Hi Karen,
Shelley is right, there are alot of threads on Amy, but I just did BC for the first time on Monday so I thought I would share a current opinion.
Good workout, but not as intense as Cathe's BC. I also felt underworked on several body parts. The cardio is longer, but you do the same move over and over for 2 minutes, so I think that gets kind of tedious. Now, she does use alot of interesting moves, and her personality is really stellar, but I am in the mindset of using this workout on days when I want the cardio push but not necessarily the heavy weightwork.
Cathe's BC leaves me feeling worked out in all ways, more "completely" than Amy.
I also have Amy's new Cardio Pump hi/lo and Cardio Step Pump, which I think I like better, but they are shorter workouts. She does include premixes on these, so I think I can make these more intense.
JMO, but I hope it helps. These are not cheap workouts, I think people may have better opinions if she lowers the cost.
I know I would.;-)

I've only tried Amy's Advanced Step workout so far. The first time I tried it I did not like it all. I couldn't get most of the moves and it felt way too complicated for me; I thought for sure I'd be trading it. However, due to the high cost and the fact that it looked fun on her previews, I tried it again a few times. These times, however I did it AFTER I was done working out for the day and I worked on just one section at a time until I got them all down. Now I have to say that it's a really fun and intense workout. The moves don't even seem to be that complicated now that I've figured them out. It's extremely high impact, though (more so than Cathe, I think), so I've just got to keep an eye on my heel spurs when I'm doing it.

I borrowed Amy's BC and I have not been able to make myself do it again. It just didn't click with me. I need to return the workout b/c I just don't think I like it enough to give it another go. I would love to try the step one. I will keep an eye out for future workouts b/c she is listening to her customers and plans on longer workouts, louder music (I think), and premixes. I don't feel like every body part is worked in her BC...chest and another upper body part were left out (I don't remember which body part besides chest) but I didn't feel equally worked. I DID like the 2 minute cardio interval segments.

Tried it, didn't like it, wasn't challenged enough. I didn't like the music (what I could hear of it) and thought it was way over priced. I didn't like that she didn't work every body part and the 2 min drills were boring. And did I mention WAY too expensive. I did however like Billys Bootcamp Elite TaeBo with Bands - KA workout - you can get it Collage.

I workout everyday - I try to take one day off, but it's hard sometimes. I do cardio for one hour 6 days a week and lots of circut training 4x per week. I really like Cathe because she's so good at what she does and her workouts offer variety. I didn't like Amy, her workouts were too short and her form was terrible. I thought her step was dangerous and I just didn't click with her style. I'm so spoiled by Cathe, nobody compares.
