Let's agree to disagree. Let's see if those bonus downloads will be put/written on DVD.I'm going to disagree - Cathe has only offered free downloads twice during a presale. Once with STS Shock Cardio, and once with the 2025 calendar. Im pretty sure that for SC series the offer was throughout the entire sale (not just the 1st tier pricing). Cathe/SNM has not specified if this time is different - guess we'll find out after the 31st

Nope another freebie was added to presale.... LiTe series The second pyramid pump was a freebie. If you pre-ordered, you should have the dvd or the download.I'm going to disagree - Cathe has only offered free downloads twice during a presale.

You guys want those chapters everywhere, including in freebiesHa ha, okay.
I might be wrong…but I thought with Lite you could order the Lite set with or without
Pyramid Pump, with a little price differential. I dunno!

I wouldn't expect a DVD version of the downloads to be included for free. I'd expect to pay for an additional DVD. But THEN you could also have chapters and premixes

ETA : LITE pre-order happened in 2018. At that point dvds were still sold to both national and internationals customers. It is not the case today 2025.

it is a shame I no longer have access to my account history.
I have always pre-ordered from the first price and bundles.
So it is a freebie!
So for us who purchase series the terms and conditions are slightly different.
Hope it is clear.
LITE on Impact. LITE on your joints. Anything but LITE on Challenge!
Cathe's LITE series offers not only 7 low impact workout routines, but also includes:
- Bonus Workouts over 2 1/2 hours of bonus Cathe Friedrich workouts give you endless workout options (see details below)
- Shorter Workouts all of the 7 main LITE low impact workouts are under 45 min. Shorter and longer Premix options are available which means LITE is a perfect fit for your busy schedule no matter what it is.
- Calorie Crush cardio bonuses for an added higher impact intensity burst on days when you want to take your workout to the next level and burn more fat and calories.
- Pyramid Pump lifting bonuses to challenge your muscles utilizing the pyramid method of training which means you will strengthen and tone your muscles faster and help you break through training plateaus.
- 6 Pack Abs Two bonus Ab workouts will strengthen and tone your core muscles which means you will look slimmer and more fit and also reduce back-related problems caused by a weak core.
- LITE Stretch two Cathe extended stretches to help you lengthen and relax hard-worked muscles.
- 177 Premixes! - Each Cathe LITE DVD includes numerous premixes, many featuring the bonus workouts, which means you can do a different workout almost every day and never get bored.
Want to hear more about these 7 Cathe workouts? Well, bring a towel, you may start sweating just reading about these routines. Wink! Let's talk details!

you're right!!!
With my new Lift, Move & Restore 2: ELEVATED series, you’ll get a nice mix of the challenging routines you want and the restorative workouts that your mind and body need. This is a very important compromise that we must all learn to make if we want to stay strong and injury-free, especially as we age. I hope you’ll be joining me on this journey!

FWIW... I ordered the pre-sale (why do I feel like this is the first time I ordered pre-sale... maybe I did do the pre-sale with STS 2.0, as well... )
I'm keeping my order - yes, the four free heavy weight downloads sweetened the deal, and I feel like it's a sort of peace offering to keep people feeling at ease and occupied while they wait for the set to come out.
Given that these are probably going to be filmed and sent out in fairly quick succession, I highly doubt they'll be chaptered. I kinda hope they're filmed in her nice studio and not the LIVE gym, but I guess we'll see!
Anyway, I'm also okay with a risk of this new set not being particularly challenging. (I agree it would be nice if she would give us a comparison, however, but it's not a deal-breaker for me.)
Like others, I don't mind having a nice, big library of workouts at varying levels of difficulty. I can 100% say I've relied on LITE, for instance, to get me back on my fitness path, and won't mind more workouts that are on the lighter side that I can throw in and use either in times of coming off a period of inactivity, or during active recovery weeks. And it'll be nice to have lots more of those lighter workouts to choose from instead of maybe just 5 or so (throwing out a random number).
So, like, if I want HIIT cardio, well, Cathe's got close to 20 workouts to choose from (as an approximate). If I want mobility, she's currently got, like 4-ish (not counting her yoga workouts - which I actually don't care for, with the exception of the one in LMR).
Anyway. That's just me, and I also totally get not wanting to commit, especially if lighter workouts (or the risk of ending up with lighter workouts) just are not your cup of tea.
Like for me - if she did another total cardio series and was vague about whether it would be overflowing with HIIT or if it would be steady state or step or what have you, I'd also not want to jump in on a pre-sale and would prefer to wait until I could review the workouts first after they'd launched to determine if they're ideal for my preferences.
In fact, that's usually how I've purchased Cathe's workouts and sets... way after they were released because I wanted to review them first. I even stayed away from XTrain for a long time because of all the HIIT, but eventually decided to go for it.
But yeah... again... she got me at "four free heavy weight workouts"with this one. lol

I never cancelled a cathedotcom pre-order
I solely pre-order
I am fine adding a second recovery series. Variety is good to keep the motivation high.
Today I did functional upper body and I have already increased the Weight and I enjoyed the workout. I enjoyed it not just because of the intensity. The balance, the coordination, the flexibility/stretching and the mobility challenge have their place as far as health is concerned.
I can not wait to see the line up of those four free heavy weight workout
