I think most of us pretty much keep to ourselves in our check-ins.
I've been doing TA for over 1 1/2 years. Prior to TA I hated floor work with a passion. I love her floor work. I had a nasty fall over 5 years ago. I landed on our concrete steps. I have an indentation on my right butt cheek where I hit, and from the point of impact, my muscles atrophied due to the tearing. My orthopaedic surgeon said surgery was my only option, but TA has helped a lot! It's not perfect, but it's much better than what it was. I don't do TA exclusively. I do quite a bit of heavy strength work/body weight cirucits/ and kettlebell circuits. I think her workouts complement my existing strength work quite nicely.

I've had nice results with TA. I've been doing it almost exclusively for over a year.
My results: lots of compliments on my arms; looking leaner overall; getting a bit of a perky butt (though lots of things give me this); nice defined abs (not six pack, but the sort of signature TA ab look). The pros: I like TA and so I can stay with it, no serious DOMS, and her workouts don't kill my modest flexibility. I don't do the routine 9-10x. I probably do them each 7 or so. Sometimes less or more depending on whether I enjoy the particular sequence. Yeah, I should try to do what I don't like, but I'm just not into pushing myself these days. Right now I've changed things up and am adding some other stuff in. If I had a lot of time to workout, I'd probably just do TA (and do MS + a couple TA toning add-ons (like what Sarah does) + cardio). However, these days I have very little time. My current plan is this to do some cardio when I can (dance, rebound, walk / dance on my TM), but mainly to make sure I at least keep up with my toning goals (since I'm feeling a bit jiggly these days): Sun = TA MS (~30min) Mon = Jillian Ripped in 30 (~30-35min) Tues = Tonique Dynamic Sculpting 1 Chpt + Abs (~30-40min) Wed = TA MS (~30min) Thurs = Kickboxing (~30min) Fri = TA MS (~30min) Sat = Upper body + Dance (~50-60min) ETA: I don't think you need to do TA's cardio all the time. However, I would vary your cardio a little bit if you can. Are you planning on walking outside for 1/2 hour? or doing Leslie? I think TA's cardio (b/c it's high impact) works the quad and calves a bit more than low impact cardio. Since her toning workouts don't really hit the quads and calves, her cardio is somewhat designed to compliment the toning sequences. I would do some additional stuff - maybe some lunges and some impact.

I'm doing Omni, right around the day 270 mark. I hardly ever do cardio, maybe twice a month? I do the standard 10 days of muscular structure though. For me, the first two or so days, I'm still learning the moves, the middle days I'm still trying to get through all the reps, lol, and the final days I'm mastering them.
As far as results go, I lost 33 pounds and two pant sizes. I can't believe I'm going to print this, but I lost 5" off of each thigh! Plus 4 off of both my hips and waist.
