Great video rachel thank you. I will just add Anyone considering trying hamelin, but worried about the time commitment. You can just do part of the workout and come back to it the next day. I can't workout passed 45 mins or it backfires on my matobolism and I'm still getting results cutting them down.
I got the model workout yesterday because of YOU - I'm a long time TAMmer. I plan to continue to TAM but wanted something special and bootcampy for a change in preparation for a vacation - and LOVE HAM and LOVE YOU! I think I will continue both - I see how they complement each other. I watched ALL YOUR CONTENT to try to figure out what to do because both Methods truly are like learning a new language and you just gotta get in there and immerse yourself. I loved the first Model workout and your assessment, descriptions and tips were spot on. SO excited to see where this takes me over the next month and beyond. I also have the T-Tapp brush from more than 20 years ago and am getting that out again and going for it full throttle. Thanks for the awesome content!
HOW. EXCITING!!!! The Model Workout is WHERE ITS AT and I just completed it for the second time. There are times where I was concerned that I wasn’t getting enough of a workout but no, it is so good! Thank you so much for your kind words. They are so very encouraging ❤️. Keep us posted with your progress and if you need help getting into the invite only HAM Facebook group let me know!
Thanks Rachel for putting me on to HAM. I’ve been doing it for about 3 weeks and am already seeing results! I took an active rest day and did Tracy’s latest intermediate class. I have been doing Tracy for a year & 1/2 and still have a couple of months of my membership left. Anyway, when I did Tracy this past week, her moves seemed much more random to me and I didn’t feel it was as much of a workout. Interesting to gain new perspective by trying something new. Tracy was good for a while but I hit a plateau and HAM seems to be getting me over that bump.
@@lsortwell4 it’s invite only believe it or not! You can reach out to his team on his site and ask to be invited. Just be sure to answer the questions that come via Facebook otherwise you’ll be automatically denied. A lot I know but worth it!
@@RundownwithRachel Thank you so much. I'm leaving TAM and I've been watching your videos all afternoon. They've really helped me get excited for my next workout chapter. Truly, thanks!
Thank you Rachel. You are always speaking my same language and always in the same page as me. I am scared a bit to dive in to the time commitment but I know I can do it. Thank you for all sharing your thoughts and like me “cardio is where it’s at “
“I get easily irritated when someone’s talking at me…” 😂. That is what prevents me from so many workouts. “Want the body?! You gotta do the time! There you go! That’s it! You got it!” Omgosh…shut up and let me do the workout 😳🤫. I feel you, Rachel
Hey there! I am new to Hamelin too and after I finished the 3 week rotation, I looked on his site and saw that he has a model workout that's only 1 hour. I think it's called The model workout 1 hour, and then there is also the 90 minute sessions. There is 6 sessions at the 60 minute mark. Just wanted to point that out! I'd also recommend express, which is a 30 minute series he has that consists of cardio( high and low), toning for arms and legs, and more, but it's only 30 minutes total for each workout. He has a lot of programs so you have to kind of research I guess. Love you Rachel! Hope it works out for you!
I switched over to Hamelin back in October after 12 years of TA. I'm now visibly leaning out and getting tighter all over, something I never saw with TA, even after 12 years, at least not to the same extend as HAM. I alternate between his model workout course, longer inch loss classes and his 1 hour inch loss classes.
