If you stick to it religiously the results are absolutely undeniable.

This is one of those things that grinds my gears about programs like this.
There is nothing special about P90x.
If you work out as hard as they push you to as often as they push you to, and follow a balanced diet you'll see results.

There is nothing special or magic about their patricular plan, it's a motivational tool and nothing more.

I'm not saying using it is a horrible idea. If that's what motivates you and you see results, that's fantastic, and you should absolutely stick to it. But you absolutely do not have to stick to it to a T to see results as good as they promise. If you maintain the intensity and frequency that they push, you'll stay right on track.
