I don't have CLX, so I can't comment on that.
I really love Cathe, but sometimes I get burned out on her. Not sure why. I was NOT a Jillian fan -- I even bought "30 Day Shred" and gave it away. A few months ago, I picked up her newest videos -- "No More Trouble Zones" and "Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism". I didn't "click" right away, but now I'm LOVING these! I even repurchased the Shred workout! Jillian doesn't yell in any of these, but she does push you. I'm seeing some great results. I hope she comes out with more workouts so I don't get sick of these. |

I haven't seen or done any CLX so can't say. What works for me is mixing everything up.
I don't really like Cathe but like her more traditional weight lifting approach as it is best for building strength. Jillian's method (and this high energy circuit training approach with light weights) gets results also. I sometimes like Jillian and sometimes can't stand her, depends on my mood. It's all good. I hate the idea of putting any exercise method or modality down. Things work in different ways at different times for everyone, although my general preference is traditional, but I like the other stuff sometimes as well. Results for me come when I am consistent in exercise, doesn't matter so much what I do. |

I cannot fully explain it and mean no offence to those who like her. I just got a strong feeling that I would not click with her style. Deb |

Haven't tried CLX yet, I'm waiting for my knee to heal. Chalene occasionally annoys me in her Turbo Jam series, but it's nothing serious.
Love, love, love Cathe's workouts. They are so fun and have really helped to change my body, but--I really messed up my knee doing LIC. It also bothers me that her low impact stuff is not truly low impact. Additionally, her dvds tend to be more expensive. I've done Jillian's stuff On Demand. Since her cardio moves are simple, you need to be really self-accountable and I don't think that I have enough self-discipline for that. Her workouts are great while I'm recovering from my knee injury, though because I can easily modify. I'm going to do a rotation of the Gaiam strong knees, TLT, walking and swimming through summer. For the fall, I'm planning Classical Stretch alternating with KCM. Hopefully, I'll be up for CLX in January. Then, I'll do lots of cardio and barre work to prep for next summer. |

Not trying to change your mind about liking Jillian or her workouts. They aren't for everyone. Just saying that I felt the same and totally changed my mind. She is now one of my favorite workout instructors!
