Hi There,
This is my review post about Tony Robbins UPW Virtual Event that I attended from 3rd June to 6th June 2021. Due to ongoing Covid restrictions, the event was held virtual, which means anyone from anywhere could attend it remotely from the comfort of their own home.
If you are deliberating whether to attend the next UPW event, then I just have only one thing to say Go For It !!! It's better if you attend the event without knowing too much about it :)
The Setup
I came to know about the event only a few days before the starting date and hence had to book the tickets in a rush. As it's an online event the ticket prices are substantially lower than in-person event plus you save a lot on travel, accommodation expenses etc. Tony’s team will send you a hard copy of the workbook where you will be doing all your exercises. As it takes around 2 weeks for that to reach your country, make sure you book tickets as early as possible. In my case, I used the online editable pdf version and my own notebook to do the exercises and that's absolutely fine as well
Once you have booked the tickets, you will receive emails with login details for Tony Robbin's portal access alongside access to a Telegram and FB group. It's important to signup for the FB group as 3 days prior to the event one of Tony's key trainers named KK will be providing all the relevant details to prep you for the main event. The way this was organized was great and it answered many questions that I had before joining the event. You can also speak with the support staff via FB messenger.
Few key points to note :-
- You will NOT receive any detailed schedule for e.g when does the event end each day, what time and how long are the breaks etc. More on this later
- During pre-event and in all posters they will say Tony will be there for 4 days. No, Tony will be there only for Day 1 and Day 3. But the other speakers are also good and I would suggest this shouldn't be seen as a bad thing.
- Each day of the event will last around 13 hours and hence please ensure you prepare your meals well ahead. Planning is key as you will not know when the break time will be and for how long. Tony preaches the concept of full Immersion and not following a scheduled start and stop.
- The event is held via Zoom and its a its a technology masterpiece where we had nearly 18000 users from 120 countries joining the event at the same time. There were some technical glitches but it was still very well managed.
- Users are divided into N number of Teams with around 350 people each. Each team had several trainers from Tony’s team who will help answer various questions related to personal development, programs etc. This setup was really good as you can interact with them throughout the program days and they were really helpful.
Day 1 — BreakThrough Day
I don't want to put any spoilers on what happens each day as you really have to experience it. Day 1 is with Tony and he covers most of the concepts you would expect from him and seen in earlier videos. You will be going into Peak state by dancing around like crazy !!! This was super fun.
There will be breakout groups where you will share your exercises with 3 other people from your team via skype. The Day ends with us breaking a wooden board symbolizing breaking our limiting beliefs
Day 2 — Momentum Day
As mentioned earlier Tony won't be available in person even though some of his older videos will be played during the day. The main host will be JM3 and Scott Haris. The topics covered on this day is primarily a buildup for Day 3.
Day 3 — Transformation Day
Tony is back and at his best. This is an unforgettable day — something you can't even imagine. The concept of Priming is really great and the Dickens Process will take you on a roller coaster ride. Children aren't allowed during this time (Dicken’s Process) as it will be difficult for them to go through this. So please plan accordingly. The part that I felt bad about is that the day ends with lots of marketing upselling for purchasing his other courses.
Day 4 — Vitality Day
This day is a bit of dead rubber. Huge upselling for all his other programs and you will be tempted to buy these expensive programs as they really connect with your emotional state as part of the selling strategy. I saw many emotional buyers signing up for these expensive programs and even though there is nothing wrong with it, I felt you need to take some time to learn and implement the contents of UPW first before jumping onto something else. Please do stick till the end, as the final session from Master Co was really good. No Tony on Day 4, not even in the last 10minutes to say GoodBye.
So, Overall Is it Worth it ?
If you are referring to price then you are missing the point. The value that you receive in this program in my opinion, is priceless. Just Day 3 alone is sufficient to change your life for the better. So go with an open mind, don't get angry/upset on all those upselling, focus on what you can learn and be prepared for long days. You will come out with a different mindset and strategies to tackle your life. Hope you found this useful.
