Does Insanity: Unhinged Work? Workout Reviews (Running List)

Insanity: Unhinged BODi Review – Does it Work?

My goal is to press play on every workout to let you know if this new Insanity program works! Based on the trailer, I suspect “Unhinged” will be similar to Hunter’s T-Minus 30 Tough Mudder program on BODi, which is a challenging bootcamp-style program (check out my detailed review HERE). The trailer also gives me 6 Weeks of the Work vibes; a definite challenge. My first impression is this program is less about Shaun T’s familiar Insanity program variations and more focused on total body bootcamp-style found with other BODi trainers. In other words, similar to the recent P90X Generation Next launch with Waz, Insanity: Unhinged is trying to take advantage of Shaun T’s Insanity brand recognition and less about maintaining the overall Insanity feel to the program. Even though Shaun T is the Executive Producer, I do wonder how much he was involved. Regardless, I suspect it is still a killer program. Let’s do this!

 

INSANITY: Unhinged is a 100-day hybrid fitness training program built to test your strength, speed, endurance, and grit. This is for anyone with an established fitness base who’s ready to put their limits to the test.

With 30-45-minute workouts, you’ll build strength, improve cardiovascular fitness, increase work capacity, and develop endurance for high-intensity training. Built by 3x HYROX World Champion Hunter McIntyre and executive produced by Shaun T, this program isn’t just about getting through another workout. It’s about finding out how much more you have in you.

Frequently Asked Questions

When will INSANITY: Unhinged be available?

All INSANITY: Unhinged workouts will be available on BODi November 12, 2026.

 

What supplements and nutrition are recommended with INSANITY: Unhinged?

Your supplements and nutrition plays a big role in your INSANITY: Unhinged results. And although not required, the right supplements can help you optimize your results and performance. They also give you the nutrients you need that can be hard to get through food alone. Our recommended supplements for this program are:

 

INSANITY Liquid Shock Energy Drinks: INSANITY Liquid Shock isn’t a polite pick-me-up. It’s built for the moments when you’re already running on empty and still need to perform. Each zero-sugar can delivers Triple INSANITY Energy—300mg of caffeine plus TeaCrine® and Dynamine®—three complementary energy actives designed to hit hard and hold longer than caffeine alone.

 

INSANITY Pre-Workout (Launching November 12): Powered by our Triple INSANITY blend, INSANITY Pre-Workout combines 360 mg of caffeine‡ with TeaCrine® and Dynamine®—three complementary energy actives designed to help you flip the switch, stay locked in, and bring serious intensity from the first rep to the finish. Beta-alanine, L-citrulline, creatine, taurine, and L-tyrosine round out the formula with support for energy, endurance, performance, strength, pumps, focus, and lean-muscle goals.

 

P90X Hydration Sticks: Water is essential—but it can’t replace everything your body loses. P90X Hydration delivers 1,155mg of electrolytes to help replenish key minerals your body loses through sweat and everyday life while supporting fluid balance, muscle function, and hydration.

 

Shakeology: All-in-one daily nutrition, Shakeology helps fill nutritional gaps, curb cravings and support digestion, energy and lean muscle with protein, antioxidants, prebiotics, greens, adaptogens, vitamins and minerals.

 

What equipment do I need for the workouts?

You just need dumbbells.

 

What program materials will I get with INSANITY: Unhinged?

 

Will there be a modifier for me to follow?

Yes, Hunter will demonstrate a modified move when needed.

 

Do you recommend I follow an eating plan while completing INSANITY: Unhinged?

Yes, we recommend Nutrition + Portion Fix – our two healthy eating plans that can help you reach your goals in a way that works with your lifestyle and keeps you consistent.

