Sweat Factory

Petra Kolber
Year Released: 1997

Categories: Floor Aerobics/Hi-Lo/Dance


I like Petra but I didn't like this video. It starts off with a 4 minute dancy warmup and then goes into a 23 minute workout. I hated the set with flashing lights and weird hooker type dancers in the background. Really gross. It was hard to concentrate on the instructing because of it. I know it's supposed to be a club type setting but this was like a topless bar with the girls in mini skirts, gogo boots and revealing tops in the background. Yuckeroo. Sometimes they would lay on the ground and act all weird.

The workout itself is really funky like a grapevine with a funky twist to it.

There were two camera angles one close and one far away. On the close up, Petra and her friends ( two other girls) were really sweaty. Where on the far away angle, they weren't. It didn't match.

The workout itself was ok, but I don't think I will do it again since I hated the weird set. The music was ok. Nothing great.

Instructor Comments:
Every video Petra leads is full of smiles and friendly attitude. She does a good job on cueing and teaching the moves. She is having a lot of fun and sometimes clowns around. She also talks with the background exercisers and she calls them her best friends.
