I discovered the Buti workout three weeks ago and have been trying out the sample video twice a week to see how my body feels. So far I feel great, I’m in pain, but good pain. On the days I try it I have soo much energy later that day its so freaky! It does put a smile on my face — its weird, I love it and it makes me feel amazing. I feel my body changing slightly – I hope it helps in my weight loss and toning! I think if I stick with it I would become an instructor. And I am ready to subscribe to the online classes! I eat healthy and I love to work out, but I need to drop 10 pds. Has anyone lost weight with it? And what about toning – has it worked for you?

I read about Buti in Self. I have done a few online workouts, and I am in love. In order not to sweat during a Buti workout, you would have to be lacking a pulse. To write such an unfair, one-sided review, you would have to be lacking a heart.
The whole concept of Buti is inspiring. The moves are freeing. I feel every muscle in my body, I feel beautiful, I feel alive.
This review is ridiculous.

I’m a relatively fit but sort of bookish, multilingual, nerdy woman who usually retches at the thought of “fad” workouts and usually prefer hikes and runs with my dog or Afro-Haitian dance classes to gyms, but after starting BUTI online this week I am hooked. What noone else has mentioned is my favorite aspect of the workout; the music. I am a huge fan of hip hop, and working out to music I love is an awesome experience. I can’t stand gym techno or yogaish world music, which is why maintaining a class-based yoga practice has been difficult for me, but I love BUTI. I look forward to taking a studio-based class when time and money permit, but until then, I’ll be shaking it like a polaroid picture in my bedroom to BUTI.:)

This is not for the weak, this class makes you WORK! Intense and fun! I am a seasoned distance runner and find myself dripping in sweat 10 minutes into class. Bizzie is serious about body mechanics and her moves work muscles that are often left forgotten. Trust me, you will feel every muscle in your core the day after a Buti workout. And yes, this class is fully charged with feminine energy; you’ll find your waistband AND your libido.

I took Bizzie’s class while I was in LA a few months ago. It was the greatest Yoga experience I have ever had. Yoga is not for everyone and what Bizzie has done to create a user friendly experience for those who cant sit still in a pose for so long like myself, I think is genius. I am also a full figured woman and all the moves and grooves were perfect for me. If I could do it, anyone could! I highly disagree with this review, although I understand to each his own. However, to say “skip this” is absurd!!! Its more like TRY THIS!!!! If you like it, you do and I guarantee that like with become LOVE really really soon! Bizzie. thank you for your creativitiy to bring many worlds of cardio, fitness, strength, flexibilty and movement to us. See you when I get back from Africa!

I’d like to see what kind of shape this reviewer was in, seeing as her heart rate didn’t go up! I have never seen someone NOT sweat in a BUTI class. I have been doing BUTI for months, and not only have I gotten in better shape, my endurance level is on another level, and I’m in the process of becoming a BUTI instructor to boot! As for teachers not walking around enough, etc., BUTI is the kind of workout that the instructor can’t necessarily stop during, since it’s very high-intensity and flows into different moves… That’s what makes it fun! You shouldn’t tell people to “Skip It” just because you can’t keep up! :)

hey, I went to a public library the other day in overalls covered in breastmilk and babyvomit, and a middle aged man looked at me wide eyed and said, “Youre looking DELICIOUS today.” should I now temper my existence to avoid men who think I’m attractive? uh, no, because it’s NOT POSSIBLE- no matter what you wear. bizzie and her butisattvas are beautiful and magnetic because they project confidence and power. because that’s what BUTI does- it frees women from insecurities and forces them to come to terms with their own huge, amazing power.

I tried BUTI for the first time yesterday after reading about it in SHAPE magazine… First of all, the fact that SHAPE felt good enough about the workout to dedicate space in their magazine pretty much negates a negative article on a blog I’d never even heard about until today.

Secondly, every personal trainer on the planet will tell you that in order to make permanent, lasting changes to your weight, you must find an activity you enjoy doing. Who cares if it’s running, yoga, cycling or doing bump and grind moves in warrior 1 while wearing a “string bikini?”

I made it through 25 minutes of BUTI before I had to take a breather. I found it to be very challenging, but I was having a blast, and that’s far more important to me.

I get that the world need reviewers to spare us from wasting our money, but I’m just not sure why we need them to dictate to us what a person’s definition of fun is when it comes to exercise.

I’m disappointed that the tone of this article wasn’t neutral — it was a critical attack right from the start.

I attended the class that the editor is referring to. If you are the person that I am thinking of, I am sure that I was Drenced in sweat and you were struggling to keep up with Bizzie. I am completely appalled thatWe’re playing that game now, huh? you are even in any type of position to evaluate the Fitness stance of others, without first evaluating yourself. You need to open your mind and attempt to become a journalist who can be objective instead of spiteful because of your own shortcomings.
