Received a small sample of this with the thermo ab wrap I purchased from Sweet sweat and tucked it away in a drawer for months. After running out of my regular regimen I pulled it out of it's dark hiding place a decided to use untill my old faithful arrived. It went on nicely, smelled great and after just a few minutes of working out back and bicips I was dripping with sweat. In the next few days I used on abs, legs and shoulders same results, and by day 5 I was down 3 pounds and probably excess water weight. Cancelled old faithful and ordered a full jar of Sweet Sweat Workout enhancer coconut and look forward to seeing more results and more muscle deffintion. Just for your piece of mind, I DID NOT recieve this item at a discounted price or free for an honest review, I PAID FULL PRICE so this is a real honest review

I like it and will keep using it.

I'm basically starting over from scratch, again… and I can't really say how well this stuff works considering it's just one of three new things that I started doing at the same time…and only two weeks ago. I have no way to test the effectiveness of Sweet Sweat, but I think it does help me to sweat more. In addition to Sweet Sweat Coconut and a new (to me) workout plan, I also started wearing a Body Spa neoprene full body sauna suit when I workout. For anyone interested, I've been reading/listening to “Thinner Leaner Stronger” by Matthew Michaels and following his “One Year Challenge for Women” book. I'm slowly getting into the macro tracking. Since I don't have a gym membership any more (and I'm not interested in getting one) and I don't own the weights that he prescribes in his book, I've been modifying the workouts to kettlebell variations and I'm making it work for me. I own 13 kettlebells ranging in weight from 8 kg to 32 kg, so I am able to lift heavy as the program requires. My cardio sessions are kettlebell swings with a medium-heavy bell for me. Right now I'm doing 200 swings broken down into 15-20 sets of 12-15 swings each done in 1 minute intervals so I'm done in 20 minutes or less. My goal is 600 swings broken down into 30 sets of 20 swings. For every workout, I apply Sweet Sweat Coconut all over my core, back, upper arms, hips, and thighs. I also wear the Body Spa neoprene sauna suit. Oh yeah! I'm also drinking two shots of espresso before my workouts. I begin sweating almost immediately after putting the Sweet Sweat Coconut on (even before getting the sauna suit on), and I'm drenched in sweat by the end of my workouts. Giant drops of sweat fly off of me and sprinkle the floor (even when I'm not doing a cardio session). It's kind of gross, but I know sweating helps rid the body of toxins and stuff. I was skeptical about this product, especially after reading the ingredients. I don't understand how a bunch of oils (coconut oil, acai pulp oil, jojoba oil, pomegranate seed oil, olive oil, and aloe vera extract) can cause a thermogenic response in the skin. But, I figure, if it really isn't doing anything, then at least it should be conditioning my skin. However, I do sweat a lot and plan to continue using Sweet Sweat Coconut for as long as I'm able to afford it. Hopefully I have it right this time and will see solid results by the end of the One Year Challenge. My Week 1 results were promising, and I will continue to do everything I can to maximize my efforts and optimize my results by using Sweet Sweat Coconut, counting macros, and meal prepping

I have been using the sweet sweat waist trainer for well over 6 months now …

I have been using the sweet sweat waist trainer for well over 6 months now and I am obsessed. I literally use it every day. I first heard of sweet sweat from my fitness idol Lauren Drain Kagen and highly considered purchasing it, and when I finally did I wasn't disappointed. I am always skeptical about buying things that fitness idols endorse because you never really know what their true opinions really are. Lauren uses this ALL THE TIME so I figured it HAD to be doing something she liked, so I got it. I purchased the yellow Large waist training belt along with the sweet sweat workout enhancing gel in the stick. IT WAS AMAZING! I used to just be an avid runner and It made my core shape up beautifully. I was hesitant about how it was going to work for me when I decided to start body building and I can honestly say I still does wonders even though I am not doing as much cardio. I wear it any and every time I am in the gym and it never fails to leave me with a good sweat. I recently had to purchase a new belt (i went with the pink one) and a tub of the coconut workout enhancing gel because I wore out my old one and trimmed my love handles to the point that I needed a smaller one! Very impressed with the results and I recommend it to all my friends who train. I even got my friend one and she uses it all the time now and is grossed out by the amount of sweat she gets, even without the gel! Great product

Smells delicious!

