We tried Shaun T’s latest workout for our Transform 20 review! The 20-minute step workout challenges your mind and body to push past its limits and see maximum results in just 6 weeks. We’ve also included a sample workout below! *Updated May 2020*
Transform 20 helps you blast fat and flatten your tummy to get leaner in just 6 weeks!
Shaun T has compared this workout to being like Insanity – but on a step. It also promises to burn about the same amount of calories as Insanity Max 30 in just 20 minutes! While it’s challenging, you don’t have to be super coordinated in order to do it.
What is Transform 20?
Transform 20 combines HIIT training, resistance, and flexibility workouts to help you burn fat and get shredded. Every 20-minute workout uses a workout step to increase intensity and burn more calories.
If you’re looking for a program to help you lean out, this is definitely a great choice because it’s quick but effective.

Who is Shaun T’s Transform 20 for?
Transform 20 is perfect for someone:
- looking for an intense workout that’s quick
- that loves Shaun T’s workouts
- wants to tone up and get shredded
- anyone looking for a no-excuses workout
- that loves full-body workouts using no weights (just body weight!)
How hard are the Transform 20 workouts?
I’m not going to lie – Transform 20 workouts are killer. There is a lot of jumping and endurance-style moves that will have you soaked in sweat in under half an hour.
The moves are pretty easy to learn, but the pace he has you do them is what makes it so hard. There are no breaks, and as soon as you think you’ve got your pace down he adds in a “Transformer.”
What’s a Transformer?
It’s a single move that Shaun T wants to you go all-out on for 1 minute. He’ll have you do 3 “Transformers” in each workout.
Ab crunches on your step or mountain climbers are two examples of Transformers.
Can Beginners Do Transform 20?
Yes, beginners can do Transform 20. There is a modifier in every workout. Keep in mind the workout is intense though. Beginners should always go at their own pace and not worry about keeping up with the advanced exercisers in the workout.
What equipment do you need for Transform 20?
- A Workout Step (included or grab this one)
- Free Weights (Here are a few we like)
Can you use any step for Transform 20?
You’ll either want the step seen in the picture above or the equivalent. If the Amazon step is sold out, here are a couple more step options available on Amazon – 1 Step and 2 Step.
All 3 are very similar to the Beachbody one. You can also order the Beachbody step here.
Shaun T has said it doesn’t matter what type of step you use; however, we’ve found that most people liked using the Beachbody step or one with the same dimensions.
The Transform 20 step is 11″L x 27″W x 4″H.

Does Transform 20 have a modifier?
Yes! The modifier does each move without the step. He or she does jump during some of the moves – making this a high-impact workout at points.
You can always stick to low impact moves though. You’ll intuitively know how to remove the jumps because the moves are pretty routine to master good form.
Transform 20 Cast & Music Details
There are 5 women and 4 men in each of the workouts, and you see the same cast members each day.
The music in the program is kind of annoying.
It’s normal workout music if you’ve done home workouts before, but Shaun T has these annoying voice-overs in each “song.”
He’ll say things like, ‘Your transformation begins now‘, and ‘Get ready to transform your life,‘ over and over. This got old fast for me.
Transform 20 Results
The results of this program shocked us! They are so amazing!
Each of these before and after photos are after just 1 round of the program. They also did not use the bonus strength workouts; however, they are still a great choice to incorporate.
Check out all of the Transform 20 before and after photos.
How long is the Transform 20 program?
Transform 20 is a 6-week program broken down into three 2-week phases. You’ll workout 6 days a week for 20 minutes a day.
How many calories do you burn with transform 20?
I burned between 160-200 calories per workout. Your calorie burn will vary based on your heart rate and physical size. The most accurate way to track your calories burned is with a heart rate monitor or fitness watch.
Transform 20 Workouts
The workouts are exclusive to Beachbody on Demand.
Just like 80 Day Obsession and LIIFT4, Transform 20 was filmed in real time and each workout is unique!!
You should expect to work every large muscle group with a focus on the legs — the big calorie burner!!
We’ll definitely be taking a pre-workout to power through!
The program will advance both physically and mentally.
Mentally?? Yup!
Shaun T put a lot of emphasis on conquering your body and mind in this program.
There are 3 Transform 20 Phases
We know the 6-week program will be broken down into three 2-week phases.
The 3 phases are called Commit, Climb, & Conquer.
You’ll be doing a similar workout each day of the week; however, each one is shot separately. This means you won’t have to do the exact same moves or memorize any of the workouts.

Do you know if Transform 20 will have music? I didn’t really like how LIIFT4 and 80 Day Obsession didn’t have the music.
The prep workouts we have so far have music. It’s like Shaun T talking inside the music too, lol! It’s pretty cool!! So I’m crossing my fingers that the whole program will! I prefer it in the workouts versus a playlist too.
With beachbody membership do you then simply wait until April 1st to stream Transform 20. More importantly – Can I stream from both Canada (where I live) and USA (where I spend 6 months of the year)
You can stream anywhere, and yes – Transform 20 will pop up for all members on April 1st! So not too far off now! :)
