There’s something for everyone
At the start of her journey into the world of Pamela Reif, O’Connor explains how there's everything from beginner-friendly workouts to hardcore fat-burning classes available. O’Connor opted for the classic 45-minute sessions.
‘I just did the 45 minutes as I’m not looking to burn fat. I did some of her dance ones in general but it’s more just about staying fit for me, so that was the one that I picked,’ she says. So, there’s options for every ability. A solid start.
The pros
Pamela Reif’s teaching style. ‘She’s super inviting and beginner friendly, anyone can do it with the modifications,’ O’Connor says.
The workouts can be done wherever, whenever. O’Connor explains how ‘you can follow them individually or you can follow her plan, so you can have that flexibility if you’re someone who just wants to pop one on here and there.’
Pamela Reif’s relatability. ‘There are a few videos where she keeps her bloopers in. She’s honest about things on her social media like bloating, her bad days, when she wants to work out, when she doesn’t,’ O’Connor says, adding, ‘she’s relatable and goals all in one.’
Pamela Reif’s responsiveness. ‘It’s so nice, she’s genuinely always there in her DMs and that is so rare I feel in this day and age.’ We feel ya, Keltie.
The cons
One con from O’Connor is more of an observation than a con: the workouts aren’t personalised. As a result, they won’t be as effective as a plan that’s customised to your body, but that’s only to be expected from a free at-home workout, right?
Conclusion
O’Connor raps up the video by talking about the most important thing she learnt from the experience: finding a trainer you like to work out with. ‘Find someone you enjoy. If you want a community, Chloe Ting’s community is to die for. Madfit’s videos are fun and have a playfulness that I really enjoyed.’ As for Pamela, ‘You get to talk to her the most,’ says O’Connor.
‘It comes down to which program you like most – the music, the moves, the personality of the person you’re following and that’s going to make you keep coming back to it, or, try it for a month, get sick of it, try another person. It’s free – try them all.’ We concur.
