This workout is mind blowing on all aspects. For someone who's barely on day 2 out of 30, i can already feel the results. I'm sweating to a whole new level. You know how it feels to go on a water ride at an amusement park and the water gets into your shoes and wets your sock and every time you take a step you squish water? Yeah, replace the water with sweat!! I'm barely at day 2 out 30, come on now, I can already GURANTEE this will give me results. It's a big improvement to Asylum volume 1, this workout actually makes me feel like an athlete. VERY IMPORTANT, THIS WORKOUT IS NOT, I REPEAT NOT!! FOR BEGINNERS. Atleast complete a round or two of Asylum volume 1 to begin this, and that might not even be enough. The bottom line, this workout is DEFINITELY NOT for beginners, the results are guaranteed, get ready to make a slip & slide out of your own sweat.
Additional Programs: P90X P90X2 Insanity: The Asylum Volume 1
Pros: Very effective, Met expectations, improvement from asylum 1, music!, results asap, new moves
Cons: 30 days is not enough., demand more.

The workout is awesome, and the moves in the Insanity: The Asylum 1 become the foundation of Insanity: Asylum 2. The workout is intense enough and probably not for beginner at all because of its complex movement. Shaun T is very motivating me to do these workouts even it's difficult. I almost dropped out in the middle, but I choose to stay until it's finished.

Pros: Very effective, Met expectations, enough time
Cons: the movement is too complex for beginners

I tried the Asylum 1 and liked it very much but the second asylum is excellent. It added alot more weights. The athletic component is the best part of the program. I look forward to seeing the hybrid with insanity.

This review is for all Insanity Programs.
I have Insanity, and Insanity Asylum 1&2. I have been training for 20+ years. I am 5'10, 220lbs, with low enough body fat to see abs, not bone shredded, but lean. My body excels at size and strength naturally. I have done mainly weight training and cardio until about a year-ago. I am a Marine Infantrymen, and now Law Enforcement.
I have Insanity, and Insanity Asylum 1&2. I have been training for 20+ years. I am 5'10, 220lbs, with low enough body fat to see abs, not bone shredded, but lean. My body excels at size and strength naturally. I have done mainly weight training and cardio until about a year-ago. I am a Marine Infantrymen, and now Law Enforcement.
Anyone with knowledge about the type of body needed for my job knows, that bulky weight training and basic cardio will not cut it. I have to be able to run a 1/2-mile as fast as possible with full gear. Then, wrestle with someone for who knows how long. You have to be explosive and most of all, able to handle your own body-weight up over fences, through alleys, etc. Bodyweight training keeps me strong, while keeping me functional.
I had P90x, returned it, it is too easy, low intensity, and intensity is what creates results. Insanity is the closest I can get to a bootcamp style training/MMA conditioning program in my home. Anyone serious about training realizes that intensity is a key component.
Insanity programs are not for the weak, but for the serious professionals that crave intensity, which in turn, create a truly functional body.

It is about time someone put it onto DVD, as is not afraid to say, “Intensity,” is what changes you. Not this wimpy mindset of exercises seen on most dvds and in gyms. Anything less, is well, a subpar you.
As long as Shaun-T keeps producing intense products, I will keep buying. If he gets too technical and starts the stand on one leg with eyes closed holding a ball in one hand, I will not buy the next program. I have to breathe hard, and break a sweat.
Intense training is the only way to a real body and performance. If you cannot commit to that, then you are settling for a weak you.
Keep to real life training.
Pros: Very effective, Met expectations, for the strong.

I love how he uses more the agility ladder and more weights, and at the end of EVERY workout he uses a burnout to test your skill and mental toughness. I saw a big change in my muscles quickly! If you did Asylum Vol. 1 I encourage you to try Vol. 2
Pros: Very effective

This program is very motivating, it gets you pumped and wanna push hard in the workouts! Shaun T has gone completely nuts but in a good way. It isn't like volume one where its continuous cardio because there are breaks in between moves in the volume 2 workouts, but overall very good program.
Love the X- Trainer because it gives you a full body workout
Upper Elite- A workout to work the upper body big time! No wonder it's called upper elite, Shaun T goes nuts in the second half of the workout!
Power legs- Definetely a leg worker, one of my favs in the series and very motivating!
Back n Six Pack- Like this one more than the original Back To Core in volume 1. A good sweat is worked up by the end of this.
Championship& Sudden Death Overtime Fit Test- It's what you've worked for all week long to get to this day! Going through all different types of sports and putting your training to the test! It's not as high intense then gameday from volume 1 but harder in a different way! The OT is where you take your fit test, Shaun gives you a certain amount of time to push your body to the limits! Doing a sequence in your ladder that is killer awesome!
Day Off- A very relaxing workout no crazy heart rate, just stretchin the muscles and takin er easy!
Ab Shredder- One of the most intense ab workouts i have ever done, its like a high cardio workout only working the abs! If you eat right and do this a couple time a week it won't be long till you start seeing your six pack pop!

Overall I love this program and I got awesome results, you will build lean muscle and it is very entertaining and fun! I do hope they continute making more asylum programs and continue to build this further! I recommend this to anybody looking for a serious athletic challenge to get you in the best shape of your life! Come on people lets get into shape, it's only 30 days!! Push play and Dig Deep!!!!