Hey hey, I'm new here, just found your channel today! After watching one of your videos, I did a little searching and binge watching as the way you talk about fitness is just my style or at least it was in the past before a hip injury 7 years ago. I'm finally feeling the ability to get back to moving well without nerve pain. I use to do a combo of walking videos and TAM meta and loved the results I was getting. At that time back in 2011, I didn't know TAM had other programs; so when the 90 days were up I joined a group bootcamp class to gain more knowledge and get more help from a trainer. Unfortunately, I ended up bulking up, feeling super hungry all the time and left a year later with a few minor unknown injuries due to poor form that I was aware of, plus the trainers had me lifting way too heavy, but I just didn't know any better. Thankfully, I do now. Anyway, I'm looking to lose around 40 pounds. I'm 39, 5'1, 160 pounds currently. Back when I started TAM, I was around 115 pounds and 27 years old. With that being said, I started TAM when I was small and at goal weight just looking to tone and tighten. Currently I'm looking to lose 40 pounds. So my question is should I focus on walking and food to get the weight down and then start back to TAM or would it be fine to start TAM now? I definitely was to drop a few dress/jean sizes. I'm also not sure I should just into meta right away as it would be pretty intense to start. I do have a few of her other DVD that I haven't ever tried, bit bought a few years ago as I have been trying to get my body back into fitness. I know for sure I won't buy the online services as it's beyond my budget. Any advice? I would love to hear your thoughts! Thanks for sharing you have helped me remember how easy and fun health and fitness is. I literally lost 70 pounds after baby #3 by counting my food and walking...and maybe nursing a baby helped a little...lol! Consistency is truly the key!
Hey Ashley! That is so frustrating!!! And I’m so with you consistency is key! It may be worth trying to do a type of 75 Medium challenge (you may have seen my last video on this) where you give yourself that consistency and pickup long walks daily or something low impact you enjoy. It will give you a period of time to suspend judgment on yourself too which I think is also key! I’m actually in the process of researching what tools would best help women in this situation and organizing Zoom interviews. Feel free to DM me on IG ❤️
Rachel, you are glowing. In your workout clips, you look super lean! Those legs and core😍 I'm surprised that the 90min flow by and you don't get hungry. It makes me curious about the program. But I'll wait until I'm healthy again and you'll report back about your progress.
Hey thanks for your video! Re the time commitment - I am doing the Inch loss 1 hour course right now, each class is 55 mins and really effective :) I don’t have time for 90 mins at the moment. Also bought and love xpress series for days I’m short on time :)
Ooooohhh yes! If I did it over again I probably would have invested in Inch loss first. Much more reasonable! I didn’t even consider the express series but that’s another great option. Thank you!
Love Hamelin! I also struggle with the time commitment. I've made a list of my favourite leg, arm and abdominal sections of various Inch Loss and TMW, for when I don't have time for the whole workout.
You made me curious about HAM... today was my first day of the promo 3week program. I echo much of your (and the commenters' sentiments) around moving on from TA. I was feeling less motivated to roll out the mat, and this has breathed new energy into my morning routine. Plus I want the results! A little cardio is what I have been missing.
Thanks for the video! I did TA too and now I switched to Hamelin. I did inches loss 1 and loved it. I just did model workout today and honestly didn’t connect as much with it. I will probably alternate inches loss and model. I also ride my peloton as well. I haven’t lost weight but I have lost inches. I need to stay more committed to 5 days a week or even 6 but it’s so hard for me to workout that much with 2 kids.
I know what you mean! I felt that way too - pulled to inch loss over the Model Workout, but the longer I do it the more I like the model workout. Whatever workout you can get while being a mom to 2 kids is impressive. I commend you.
I’m so pleased I found your channel. I would never of found out about Hamelin if it wasn’t for you! I am so eager to try it now! I’m pleased Hamelin is from London, England as that is where I’m from! I love all your reviews and tips! I’m curious, is there any reason why you workout in red lighting? It looks cool! Xx
This seems like the type of workouts I like, but the website is really confusing atm. It seems most of the courses are no longer available or are in pre-order. Very strange. And it seems the facebook group no longer exists? There are free videos on youtube though, I will try a few of those and see :)
Hey! I thought that the FB group was no longer available but just checked and it is! The challenge is, its invite only! You just have to go to the Hamelin site and message his team, provide your FB and they will invite you.
These videos are so helpful! On your advice, I just started Hamelin. Even though it's week One - and I'm in my mid-40s - I already see a difference. Would love it if you could do a video recommending exactly how to do the method. There doesn't seem to be much explanation on his site, and I'm not on FB. Maybe you could give recs on when to do which videos, e.g. Model workout on day 1, cardio tone on day 2, etc etc. Many thanks for informative and funny videos.
