I just ordered TurboFire to add to my at home workouts. Anyone love it? Hate it? I am not ready for Insanity, so I decided TF might be the way to go for now.

    Crappy music (the soulless, mindless variety of noise called house music), overly complex choreography with camera angles that switch around too fast to grasp the moves.

    However. There are people who swear by it. If you can get the moves down and can stand the music, it should be very effective. I happen to be bad at dancing, and still swear by rock music, so maybe you won't have the same issues. The BB reviews are all really good, but I gave up after 3 weeks for the reasons mentioned.

    I love Turbo Fire! It helped me lose close to 90 lbs back in 2011. I did the 20 wk schedule first then the 12 wk schedule after that. I was very faithful to the program b/c I saw great results from it. I also watched and logged what I ate --- high protein/low carb. Lots of water ---no diet soda ever (too much sodium). I've kept the weight off through running and doing other BB programs. Going through T25 now and love it.
    But Turbo Fire has a special place in my heart b/c Chalene Johnson is very motivational to me. And I was so busy trying to keep up with the choreography and paying attention to the cues that it made the workout time pass faster. I credit TF for making me fall in love with fitness. I truly look forward to exercise now! It's MY time --- and I enjoy it now!! TF helped me to change that mindset.
    Good luck with it! Give it time to adjust to the fast paced energy- choreography. Just keep moving and it will get easier week by week ... you'll get stronger and you'll see results!

    @witchdoctor, thanks for the info. Rock is my love, but I don't mind soulless dance music. It serves its purpose to get me moving. :)

    @runamym, Thanks and congrats on your loss! I'm pretty excited about trying it. I've read more good than bad things about it and I have a friend who LOVES it. She's doing P90X now, but that's WAY over my abilities at this point and time. heh

    I know a ton of people that LOVE that program. I even was able to work out with Chalean Johnson in Vegas last year. I am an ex Beachbody coach, and really do love their products. Today I am starting Insanity for the first time. TurboFire wasn't for me, but to each their own. What matters most is that you find what you LOVE to do. You can be successful at any form of working out, as long as you love what you are doing. For example, I love bike riding and going for walks with my neighbor. I also enjoy pool aerobics. Keep up the good work at working out, and happy sweating!

    I have a friend who is on month 2 of Insanity and she freaking loves it. I know that's too much for me right now, but TF looks "fun" if that's possible. LOL My gf who did TF before says it's absolutely fun and she followed the 20 week program. She didn't need to lose much weight (10lbs) but she firmed up and lost 2 sizes!

    I ordered then asked because it has a money back guarantee... :) I have read several online reviews and heard from some friends, but I thought I'd post here to see if anyone else had any experience with the programs.
