PiYo is the latest workout program from Beachbody celebrity trainer Chalene Johnson. I had the opportunity to be one of the PiYo workout test coaches, and had amazing results with the workout program, so I wanted to write a PiYo Review so you could understand exactly what your getting yourself into. So what comes with PiYo? How many workouts are included? What can you expect? Today we are going to dive deep into exactly what PiYo is all about.

What is PiYo

That's me taking the picture of Chalene Johnson doing her first live PiYo workout with the top Beachbody Coaches at Leadership Retreat in California. PiYo gets it's name from the combination of what it is, Pilates and Yoga. PiYo is a hybrid of the two. The cool thing about PiYo is that it is constant, and features the best moves from Pilates and Yoga to really get your heart going. Because of the fast paced combination of Pilates and Yogo, PiYo can help you burn fat quickly while at the same time increasing muscle tone, increasing strength, and dropping the pant sizes fast. I've heard PiYo described as a hyper version of Yoga, and it would totally be right. Most of the workouts you likely do all focus on form, getting the heart rate up, and power moves. PiYo focuses instead on your breathing, your balance, relaxation and mediation, as well as your form and strength. This will allow you to train injury free and take your level of fitness to a whole new level. The other thing is every time I've gone to Yoga, the music has been pretty dreadful. Not exactly my style. With PiYo, Chalene Johnson has mixed the most incredible music tracks I have ever come across in a workout program. When I heard the music for PiYo, I was an instant fan and had to write a review of the PiYo workout.

What Is Included In PiYo?

The PiYo Workout Review has to include what comes with the workout program! So let's dive right in. PiYo comes with 8 different workouts that you can do right at home. They are 25 to 45 minutes long, and vary in the target areas they hit. PiYo will be available to Beachbody Coaches exclusively at Coach Summit in Las Vegas for $59.85. It will also include one bonus workout DVD when you purchase PiYo from a Beachbody Coach.

What Workouts Come With PiYo?

PiYo comes with 8 workouts, plus one bonus workout when you order PiYo through a Beachbody Coach like myself. Let me walk you through each workout so you understand what to expect from PiYo.

PiYo Align: The Fundamentals

This is by far one of the easiest to follow workout systems because it starts with The Fundamentals. PiYo Align will show you all the moves you need to do throughout your PiYo workout journey, and show you how to execute the moves flawlessly. You will learn all the principles behind PiYo, Yoga, and Pilates, so you understand why each move is so important, and what you need to focus on as you go through the workouts. You will learn all the PiYo terminology, as well as the modifications you may need to do. The best part? Align is also a great workout!

PiYo Drench

PiYo Drench is a 45 minute workout that leaves you completely drenched and kicks your metabolism into high gear. It is divided into multiple sections so you truly get the most out of your workout. First you will go through a gradual warm-up and stretch, follower by a PiYo Power section that will get your heart racing, and then focus on your lower body to improve your balance, flexibility, and muscle endurance.

PiYo Buns

PiYo Buns is a bonus workout that is only included when you buy the workout from a Beachbody Coach like me! It is only 25 minutes in length, so you can definitely get through this workout.It is a high calorie burning workout that focuses specifically on burning fat and toning your ass. This PiYo workout will certainly get your bum in the best looking shape of it's life. PiYo Buns will lift and redefine your entire backside.

PiYo Strength Intervals

If you are looking for a non-stop interval training workout, you found it with PiYo Strength Intervals. This 25 minute workout uses no weights and no equipment to get you strong with no bulk. You will alternate between intervals of body weight resistance exercises, and heart-rate elevating movements designed for athletes. This workout will give you that long, lean muscle look everyone is looking for.

PiYo Sculpt

Want to gain muscular endurance? This 30 minute workout uses various tempos to keep your muscles under tension for long periods of time in order to use your body weight effectively to totally transform you body. Sculpt will make you a true athlete.

PiYo Define: Lower Body

PiYo Define: Lower Body will tone and shape your hamstrings, quads, gluts and calves gently, to help you get lean and sleek legs. If you want sleek and lean legs, this is the workout for you!

PiYo Define: Upper Body

Who said you couldn't get an incredible physic with PiYo? PiYo Define Upper Body will give you the chest you've always wanted, the shoulders people stare at, and the arms that look strong. This upper body workout is 35 minutes long, and will leave you sore and knowing that you pushed yourself to the limit.

PiYo Core

Your core is the most important part of your body. PiYo Core focus on your bodies powerhouse from every angle. You don't need to hurt you back to build strong, long, sexy abs. PiYo Core will not only make your abs look incredible, but will also help you gain incredible back strength. In just 30 minutes, your core will be ready for war.

