2009 Cathe Road Trip

A HUGE AND WARM THANK YOU to all of our 2009 Road Trippers! What a fun and motivating bunch of Cathletes you are! Super charged with enthusiasm from the word go, how inspiring! It was such a great pleasure to meet each and every one of you this weekend. While most of you were attending your first road trip it was also very nice to have many of you come back for your 2nd, 3rd, even 4th road trip….I just love that!!! It was fun to see you all bond together so well as each of the weekend’s events unfolded. The memories of the fun we had and the friendships we made will last a lifetime. From our Friday kick off workout to our Sunday goodbye breakfast, there was not a moment that went by that I didn’t stop pinching myself at your wholehearted excitement, genuine affection, and positive energy. What a pleasure it was to get to know you all a little better this weekend. I was so touched by your sweet words and sincere loyalty. My heart filled up with deep emotion as you walked up to me with endearing tears of appreciation and shared your deepest life changing moments since you began working out with me. I am teary eyed all over again as I write this! What an honor it is to know that I am such an important part of your every day fitness routine and that your children, families, and friends all know me on a first name basis and have even adopted or created a “catheism” or two. Thank you for sharing all of your pictures, stories, accomplishments, goals and dreams. You sure do know how to make this Jersey girl’s heart swell with gratitude and affection. I love you all!!!

I also want to thank you, along with Chris, for those to very adorable singing cards and your words of thanks within them. Those special words along with your extremely generous gift card to Nike was very touching to us. Equally touching, and exceptionally moving to me, was the “What Cathe Means To Me” slide show gift you presented me with. OMG, I was so hugely surprised and grabbed off guard with emotion. I later was told that while this was presented to me at the road trip, it was a gift open to everyone on Cathe Nation to participate in. So thank you everyone from the bottom of my heart….for your love, your support, your honor and your trust. I simply would not be who I am today without all of you….and there is not a day that goes by that I don’t think about how happy and grateful I am to be able to share the gift of health and fitness with every one of you! You are my source of inspiration and I am so happy that we are on this journey of well being together.

Thank you again and I hope to see you at another Roadtrip in YOUR area this year!

Big Warm Hugs,
Cathe

  • Cathe,

    Congratulations on your success! I watched quite a bit of the Live web casts and caught Chris telling the story of your success. You have come a long way in 20 years congratulations.

    Also, I wanted to thank you for all you do for your fans:

    – Producing AWESOME home workouts
    – Road Trips
    – the Live Web casts for those who couldn’t be there
    – the Forums
    – the Cathe Tour
    – the workout manager

    and the list goes on and on. Just like you – the Energizer Bunny (at least that’s what it seemed like watching you lead class after class during the road trip).

    May you have many more years of well-deserved success!

  • Hi Cathe,

    Even though I missed my chance to add to your “What Cathe Means to Me” gift (no one’s fault but my own). I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for everything. You are such an inspiring and fun person to work out with. I really truly look forward to getting up at 5:00 a.m. to work out with you, and that’s just what it feels like. Your warm and encouraging personality comes through so clearly on your videos that even when I’ve done the same one for the 20th time, I still feel like I just finished an actual class with you. I’m not very “buff” but my BMI is in the healthy range, I just had a physical and all of my lab results were in the healthy range and I know that a big part of that has been working out with you for all of these years.

    So, thank you, thank you, thank you! You are awesome and I really hope that I can come up to meet you when you come to Chicago.

    Blessings as you continue to provide us with most amazing workouts ever!!!

  • Cathe, you are so classy! You are an example to all of us on how to handle success. I’ve gotten a lot of good exercise time over the years with your workouts, & look forward to the new cardio project. My energy level and bank account did not allow me to come on the recent road trip, but hopefully soon……..Rock on, Lady C!

  • Cathe,
    I just have to say…..WOW! You truly are an inspiration! I am a figure competitor, and during my off season-I use your DVD’s to change things up, keep my body guessing, and of course, trying to stay in shape, and your DVD’s accomplish all of the above!!! You’re amazing! Your technique, style, cueing, and sweet personality make every workout enjoyable! Keep up the incredible work and inspiration! God bless!
