versus gym workout alternative

Sagi Kalev is Beachbody’s bodybuilding ace.

The trainer is a two-time Mr. Israel victor and world-renowned bodybuilder known for his corny Sagi-isms and no-nonsense routines.

He also created two of Beachbody On Demand’s hottest weightlifting programs.

Kalev single-handedly launched Body Beast back in 2012 and later released Hammer & Chisel in 2015 — a tag-team effort alongside trainer Autumn Calabrese.

But between Body Beast and Hammer & Chisel, which Sagi Kalev program is best?

Shaun T’s Insanity franchise remains one of the most popular best-sellers on the entire Beachbody platform. (Second only to Tony Horton’s record-setting P90X series.)

Now a decade or so since their release, Insanity fanatics still sing praises for both the original Insanity (2009) and its second installment — Insanity Max 30 (2015).

Both of these high-impact programs shred fat, build endurance, and guarantee a more aesthetic physique in a few months’ time.

But between Insanity and Insanity Max 30, which is best? Or does it really not matter which of these Shaun T programs you try?

P90X3 and Focus T25 are popular Beachbody alternatives for the P90X and Insanity “rejects.”

The guys who don’t have the time to train 60–90 minutes per day because, honestly, who does? Or those who feel winded after running ½ mile or tap out after just a few push-ups.

Both P90X3 and Focus T25 will help the intermediate crew shed pounds and improve their overall fitness. But which one is better for weight loss?

If we learned anything from GTA: The Trilogy and Batman v Superman (2016), it’s that reboots very rarely do the original justice.

Yet, P90X3 and Insanity Max 30 prove that isn’t always true. In fact, some regard them as better than the OG versions they evolved from — Tony Horton’s P90X and Shaun T’s Insanity.

Both of these routines are standalone programs requiring 5+ half-hour workouts per week, minimal equipment, and advanced training experience.

But between P90X3 and Insanity Max 30, which is best?

Tony Horton’s P90X franchise has turned living rooms across the globe into makeshift gyms for the last 15+ years.

But the total body transformation series isn’t a 3-step program like it seems.

P90X2 follows the OG P90X, but it’s not necessarily a prerequisite. P90X3 is its own standalone program separate from the two “prequels,” but if you start with any program, make it P90X3.

Are you confused yet? Us, too.

Below, we’ll explain the differences between P90X, P90X2, and P90X3 (because the names certainly don’t make it clear enough!).

Beachbody On Demand is home to dozens of streamable training programs for just about every fitness goal, experience level, and time commitment imaginable.

But none of its 40+ programs create a decade-long buzz quite like these three:

• Tony Horton’s P90X
• Shaun T’s Insanity
• Sagi Kalev’s Body Beast

Each of these best-selling Beachbody programs sculpts a more aesthetic physique through near-daily high-intensity training. Yet, between these three options, which is better?
