one time before this whole chaos started. But the older Zuzka videos are property of SW not Zuzka. If you join HER site NOW (zuzkalight.com) you will get 3 new workouts a week - all new ones by her. I think some people will do both so they can continue to get access to some of their older favorite workouts by Z, and others have cancelled from SW and will just join zuzkalight.com for her new stuff. They are each $10 a month.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13632837441617369256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943301854296721090.post-86318632645586334922014-11-05T00:55:59.908-08:002014-11-05T00:55:59.908-08:00I went to their FB page and was about to post my q...I went to their FB page and was about to post my question. But what I read there was pretty disappointing! It looks like you only get some Zuzka's workouts as a part of the weekly schedule. I'm not willing to pay for workouts I may already have.<br />Gina, would you please ask your blog followers, whose ZGym membership was transferred to Sweat Factor, what Zuzka workouts they currently have access to?

If not, then contact your credit card. At least you'll get something for your $10.<br />I would also post this on Zuzka's FB page. flat out ask her what she CAN do. She can't control sweat factor, but now since she is her own boss what CAN she do to help you? Put the question out there for others to see. Even if you do not get a response it will be there for others to see. <br />I will also do a post on this tonight so others can read about it too.

She may not respond to it but it's important that it be seen. She said that it's not up to her what sweatfactor does, but she announced the launch of her new site on short notice, she didn't get back to people in time -- that was up to her. <br /><br />Even if she doesn't respond, other people need to know this! I'm sorry that happened to you.

An apology, sooner than later, would be the best move and garner more appreciation - for her and her product. That said, I think I'm going to try ZGYM for a month with its $1 promotion.... then again, I don't know if they've got all their kinks sorted out so I'll probably just wait. See, that's the bad thing about this mess! I don't trust for things to go smoothly. THAT is a bad impression at work.<br /><br />I read somewhere recently about how building one's brand involves making someone feel like they own part of it... Bothy Zuzana and Bodyrock have been so good with that that despite any hiccups, any die hard followers (or at least a strong percentage of them) will stick with them. I've followed BR more than Zuzana but am looking at more of her workouts, and find that I like her style overall. I really do like BR's recent programs, as mentioned before. But I've had no plans to pay for any of them as of yet! Maybe I'm a cheapskate, maybe I like to do my own research/modifications/advancement, but I dunno -- I'm not that diehard just yet and I think my clicks and views are monetary support enough at this point, thanks to advertising, etc.<br /><br />Or I really could just be a horrible fan of their work, lol.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03807540258840190972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943301854296721090.post-84270421859481125902014-11-03T13:08:37.974-08:002014-11-03T13:08:37.974-08:00I have heard back from sweat factor and they said ...I have heard back from sweat factor and they said they are unable to issue me a refund because they can only issue refunds within 120 days of the transaction. Given I paid for six months and I signed up June 10, 2014, my membership was paid until Dec 9, 2014; thus, I now don't get a refund for Nov 1 to Dec 9. It's only about $10 bucks, but it's so frustrating. Zuzana should be offering me (and others) who can't get the money back due to the120 days a credit at her new Zgym. Sweat factor told me to contact my credit card company. This is total garbage that I have to work this hard to get only 10 bucks back! People can say what they want but I have never once complained about paying her for Zgym so I feel it's not unreasonable for me to be upset over how things have gone. <br /><br />I WANT TO SIGN UP for the new Zgym! I am actually so frustrated over this because I feel like morally I can't sign up for the new one due to how she has handled this situation...yet I love her workouts and think $10 is reasonable to pay. I wish she would just manage this situation so I could continue on with her in good faith. lexxiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00713461025828343748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943301854296721090.post-71427554711870385842014-11-03T12:59:41.810-08:002014-11-03T12:59:41.810-08:00Sorry - it's a sample of the one arm push up o...Sorry - it's a sample of the one arm push up on my knees.

I ...I think Zuzka is a bit more in the red now too. I typically like Zuzka's workouts better because I love KB's and jump rope, but with that being said, the HIIT Maxx has been extremely well done. LOL Lindsey about the push ups. I would love some upper body muscles, but I am starting to come to the conclusion that I will be a toned girl, just not a muscular one. I did one arm push ups on my knees instead and found that easier on my back, just as hard on the arms, harder on the abs, but less on the glutes. Zuzka just posted a free leg workout and its a good one, but wearing a weighted vest or adding in weights would be ideal to build a booty in my opinion. I did an example in a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5o8Jcwg5ruQ starting at 53 seconds.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13632837441617369256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943301854296721090.post-43114720090229497802014-11-03T12:49:38.073-08:002014-11-03T12:49:38.073-08:00I am at a loss for words Lexxie.

I think Zuzana is more in the red right now. Honestly, I wouldn't pay for any of their workouts as their library is so vast and the internet is full of resources where they aren't the only ones out there to supply knowledge. That said, I really really enjoy the Hiitmax series on Bodyrock, the first and the second so far. The other challenges aside from the original Real-Time Challenge have only been okay, but the structure of these are so top-notch. So much so that I wager that these types of programs will be available for a fee in 2015. We'll see - and maybe at that time I will consider purchasing it. But who knows, I may have designs to create and market my own ;)<br /><br />Day 31 of the Hiitmax challenge was good, but yeah, I'm done with push ups. Since my upper body is actually really defined and built for my tastes, I've been incorporation lower body exercises with upper body whenever a push up exercise has been "assigned". For example, squats/lunges and any of their variations with a press; deadlifts with a row (upper, bentover, or otherwise); and/or a chest press or fly on an exercise ball with my glutes engaged in a bridge. <br /><br />Did you do the one-armed push ups or did you come up with a variation that didn't hurt your back? I'd be interested in any alternative you came or would come up with. As for me, I did bent over rows with deadlifts (straight leg or bent knee).<br />Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03807540258840190972noreply@blogger.com
