When I checked out the website after a quick Google search, I couldn’t help but play the Rushfit video. Between the flashy music, the slow motion kicks, and the grunting man
with dumbbells over his head, I thought the George St. Pierre Workout was being a bit pushy and overdressed for the occassion. However, i heard good things from people around me in the fitness industry and so i made a big effort to see it through. Of course, I could lose some weight, the program wasn’t all that expensive, and Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is pretty hot right now so, I agreed. I also took it one step further, and decided to write a review for you guys when the eight-week program was over. Here goes nothing.
After The First Few 45 Min Training Sessions…
Wow, was I sore after the first three days. This program is not for the faint of heart. The basic strategy of the program is to use the MMA workout’s intensity to be the propelling force for an extremely fast program. Usually, programs will require you to go for six months or longer. The George St. Pierre Workout, called “Rushfit,” only lasts for two months, and that’s it. Also, their only requirement is that you give 45 minutes a day and buy a pair of dumbbells. Really? Is that it?
Strangely Impressed
I began to notice, after my body had stopped feeling sore, that I was losing fat. The interesting thing is that I wasn’t actually losing a whole lot of weight. The George St. Pierre workout does not promise weight loss, but it promises that you will become fit within eight weeks. This means that by the end of the program, you will have built an extremely large amount of muscle. Also, he uses MMA-style fighting practices in his workouts, which means that you can also take away proper MMA moves from the program. With this, you’re both learning basic fighting practices and getting fit. I’m failing to see a downside to this deal… yet.
Other Reviews?
Another quick search will reveal reviews of hundreds of other Rushfit customers. Now keep in mind, this program is not for everyone. Some folks want the easy road that will make them fit in 1 year. Since this is not a program that does that, a few complained that the workout was too intense. The ones who stuck with it recorded extreme results in terms of timing and fitness by the eighth week.
The Bad
The downsides to GSP Rushfit are that it could be too intense, for some, but then the saying “No pain, no gain” would not be true. You just have to remember if it was easy everyone would have a physique like George St Pierre. If you havent done any exercise for a long period than you will need to consult your doctor before performing intense exercise like this. You will need a little more room for performing some of the exercises but this can be got round, by watching the exercise all the way through, then pausing it to execute it, in a larger space, such as your garden or garage. I had to move the drinks table and rug in my living room everytime but then every other fitness DVD i have come across encounters the same problem. No biggy. Apart from these two things, the exercises are fun and very different from your conventional workout program.
If You Were to Buy Then…
Your best bet is to go right to the Rushfit website. If you want to buy the authentic George St. Pierre Workout, then the cost is a pretty competitive fee of $89.97. Compare that cost to other programs in it’s class and you’ll understand what I mean when I say, “This program is good value!” Also, if the ninety bucks will dent the budget too badly, they also offer three payments of $29.99. Again, it’s, a good deal.
Another thing to note, is that GSP Rushfit only accepts orders from these countries:
United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland Australia, New Zealand, France, Germany, Mexico, Norway, South Africa
Was I Happy?
Yes. I couldn’t believe the way I looked and felt by the eighth week of the George St. Pierre Workout. I wasn’t exactly an unfit guy to start with. Also, because I learned quite a few MMA tips and tricks, I don’t worry about defending myself either, haha. At the end of the day, my only cost was 45 minutes per day, dumbbells, and the Rushfit program, which ran me less than $120.00 total. And I bought quality dumbbells! You might think that this is expensive for a set of DVDs but it’s cheaper than a gym membership or buying gym equipment for your home and i think this will actually help a lot of people achieve weight loss and muscle as long as they commit. Now for a DVD workout that’s saying something.
Thanks for reading, all in all a great workout program. The best thing about it is definately the ‘Fun Factor’ by following George St Pierre, perform some MMA training moves.
Hope You Enjoy it as much as i have

I have just started doing martial arts at my local gym. I would like to take it a bit further now I am beginning to get stronger. Will the GSP Rushfit training program help me to build my core strength which is what I am lacking?
Hey Georgie
thanks for reading! The GSP Rushfit Program incompasses 6 DVD’s each with a different set of workouts to tackle different aspects of fitness. One of them is actually called ‘Abdonimal Strength and Core Conditioning’. I am going to guess your hitting your core muscles, even if it’s just a little bit, going to your mma gym clases, but if you want more, than george st pierre is a pretty good mentor and it has challenging exercises for the core. hope this helps
I have not seen this advertised or anything so this is the first I have heard about it. I will have to do some research into it though because I am always looking for an exercise that will help me lose fat and GSP is not only an awesome fighter but he is an awesome person in the MMA realm. I would say any workout from him would be well worth the money.
Im glad i have shown you something you might not of otherwise of seen. Check out my own rushfit review here.
Well I’d not seen this before so I had to check it out online before I could say anything about it. It looks like to me it is an extreme workout and it would really work. Is it a 5 day a week work out with a bonus one if you feel like it? A lot of the exercises I have seen before but not put together like this. I can’t wait to try it.
Yeah i would defiantely put it in the extreme/intense workout category as well Alfonso but then again you can start with the easier workouts to begin with. I dont think you should be trapped into thinking you have to do 5 workouts a week with this program or any program for that matter, for starters you will ache like hell for the first couple of workouts
so just take a day to rest here and there then pick it up again from where you left of. There are bonus exercises if you really want to feel the burn! Enjoy the Workouts !
I didn’t even know that GSP had made an exercise video routine,I have not seen this advertised or anything so this is the first I have heard about it. I am always looking for an exercise routine that will help me lose fat and GSP is probably the leanest most lethal fighter in the MMA right now, so I don’t see how training with him would be a bad idea.
Exactly my thoughts!
It looks like to me it is an extreme workout and it would really work. A lot of the exercises I have seen before but not put together like this. I love George St. Pierre and I would kill for a female version of his body so I can’t wait to give this a try. The only place I can get this right now is on the web site right?
Yeah the best place to go is to the official website, here’s a link to the official Rushfit website
I thought your blog was going to tell us what a fraud this work out was. I should have known better though because if GSP is panting when the workout is over it is definitely going to kick my butt. I like the idea that you can actually learn some fight move from him and hopefully defend yourself when the time comes as well as get fit.
Cheers dude for your istighnful review! My training partner at salford mma just told me about this workout and he really rates it. I’m gonna get a copy asap and work it into my current routine. Alex