How exciting, Carola!!!! I am so stunned by the results I’m seeing and feeling. How thankful I am I’ve switched over. More videos coming soon on Hamelin! I can’t wait!!
Yes to the super sports bras and yes to the bathroom before the workout, ESPECIALLY if you have had children! #somuchjumping I do modify the jumping moves quite often
I do NOT see the controversy. I've been a dancer, taught adult jazzercie, aerobics, studied Charlene Pricket, Tracy Mallet Barre, etc... I've incorporated TA Metamorphosis for approx 2 years, (own videos and use RUclips.) This is a good workout and there is no real similarity to TA Method. Sorry, but I don't think her claim on copyright is merited. Furthermore, I don't really dig TA's cardio so😉😉thanks my 2 cents.
I've just done his first workout, unfortunately, didn't like the music and overall 2000 vibe...But I still would like to give him a try as a lot of cardio sounds promising.
I recommend trying eve by taylor and o44 way by Carrie dorr. I find their workouts so effective..o44 had a signature box to tracy Andersons but way cheaper and the variety of workouts is unmatched as well as effective, eve by taylor is another workout I enjoy and it's a workout that models do to mantain certain body measurements. It's super fun
Love this video and how you bring us along on your journey in all these different area! Putting everything else aside, how do you feel about the difference in results when you compare TA vs Hamelin?!
Thanks for the video, it's great to hear that you're seeing results and enjoying new workouts. I like the idea of cardio sprinkled in to break up the workout. I just can't see myself doing an hour long workout in one go. I saw someone posted that you can do part of the workout. What do you think? Could you easily break it into 30 minutes segments? I'm thinking half in the morning and the rest in the evening.
I know. That’s the only downside for me. Lately, I will make the most of it by scheduling time to catch up with a friend while I workout. Since it’s so low impact I can still talk while I do it.
I'm have an endomorph body type so I'm always worried about adding bulk to my thighs because I build muscle super fast in my hips and thighs. Do you think this type of workout doesn't work well for an endomorph body type since my goal is to stay away from workouts that increase thigh and hip size? For example I cannot do lunges or squats or anything that builds quads or hamstrings. I look for workouts that either lean me out or only tone up my body without increasing in inches.
As much as I can tell you this has leaned me out and hasn’t bulked me - we could very well have different experiences. But wouldn’t that make things so much less complicated?? It may be worth joining the Hamelin Facebook group and seeing if anyone else with an endomorph body type can attest to this and even to ask if they found success with one program over about. Because when I did the 3 week rotation which is a mix of his different workouts - my results were different than doing the Model Workout program which seems to have a MAJOR leaning effect. I’ve heard his program Inch Loss is also super leaning.
The loaded question, right?! I am 6 weeks in and I am so glad I made the switch. For me, I’m liking it more than TAM, but there is a longer time commitment. That’s the major challenge. But it’s worth it for me!
Hey! It may be because it’s a private group and invites may be required 😒. If you try searching for Hamelin D’Abell community group that may work. If it requires an invites, shoot me a message on IG with your Facebook and I’ll invite you ❤️
HI! I have been doing TAM and while I love it, not getting the results I want after 9 months (and yes, I've taken B&A photos). Which of his programs would you recommend to start with? I know you started with the model series. I tried to join the FB group but they keep denying my request to join because I don't have a profile pic. Because of past issues with stalking and threats (true story), I don't want a photo and just use FB for 2 workout groups and 2 religious-related groups. I don't to any social media personally. So... since they refuse to let me join, I'm at square one and have no idea which program to purchase. Any of the ones free on You Tube you recommend that would be a good start? I don't mind spending $100 for a series - a bargain compared to TAM - but don't know which to choose. I'm a pear shape - lean arms and great abs - bubble butt with cellulite on the bottom. I was a pro bodybuilder in my 30s and now 48 with still-to-large butt and glutes haha. Thanks in advance!
