Thanks for your replies.

No shipping notice for me, the order still shows "processing" and when I opened the actual order - there is no tracking number. I ordered on the 18th. I had problems with my last order from them, and I hope I don't have any problems again this time.

ok I just did the arms one. Seriously, if they didn't have the PB logo in the background I would never think these are PB workouts. They are so different from their other offerings. They blow them out of the water. I took live classes for a few months and they blow the classes out of the water!

I really can't rave about these enough. They are the BOMB!

Intriguing. I love barre workouts and love the original Pure Barre, but not so much any of their later offerings. I also love Ballet Body and P57. What makes these so special? Super challenging? More creative moves? Just curious what makes them different because the clip doesn't look like anything new.

They have a very P57 feel to them. I find them rather challenging and definitely more creative moves. I haven't seen many of the moves in any other barre workouts I've done.

I really love the new "Results" workouts and I am definitely going to do a rotation of all 4 of them once I finish my 21DF/Beast hybrid.
Sounds great ---but how quad intensive was it? Too many barre workouts can over work the quads and leave an unbalanced feeling in the other areas. Do the hamstrings/inner & outer thigh get worked in proportion?

Was the arm workout more of a total body workout (with arm emphasis) or really just 60 minutes of arm toning? The clips made it look like they are more total body (which I think is great).

That they seem very P57 sounds awesome to me. (Although I love the calmer Pure Barre feel as well). I might be close to getting all four!

Oh definitely total body with emphasis on arms. You do arms with thighs (KILLER), arms with seat (push ups on the wall while working your seat) and arms with abs. Lots of push ups (as I expected), some nice tricep work as well. Typically with PB I always felt the upper body work was lacking and this has a nice emphasis and hits all the parts. I used my 3lb and 2 lb, but for some of the moves I could definitely use my 5lb and work up to 8lb. For the lying side butt work on the floor I used none

Don't get me wrong, they are not frantic, but the fact that they are combination moves is very P57ish. They are not as fast paced, but the moves are fresh and I think the combining is what makes me think of P57.

How do these compare to the Studio Series? I love the original and Pershing Square 2, but the others are not really enough of a challenge.

Just as an aside, it would be nice for them to sell a download for $20 instead of a year of streaming for that price. It seems a bit unfair to charge nearly the same price for something that can be kept for only one year.
