Curious how you feel

[Imafitnessfreak]

I know when the Hardcore Series was in the works, a lot of people were upset about the amount and frequency of the updates. Now that there is a Blog for the latest series and it seems like there are daily updates, do you feel more satisfied, informed and content?

I am just curious about the "mood". I haven't been around much due to the Holiday, training, life, etc.. I was just wondering if everyone was happy as clams.

I think that "worked up into a frenzy of excitement" would describe it better than "happy as clams"

I think the blog is a very effective marketing tool and makes things a bit more interactive. I know libraries and newspaper publishers have used blog effectively to generate interest and keep people informed. I've enjoyed following Cathe's blog. I wasn't going to preorder but I got sucked in.....soon I will need an addition on my house to make room for the DVD collection and equipment.

I also think that it is a great marketing tool. They are definately making us feel like we have something to do with some of the process. Now because of the blog, I really want to preorder a few of the new dvd's.

I love the updates.... it's like looking at Christmas presents before you can open them....It inspires me to workout harder so I can make it through the new workouts.:7

I can't imagine getting terribly worked up over a lack of updates. Cathe is a busy lady. I'm fairly new to these boards and am amazed that Cathe is as accessible to her fans as she is. I don't know of anyone else out there who takes the time out of their busy schedule to interact with, answer questions and really care about the people who do their workouts.

GEL, I could not agree with you more! I think (my opinion) we get so much of her personal attention, WAY more than you'd receive from some other company. However, a year and a half ago, our updates came in the form of a post on the Ask Cathe forum and the "updates" were far fewer. Sometimes a week would go by, sometimes 3 weeks...varied. It just all depended on if there was anything "new" to report. If there wasn't anything new and we heard nothing...well, there was a good handful here that became infuriated by the silence.

I just know that Cathe works super hard and it is even more obvious that she is busting her (rock hard) tail to keep us happy. I am more hopeful than ever that she is successful, because it is so clear she is trying!

I think she deserves nothing but praise!

I’m such a huge Cathe fan and really, really look forward to her new workouts, so I just love the blog. I know each day, especially in the early stages, a little something would be posted ~ even if it was the colors of the DVD covers. Personally, I like how Cathe is keeping us up to date on how the filming process is going. For me, it builds the anticipation. Cathe does work hard and she's answered nearly every one of my questions to her. I agree, Sarah, she deserves nothing but praise. (I'm such a gusher.. )

I think Cathe understands that the advent of computer technology has brought her consumers right into her classroom in a lot of ways. She has seen other instructors using a more open approach to their business transactions, creating more of a working "relationship" with their consumers, especially with the knowledge that information is a powerful tool and can be used to satisfy both the entrepeneur and the consumer. It can be win-win situation, with both sides getting exactly what they want. The consumer gets the quality of product, the businessperson gets the sale.

Hi Sarah,

I don't usually think to check the blog unless I see something posted in the Open Forum that indicates something exciting is going on over there. What makes me happy and affects my mood about it all is that I preordered the first day way back when and even though I wished that Cathe was able to make the DVDs sooner I never, ever considered cancelling my preorder. Now, when they are all finished, it's going to be like getting a gift in the mail! I'm especially looking forward to Butts and Guts, Low Impact Circuit, Drill Max and Body Max 2. Oh!! That's all of them!!!

The blog was a smart, smart, smart move on Cathe/SNM's part. What a great way to keep people happy and informed and what a great way to get a buzz going again after the long wait period. I never cancelled my preorder, but I believe I've read a few posts where people who had cancelled re-ordered. I for one am pleased as punch and VERY excited for these workouts.

P.S. All the premix and bonus footage talk has me even more excited...I'm already dreaming up endless rotations with these workouts and some other new workouts I ordered.