Hi Rachel. Do you have another link to the FB Hamelin Community Group? I was a member last year, but my FB account got hacked and I had to create a new one and I'm re-joining all my fave groups, this one being at the top of the list. Has the group been put on private recently because the link you have (which was how I joined last year!) now tells me that the page is unavailable. Could you help me out? I'm dying to rejoin. Thank you!
Hey! With the conversion rate from GBP to USD it ended up being ~$100. You do have continued access to it and I don’t know that it’s necessary to constantly invest in new programs but I will look into it
So I haven't don't HAM because I am still trying to get through TA meta morphosis omnicentric. I am on day 52. I have already finished 90 days of meta abcentrics. The one area I really wanted to see results in is my arms. So far nothing has eliminated my bat wings. I feel super discouraged. I am 58 years old. Has anyone had success with Ham's workout and toning their arms (the triceps) so the skin/fat doesn't flap?😔
as someone who has experienced the same issue and tried it all, exercise alone cannot fix looser skin, sadly...it is due to age and hormonal changes. I did renuvion skin tightening procedure with a qualified doctor and it helped a lot!
I also had the same problem with my arms until I did TA Mat method , you have to keep doing it though and after a few weeks you can mix it up with other ones
Ham definitely gives more attention to back of arms, triceps, and batwings. I was left wishing TA omni did more for the back of my arms and i already notice a difference with ham. He has a shoulder and arm video that you can find on youtube you may want to check out, I am hopeful the back of my arms will be as defined as the front with his method
Do you feel like you prefer this or TA? I’m debating trying her trial. I’ve tried some sculpt society and it’s pretty good. But too much freedom to choose. I feel like I need more structure. I AM worried about the cardio. I just can’t jump around. Too much pain in knees. I’m not heavy I just don’t strong knees. Is it worth starting if I can’t do all of the jumping?
Hey Brooke! Such great questions! I do prefer Hamelin over TA - mostly because of the quick results and also that the cardio is mixed in the workout - so I am getting a 2 in 1. I do not have great knees either - and try to avoid jumping, lunges, etc. Within Hamelin's workouts, there is jumping, but I am not finding that its an issue. The good news is many of his workouts are available on RUclips. I am currently doing "The Model Workout" which I don't believe is on RUclips - but Inch Loss is similar to it - its a long workout but not taxing. Feels very much like old school aerobics. I plan to do a video talking through this topic by next Sunday. Back to the topic of TAM - Much of Tracy's old content can also be found on youtube (Metamorphosis) and truth be told, I got better results with that than her online streaming. It can be confusing, distracting and frustrating to navigate all of this - especially when the major question is WHICH ONE IS RIGHT FOR ME???? Right now, Hamelin is working great for me - but there has been an adjustment and I look forward to covering that next week. Have a great Sunday!
@@RundownwithRachel thank you so much for taking time to answer me! I’m going to join the Fb group since you mentioned free courses there too. I’ll check it out. Good to know about the knees. It’s so funny everything you talk about is stuff I’ve been sort of uncovering too. Like old school exercises and aerobics actually really work! Also for the Hamelin method I like the idea of a longer yet not exhausting workout too. When I was running regularly several years ago, I felt so much more bloated and inflamed. It’s like my body never got lean like so many runners talk about. I’m really enjoying your content. Thanks for taking the time to do it!
I’ve done weight lifting in the past and I think it just comes down to how you feel and what you’re going for. I love the long lean look with Hamelin, and I’m sure people have done that with weights to an extent, but given I’m happy with the workout and results it’s seems to be what’s best for me at the moment. In the past I did HIT workouts with weights and it seemed to make me inflamed and incredibly hungry.
@@RundownwithRachel okay well that’s a good reason! I ask bc it seems much harder and longer ( Anderson and Hamelin) than weight lifting but i am sure weights do leave us a little more bulky than these programs which isn’t my goal either. But I’m lazy enough to stick with weights 😂
Great video rachel thank you. I will just add Anyone considering trying hamelin, but worried about the time commitment. You can just do part of the workout and come back to it the next day. I can't workout passed 45 mins or it backfires on my matobolism and I'm still getting results cutting them down.

