Is it possible to get really fit/toned from home workouts?

I'm doing lots of classes at the moment but resent the time wasted on travelling! I'd like to incorporate some home workouts but do you think they are as effective as classes?

Try bbs. Body by Simone.
It has a 2 week free trial on the app.
I'm really impressed by it so far (but I've only been doing it 2 weeks).
I like the fact you can mix and match which areas you want to work on and keep photos to compare before and after.
My main motivation is that I spent s shed load of money on weights and other gear Grin

I went from nearly 11 stone to 9 stone doing Lucy Wyndham Reid five nights a week each video of hers is 7 minutes plus there are longer and shorter ones haven’t cut out much food wise except full fat soft drinks . I did them for 7 months then stopped for 3 and back doing them and definitely notice myself as more toned and less flabby .

She's great.

I think OP it really depends on you and how hard you can push yourself at home on your own...in my experience in a class or working out at a gym you generally can bash out at least 2/3 more reps than you do at home, and probably do another set. It's just easy to give up or go slower at home, and you have no-one to check your form and so on.
But if you have good technique, find good enough workouts, and can push yourself to the limit each time then you'll probably be ok!
