I was contacted by a company called Fame Fitness Network. They emailed me and said they read my fitness reviews on my blog and said they would love to have me join their company to do product reviews. Wow! Really? Me?!?!?! Flattered I filled out the form to get started.
In order to start with them they ask I order a bottle of Forskolin Fit Pro and do a review. I google it and see a product review from Dr OZ stating how revolutionary this new found herb is to help eliminate fat all the while retaining and building your muscle. Sure, why not right?
I fill out the order form and low and behold I have to pay for shipping. Simple, easy, five bucks, okay. The form also stats that if I did not cancel my “subscription” before 15 calendar days from my free trial order’s confirmation email date I would be automatically enrolled in their auto ship program, however I may cancel at ANY time. Still I’m thinking, easy peasy. Sign on and away I go fully anticipating doing a great review and also getting more products to review from Fame Fitness Network.
Of course I receive my confirmation/celebratory email thanking me for my order.
Next I receive my shipping confirmation and that is when the red flags begin. Looking at the shipping dates I am informed that my product will arrive in 3-4 weeks. Hmmmmm, this will make it impossible for me to use my trial, test it and cancel my auto subscription. So I call them. Explaining that I would like to cancel (remember….cancel ANY time). They tell me that I have to cancel AND return the bottle within those 15 days in order to cancel. Also to note that the 30day bottle is only to see if your body will be compatible with the product, it is not a true reflection of how well the product will work for me, so I should really get more bottles so that it works like it’s supposed to.
This is ridiculous!!!!! I won’t even HAVE the bottle in 15 days. Sorry, was what they say, that’s the rules, BUT if you want to cancel right now, we will gladly ship you three more bottles for $99 or you can continue on the subscription program. After a few more emails and phone calls later I am purchasing the three bottles to get rid of the hassle I am having with Forskolin Fit Pro.
Now you are probably wondering, well, how did it go???? Did it work? Is it amazing despite the hassle? Simple answer….NO. I’ve used it and have noticed not one bit of difference. Eating a moderately clean diet with exercise this pill does nothing other then give me the shits every morning. No surprise really as things of this nature rarely do work. I knew this going in but had grander plans of reviewing other products for Fame Fitness Network and thought this would be a great door opener. I have contacted Fame Fitness Network to discuss my review to no avail, they have not emailed me back. Is this company just a front for Forskolin Fit Pro, I am not sure but in the future I will wait for companies that have a product for review to contact me directly with no hidden catches.
Moral of the story. Forskolin Fit Pro sucks, do not waste your money!
