Bundled with a pair of Rip 60 straps, eight workout DVDs, four bonus DVDs, a 60-day nutrition guide, a wall chart, and a travel bag, the Rip 60 system comes with everything you need to build and tone muscles and improve your fitness.



The Rip:60 straps use gravity and your bodyweight to transform your body.
The Rip 60 system is designed to put your body in the proper position that will get you the best results. Research has shown that as we age, we lose some muscle movement. The Rip 60 reverses this trend by re-introducing you to old movements and teaching you new ones, training your body to use its muscles again. The system starts with the pair of Rip 60 straps, which use gravity and your bodyweight in a calibrated regimen. Made of aircraft-grade aluminum and heavy-duty nylon, the straps--which support up to 600 pounds--hook securely to any door, fence, tree, or playground bar. The next step is to follow the scientifically designed eight-week progression of movements, each week illustrated in a single DVD. Weeks one through four focus on strength, teaching you the right moves to increase your strength and endurance. Weeks five through eight target your overall power, with moves that maximize muscle activation.

The first DVD, titled Wake Up Your Body, prepares you for the upcoming workouts. DVDs two and three amp up the intensity, with a Hyper Burn workout that focuses on stability and endurance and a Turn and Burn workout that introduces longer sets for added stamina. During week four, you'll Recharge using yoga and tai chi.



The system comes with four bonus DVDs, including a workout run by MMA fighter Georges St. Pierre.

Week five helps you Built It Up--the beginning of the muscle growth phase. You'll be introduced to heavier weights to prepare your body for more power. During week six's Power and Strength, you'll start focusing on power moves, bringing in faster movements and more reps. In Pedal to the Metal, you'll use the moves from week six and integrated them into longer reps still. Finally, you'll bring it all together in The Peak, the week-eight workout that combines the strength, power, and endurance you've gained and evaluates it against a timed assessment.

The Rip 60 also includes four bonus DVDs. In Jillian Michaels Workout DVD, you'll learn to lose weight with America's Toughest Trainer, who runs you through a complete total-body workout. The Georges St. Pierre Workout DVD teaches you the signature moves of an MMA fighter, creating extreme muscle explosion and unbelievable results. The Power Yoga Workout DVD is all about lengthening and strengthening, teaching you a number of moves to improve your overall balance and physical well-being. The DVD helps you recover after your eight-week body transformation. The final Runners Workout DVD boosts your running training by strengthening your stabilizer muscles.

In addition to the straps and workout DVDs, the Rip 60 system comes with a 60-day nutrition guide full of delicious, healthy, easy-to-prepare recipes that go hand-in-hand with your workout plan. To improve your form, you can turn to the included wall chart exercise guide, which provides step-by-step instructions on specific exercises. Finishing off the system is a nylon travel bag, which holds the entire Rip 60 system in an easy-to-carry design.


  • Complete home workout system designed to get you ripped in 60 days
  • Includes pair of workout straps, 8 workout DVDs, and 4 bonus DVDs

4.0 out of 5 stars Rip 60 Fitness System - A 6 Part Review, May 8, 2011
By 
This review is from: Rip 60 Fitness DVD & Suspension Trainer Set (Sports)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?)

Jillian Michaels Rip 60 Fitness DVD Set is clearly a new product. Jillian Michaels isn't the primary trainer; Jeremy Strom kicks off the workouts. I had been considering the P90X Extreme Home Fitness Workout Program as a system to help me get back into shape after many years of infrequent exercise (and a few health problems). This program clearly is made to compete against P90X, and it offers some interesting benefits at a better cost. I jumped at the chance to try this, but you should know that the trainer on the pre-release DVDs was not Jillian.

No matter. This program is very well designed. I have done my fair share of programs and I can honestly say, that while I do... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow!!! Amazing workouts and natural human movements that machines cant do., July 11, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Rip 60 Fitness DVD & Suspension Trainer Set (Sports)
If you're like me and use a lot of gym equipment, it will probably be hard for you to understand that the only thing you need is this rip 60 to get in shape and ripped. It is really convenient to not have to carry weights or balls around to train clients. All you need is to watch the videos and learn how to do the workouts. I strongly recommend you follow the videos; it's an 8 week program that will kick your butt. I have never workout on a suspension trainer; this is the new science of working out. Every time you are on it, you are working out your core. That means some amazing "8 Pack abs" better posture and less back pain for you who have pain. I read a lot of reviews and they are negative. But with a system this convenient and that works you cannot go wrong with buying it. It is way better than the TRX, because it has rotation and that makes it work your core more to be stable. Rip 60 comes with 12 videos and a diet plan. Also the rip 60 is about $80 cheaper, but it beats the TRX... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Rip: 60 Two Weeks In, July 15, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Rip 60 Fitness DVD & Suspension Trainer Set (Sports)
Just completed week 2 of Rip:60 program. I have completed both P90X and Insanity a couple of times and wanted something different. Rip:60 is different. Rip: 60 is a little bit of both programs you get some cardio (Insanity) and Resistance (P90X). I decided to add 15 - 20 miles a week of running for extra cardio.

PROS: Workouts are short approximately 1 hour, the pace of DVDs is great it doesn't feel like an hour. The warm-up (14 mins) and cool-down (9 mins) sections of the workout are the best I have seen on DVDs the straps give you extra reach of motion on your stretches and exercise moves which I like. Intensity of workouts on a scale of 1 to 10 is 6-8 depending on which exercise you are doing, which is why you can repeat them up to 5 times a week; Changing effort level is easy, simply adjust your lean angle up or down; No matter which major muscle you are working with the straps stabilizing muscles are recruited because of the lean angles this is amplified with the...

3.0 out of 5 stars Good product concept, but has design flaw., June 17, 2007
By 
J. Peters (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The hurricane is basically a holder for an older product called a "Hit-N-Stick". It also provides visual feedback on how hard the bat hits the target. The problem with my unit is that the power bands (bungee cords) that provide resistance, tangle with the height adjustment knob on almost every swing. The knob can be positioned so that tangles don't occur, but the knob drifts with each swing. So after a just few swings, the tangles start again.

I contacted SKLZ customer support by email (customerservice@properformancesports.com) a week ago. So far, no response.

The thing is usable but I am considering returning it. I wouldn't recommend purchasing until the flaw is addressed. The fact that customer service ignored me is also a big red flag.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for Timing and Power, May 23, 2007
This review is from: Derek Jeter Hurricane Batting Trainer (Sports)
Comparing this to the soft toss machine I used to use, I find this is much better for timing, and helping improve your swing. If you don't have a level swing, and hit the tee arm at the ideal spot, it will wobble instead of swing. Its a great training aid for those looking to improve their swing, without chasing balls.

4.0 out of 5 stars A batting machine that works, April 29, 2008
This review is from: Derek Jeter Hurricane Batting Trainer (Sports)
Finally, a simple to use batting trainer tool. The trainer is very easy to assemble and disassemble as needed. My son has used the batting trainer in the driveway and the backyard using weights to hold the machine in place or supplied ground pegs.

The batting machine provides immediate feedback as to hitting mechanics. Better swings result in more dramatic revolution of the ball rod. A home plate is also included so one can work on inside and outside parts of the plate.

The instructions that came with the unit left a bit to be desired but it was fairly easy to assemble looking at a picture of the assembled unit on the box. The three tension bungee cords ensure that the unit does not get tangled up. In fact it has never gotten tangeled--I certainly could not say that for the hit-a-way that I used to string up to a pole.

The weight of the unit is both a plus and a minus. A plus in that it is a very sturdy unit that does not move if properly... Read more
