I received little value from this $400 program. What’s more, they denied my refund. Just use the low back ability method for free.

I wish I could share zero stars. This company is proud that they will offer a 1 month refund and no more. The fact is, just as others have said above... you do not get downloads until you have completed the program which takes hundreds of dollars over time. You pay $99 a month just to learn simple ideas about slow reverse planks and core engagement. Not rocket science here. Further you can't see any days ahead except the days you have unlocked and before....basically preventing you from learning the program until you check in and unlock. Oh wait, and you camt unlock the next days until you have passed a day. The control of this is manipulating as you look forward to getting your next learning session, but if you miss it for any reason... you get behind. That seems no problem until you realize they charge you again in the meantime for being a member, even if you cant unlock the entire first months worth of material you already paid for. 2 months in and if you weren't able to do it everyday, you dont get your money's worth. God forbid, like me, you are stupid enough to think you'll catch up. No because you are already behind. The lock out feature prevents you from moving any further until time has passed. This is what I call a real scam. How can you have a membership for a product that you have locks on?? Either give a months worth or dont, but dont take money for information that hasn't been disseminated!

I completely agree w the next lower One Star, you pay $99.00 for one month of info and you can't keep the videos you have purchased until you finish the entire program at a cost of at least $1000 Save yourself $100 bucks buy a book on amazon...how to strength your inner core
Great course but ultimately a rip off as customers are NOT allowed to view the videos they have paid for after canceling. I understand that by cancelling I forfeit the mentoring features. But to block the videos I have previously viewed and PAID for? One word for that: shady.
Saw their FB ads claiming permanent cure for back pain. Asked several times in a civil manner if they could cite any research supporting that claim. The only response I got was to be blocked! Core exercises are readily available without having to subscribe to anything. Appears their main purpose is to sell subscriptions by making non evidence based claims. Read your response. Appears to be a canned response and that you didn't read my review very well as I stated that I commented on FB asking for supporting research and was blocked on FB as a result. You can't locate my comments? That's what happens when you block someone. When I search for you on FB, I get a page not available, which is because you blocked me. And the comments I made have disappeared from my activity profile, which is what happens when someone blocks you. Enough of this, how about simply referencing credible research to back up your claims of a "permanent cure"? And how your subscription program is better than freely available core exercises? So you have some anecdotes. That is not credible evidence to support claims of a "permanent cure". I note that the review from Serbia states: "...It was concluded that exercise on the stability of the pelvic nucleus and muscles is recommended as the simplest and most favorable prevention of lower back pain and lumbar lordosis. The stability of the nucleus helps to overcome the main causes and deprive the body of functional disorders and pain..." It appears there is nothing in there that is unique to your method. Charging people $99 a month for just online instruction is pretty pricey, particularly when core exercises are freely available from many sources e.g., the Mayo Clinic. Links aren't allowed here but searching Mayo Clinic core exercises will bring it up. Or going to a PT for in person instruction that doesn't have to be ongoing once a person learns what to do. I suggest removing extravagant claims based on anecdotes from your ads.
EDIT: Because this is a negative review they tried to get it taken down as "fake." Trustpilot reached out and i presented the credit card data to prove experience. Do not trust Core Balance Training. They have done this before with facebook ads where they disable comments when people call out poor experiences. They slow down the program to an absolute crawl and tell you its because you should focus on small things. You get one 5 minute video per day and sometimes the day is "just review what you have done today" and nothing new. but really its to keep you paying for the program. As soon as you cancel you lose all access to what you paid for. The "money back guarantee" is actually not accurate as they take 17% as a "credit card refund" fee. Scam of a program. EDIT 2: Based on their recent response here is a direct copy paste from their refund email "Your membership has been cancelled and you have been refunded per your original request. There is a $17 transaction fee due to the processing fees we incur." This was in early 2024
I was so excited to try this…but was hesitant with the cost and did mention that but after listening to some of the information… I thought I would give it a try. I found the app to be very confusing… I sent messages explaining what happened and received messages that dismissed my experience…. First I made a password and when I input it… it kept saying I had the wrong one.. I wasn’t able to see the original one to see if I had made a mistake..so I sent a message….I finally figured that out before a return message. Then I couldn’t get out of the comments…I guess you are supposed to comment every time… but you are included with other comments… I just was having a really hard time navigating and I let them know. When you are in pain and you are trying to get some relief and the technology isn’t easy for you. Well it is frustrating.. I had a learning curve and I was in pain…. I just wanted it to be user friendly…. I was pretty shocked to get an email from them saying they weren’t keeping me as a client…. Can you imagine… making a decision to do a program and they fire you…. Yikes…Do not use this on your phone if you are older because there is tons of writing as opposed to videos. It was the most bizarre thing I had ever tried to navigate… kept taking me back to pages to comment.. I didn’t want to comment… just wanted to figure out how to get to the first module…. After expressing my frustration and also explaining ways to make it user friendly … they literally fired me… pretty sad for a company that is blasting ads all over Facebook about compassion to be so weird… my friend told me today to just drop using it and cancel but I wanted to try anyway… ha they fired me..… I personally think people with back pain are going to be frustrated or maybe people like me in a certain age group where back pain becomes a big deal. I am really bummed because the information and knowledge is there… oh and I think they blocked me from being able to comment on their Facebook posts…So disappointed. Ps. In over 30 years… I have maybe written four bad reviews of something… I usually just walk away… I would be totally ok with all of my emails to them be posted… it seems they might have skipped a few things…. … there is just something about their interaction that was totally dismissive…I even sent an apology of an email I sent as I was so upset when they told me I wasn’t “a good fit”. Just a totally bizarre experience. Also. Just read the response for the company… not sure where they got that I said they were stupid…. I don’t think that I said anyone was stupid… but again feel free to post an email that I actually called someone stupid…. Yikes.