PiYo Sweat

This is one of my favorite workouts. PiYo Sweat will have you completely soaked from head to toe in sweat. In this 35 minutes workout, Chalene Johnson combines dynamic conditioning, body weight resistance training, yoga flows, powerful athletic movements, and core work all into one power packed 35 minutes workout. You will never again think Yoga is for the weak after completing PiYo Sweat.

How Can I Get The PiYo Challenge Pack?

The PiYo Workout Beachbody Challenge Pack will go on sale for $140 (yes, that is not a misprint and include Shakeology) and include: 8 Workout programs plus one exclusive Team Beachbody Workout, Quick Start Guide, Workout Calendar, Get Lean Eating Plan, Tape Measure, and of course a one month supply of Shakeology. The Challenge Packs will sell out, so make sure you add me on Facebook or fill in the form below if you have more questions. PiYo will also include an incredible modifier in every workout so that even beginners can do a PiYo workout and get great results. Many of the coaches on my team are already PiYo Certified Instructors, so they can help you get the best results from PiYo when it become available.

Who is PiYo For?

PiYo is really designed for anyone that wants to improve their flexibility, breathing, posture, and strength. No matter who you are, you could be a professional athlete or someone looking to drop 100 pounds, PiYo will get you there. I will say, that because it is a low-impact workout, it is especially good for people that are getting older in age and still want to look amazing, but don't want to risk injury or damaging their joints. But just to be clear, that doesn't mean that a 22 year old in the best shape of his life couldn't try PiYo and be completely exhausted after an intense workout.

What Results Can I Expect from PiYo?

PiYo will give you incredible results. How do I know this? I'm doing PiYo right now. In just two weeks I lost 12 pounds and lost inches from my waist! After 60 days, I lost 22 pounds and lost 16 inches around my stomach and other trouble spots.

The results were from following the PiYo meal plan and food guide, in combination with all the PiYo workouts. If you've always wanted to get a lean, muscular look, PiYo is for you!

The PiYo Schedule

Looking for the PiYo workout schedule? PiYo is a 60 day workout program that combines 8 different workouts to target all the areas of your body. The official PiYo schedule is below so you can decide if it is something you want to try. Personally, I believe this is one of the best workout schedules ever created. You are allowed to pick any day off! In the generic recommened beachbody workout plan, Friday's are the rest day with PiYo.

The first month PiYo workout schedule is listed below. Things get started right with PiYo Align. Align will make sure you now exactly how to do all the movements that are utalized throughout the PiYo workout program. You can also download the PiYo Workout Schedule PDF here.

The PiYo Training has now completed, and we are excited to have a new round of PiYo Training opportunities coming up in the next few months. If you are interested in PiYo, I recommend you head over to our PiYo Workout Review so you can learn everything you need to know about PiYo.

Apply to Join The Exclusive PiYo Beachbody Challenge

In order to help me select the first round of people to join my PiYo Beachbody Challenge, please add me on facebook here, then fill in the form below. Only those that answer all the questions and explain their true reason and WHY they want to get in the best shape of their lives with PiYo will be accepted into this PiYo Beachbody Challenge Group.

Why are you so excited to introduce PiYo?

PiYo is a proven program that has been so effective in gyms around the world. I’m super excited to bring it to DVD because it’s the program that will shape, strengthen and heal people’s bodies.

Sounds incredible. Who is the ideal PiYo customer, then?

PiYo is for anyone who wants a workout that will help them work on flexibility, cardio and strength—at the same time.

What inspired you to create PiYo?

Whenever I create a fitness program I start with a need. I was doing yoga, but I still felt like I needed to stretch certain areas, do more cardio, and lift more weights. So, I started to think, “How can I get more flexible and develop strength and cardio?” 

What are the main things you need to know about PiYo?

Studies show that a more flexible muscle has greater strength potential which leads to better results. The training you get during PiYo allows you to burn incredible amounts of calories that you wouldn’t in a static type workout.

Did you develop PiYo in response to anything you struggled with personally in your own training?

Totally! I always found I would finish and feel like I didn’t really stretch certain areas. I felt so tight and I’m a fitness professional, it was embarrassing. So when I was developing PiYo I asked my students to show me the one muscle that was the tightest. When people did that I saw five different stretches. It made me realize the important of focusing on flexibility needs so my students could be better at running, etc. I wanted to make PiYo really functional and forget the traditional rules of stretching.

What types of results can people expect to see from PiYo?

My goal is to make everything easier for you. I want you to trust that you can use your own body weight to make yourself stronger. The transformation people will see is amazing.

For example, I have a letter from a lady who said, “Since I started PiYo six months ago, I have broken every single personal marathon pace and I’m astonishingly faster than I ever dreamed possible. I broke the four-hour mark for my marathon time and I know it’s because of Piyo. Plus, normally I’m spent for a week after a marathon, but the next day I felt great!

