What other people are saying:
“I’m a new user and I don’t want to use this just as a blender to make smoothies. I also wanted something my 8 and 10 year old could watch with me. To get excited about using it. Halfway through, I think it is very good at helping a newbie plunge into a level of comfort with being able to incorporate an expensive appliance right away, without shelving it out of intimidation. The camera work is good, and picture quality is great.” -Jo-Anne K.
“I want to use my Vitamix every day, I only use it maybe twice a week, although I do love it. I want to make more oil free sauces, food that is whole foods no oil added.” – Chris W.
“I bought a Vitamix for its obvious health benefits. My husband and I are members of an aging population (!) and we need all the help we can get to stay fit. However, without the training to take advantage of the many uses of the Vitamix, I do myself and my husband, Sam, and an injustice. I’m really eager to learn, Lenny.” -Cecelia B.
Why this class exists (a note from the instructor)
It’s the most common things I hear from Vitamix owners.
“I don’t use it enough. I should use it more.”
Not surprisingly, this is similar to what everyone else says.
“I’m afraid I won’t use it enough.”
And for a guy who uses his Vitamix several times a day, this kills me.
But I get it. There’s a bit of a learning curve and most people don’t have the time or energy to get over it on their own.
So instead of bring frustrated at people’s frustration (and fear), I decided to fix the problem.
Enter Vitamix 101
If I could invite everyone over for an afternoon and show them how to use their Vitamix the right way and easily make much more than silky smooth smoothies, I would.
This class, Vitamix 101, is the next best thing.
Step-by-step instruction and demonstrations for the whole family.
Best part is, students have lifetime, instant access. They take it over and over forever.
My Vitamix has changed my life. Hopefully this class, for others, helps do the same.
