Certified instructor description: A high-intensity program that makes you feel like you're
really working out on the Brooklyn Bridge. The left side of the screen shows what you'd see if you were actually in New York, running across the Bridge (e.g. stunning skyline views, authentic sidewalk shots). The right side shows an in-home version of a similar exercise (e.g. six minutes of jumping jacks, instead of running). You also get short muscle toning intervals within the cardio. These range from basic push-ups and donkey kicks to resistance band exercises like side squats and pull-ups. Beautiful photography and very motivating music. Includes two heavy-duty, loop-style resistance bands and a 32-page booklet. Note: a few moves will require modifications to do indoors (e.g. squats pulling against a fence). ©2011. DVD has:

Brooklyn Bridge Boot Camp |
 Too boring |
| I was excited to try this DVD because of all the good reviews, but unfortunately I ended up sending it back. I am an intermediate/advanced exerciser who works out 4-5 days per week and am used to fairly high intensity workouts. The boring and uninspired cardio segments were enough to make me question why this workout is worth such a high price tag. Working out with the bands was a nice change, but I tried this DVD twice and didn't feel any soreness afterward either time. I hate to give it such a bad review, but I would only recommend it if you don't mind doing jumping jacks and squat jumps for half of your workout - or maybe if you have a treadmill next to your TV that you can run on during those segments. - posted by Jen on 1/23/2013 |

| A Bit Repetetive |
| It is good exercise, but not very creative. A lot of Jumping Jacks do get the heart rate up but can make it hard to keep going due to boredom. - posted by Lesa on 1/3/2013 |

| Glad I Tried It |
| The commenter below me says it best: Something Different. I give a lot of credit to Ariane for giving us something different inasmuch as using the split screen to view the class running across the Brooklyn Bridge while we do the jumping jacks, sumo squats, etc. I will agree with the others about the repetitiveness but I started to improvise after awhile. Once you get past the first 20 minutes it does go faster once she gets "to the grass" for the strength movements. Before you know it, you are going back over the bridge on the way home. With all the jumping jacks in this workout, there is no way that it won't kick your butt. While the exercises aren't new it was a nice change of scenery as opposed to most other workout DVDs. I give respect to Ariane for that. - posted by Missy on 10/20/2012 |

| Something different |
| This DVD is something different. I lived in New York for 10 years before I moved to the West Coast. Seeing the Manhattan skyline and landmarks I miss is motivating. The moves are to the point and work my whole body. It's not an easy workout and you have to work your way through it when you first start but then after a couple times you will be able to make the whole workout through without stopping. I take the bands with me on trips. They are easy to carry with me and the booklet shows me the moves, so I don't even need a DVD player in my hotel room. It's a fun workout video to watch and I like it so much better than my Pilates workouts with a studio background. I can only watch them once in a while because I get so bored. I would compare this DVD to the Jillian Michaels workouts or P90x or Insanity in terms of the challenge level. Recommend you try it if you like strength training and getting very sweaty. - posted by Isabel on 8/17/2012 |

| Not One of My Favorites. |
| I was so excited to try this DVD, but I am disappointed to have to say that I am just not that pleased with this one. If you like to do repetitive moves over and over again, then you will like this DVD. I just can't get into the continuous Jumping Jacks, and I do like to do this exercise, but this is just a bit too much for me. I have to say that the following day after doing this DVD that I was sore, so it obviously works well, but I just can't get myself to like this due to the moves that are repetitive. - posted by Cinde on 7/18/2012 |

| As good as the real workout |
| I used to do this class on the Brooklyn Bridge for a summer before I moved to San Francisco. I missed my workouts and that's why I bought the DVD. I must say that it is great to have this option available even when I can't do it with the great group of people that I used to work out with in the city. I find this to be just as intense as the workout on the bridge, if not tougher because of the high intensity cardio moves. I hope Ariane makes a DVD of her Slim & Strong class. It is the single best indoor workout I have ever taken and I have tried most of them out here on the West Coast. I was in the best shape of my life when I did that program. - posted by Alison on 7/3/2012 |

| sweatfest! |
| Great workout, love the simple, yet effective moves with a good, no nonsense instructor. Comes with two flat bands and a handy booklet showing all the moves. Well done. - posted by Elena on 6/30/2012 |

| Definitely Effective |
| I am an advanced exerciser and prefer to do interval training and concentrated weight work. I've used this DVD for two weeks and confirmed this morning I've lost 10 pounds. That's a lot and the body shock of doing intense aerobic activity with the occasional muscle toning is working. I have tender knees and use a mini-trampoline for the portions of jumping jacks, sumo squats and high knees. I think using the mini-trampoline for other users with bad knees is an excellent option, and I intend to try this with other DVDs requiring high impact. This workout is fun and the instructor is pleasant and encouraging. I recommend this highly and hope others give it a chance. I'd be very willing to purchase another boot camp DVD by this instructor if they produce it. - posted by Susan on 6/23/2012 |

| challenging |
| other reviewers mention how it is repetitive but you can make up your own if you don't want to do the jumping jacks or sumo squats. i did mountain climbers, squat thrusts and burpees along with the jumping moves and it worked me into a drenched mess. i also have a spinning bike and treadmill and sometimes hop on them to get my cardio in. you don't have to do the exact same cardio routine but you can use your brain and get creative. i have noticed a noticeable improvement in my glutes. they're strong and lifted and i do the butt moves on my own now with the wall squats. my arms also have a good muscle tone after about 6 sessions. i have measured my inches to track my progress as is suggested in the booklet and have lost 4 around my waist, 2 off my hips and 1 off each thigh. not too bad for a video! - posted by Hazel on 6/22/2012 |

| Great workout! |
| I've worked out for 20 yrs & feel like I've hit a plateau. I have done this tape about 9 times so far & really enjoy it-It is tough, but I feel like it's working. I'm trying to do it 3x/week-the other days I do Jari Love Ripped 1000. I like Arianne's style-hope she makes more videos. - posted by Cheryl on 6/22/2012 |