It was by far, more challenging and harder than Volume 1. The moves were very complex and hard. There was more weight lifting in it and definitely gets you more like a professional athlete. It was intense and had you dripping in swear like Volume 1. Plus, it has an shredder, which is the hardest an workout I've tried. It's My favorite Beachbody program and, in my opinion, is much harder than P90X2 and 1 and any others. However, the only thing that made Volume 1 harder was the continuous cardio, whereas in volume 2, the breaks between sets moves were a bit more at times. Asylum 2 is by far my favorite!
Pros: Very effective, Met expectations, intense, complex and challenging.

I have done the 60 days of Insanity and got into great shape but still didn't get that ripped look I was looking for. I did 30 days of the Asylum and started to lean out more and become stronger. I started Volume 2 and finished the whole program and loved it!! I looked forward to doing these DVDs because they are extremely challenging and fun! Shaun T is funnier but tougher than ever. After every week you realize the program gets harder and harder, but you body gets stronger and stronger! I am almost done with my second round of Volume 2 and can not believe how far I have come in such little time. I look, feel, act, and perform like an Elite Athlete.

DVDs misnamed, not challenging compared to vol 1

JOG

I have discovered that most of my DVDs in the Insanity Asylum 2 are misnamed- while I think I have all of them, the upper body workout, for example, is actually the legs workout and the back and core workout is actually the upper body workout, etc. Worse than that, and very disappointing, however, none of the workouts pose as much as a challenge as the Asylum 1 or the Insanity workouts. I have done the three longest of the 7 workouts and have barely broken a sweat, whereas the max Insanity workouts and the Game day workout from Asylum 1 were great workouts. I was really looking forward to having more challenging workouts to do to mix it up. A bit disappointing.
Additional Programs: Iinsanity, Asylum, some P90X and P90X2
Cons: Did not meet expectations

Asylum Volume 2 is the perfect sequel to Volume 1. I love the challenges of the new program (especially the variation of sports in the championship fit test program)! Shaun has definately stepped it up and he forces you to step it up as well.
The ab shredder workout proves once again that you can get an incredible ab workout in less than 20 min without doing any crunches!!
As always, Shaun T and the crew don't disappoint.
This program is on the top of my list!!!
Thanks Shaun T and Beachbody!!

All of the adds claimed Asylum Volume 2 would be more challenging than Volume 1. In some ways it is. Volume 2 has trickier agility sequences, and a greater variety of exercises. It is also more comprehensive in that all areas of the body get more focused strength training. I think it is an improvement over Volume 1 in this, but, to be honest, it is not more difficult in terms of brute physical demands on the body. Volume 1 is harder in that sense. But this is a good thing. To make any workout more strenuous than - say - Vertical Plyo from Volume 1 is simply not realistic. Lets face it, Volume one hit the limit of Insanity. Anything more strenous would overtrain and simply not be doable. Volume 2 got a reality check. The warm ups have been toned down so that they feel and function like actual warm ups. In Volume 1, particularly Vertical Plyo, the warm ups were as intense as a full blown workout. This really isn't a warm up, which is meant to ease you into a workout. In Volume 2, the warm ups are much more reasonable. The really hard work is saved for the actual workout where it belongs. The workouts are just as hard as Volume 1, but seem to be paced better. In Volume 2, I feel like Shaun knows exactly when the right moment is to switch from a really intense exercise to another one that is less strenuous but that demands more agility or mental focus. The workout is still Insane, but balanced, and well thought out. It is also perhaps Shauns most creative program. There isn't that much new under the sun when it comes to this kind of workout, and yet, Shaun managed to find innovative variations and combinations that feel fresh and entertaining but that somehow manage to also stick to the basics which work the best. And he doesn't repeat the same kinds of workout we got in Volume 1. Back to Core is very different from Back and 6 Pack, for example. I am very glad to have both Volumes. Finally, the workout schedule makes a lot more sense than the one from Volume one, which strikes me as somewhat random. The weekly rotation in Volume 2 is clear and simple and gives each body part plenty of rest between workouts. The one ammendment I am making is to switch the second stretch day with the agility tutorial followed by Pure Contact. This helps with learning the moves, but also, these 2 workouts go nicely together as a cardio workout that is light enough to go on a recovery day. But otherwise, I like the new schedule so much that I am thinking of alternating between Volume 1 and 2 every week following the same schedule each week for each program. The Volume 1 weekly rotation would be
Day 1 - Speed and Agility
Day 2 - Strength
Day 3 - Vertical Plyo
Day 4 - Back to Core
Day 5 - Relief
Day 6 - Game Day and Overtime
Day 7 - Off or Athletic Performance Assenssment
Day 2 - Strength
Day 3 - Vertical Plyo
Day 4 - Back to Core
Day 5 - Relief
Day 6 - Game Day and Overtime
Day 7 - Off or Athletic Performance Assenssment
This way, we can do one week of Volume 1, and one week of volume 2. I think I would prefer this to one of those rather random looking hybrid schedules.
All things considered, this program is an improvement over the last Insanity programs. Shaun T seems to be learning and refining his workout structure. The way things are going, if there is going to be a Volume 3 I am so going to buy it the second it gets released!
