Inspiring lady…. the fact that Tony Robbins is involved, dodgy. He is obviously milking it for his coffers.

  Agreed. Tony Robbins is a snake-oil merchant.

Just bought all of Toni’s books and CDs. Can’t wait to try TaiBo!

True, as the guys pointed out above, Tony Robbins nearly had me switch off, but he does a good job by having as little input as necessary. The lady tells her own story, brilliantly!

Made my Friday.

Yes, every day I wake up thinking “Isn’t it wonderful to live in a world where less than 100 years ago a whole race was nearly wiped out on the whim of a mad man”.

Really just sets me up for the day.

Alice said not to hate so why is everyone hating on Tony.

I’m surprised at all the hating on Tony Robbins, I wonder if anyone here knows how much he contributes to the world…hmm probably not. Nice vid!