Would you say PiYo is accessible for all fitness levels?

Yes! PiYo is truly accessible for everyone from the brand spanking new, to the super tight, but super fit. We did some cool things with camera angles so it is very clear how to do each move.

You always have such good playlists. Do you have favorite songs for your PiYo workouts?

When I do PiYo I like moody, cool indie music. I love Marine and the Diamonds, Lady Gaga, even old school like Marvin Gaye –  anything that gives me a sexy, cool, soulful mood. The music in PiYo is really important because if the right song is playing it tells you how to move and flow.

Do you have a favorite move or workout from PiYo?

It’s not a move or workout, but Beachbody granted me my wish. I had an idea to incorporate a piece of equipment that we don’t currently have in our catalog. I’m absolutely in love with it and all the workouts that feature this equipment are my favorite. It’s going to blow peoples’ minds and it’s killing me not to tell you what it is. But more details to come soon…

At the S.S. Beachbody Cruise, Beachbody officially unveiled PiYo, Chalene Johnson’s new workout! As an Elite Beachbody Coach, I received an exclusive copy of PiYo Sweat to try out before everyone else!

PiYo Sweat was designed to get your blood moving and heart racing. We just finished the workout and I have to say, it is one of the most intense forms of Yoga and Pilates I have ever done.

Let me answer some of the pressing questions around PiYo right away before I go into detail on the PiYo Sweat workout. Yes PiYo will be one of the most incredible workouts to come from Beachbody and Chalene Johnson. Yes PiYo will get incredible results. Yes PiYo takes the best of Yoga and Pilates to create the ultimate workout for strength., flexibility, and endurance.

How Does PiYo Sweat Work?

PiYo Sweat really gets you going and sweating. It's based on a series of Pilates and Yoga moves done in rapid succession to get your heart rate going, and your body sweating. It is a 32 minute workout with a 5 minute warm-up so total time you need is 37 minutes. One of the things I love the most about all of Chalene’s workouts is that she actually does the ENTIRE workout. You won’t see her stopping at all. PiYo Sweat is no different as Chalene effortlessly talks to you and explains everything you are doing. This is really her gift. She explains exactly what she doing so you don't have to even look up to the TV that much as you do the workout.

PiYo Heat is what kicks things off after the Warm-Up, followed by Lower Body for 11 minutes. With Lower Body PiYo you can use a chair if you need help with some balance. Plank and Core PiYo follows for 6 minutes. I loved the PiYo push-ups!

At about 8 minutes and 30 seconds left in the workout, Chalene Johnson starts the PiYo Power section of the workout that really gets you going. Some light jumping and high impact moves make it's way into the workout that can really help you take things to the next level. Think a mixture of Pilates, Yoga, and some burpees. The positive affirmations just keep coming from Chalene that really makes the program enjoyable. “Your so awesome! Nice job! You can do anything!”

The last 5 minutes and 30 seconds of the workout are all about stretching and strength. The corner stone of PiYo. Strength, core, cardio.

PiYo Sweat has a great modifier in the program so if you are finding some of the movements challenging, you can follow the modifier. There are three others doing the workout alongside Chalene Johnson in PiYo Sweat.

If you would like to e the first to get PiYo and be a part of my PiYo Beachbody Challenge Test Group starting in July, please let me know so we can get you ready for Chalene Johnson’s new workout, PiYo!

PiYo is coming in June 19th, 2014.

Can I See PiYo In Action?

Here is the cool down phase of PiYo. During this PiYo review at Leadership, I was lucky enough to watch Chalene show us the PiYo Workout. I loved the entire workout but it was so fast paced, I didn't want to stop to shoot some video! This is the cool down so you can get a feel for the moves. PiYo really is a cool combination of Pilates and Yoga. Turbo Yoga if you will. And the PiYo Workout Schedule is going to keep you guessing, and sweating the entire time.

What is PiYo?

I was one of the first Beachbody Coaches to try Chalene Johnson's PiYo Workout in September 2013. It was amazing and incredible! If you are like me, I personally know Yoga and Pilates are great for me, but I need more music. I need it to be lively and exciting! That is what PiYo is all about. You don't need weights, you don't need to jump ever, you simply use your body to create low-impact movements that will change your body forever.

What Results Can I Get With PiYo

The results you will get with PiYo training will do nothing short but blow your mind. The problem areas that you've always wanted to target will become a thing of the past. You want abs? No problem this is the workout for you. You want long, incredible legs? No problem with PiYo. Want that killer butt that everyone wants? Chalene Johnson PiYo will get you those incredible results.
