Try before you buy: Kineticflix!

So, I’ve been planning to try a Kineticflix membership for quite some time.  In fact, many, many months ago, the kind ladies who run Kineticflix contacted me through this site ( :shock: I know!) and offered to let me try out their service at a discounted rate for one month. I thanked them for the offer, and let them know I was certainly interested in a membership…eventually.

Fast forward months and months later, to this past summer. I was very excited about the release of a new workout system from Beachbody. You know, those folks behind ChaLEAN Extreme, P90X, Insanity, etc. I’ve always purchased past Beachbody systems used, long after the new workout hype has died down, sometimes years after their initial release. This time when this new system was available, I made my first ever brand new purchase from Beachbody and couldn’t wait to try it. And then, wah-waaah. So far I have not clicked with the new system, and while I plan to keep it and review it eventually, I certainly could have waited to buy this system used as well.  And I wished I had tried it before I bought it.

Enter Kineticflix! As I started to sign up for my membership, I remembered the offer from so long ago.  I found the email they sent me, and figured it couldn’t hurt to ask if they were still willing to offer the discount on the first month. They were happy to do so! Bonus, considering I was going to sign up anyway. ;-) Anyway…

What is Kineticflix?

From their website:

We are delighted to offer the best in hand-picked Dance, Fitness and Sports DVD inventories, all for rent in convenient monthly memberships.

If you’re a movement enthusiast, like we are, our rapidly expanding library is sure to excite you. We’re gathering the very best videos that we can find, paying special attention and priority to your requests. Never before have so many fitness, dance and sports videos been collected and offered for rent.

No more long searches for a particular DVD. And no needless expense of having to purchase it once you’ve found it. On the other hand, if you’re thinking of purchasing a DVD, you can check it out here first! There are no late fees. And there are no shipping costs.

Just choose your plan, browse hundreds of selections and create your DVD Request List. We’ll ship the first item on your list and it will arrive a few days later in your mailbox. Watch it at your leisure, as many times as you want. When you’re ready for the next selection, return the DVD in the prepaid package and we’ll ship your next selection.

So yeah, it’s very similar to those other rent-through-the-mail DVD programs.  The difference?  The awesomely diverse selection of workouts they carry! Kineticflix features lots of specialty and advanced workout DVDs – including many titles not available at retail stores. Some of the more unique offerings are treadmill workouts and spinning workouts (including Spinervals); as well as several choices for kettlebells, the BOSU, and even TRX! They are also very receptive to requests for new workouts, and actively watch member queues to see what they may need to purchase more copies of to meet demand.

I’m looking forward to trying out some workouts from several “systems” I’m interested in, and maybe venture out of my comfort zone and try some workouts I normally wouldn’t purchase.  Perhaps I’ll find a sleeper in the bunch! I’ll be back to update this review in a few months to give an overall impression of my experience with Kineticflix.

Disclaimer: I was offered a discounted rate for the first month of service from Kineticflix.com, and paid full price each month after that. I was not asked to give a review of any kind, and all opinions are my own.
