I just heard it's better than all the generic cardio gyms, but not been in there myself.
Did it take off so massively 10years ago though? It seems to only be "mainstream" these last few years
or maybe I've been ignorant for some time 
Trying to explain to someone that her fad diet probably isn't all that good and once she decides to finish the diet the weight she loses so quickly will most likely pile back on. Either that or ill side effects could result should the dieting continue long term. I was trying to explain how a well rounded diet, combined with cardio AND resistance training is so much better and will result in much more weight loss in the form of fat but being female (yes sexism intended) she doesn't believe me and responds with "but I don't want to be muscular" 
If only it were that easy eh!?

Ha m8 you've just started with the ignorance. U wait, I've seen it all. Now when people moan about their weight I look at them for a bit, do some pretend thinking. Then go 'no its probably just your metabolism dieting would just be a waste of [my] time'

The only thing that works in my experience is women being told by other women who do lift and look great. Bribery can work too - bet them that if they do what you say for 1 month they'll look feel better and if not you'll buy them some shoes or something.
There's a few women on MP who I try and use as references, as well as girls like that N.Irish chick off MyOMyTV but with the women's fitness industry being a bigger joke than mens and women's idea of 'dieting' being 'eat nothing', encouraging le pink dumbbell herp le derp - it's a minor miracle if you can get them lifting.
It's depressing because I see stuff like - this and think, do these girls only exist on the interwebz?! I know Stiv has that hardbody who goes to his gym but I've never seen any IRL.

lol Som, bribery is where its at. I have bribed my wife with a boob job haha. Shes been banging on about wanting one for years, so i told her to get to her target weight (she choose the weight not me, and shes only 8lb away, but has been 8lb away for years lol) and stay there for 6 months and be happy and i will pay for the op. Needless to say my money is safe for now.
i like your optimism with the "when" stoodles 
Until i can get in the gym with her and set her up a proper routine shes currently going in and doing what every other clueless gym zombie does.
