    Hey! I've only experienced Insanity and TurboFire. However, I haven't done Insanity or TurboFire the "whole way" meaning I didn't strictly follow the schedule but I used the videos (and still do) as part of my cardio exercise if I prefer to be working out inside that day.

    I honestly love them both however I find TurboFire to be more fun and more of a caloric burn. But that's just me. When I tracked my calories burned via my HRM for Insanity vs. the TurboFire HIIT 25 minute workout, I burned more per minute with TF than with Insanity. That's probably because I was doing the HIIT one so it got my heart rate up faster and in smaller intervals, but they're truly BOTH amazing programs.

    If you're looking for something totally transforming and have the time and energy to invest into Insanity (every single day or two months or however long it is) than I'd say go for it! If you want something more "fun" in my opinion, go TF. With TF the woman instructor is super fun and nice to listen to and makes the video go by far quicker than the Insanity ones go by in my opinion which leads to me being inconsistent with my workouts if I'm solely relying on Insanity.

    Ah sorry I began to ramble...hope I helped, haha.

    P90x is more of a strength resistance program. I just finished Insanity but haven't done turbofire. I lost 7.5 inches in my waist and hips apiece from insanity and lost 21 pounds and that was not even following the diet guide that went with them. I love insanity and will probably do it again soon. But if TF looks fun you might wanna give that a try. Insanity is insane just as the name implies but after I learned the exercises I loved it.

    I did turbofire for about 11 weeks and lost 16 pounds and 30 something inches. It gives off some pretty good results. :smile:

    I am currently doing TurboFire! It is a lot of fun. There are a lot of kicks and punches but it is set to music. I did Chalene's program Chalean Extreme prior to TurboFire. I lost 18.5 lbs and 19.5 inches with Chalean Extreme. I am hoping that TF takes off the last few pounds and that I lost more inches as well.
    I can't speak for Insanity, though I am sure I will be trying that one in the future.

    Turbo fire is alot of fun! You will be more inclined to stick with it if it's fun. Turbo fire scorches calories and you don't even feel like your working out!
