Is There Still a Searchable Database for Cathe’s DVD Library?

[Katia Fortin]

Hello!
I have a large collection of Cathe DVDs.
Until recently, I used the Cathe Shop website to search for the type of workout I wanted to do. Whether I was looking for a HIIT workout, an upper body workout, or a metabolic workout, I could easily find it. The site provided a wealth of information about each workout. I even had access to images of the back of the DVD cases, which included useful details such as the required equipment and, quite often, the available premixes.
This made it very easy for me to create my own workout rotations.
Now that DVDs are no longer being sold, that section of the website has become very incomplete. I no longer have access to many of the workout descriptions and details. As a result, I have to go to my DVD collection, pull out the cases, and manually compare them. It’s much more time-consuming, less convenient, and I don’t feel like I have a good overall view of my collection anymore.
I was wondering if there is still a way to access a computerized database of Cathe’s entire workout library that would allow searches by workout type, series, or training style.
Thank you very much.

This, please!! I used the shop page in so many ways to help pick my workouts.

Yes! Same here! I use this page regularly to pick my workouts, look up premixes or just watch a clip to get motivated. It's super convenient.

Agree, I hope they can add a library section we can easily source.

I too do use the shop DVD tab a lot to view clips, re-visit list of premixes etc..... to map out my rotation. I personally noticed the only information no longer provided is the clip. What I do is go to you Tube and search for Cathe library.

Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/@CatheFriedrichFitness/search?query=Muscle Max
I have searched for Muscle Max just to check if I would be able to quickly find exactly what I needed.
The information searched is there.

Following Cathe Friedrich's groundbreaking successes, she's now doing something different! STS is the first and only DVD series that allows you to do a different workout each and every day through the entire series. The most extensive workout series ever filmed, STS will challenge you to be the...

Alternatively, joining Cathe's facebook page is very helpful. There are many files containing premixes and many information helpful to anyone able to make her/his own rotation.

The only information missing is the video clip. Information need to be searched from the shop DVD page. Here is how:

From the main page, clic on shop dvd then screen below appear:





Type in Muscle Max, then screen below will come up. From there you will need to click on the DVD cover and literally get all information as usual. Clips are no longer there but they are on Cathe YouTube channels.Description of the workout and premixes are still on the website. HTH

I also hope cathedotcom provides a searchable database for dvd and download users as it is very helpful and convenient to have it online. But, detailed info for items that are sold out on the Shop pages is disappearing. The warehouse and sale is supposedly over at the end of July, which may mean the entire Shop pages disappear also. Time will tell.

I am hoping they reinstate the "library" at that time without the abiity to shop of course.

On the other hand, as Cathe moves over to the streaming services only, the search may only be available to streaming customers and the support componets for dvd/download users may peter-out over time. That makes sense and would encourage people to subscribe for those benefits and keep regular revenue streaming into cathedotcom. Eventually even the forums may be moved over for streaming customers only.

For those who don't migrate to streaming, there is a person over at Videofitness.com who has made her personal, extensive database (using MS Access) available free. It includes other instructors besides Cathe but it appears she has Cathe's entire collection in her database. It includes premix info, times, etc. So that's an option if you have the MS Access program and if Cathe/SNM removes the supports for dvd/download customers.