Where did you find the model workouts? I went to his website, but didn’t see that one!
I can’t find the Facebook group.

I know. That’s the only downside for me. Lately, I will make the most of it by scheduling time to catch up with a friend while I workout. Since it’s so low impact I can still talk while I do it.
I'm have an endomorph body type so I'm always worried about adding bulk to my thighs because I build muscle super fast in my hips and thighs. Do you think this type of workout doesn't work well for an endomorph body type since my goal is to stay away from workouts that increase thigh and hip size? For example I cannot do lunges or squats or anything that builds quads or hamstrings. I look for workouts that either lean me out or only tone up my body without increasing in inches.
As much as I can tell you this has leaned me out and hasn’t bulked me - we could very well have different experiences. But wouldn’t that make things so much less complicated??
It may be worth joining the Hamelin Facebook group and seeing if anyone else with an endomorph body type can attest to this and even to ask if they found success with one program over about. Because when I did the 3 week rotation which is a mix of his different workouts - my results were different than doing the Model Workout program which seems to have a MAJOR leaning effect. I’ve heard his program Inch Loss is also super leaning.
why am i not seeing the fb group link?
@@412mystic it’s invite only! You can reach out to Hamelins team on their site and they can help invite you ❤️
Do you think this is better than Tracy Anderson?
The loaded question, right?! I am 6 weeks in and I am so glad I made the switch. For me, I’m liking it more than TAM, but there is a longer time commitment. That’s the major challenge. But it’s worth it for me!
Very interesting! Do you have a link for your cute headband?
Is this the TA where you do the same class everyday for a week?
the facebook link goes to a dead page. says this content isn't available right now.
Hey! It may be because it’s a private group and invites may be required 😒. If you try searching for Hamelin D’Abell community group that may work. If it requires an invites, shoot me a message on IG with your Facebook and I’ll invite you ❤️
@@RundownwithRachel great! thank you. are you on the tam facebook group?
HI! I have been doing TAM and while I love it, not getting the results I want after 9 months (and yes, I've taken B&A photos). Which of his programs would you recommend to start with? I know you started with the model series. I tried to join the FB group but they keep denying my request to join because I don't have a profile pic. Because of past issues with stalking and threats (true story), I don't want a photo and just use FB for 2 workout groups and 2 religious-related groups. I don't to any social media personally. So... since they refuse to let me join, I'm at square one and have no idea which program to purchase. Any of the ones free on You Tube you recommend that would be a good start? I don't mind spending $100 for a series - a bargain compared to TAM - but don't know which to choose. I'm a pear shape - lean arms and great abs - bubble butt with cellulite on the bottom. I was a pro bodybuilder in my 30s and now 48 with still-to-large butt and glutes haha. Thanks in advance!
Dawn Digs In has the 3 week rotation in the description of one of her videos, as well as links to each workout. Hope that helps!
Can you only get the workouts on Facebook??
Great question! They are available on HamelinDabell.com
@@RundownwithRachel thanks but the site can’t be reached, no dvd?

Hi Rachel. Do you have another link to the FB Hamelin Community Group? I was a member last year, but my FB account got hacked and I had to create a new one and I'm re-joining all my fave groups, this one being at the top of the list. Has the group been put on private recently because the link you have (which was how I joined last year!) now tells me that the page is unavailable. Could you help me out? I'm dying to rejoin. Thank you!
