As a hacker who codes all day and likes to understand how things work, I don't find this particularly enticing. I'm not particularly interested in paying for something when I don't even know what I'm going to get, how it works, what it's track record is, etc. Furthermore, you're going to have a tough time competing with all the stuff I can get for free or the much more well known things that I can pay for.

HackerBody workouts are 100% free. We require people to make an account because we're launching some really cool stuff soon that requires one.

It would be great if you said this somewhere prominently before needing to sign up for an account. Once I saw the "refund" section near the top of the Terms and Conditions, I closed the window, assuming that you'd be asking for a credit card number.

100% make this clear from the outset. I "stopped" at the create account screen because I didn't want to go through the trouble just for some teaser videos. I hopped over to the hn comments to find out what the deal was.

Hopefully helpful feedback from someone interested in this kind of thing:

1) I was assuming "Get Started for Free" means there's a free trial followed by a subscription fee type service.

2) It would go a long way to have a little more content (in terms of pics or specifics about the program) to tease sign-ups. The sign-up wall came a little too soon, before I felt interested enough to continue.

Well, I was chased off by the signup. Maybe I'm not your target market, but I'm unlikely to sign up until I'm pretty convinced that it's something I'm interested in.
