Cathe DVD Preorder Bliss

Although the anticipation for the Body Blast DVD's is d@mn near killing me (I ordered them 05/09/03!), I wanted to go on record as saying I'd preorder a YEAR in advance if that was what it took.

I did a brief calculation: I paid $130.00 for the whole 4-DVD Taco. $130 divided by 4 equals $32.50 per disc. Each disc has two complete workouts strictly as produced and filmed, bringing the cost of each of these to $16.25 per workout . . . IF these workouts were the only things on each disc. But they're not, are they? There are premixes galore and chaptering down to a fare-thee-well to make the number of POSSIBLE workouts cost about a few pennies PER DISC. Let's not even talk about the mish-moshes possible among discs.

I did a bit of a search on Collage Video, and it appears that a random sampling of heavy-hitting instructors, including Karen Voight, Kathy Smith, Mindy Mylrea, and Gilad, do offer their workouts on disc. Each disc contains only one workout, with no added bonus features or premixes. Each disc costs between $16.95 and $19.95; Smith and Gilad offer compilations costing $34.95 - $69.95.

Miss Cathe - I've said it before: you aren't simply riding the wave, you ARE the wave in terms of exercise DVD production. Waiting for your newest productions is like waiting for a Tiffany diamond.

A-Jock, I'm so glad you posted this. I get so bummed out when I hear people complaining about waiting for the DVDs. I feel exactly the same way you do. If we were asked to pre-order a year in advance, I'd still do it. And even if, after that year, there were unforeseen delays, I'd still happily wait. I just don't understand why people would complain when they know that they're going to be getting something that's BY FAR the best thing out there and WELL worth the wait! This one set of DVDs will provide enough workouts to keep you busy for months, if not years, what with all the combos, etc. And until they arrive, I already have another lifetime's worth of workouts from Cathe already that I still find challenging, new and exciting! I don't want to get too mushy, but I seriously can't believe that there's someone out there willing to share all her knowledge with us and provide us with a way to be in unbelievably good shape while working out right in our own homes!

I'm with you, A-Jock! Take your time, Cathe! You're well worth the wait! Thank you for all your hard work and for sharing your gift of fitness and good health with us!!!:) :) :)

I wholeheartedly agree with you both. I'm anxious to get the DVDs, but I know that they're going to be amazing and worth the wait. In the meantime, I'm doing other workouts of Cathe's, and getting into better shape everyday.

Cathe, to add my thanks, I greatly appreciate all you do for all of us!
 
:) Yup (nodding my head) I totally agree very much worth the wait :) and a bang for my buck ... sooo looking forward to getting those 4 DVD's uh huh yupper
 
I haven't been with Cathe very long, but I agree as well! I love the discs I have so far and have already pre-ordered the BB series. I absolutely LOVE having such versatility, it's wonderful!
 
You guys are so funny! But I think you are wrong to perceive the queries for updates as complaints. We are all eager with anticipation for what we know will be awesome workouts. One of the functions of these forums is to get information and the information I am most eager to get is the WHEN of the DVD's since I already have a pretty good idea of the fantabulosity of the workout. In fact, I think Cathe is so awesome I had to make up my own word to descibe them! Of course, we know they'll get here when they are ready but what's the harm in asking?

I agree wholeheartedly! I imagine that everyone's workout time is precious to them. Don't you hate it when you pop in a video only to realize that that precious exercise time has been wasted by a lame workout? That NEVER happens with a Cathe video! You can COUNT on an incredible workout every time you do one of her tapes. I would never miss an opportunity to own her next DVD's and I would preorder way in advance too if that's what it took.
 
I haven't seen a lot of complaining here, but I have noticed it elsewhere. I don't think she was talking about the requests for updates we see here.

I'm so excited to get mine... it'll be like Christmas and my birthday, arriving to surprise me on some random day in November (?) or December. For me, the delay works because I'm involved in a massive creative writing project and I can't afford to lose 20-30 hours of work while I preview every single workout combination! :)
 
I completely agree A-Jock. Yes, the DVDs might have been able to ship in August, had you wanted them with minimal chapter points and zero premixes. I, too, would wait a year or more for these to arrive!!! Thanks for saying what needed to be said Annette!
 
Susan, I got an email from Karen Voight about her new DVD and I didn't even bother to check it out. I have given my sister so many workouts that I didn't like, I am quite certain that it's not worth bothering with. I am so excited about the new workouts, I actually dreamed about them last night! Got a darn good workout too!