Hey! It’s invite only so you can reach out to the Hamelin team (via the website contact I believe ) and they will invite you 😃
Hi Rachel thanks for the great review! I was wondering what the cost was for the 5 week program you took? Thanks! ☺️
Hey! With the conversion rate from GBP to USD it ended up being ~$100. You do have continued access to it and I don’t know that it’s necessary to constantly invest in new programs but I will look into it
@@RundownwithRachel
Great, thanks so much! 👍
So I haven't don't HAM because I am still trying to get through TA meta morphosis omnicentric. I am on day 52. I have already finished 90 days of meta abcentrics. The one area I really wanted to see results in is my arms. So far nothing has eliminated my bat wings. I feel super discouraged. I am 58 years old. Has anyone had success with Ham's workout and toning their arms (the triceps) so the skin/fat doesn't flap?😔
as someone who has experienced the same issue and tried it all, exercise alone cannot fix looser skin, sadly...it is due to age and hormonal changes. I did renuvion skin tightening procedure with a qualified doctor and it helped a lot!
I also had the same problem with my arms until I did TA Mat method , you have to keep doing it though and after a few weeks you can mix it up with other ones
@@moiraleigh5272 yes I did TA arms for a year and it did not help lol sometimes, medical help is needed
Ham definitely gives more attention to back of arms, triceps, and batwings. I was left wishing TA omni did more for the back of my arms and i already notice a difference with ham. He has a shoulder and arm video that you can find on youtube you may want to check out, I am hopeful the back of my arms will be as defined as the front with his method
Great video. Are you continuing TA?
yes I want to know this also!
Hey! I’m not doing anymore TA. As much as I miss the community it just felt right to move on ❤️
Do you feel like you prefer this or TA? I’m debating trying her trial. I’ve tried some sculpt society and it’s pretty good. But too much freedom to choose. I feel like I need more structure. I AM worried about the cardio. I just can’t jump around. Too much pain in knees. I’m not heavy I just don’t strong knees. Is it worth starting if I can’t do all of the jumping?
Hey Brooke! Such great questions! I do prefer Hamelin over TA - mostly because of the quick results and also that the cardio is mixed in the workout - so I am getting a 2 in 1. I do not have great knees either - and try to avoid jumping, lunges, etc. Within Hamelin's workouts, there is jumping, but I am not finding that its an issue. The good news is many of his workouts are available on RUclips. I am currently doing "The Model Workout" which I don't believe is on RUclips - but Inch Loss is similar to it - its a long workout but not taxing. Feels very much like old school aerobics. I plan to do a video talking through this topic by next Sunday. Back to the topic of TAM - Much of Tracy's old content can also be found on youtube (Metamorphosis) and truth be told, I got better results with that than her online streaming. It can be confusing, distracting and frustrating to navigate all of this - especially when the major question is WHICH ONE IS RIGHT FOR ME???? Right now, Hamelin is working great for me - but there has been an adjustment and I look forward to covering that next week. Have a great Sunday!
@@RundownwithRachel thank you so much for taking time to answer me! I’m going to join the Fb group since you mentioned free courses there too. I’ll check it out. Good to know about the knees. It’s so funny everything you talk about is stuff I’ve been sort of uncovering too. Like old school exercises and aerobics actually really work! Also for the Hamelin method I like the idea of a longer yet not exhausting workout too. When I was running regularly several years ago, I felt so much more bloated and inflamed. It’s like my body never got lean like so many runners talk about. I’m really enjoying your content. Thanks for taking the time to do it!
Just curious why weightlifting wouldn’t get you where u want to be faster? Are u concerned about getting bulky with weights?
I’ve done weight lifting in the past and I think it just comes down to how you feel and what you’re going for. I love the long lean look with Hamelin, and I’m sure people have done that with weights to an extent, but given I’m happy with the workout and results it’s seems to be what’s best for me at the moment. In the past I did HIT workouts with weights and it seemed to make me inflamed and incredibly hungry.
@@RundownwithRachel okay well that’s a good reason! I ask bc it seems much harder and longer ( Anderson and Hamelin) than weight lifting but i am sure weights do leave us a little more bulky than these programs which isn’t my goal either. But I’m lazy enough to stick with weights 😂
Rachel I cannot access the Facebook group, how could I get in? Thank you!
Hey girl! Send me a FB request (Rundown with Rachel) and I’ll invite you!
@@RundownwithRachel I just asked you through FB thank you!!
