First RT and very excited

Where are you from and family: I'm from Birmingham, AL. lived here all my life. Married for 10 years in March. Met my husband at Golds Gym where I was the front desk girl. I have 2 kids, boy 5 yrs old and girl will be 9 in April. I have 2 schnauzers. A teacup/toy 10 years old named Kaylee and a platinum white that is 1 named Bristol. I'm a stay at home mom.

How you heard about Cathe: my freshman year in high school I got interested in fitness. Started out with the Buns Of Steel series with Tamilee Webb. After having my daughter I was ready to lose weight and start working out again. I started back with BOS and that just wasn't getting the job done. One morning I came across FitTV and there was Cathe! SHE got the job done and still does! I have compliments all the time about how I look and what I do.

Favorite DVD's: kickbox workouts! Brings back my karate days . I have a black belt too. I love all her workouts

Other interests: my favorite band is Chicago. I see them just about every year. I flew all the way to San Diego, CA to see their concert for my birthday 2 years ago and got to meet the band . I love tigers especially white ones. Last year for my birthday I got to spend an afternoon playing with 3 white tiger cubs! Sweetest animals! I have raised 2 squirrels. The first one we brought back to life pretty much after hurricane Katrina. Then the second one my husband drove to Huntsville to meet his sister that had found one. Those are very affectionate animals.

Fun Stuff: enjoying time with family and working out with Cathe

Previous Road Trips: Houston 2010, Disney 2011


Where your from and family: I am from a very small rural community near the coastal region of south Louisiana.



How you were introduced to Cathe / Forum Membership: I've been a Cathe fan since finding her on Fit TV. When I first viewed one of her workouts I thought to myself there was no way I could do an entire workout....but years later I've exceeded my own expectations.



Favorite DVDs/Videos: LOVE the new Low Impact Series!!! My favorite workout would have to be High Reps.



Favorite Step or other moves: Hip Hop and kickbox repeaters



Other Interests or Activities or Workouts: There is a small Karate Dojo in town where I enjoy kickboxing four days a week. It is one hour of pure adrenaline and I leave completely drenched but accomplished each night! I would like to one day enroll in an adult karate class.



Fun Stuff: My husband and I enjoy traveling around the country on adventure trips such as skiing or mountain climbing. We recently vacationed in Steamboat Colorado and enjoyed skiing and snowmobiling. We hope to return next year and try snowboarding!

I live in upstate NY. I was born there, lived in Boston for 10 years and somehow made my way back in the 90's I have an understanding husband, a very funny 8 year old, a large dog that sleeps for a living and 6 fish who do very little.

How you were introduced to Cathe / Forum Membership

Hmmm, A friend introduced me to Musclemax when I asked about strength training. I joined the forums in 2007 I think, Lurked for a bit, I'm still a lurker I guess.

STS, Body Max 2 will always have a space in the workout room, Imax2, 4DS, LIC retro and new, Afterburn, CycleMax all of them.




Favorite Step or other moves

hip hop repeater, sumos, box lunge, any turny step thing, mambo, reverse V step, round the world and other moves....jab, cross, hook, upper (just gimmee some)..any kicks, love the weights. Hates: Burpees


Other Interests or Activities or Workouts

I love to Golf, and an enormous amount of joyous effort goes into home improvement on the money pit, Other workouts include spinning, kettlebells, cardio coach.


Fun Stuff:
Share a little something about yourself with the group and to make it fun add a favorite saying, favorite music, funniest moment - you pick...you'd be surprised who remembers what and how you name associate with each other

I love working on my money pit with my husband, I'm pretty good with a paintbush and a hammer. I make mean appetizers, but hate to bake. Music? love it all.


Best part of the Road trips: Laughing, you know that I can't stop, giggle like you're 10, tears out your eyes, water comes out your nose type of laugh. These road trips are full of that. So many funny moments, and we get to do it again!!

I can't wait to see you all.

Where your from and family (again only if comfortable)
Philadelphia, PA...currently live outside of Philly. I have 4 children (Ben -11, Grace - 9, Emma - 7, & Noah - 5). Met my husband in College (Drexel) and we have been married for 13+ years.


How you were introduced to Cathe / Forum Membership
I used to overwork my body by running nearly everyday and lifted a "little", but didn't know how to really challenge myself. My husband bought me Cathe's Gymstyle Series and I was hooked (2006). I added her entire library very quickly, the more DVDs I tried the more I bought....I love all of her workouts, she is a genius!!! A lurker on the forum for years, joined 01/2010.


Favorite DVDs/Videos
All of the Imaxes, Intensity, STS, Anything step, LIS series, HIIT, CCC, Boot camp, PUB, STS TB, High Reps, Butts & Guts, LBB....I better stop, I should just say all of them!!!


Favorite Step or other moves
I tried step in College, felt like I had 2 left feet...tried a Cathe step DVD and haven't stopped stepping. I LOVE step. Love hip hop repeaters, Power 15s, ricochets, any combo with a jack, jumping onto the step, jump freeze,shuffle down the board, pendulums, floor sweeps…once again too many to name!


Other Interests or Activities or Workouts: I am a runner, I show up at races hoping to win, which can be quite nerve racking, but I am just really super competitive!! Started playing sports when I was 8, and never stopped. I played 3 sports in college - field hockey, lacrosse, and cross country. I am currently a personal trainer and I teach women boot camp classes, as well as the TRX. I also work part time at a Pharma company.

Share a little something about yourself with the group and to make it fun add a favorite saying, favorite music, funniest moment - you pick...you'd be surprised who remembers what and how you name associate with each other.
I used to be in a band with my sister. I mainly sang backup/harmonies. It was fun, and I give anyone credit who is the center of stage (Cathe), I am much better in the background!!


Fun Stuff...and anything else - this is totally up to you to discuss amongst yourselves.
Cathe's gym is about 1 hour from my home. So, on one Friday, about 2 years ago, I decided to just show up and take a step/Upper body class. I was in complete awe when I saw Cathe enter the room. I looked around and everyone else didn't seem to think it was a big deal (obviously, they go to her class all the time and are used to seeing her in person). But I just couldn't understand why no one else wanted to run up to her a give her a big hug. Anyway, the class was amazing she really impressed me when she took time afterwards to talk with me after class. She was so sweet and genuine...exactly as I had pictured!!

To get a picture on, you just need the URL of the location on the web of the picture. For example, I just used the pictures on my Cathe Forum profile. It contains an http link and you just use that...now, I can't guarantee that it won't be super big like mine, but it will load a picture.

Hope this helps!
