Cathe Live search engine

Is it just me or does Cathe's Live search el-sucko? With over 600 videos, it would be nice to put in a type of workout and have them all come up, instead of a few. Or, a few will come up that don't fit the search type. Frustrating. I like how YT instructors have categories for all their workouts, so you can go to that particular library and find what you want. I wish Cathe would have that option. Maybe I am not using it correctly??
 
Their OnDemand video library is also woefully incomplete where it comes to searching. I remember when I had a subscription, trying to just find something like "lower body" workouts, and it pulled up a few titles, but was missing a lot of others.

Same here - hopefully they get their financial issues worked out, and after they do so, they put resources into improving all their digital services.
 
Not just you! Also, if I use a search word, it includes her DVDs, not just her LIVES. I actually made a homemade spreadsheet that categorizes all 600+ LIVES (updated weekly) just so I can do my own helpful search. That is how poor the search feature is to me.

Hi Gobias! Are you interested in sharing your spreadsheet?

That's sort of what I do. I created a spreadsheet for every Live I've done and wrote reviews.
 
Alternatively while waiting for the plateform to be revamped, there is a useful tool produced by a cathlete on Facebook page. As soon as you get access to the fb page, click on files from the front page.
Here below is the link:


The file is dated as of mid March 2026. Not too bad IMHO.

I agree that Cathe's live search is pretty simple but I have a hard time complaining for the price I pay for the service. I don't think she has raised the cost of her live or on demand ever. I accept correction on this if I'm mistaken. Sure, it would benefit from improvement but I wouldn't say it sucks. That seems harsh to me.
 
Using the Web is better to work with the Cathe Live.
The firestick is really not user friendly, especially when trying to search older live videos.

Suggestion: The search engine should have at least the option so I can input the Cathe Live Number and it should come up.

I agree with you. I don't think Cathe has raised her prices ever. I'm guessing that the streaming service is on her own servers as opposed to hosting it externally which is how she keeps her prices down. Other streaming services are much more expensive.
Cathe always made her workouts as affordable as possible while maintaining the best production values. The Lives are no exception. The image and sound are clear. Those are the most important things for me in a workout. The delivery app can be improved later. Hopefully, she'll be able to do that in the future.

The app on the Firestick doesn't work well for me because I pause, rewind.... in every single workout. The response is slow. There is no progress bar. I don't know where I am in the workout. The web service is much better. That's what I'll be using. I haven't tried chromecast yet.

I agree with your suggestion. Being able to pull a workout by its number would be really helpful. I would also like to see a simple timer in a corner of the screen.
