Let me start off by saying DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! Now if that warning wasn’t enough, let me explain. Bombshells prides them selves on producing the largest number of pros a year. Do not let this fool you! Based on the number of members they have (members who are competitors, not just members looking to loose weight) compared to the number of pros they produce a year, you’d see that this is far from impressive. Next thing to know is that their diets are COOKIE CUTTER! It is beyond evident that the nutrition plans they send you are chosen from a data base of precomposed plans. They do not sit down and take into account every individual person and then make you a specific plan. Also, it is illegal to write nutrition plans for people unless you are a registered dietitian (an actual degree and then took a test to become registered) or if you are working under a registered dietician who checks over your plans. There is not a single coach with Bombshells that holds the title of registered dietitian. Next up is their workout plans. These workout plans are the biggest joke. Now majority of their coaches are certified person trainers which confuses me as to why their workout plans are such crap. It is clear though that the workout plans come from a precomposed data base just like the nutrition plans. I guess the coaches personal training certifications are just for show because it definitely isn’t used. Every workout they give you is cardio! And for some reason they have a fascination with making you sweat. To clarify those statements, the workouts are all cardio because everything is “Supersets” as they call it. Apparently they need a dictionary because a superset is when two different exercises are done together with no rest in between. When you put more than two exercises together in a set, it is not referred to as a superset. A giant set is the term used for three to four exercises being done in one set. There actually is no term that I know of for more than four exercises in one set (which they do have on their plans). Also, anyone who competes should know that consistency is key. Therefor, changing the exercises every week is not consistent. It is true that your body can get use to receptiveness but that takes a lot of repeating. Now everybody is different, but for my body, I know that if I do the same exercises for shoulder day every Tuesday for 1 month, I will get much better results than if I do different shoulder exercises for 1 month every Tuesday. Lifting heavy weights for me is very empowering. But because they have so many “Supersets” with so many reps (which is why it is basically cardio), you can’t go very heavy. So no empowerment here. You can’t even feel a burn in your muscles because all you can focus on is catching your breath. Again I repeat, CARDIO! Now to clarify the statement “for some reason they have a fascination with making you sweat.” I say this because they want you in a neoprene waist wrap during all activity and neoprene shorts. What this does is makes you sweat a lot in these areas. It’s like having plastic wrap around you. This pulls water from those areas. Now the only time I need to pull water is when I am about to walk on stage for a competition. There is no reason on Earth to do this any other time. First of all, you’re drinking gallon of water a day so this pulling water thing will only last a couple of hours. Secondly, aren’t you basically defeating the purpose of the gallon of water you are drinking? And lastly for the actual cardio they give you, it is a non stop circuit of exercises. Not HIIT (high intensity interval training). Just non stop from one exercise to the next.
Now if you still are considering working with Bombshells despite everything listed above I must give you a tip. DO NOT pay them in bulk. It is cheaper to pay for a whole year rather than month to month, but I promise you it isn’t wise. Once they send you "any proprietary products” as they call it, (which again is absolutely nothing special but is very laughable) you will never see your money again. I highly suggest that you pay month to month for the first couple of months to make sure that Bombshell’s is for you. Because if you pay that cheaper lump sum for a whole year and you end up feeling that Bombshells isn’t for you, or if you have any life changing circumstances arise, they will not issue you any sort of refund. This review is being written in January of 2016. The oilfield is at all time low and is doing terrible. I will not be able to compete this year because my husband lost his job (which happened after I signed with Bombshell’s and paid them in full for a year). I also had the special circumstance of having a difficult recovery form a breast augmentation that was done before joining Bombshell’s and long before my husband was laid off. Even with these circumstances, Bombshell’s gave no consideration to even a partial refund. I never asked for a full refund or even mentioned a number. Only asked that they do a partial refund and it would be their decision on how much. They absolutely refused even with this being stated in their policy, "At any time, and for any reason, we may provide a refund, discount, or any other form of credit. The amount and form of such credits, and the decision to provide them, are at sole discretion of Bombshell Fitness.” On my last note, they push to try and get more of your money by saying you need their products to succeed with them (their portion, their body shapers, their camps).
