Where TapOut has a Clear Advantage over GSP RushFit

The new players on the extreme home workout block are decidedly cut from the very same fabric.  

What you have with TapOut v. GSP RushFit is the conglomeration of concepts that derive from the desire of the creators to have you work full body at a high intensity, but doing it according to the patterns set by the sport of Mixed Martial Arts.  This is a sport that has kicked boxing to the status of also ran and in the process has built a loyal following where you can’t go to sports bar on the night of an event and not see people lined up for a seat.   The time to strike was now, especially considering that the gym workout CrossFit has become probably the biggest current trend for group workouts in a health club setting.  All of these programs together have one similar thing in common: the emphasis on making sure that you are working your body in synergistic manner. This is consistent with the direction that science is recommending we take our workouts.

Given this, it is little wonder that TapOut and GSP RushFit both have gotten off to sizzling starts in sales and popular buzz. When you look at GSP RushFit v. TapOut, one area that RushFit had an earlier advantage (besides being first) was that it had the power of celebrity. George St. Pierre is not just any celebrity either. He’s arguably the most popular all-time star in the history of the sport. He’s known for his charismatic personality and his brutal work ethic in getting prepared for his matches. The creators of GSP RushFit could simply transfer a lot of the direct ideas you see Mr. St. Pierre do for his preparations and edit them down into a workable format. What they did clearly was more than that. As a results users are reporting results like you see with P90X but with in less time and with arguably a superior weight loss performance.

Where Tapout and GSP RushFit diverge and where TapOut has a clear exploitable advantage is in two areas. First, TapOut is about as simple as it gets. You don’t need weights. You just need yourself and a willingness to work hard according to the instructions laid out.  The other thing about TapOut v. GSP RushFit is TapOut is a much more thorough multi-disciplinary approach that probably does a better job of teaching you what it’s like when you are an actual Mixed Martial Arts combatant. There’s great variety of karate, full body contact and punching maneuvers.
