The answer is a resounding "Yes".
I have researched some of these alternatives and have listed them below:
Workout Pass - This is a membership website that gives you THOUSANDS of workouts for a one time fee of $99. The exercise programs are broken down into a person's goals. For example there are sport specific programs for baseball, basketball, football, golf. There are weight management programs for men and for women. There are exercise programs for senior citizens. Specialty programs are available for abs, lower body, and upper body. Fitness ball routines and medicine ball routines are also part of this website. You have to check out Workout Pass for yourself to see all that you get for the one time fee. Also included in the price are bonuses.
Body Bot - This too is a membership website that allows you to customize workout routines depending upon your fitness goals. The fee for this website membership is $67. The uniqueness of this site is that it is based on a EPOC (see site for details). A quick summary is that the workouts are SHORT and INTENSE! You can perform Body Bot exercise routines at home.
Workout Without Weights - Coach Eddie Lomax has created a bodyweight calisthenic workout progression system. Workout Without Weights is a step-by-step plan using your bodyweight for resistance at home. For $19.95 Coach Lomax will send you the Workout Without Weights system plus bonuses.
