I've never actually done the Insanity workouts. I've had a lot of my athletes who have and from what I understand, there are a lot of similarities in the types of movements, such as body weight movement, and in the high intensity aspect.
I think they differ in that P90X tends to be more cardio-intensive while CrossFit incorporates a little heavier weights for strength and power as well as novel movements, such as rope climbs, Olympic lifts, sled pushes, tire flips, etc that you don't have easy access to at home.
You do P90X now? How do you like it? I'm all for it, if it's what motivates you and gets you excited to workout. Thinking about trying a CF box?
Another difference between them is the Community you get by being part of a CF gym. They drive you, encourage you, hold you accountable. And, the coaching is a key difference, having someone correct you if your moving poorly, avoiding injury, and pushing you when you start to "phone it in".
