She makes me want to buy things , i normally wouldn't be tempted by. She was selling the Fit Nation Rock n fit vibration machine , she stayed on it the whole presentation , she owns and uses hers daily. Her voice is so sincere , i think that makes her such a good host.

Re: That darn Mary Beth !!!

[ Edited ]

I like Mary Beth,but nothing she says or does makes me want to buy something I don't need or want.


I stopped making spur of the moment buying a part of my life.  Most of what QVC and other retailers sell is just stuff that will be clutter in a few months.

 

I often turn off the TV or get off the Internet or walk out of a store to curb my buying.  The next day, I am happy I resisted.

 

Of course, not everyone is like me.  Enjoy shopping if that is your thing.

In honesty i don't buy things on the spur of the moment , in fact i will watch TSV 's for 24 hours and still resist. i am having some health challenges and can't do what i normally do , and this looked like an option , i haven't bought it yet, i think it is a little over priced.  andI didn't buy any Laura Geller . i think my point was Mary Beth is not a hard seller host , and i think is kind of refreshing.

She is as hard sell as anyone, but uses different sales tactics. Is it safe to be on that shaking thing for an hour?

The first time I saw it, I wanted it but didn´t like the reviews. After reading @MW in Iowa  post, I checked it again and it hasn´t changed.

 

Also it says after your 30 day trial, you will be billed 19.99 a month. for advice? don´t know and you can cancel at anytime, if you remember. Are they kidding? The hardest thing to do is TRY to cancel a membership anywhere.

I shouldn't have said the whole hour , i didn't watch the whole presentation , so hopefully she was off and on , i think 10 minutes is the advised amount of time , at least starting out. But good point.

It reminded me in the worst way of that terrible machine from yesteryear that was at every gym, the one with the big white strap that went around your behind.... you turn it on and it shook you all over.  Turns out it didn't do a thing, but made you think that it did.....

I never buy anything without reading reviews , and you are right , they aren't that great. Like i said i rarely buy on impulse and this is no exception. Mary Beth has one of those voices , that you don't mind leaving the TV on for back ground as opposed to some that are like fingernails on a black board , and i have to turn the tv off.

But .... and see, the thing is ....

 

I don't have the patience to stay tuned when she's hosting.  There is something about her voice that bothers me.

@Sage04 I did not see the presentation but look at item F14319 Power Fit Elite Vibration Platform. It is priced at $186.96 with free shipping. If that is the same type product it gets good reviews.