 

My goal with this detailed Insanity:Unhinged BODi Review is to both try the program AND create perspective for you to make a decision on leveraging Max Built for your health and fitness goals. Again, given that I am a Science guy, I will leverage heart rate analysis for each workout to draw conclusions and comparisons including the data in my perspective. This approach is similar to my popular reviews for P90X3, Insanity Max:30, Hammer & Chisel, 22 Minute Hard Corps, Body Beast, Country Heat, Core De Force, Shaun Week, Shift Shop, LIIFT4, Transform :20, 6 Weeks of THE WORK, 10 Rounds, 645, LIIFT MORE, Tough Mudder T-Minus 30, Chop Wood Carry Water, Dig Deeper, 25 Minute Speed Train, Power of 4, Dig In, P90X Generation Next, and Max Built. I have a Polar OH1 Bluetooth enabled heart rate monitor synced to my iPhone using the free Polar Beat Mobile App and Polar Flow. Warmup and cooldown time is typically included in the heart rate analysis. Add additional time to stretch if needed.

 

Nutrition is CRITICAL for getting the results you want with your fitness program and the targets need to be aligned with the clean eating system (Nutrition + Portion Fix recommended, but you may need to bump calories for mass gain depending on goals). My current supplements include the P90X Supplement System for maximum results with Shakeology and Beachbar snacks.

Insanity Unhinged Sample Workout

 

 

 

The Insanity: Unhinged sample workout is essentially one of the Competition Day routines, which reminds me of Hunter’s “Athletic Training Day” workouts from his Tough Mudder program. The workout begins with a warmup consisting of 4 moves at 60 seconds each. There are then 4 primary blocks of work at 2 rounds each followed by a short cooldown at the end. Block 1 is “upper body grind” with 6 moves at 40 seconds each; pushup to backstroke, single arm rotation row, front chest fly, ski back tricep kickback with pause, Arnold press, and front shoulder raise. Block 2 is “lower body grind” with 6 moves at 40-sec each; Goblet squat, side dumbbell lunge R, side dumbbell lunge L, ski hinge dual dumbbell raises, 90-90 dumbbell lunge, and clean and press. Block 3 is “full body assault” with 4 moves at 45-sec each; squat hops, surrenders to front jump, high knees to single arm bear, and plyo pushup to starter. The routine finishes up with a 90-sec “carry challenge”; “murder march” jog holding light dumbbells with 8-count alternating dumbbells in low position and raised position.

 

My heart rate data shows 549 calories burned in 46-min with average and max heart rates of 144 bpm and 173 bpm, respectively, with most of the workout in Zone 5. I used 15-40-lb dumbbells in this workout. Wow – 549 calories at 11.9 normalized cal/min! These numbers are at the higher end of some of the recent BODi programs like Shaun T’s Max Built and P90X Generation Next while at the lower end of what I measured years ago for Insanity Max:30. So, Insanity: Unhinged still appears to be an awesome challenge. Competition Day is particularly difficult since there are limited breaks where the dynamic pace between moves and blocks is fast. This is confirmed by the elevated heart rates throughout the routine with most of the session in the upper zones. The moves further focus on HIIT-based compound variations that challenge the total body. The weights add a dimension of toughness, but you need to make sure you are maintaining safety (e.g., murder march with dumbbells at the end). Some of the exercises require a pause or slow tempo to push the muscles to failure.

 

Overall, I do appreciate the attempt at a proper warmup and cooldown with this program, which has been clearly missing from some of the recent BODi launches like Max Built. Unhinged doesn’t feel at all like a Shaun T Insanity program, but it is still a great total body workout similar to Tough Mudder and 6 Weeks of the Work, as expected. There is some light background music in Competition Day, although it is hard to hear and not especially motivating, haha (better than nothing though). The cardio-based “full body assault” block has some similarities to the original Insanity titles. I enjoyed the sample and had sweat everywhere. This workout is NO JOKE and I was really finding myself exhausted at key moments where my heart rate red-lined. I can imagine it will be a true challenge to complete this program at 7 days a week for 100 days. I do understand Day 7 each week is a recovery day and I am looking forward to pressing play on those sessions. This appears to be an advanced level program, although I suspect modifications may potentially help for more intermediate levels. Recovery and proper nutrition will be absolutely critical for Insanity: Unhinged. Are you up for the challenge? JOIN US with my Insanity: Unhinged review!! DIG DEEP!!
