I gave this one a spin this morning before heading to work. Because I've had some muscle strain in my serratus, I did the PM w/everything but core. All you need for this workout is 8lb dumbbells, a plate (I used a ten lb'er), chair, mat, and firewalker band. The warmup was good and went fast. Loved the new hip opener moves at the end of it. Then into standing moves w/the 8lbers -- cardio movements are added in this section---and nothing was complex. Moved pretty quickly. The clip Cathe released gives you a good idea of what to expect, i.e., squat presses, lunges, jumping sumos (loved that one), etc. I think the chair/firewalker band section was next. I loved the quad work w/the chair & the weights---easy to do but you really feel it. I might amp up to a 10lb dumbbell next time. Then a speedskater firewalker segment (lateral and diagonal). It's a mistake to use your blue FW band the first time you do these, just in case your tempted. 
Floor/mat work was next, consisting of side/quad leg lifts w/the band. Then the barre segment--I give Cathe an A+++ for this one. I LOVED it. Works your quads beautifully, plus your calves. Lots of high & tights but w/variations.
Because this was my first time, I was more concerned w/keeping up, getting the moves down, than really focusing on firing my muscles (I have lazy right leg/glutes, so I really have to make sure my back isn't doing the work). I wasn't hurting too much during the workout but a couple hours later, I'm starting to feel the onset of some DOMS.
This one was excellent. It moved quickly, the moves were fun, the music was great, and of course, Cathe was fantastic, as was the crew. I have to say, that Marlo can squat really low!! Impressive.
