It could be a life changing experience but beware, it is not for the faint hearted!

OR:
It will be a life changing experience but beware, it is not to everyone's taste!
Peer comment(s):

neutral writeaway : unless you know the actual context, you are being too specific-no clue is given about what it is-could be a vigorous rubdown at a beauty farm :-)

agree HelenY : it may be too specific, depending on context, but it reads very well, and I think "beware" is the best rendering of "attention" here

That will change your life, but - take heed! It's not for everyone.

Nothing new here except "take heed!" I think it captures the urgency in the original.