This stuff is amazing! It arrived exactly as described. The first time I applied it, it literally smelled so good that I wanted to eat it. You apply it rather liberally to your "problem areas" and you don't completely rub it in. I only apply it to my midsection where my Sweet Sweat Waist Trimmer covers. It does feel greasy, but I don't mind it at all. When I do my workouts with the cream and waist trimmer on, I definitely begin to sweat a ton! When I finish my workout and remove the waist trimmer, the sweat will pour off me and onto the floor - disgusting but satisfying! After I get cleaned up, I can tell the area where the cream was is noticeably softer (partly because of all the sweat that came out!) Overall, I love this product paired with my waist trimmer

Reading Is Fundamental

First, this product DOES work if you use it for its intended purpose and FOLLOW the manufacturer's directions. There are a couple of people I know personally who said it didn't work for them. My first question was, â€˜Did you rub the ointment into your skin?' and both of their answers were â€˜Yes.' Yeah…so the first thing you should do is read the manufacturer's very clear directions that specifically say, â€˜BEFORE EXERCISE, APPLY AN AMPLE AMOUNT OF SWEET SWEAT TO THE SKIN WITHOUT RUBBING IT IN.' Let's say it together, WITHOUT RUBBING IT IN. I can almost guarantee that most people who buy things absolutely don't read and then get upset when they don't get the results they want. If you apply this correctly and engage in exercise; YOU WILL SWEAT! Period. Also; you should probably invest in a compatible Sports Research trimmer since the products are DESIGNED to work together. Lastly, stop thinking you can trim yourself overnight. There's no quick fix to losing subcutaneous fat. You MUST go the gym and EXERCISE. This product helps you along when used IN ADDITION to an exercise and nutrition plan. None of this is rocket science, just laziness

Really works!

So like any other product it only works if you put the effort. I have lost about 10lbs using this product. It makes you SWEAT! However you don't need to necessarily use the sweetsweat waist trainer as long as it's a neoprene material it will work. The only thing I noticed is that it leaves this green residue and it did stain my sports bra but I believe it has a warning on it. As well it is pretty hard to rub off in the shower, but if you wipe it off with a napkin prior to that it comes off easier. ALSO a little goes a LONG way. I've had mine since July and still have more than half the tub, and keep in mind I work out just about every day! Overall I am waiting to buy again!

BUY IT

I love this gel! I apply it to my mid section, the back of my arms and my cheeks/double chin before working out! 4 week difference using this under my chin, eating in a slight caloric deficit and weight training 6 days a week! Makes targeted areas sweat like crazy

I felt like a greasy

So first I should say, it really does work. So maybe I should give the product 5 stars, since it really does make you sweat. However, I haven't really found that all the extra sweating makes me lose any extra weight, because as soon as I drink water it just comes right back. I wish that wasn't true, but it's just the way it is. However, going a couple of extra miles and then skipping dinner definitely drops the pounds real quick and without all the sticky nasty mess of this stuff. By smearing this stuff on my body, I may be sweating out extra toxins and that's important, but it really feels gross. Very oily and greasy and uncomfortable. I used it a few times before I went for my usual 6 mile run in the mountains and the whole time, I felt like a greasy, sweaty little piglet and pretty much completely disgusting. Fortunately I don't smell bad no matter how much I sweat, or I'd also be a stinky, sweaty, greasy little piglet which would really be intolerable! lol Actually the stuff does smell pretty good - it really is sweet sweat, true to the name. However, that being said, the greasiness was enough to completely turn me off the product and make me really uncomfortable. I don't know why normal sweat doesn't feel this gross to me, as I'm a trail runner and I frequently run in the mountains midday in the summer, so I'm no stranger to sweating. However, the combination of the oily skin and sweat is just gross. And it doesn't ever dry like normal sweat, so as I'm driving home in my truck I'm squirming around feeling all icky. Running some quick errands or stopping at the store on the way back from my run isn't even an option, I have to get right to a shower and get the stuff off asap. So before you buy this - be sure and take that into consideration. Do you really want to be that sweaty AND greasy? If so - buy it. It does work like they say it does. You will most definitely sweat way more than normal. But you will also most definitely be oily and greasy too, and if that doesn't sound pleasant to you, then skip it

Not bad. Lasts a long time too.

Really enjoying using this stuff so far. It's kinda goopy, but it works as advertised. I'm 27 but ai have arthritis and migraines. I put this cream on my joints before heading to the gym (knees, hips, shoulders - anywhere that typically gets tense from doing low impact cardio) and it helps. I can make it thru 45 mins on the elliptical without my knees starting to ache. I also use it with my waist trimmer belt, and the two of them combined have me pouring sweat. As for the smell, it doesn't really smell like coconut, but it doesnt smell bad and its not very strong. I don't worry about somebody finding me stinky. Also, deodorant helps. This is the size i bought; i use it a few times a week and my container is still mostly full. I think it'll last the whole year

Still Loving It!

I've been using Sweet Sweat for a while now, good 2 years I believe and I still like it. I'm a natural sweater when working out but this does truly enhance the sweating on areas my body has a hard time producing heat such as the upper arm. I like the unscented version a lot better than the other with that flowery smell. I'm a woman but when working out I don't want to smell like a flower, it's just too much :). On another note, your clothes will definitely be stained but if you prewash the workout clothes with the stains while showering then things will get off during a regular wash. Actually, I don't mind the stains of the gel because I know it works and if I'm concerned with the stain on my workout clothes then I shouldn't be in the gym at all. Your sweat will stain your shirts, pants, bras, etc, down the road. I'd highly recommend Sweet Sweat because I know it works, period
