Well, first let me apologize for writing this review so late. I finished 22 Minute Hard Corps (22MHC) almost 3 weeks ago but I just have not had the time to sit and write this out. The results and photos are accurate as of the day I finished when I did my last fit test.
Ok, so let's get on with it, shall we?
First let me explain what 22MHC is. This is an 8 week long fitness program by superstar trainer (creator of P90X) Tony Horton. The workouts are fast-past bootcamp style workouts inspired by real military bootcamp training (they even feature military vets as the cast) and they are only 22 minutes long. The program also includes the now infamous Beachbody portion-based nutrition plan (similar to 21 Day Fix). It's a total package that can help you transform from the inside out!
I completed all 8 week of 22MHC plus the additional Hell Week Challenge (total of 9 weeks). Here are my results:
- Weight Loss: 3.2 lbs
- Body Fat decreased by 1.4%
- I lost 1 inch in my waist, and about a quarter inch in each thigh and each arm
- I saw a big improvement in my Fit Test over the course of 9 weeks:
Now I will be honest and say that I wasn't great with my nutrition. I had some really good weeks, and some really off weeks. One low point for me was when we had to put both of our cats down at the same time. I was an emotional wreck and certainly fell off my game that week. But overall, I stayed consistent enough so that I still went in the right direction and didn't gain.
When I looked at my before and after pictures I was bummed out because I didn't think you could see any difference. But then when I compared the side view photos I was really shocked at the difference I could see around my waist and the perkiness in my butt. Between the perked-up butt and the improved fit test results, I will say that I am truly happy with my results!

I loved the short workouts in this program. Prior to starting this I was doing The Masters Hammer & Chisel, which I did enjoy but struggled to squeeze in the longer workouts. I really do best when I can keep my workouts to 40 minutes or less because I exercise before work and time is very limited when I have to get myself and my son out of the house by 7am.
I was absolutely shocked at how difficult the workouts were. I was not expecting to struggle through them like I did. In fact, I was wondering if they would be too easy! Guess I thought wrong with that! Even the level one workouts were very challenging. By them time I got to level three there were moves that I had to modify the modifier LOL. I was also shocked at the amount of burpees in the workouts. There are so many burpees. Soooooo many burpees! Each level you move on to presents a new version of burpees to hate. Luckily my son was usually still asleep when I did my workouts because the words coming out of my mouth during some of these workouts were not appropriate ffor 3 year old ears LOL.
Is 22MHC the right program for you?
22 Minute Hard Corps might be a good choice for you if you fall into any of these categories:
- Are busy and don’t have a lot of time to spend at the gym or working out
- Are a former member of the military and you want to get back to the fitness level you had while in the service
- Want a basic, no-nonsense workout routine that gets results without a lot of challenging choreography
- Like Tony Horton and his workouts, or want something short and intense (similar to T25 or Insanity Max:30)
