While I own nearly all the 30MTF workouts (apart from split sessions), I do agree that Kelley's weight work may be a bit risky. I think of it as being too new age-y but at least it is isn't complicated for complicated sake like Emily in Firm Burn and Shape or Power Half Hour. I like to stick to basics with weight work. I voted for Circuit Burn because the exercise style changes appeal to my low attention span and I really like the cardio/boxing segments in this workout.

I love circuits too; probably b/c they seem less boring. In no particular order:

1. Michelle Dozois - PeakFitness Cardio/Strength - this one slays me.
2. Michelle Dozois - Your Best Body Breakthru (using heavy weights)
3. Amy Dixon - SuperFit Body
4. Jari Love - Get Ripped 1000
5. Patrick Goudeau - HWC (the first one)

===
I'm surprised no one mentioned SuperFit Bod - I love it; easy on joints, easy to follow, good cardio, great cuing - very few pushups.

KCM -Circuit Burn - I still have it and tried it again fairly recently, but Circuit Burn didn't make my list either. I like KCM personality and like the 30 minute sculpt workout on the Lift DVD much more.

I like her better for cardio.
Agreed. I also find KCM's weight work iffy.

My favorite circuit workouts are Jari's GR1000 and GER1000.

Yes, yes, I forgot about Low Impact Circuit!

Jessica Smith's 10 Pounds Down Total Body Tune Up.

I also like Pump, Jump and Jab a lot. Kelsie's 500 Calorie Workout is great but some people don't like her cardio as they say she's off beat. I honestly don't notice stuff like that unless it's really obvious.

I also think Kelly's Powerscult on her LIFT DVD is great. I like Circuit Burn's Cardio/Boxing Premix but find the two circuit workouts repetitive.

Thanks for all the replies I am really into 10lb slimdown xtreme right now these workouts are great. I was also interested in Peak 10 as well.

Does everyone feel like they are burning more calories with circuit workouts?

I think I burn the same amount as straight cardio, but it doesn't feel as monotonous and I get some weight work in, too.
