Almost Perfect July 31, 2014 Reviewer: Jody from United States   This is one of my favorite Cathe DVDs.  It has a lot of variety so you never get bored.  It is similar to Crossfire, with the main difference being that the step is used in To The Max.  I think To The Max is slightly easier, but not by much.  You work really hard, but aren't exhausted and can't do anything else for the rest if the day.  Love the music as well-the "sound alikes" are a little different but still enjoyable.   The one thing I didn't like was that a lot of emphasis is put on shoulder work.  Towards the end of the workout there are two exercises that involve shoulder presses, which are then repeated, and then you go to the floor for ab work and you are doing more arm work by holding the weights.  It may not bother others, but I thought it was a little overkill. Cathe, as always, is a great instructor, and I love that her crew consists of healthy-looking fit women, instead of a bunch of models who look like they couldn't even lift a ten pound weight!

A Favorite July 16, 2014 Reviewer: Bells   To the Max and CrossFire are similar but different.  Both are definitely worth purchasing.  This workout has fun music, fun moves, a great variety to prevent any boredom, lots of premixes, great chaptering, variety of equipment.  Lots of metabolic or circuit style workouts don't get my HR up enough to make me feel like I got a good cardio workout - not this one.  I feel like it is definitely a great cardio challenge.

Tabata what a hardcore workout July 7, 2014 Reviewer: Michelle from Canada   I seriously love this one to push me to the MAX it really lives up to its name. I love that there are 3 different rounds of tabata even a round using the step. What a great challenge to the heart. You want a fun challenge with an amazing instructor, music and moves this is the one for you. Was this review helpful to you?

Hard even by Cathe's standards July 6, 2014 Reviewer: Anonymous Person from Pittsburgh   I think this is the hardest Cathe DVD I own. The 30/20 HIIT section is killer. The step portions used to bother my knees (lots of jumping on and off), but I put a mat under my step and that helped. I enjoy the music in this one -- it's similar to Cross Fire, but I like the music in To the Max better. This one is fun to do all the way through, but as usual Cathe also includes some great premixes and chaptering, so you can pick and choose the parts you want to do. Was this review helpful to you?

Fun Total Body Work-out! June 16, 2014 Reviewer: Susan from Alabama   This is a fun total body work-out with great music and instruction from Cathe Friedrich.  There's a step portion, a couple of tabata portions, compound strength portion, and floor strength and ab/core portion.  I definitely recommend this one!

Another Excellent vote from me! July 7, 2012 Reviewer: Angela (gigi or gogigi on the forums) from Greenville, SC United States   Like Cross Fire, what makes this a great workout for me is the premixes, the chapters making it easy to use one or several segments at a time, the bonus footage, the tunes, the constant change of movement so you are doing the same move endlessly. One flaw that may bother some more than others is the timer sometimes starts late so we've been doing step hop turns for maybe 3 to 5 reps and then the timer starts the countdown.  The timer is off or Cathe is off of the timer a bit in a few places but nothing that bothers me.  Right now I only use two risers for the entire workout but I want to move up to 3 risers per side when Cathe and  crew do, so I have something to work towards.   I think the sequencing is perfection and the moves while nothing necessarily new have a little twist with the discs and it has a new feel to me because you aren't doing one move for endless reps.
