Editorial Review:
Veteran fitness expert Denise Austin's Personal Training System is one of several exercise programs designed to take advantage of a valuable feature of the DVD format: namely, the ability for viewers to customize their own workouts by picking and choosing from various elements presented in Austin's prescribed routines. These include sections devoted to cardio (available at low and high intensity levels, both about 20 minutes long), upper and lower body exercises (offered at low, medium, and high intensity, each about ten minutes long), and abdominal and stretching segments (the same for all levels, these also last about ten minutes). Meanwhile, the "custom workout" option enables users to combine any or all of these elements according to taste and fitness level. There's nothing especially innovative here--indeed, the cardio sections are pretty much old school, Jane Fonda Workout-style aerobics, while the upper and lower body sections include light weights, bends, lunges, push-ups and other tried-and-true elements--but those looking for a thorough, sweat-inducing regimen will certainly find it here. Austin's relentlessly effervescent style will no doubt prove inspiring to some and cloying to others. On the other hand, the entire program can be done without her audio instructions, and those who simply don't want to work out at all can occupy themselves with an accompanying booklet filled with diet pointers and recipes. --Sam Graham

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Maybe for beginners?
Tacky as she may be, I love Denise Austin. I love her enthusiasm, and I think she provides great products. The enthusiasm is still there on this DVD, but in my opinion, the workout itself doesn't deliver. Even the advanced levels are quite easy. I wouldn't even call the cardio segment a workout at all, it's incredibly easy. I'm used to getting a challenging workout from Denise, and this is not it. Maybe this would work for beginners, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for a decent workout.
Rating:  - Exercise with Denise Austin
This is a great exercise routine to do with Denise Austin. I liked it so much that I not only share it with a friend (leaving it at her house), but I got myself another copy to take with me to Shanghai, China where I am visiting my husband. While he is at work I do my exercises with Denise.
Rating: - Boring workout with grating voice
I really wanted it to have worked out for me, unfortunately it's way too boring for me and her voice really grated on me. If you want the result and a more fun workout DVD, try Kathy Smith - Functionally Fit - Peak Fat Burning instead. Hope this helps. I PUT THE WRONG STAR RATING. IT SHOULD BE A 1 STAR
Rating: - Flexibility is the key
This video has options for every type of exerciser, which makes it a must have for the person who doesn't want to get bored! I have had this video for years now and I still incorporate it into my DVD workout regimen, along with some others. I have lost 50 pounds using DVD's at home and counting calories. This is my favorite DVD!
Rating:  - Here's your chance!!! Blast away that fat!!
I love Denise Austin!!! If you work out with her you will definitely feel and become fit! She is the best on the market if you ask me. Her dedication to fitness is incredible and inspiring. I guess you can tell I'm a huge fan and have a wide variety of her VHS and DVD's This one is a favorite. I don't like the cardio much. Not easy to do in my living room and movement changes are awkward. I love the arms, legs and abs segments. Great for a quick work out before work. Overall this is a great workout ... Read More
