Not rocket science but helps with motivation
"I've only tried this workout once so far and its definitely not rocket science especially if you have read any of Chis Carmichael's training books. It's also worth bearing in mind that the workouts are based around HR or power so if you don't use either of these, this DVD is no good for you.
However, if you generally suffer from a lack of motivation on the turbo (I do), this is quite a handy DVD. I was able to keep up a higher intensity than I would otherwise and the visual display of how much of the interval is left to go was nice. It's a simple way to add structure to your training.
It's quite Lance-centric and might be a bit much for some people. If you're anti-Lance don't bother with this DVD, it will only annoy you.
I would consider buying some of the other titles from this range.

TT training bible
"This DVD gives a good work out for those who have been triaining for time trial for years or a few days as it is verry flexable. It is a good buy and while it is mentally tough (is as usual boaring on the stationary trainer) but this mental toughness this helps you out on the road and on race day."

"Only used this twice so far, definitely helped the time pass and provide structure to my training. Only reason for not giving it 5/5 is because some of the commentary will be repetitive (e.g. talk about Lance), albeit the overall purpose is met adequately."

Excellent training aid
Pros: Great Value, High Quality
"Riding on the wind trainer can be boring and doesn't always give you the training effect you want. The CTS DVDs are excellent to both structure your training and make the session less boring. This time trial DVD is hard work but worth it. I highly recommend it for people wanting to maintain fitness over the colder / wet months as well as those who are time poor and need to maximise training effect in a short period of time. Awesome training aid."

train right once
Pros: High Quality
Cons: Expensive, Not Enough Features
"Good training DVD, nice programme but only one session. The session is pretty good but once you've done it five or six times thats it. Bit twee with lots of 'Lance' refernces. For someone new to the sport or a discipline then very good but two or three sessions would make it a bargain. If it was half the price I'd be very happy but as it is with this price then satisfied."

Very useful in winter
Pros: High Quality, motivational
"I bought this product just before the big freeze of 2010 and it has meant that I have been able to train during the snow and ice all through the winter.
I don't think that you can beat training outdoors, but sometimes either the weather or time dosen't pemit. This allows me to train when the gorund is covered in snow, or during a lunch hour working from home.
It's feels much better to do structured training as opposed to just riding on the indoor bike with no particular purpose or goal.
The videos are very motivational and I always come off the bike dripping in sweat. This has enabled me to keep some level of fitness during the bad weather and it feels more realistic than spin classes, but I still wish it was summer and I was out in the hills!
If you can afford i would recommend buying 2 or 3 for the variety"

CTS Train Right Time Trial DVD
Pros: Great Value, High Quality
"These DVD's are great, if the weather is keeping you inside you can get on the trainer and still have a good session on the bike, the display tells you what cadence to pedal at and the intesity you should be aiming for with a stopwatch constantly counting down. The coach talking is a bit bland so have you ipod at the ready."

Makes your legs hurt
"I was very sceptical about this in the beginning. However, once you get over the americanism's and the constant referral to a Mr Armstrong (whoever he is???) and concentrate on the job at hand, you can really hurt yourself. The first time i did it, i couldn't get off the bike!! a good workout to keep you going through the winter or a bit of rehab."
