Made me fall in love with weight training by Leanne (San Diego, CA)  5 Stars
October 18, 2009
I'd always dabbled a bit with weight training in the past, but this workout was what got me serious about lifting weights when I first bought it about three years ago. Before then, I would lift weights at the gym every now and again, but never really enjoyed it too much. When I decided to start working out exclusively at home, this workout was the first advanced weight-training DVD I bought, and Cathe's wonderful personality and great form pointers turned me from a cardio junkie into a weight-lifting junkie.
Like other reviewers have mentioned, you need a lot of equipment to do Cathe F.'s workouts, but once you have the equipment, her workouts are top-notch, and this is another phenomenal workout.
Since this workout hits every major muscle group, it's a good workout to use if you're new to lifting weights or if you're starting to get more serious about weight lifting, as I was. After doing this workout two to three times a week for a few months, I then bought her three Gym Styles DVD's, which are more advanced than Muscle Max since they split the body parts into separate workouts.
Cathe is my favorite DVD workout instructor, and I can't recommend this workout highly enough. Her videos are more expensive than other instructors, but they are definitely worth it! The variety of premixes you get and the outstanding production qualities make all her workout DVD's fantastic.

Cathe does it again by Heather Neruda (Atlanta, GA)  4 Stars

This is a tough workout for sure. I am not a big fan of the resistance band, but the workout is challenging and thorough.

great workout even without a barbell set by K. Becerra (Sacramento, CA) 5 Stars
September 12, 2009
I have yet to purchase a barbell set however, this is still a great workout using dumbells. Cathe's series are my favorite.

Great product for the price by Toad 5 Stars
September 11, 2009
I love working out with Cathe! And this DVD didn't disappoint me! It's challenging and fun all the way through. Additionally, you can choose to do the entire work out or segments of it if you're short on time. That's a very nice feature! I recommend this DVD to anyone wanting to step up their workout routine and challenge themselves.

Great video for at-home strength workout by E. Eddy (Denver, CO) 5 Stars
June 14, 2009
I've really enjoyed doing this workout since I purchased it. I only have the band and dumbells (not the step or barbell requested) and have been able to complete the workout pretty well. I am a really big fan of Les Mills' Body Pump class at the gym, but have recently moved to an area where that class is not available. This is the best alternative I've been able to find for that class!
