The workout is very good. There are LOTS of plyometric bits, and TONS of core-strength pilates inspired work in there. It kicked my abs, and I consider my abs to be pretty strong.

The ab stuff was very unique and different from what I usually see, and so it really commanded my full attention and interest. The bootcamp session had its own core strengh workout with really fun stuff, as well as some tough pushup combinations and a bunch of plyometrics.

All in all, I'd give it an A, despite the annoyances of the kickbox section. It wasn't powerstrike, but the routines were pretty decent.

Instructor Comments:
I have a weird ambivalence about her. She comes across as caring and nice, and she is very graceful and strong. But she is SUCH the dancer, that I found it distracting to watch her do the kickboxing stuff. I had to watch the background exercisers who weren't dancy at all. She was annoying in the sense that she shouted out "Ho!" a lot, which is something that always annoys me.

But during the bootcamp she was much better at avoiding the weird sounds, and I loved her during the ab work and stretching. She was soothing and very very good.
