I love Cathe, of course!
I love Amy Bento. She has fast become one of my faves for weights, hi/lo, step, etc...She starts shipping her newest this week and I ordered all three. Check out the clips. They are nice and long. Amy puts up clips BEFORE her preorder ends, and they give you a nice feel for the content and flow of the workouts and the type of music used. Every instructor should put up clips like this in my opnion and they should put them up before the presale ends:

I love Kelley Coffey Meyer's Step Boxing and have just ordered her two newest. Another Step Boxing and a circuit workout.
I think the TLT's (Tracie Long Training) balance out my heavier weight work b/c they are functional.
Jari Love is someone I enjoy for a different type of weight training. You can find most of her stuff at Ross for WAY cheap if you just stop in and check every now and then. I've never paid full price for her stuff.
I like Sharon Twombly's two circuit workouts...All Body Attack and All Body Cardio.
I love Absolute Kickboxing by Kimberly Spreen. It's not heavy weight work but there is some work with a body bar.
I don't care for Tracey Staehle's style of weight work but I love her original step workout and her core work is spot on.
Those are some of my faves besides Cathe and I have found it helps me a great deal to mix up the variety and the instructors. CIA produced some fun cardio routines in his latest batch with realy fun, inspiring music.
Sorry, I know you asked for weight work. I'll shut up now. My point is, variety DOES help...it helps me anyway!
