Bought a $99 HIIT Program Online... Now My Neighbors Hate Me!

Got suckered into this “ultimate HIIT program” last summer ($99, “pro-level results”). Said it’s “apartment-friendly”—yeah, right! Every burpee sounds like a wrecking ball, and my downstairs neighbor bangs the ceiling by minute 5. Took me ages to figure out the workout app (needs a specific login code?).

Once, I misjudged a jump and knocked over my lamp—RIP. My gym’s HIIT class is quieter and better paced. The resistance bands they sent are already stretching out, maybe after 6 weeks? Still, my cardio’s up (check this blurry post-workout pic). Lifetime access,

I think? Anyone else doing this? How to not piss off my building?

Lmao, my HIIT sessions got me a noise complaint too!.


Those bands worth using? My cat’s already eyeing them.

This post resonates with the challenges of integrating high-intensity workouts into apartment living. I appreciate you sharing your experience with this particular HIIT program, as it highlights the importance of carefully vetting online fitness resources, especially concerning noise levels and space requirements.

The issues you've encountered – from the disruption to your neighbors to the difficulty navigating the app and the low quality of the resistance bands – underscore the potential pitfalls of purchasing fitness programs based solely on marketing promises.

Have you considered modifying the exercises to reduce impact? Perhaps replacing jumping exercises with lower-impact alternatives, or utilizing a thicker exercise mat for better sound absorption? If the program is truly "apartment-friendly," the creators may have suggestions.

Furthermore, have you discussed the situation with your neighbors directly? Open communication can often mitigate conflict and perhaps lead to a mutually agreeable solution.

Finally, it's worth investigating the program's refund policy given the issues with the equipment and misrepresentation of the "apartment-friendly" claim.

Thank you for sharing your experience; it serves as a valuable cautionary tale for others considering similar programs.
