I think these are the key phrases in the commercial posting rule:
1) If you work for another fitness company either directly or indirectly or are an internet or stealth marketer... we ask that you not post on our site about any products you sell.
2) Customers on our site need to know that discussions about fitness DVDs and products are honest and from fellow customers, not from sellers that appear and seem to be customers.
If I came here and said, "Hey everyone! Look at Michelle Dozois' new Bodyfit360 workout. This looks great! I think I might try this one! Get in during the pre-sale!" and it turns out that I work for Michelle Dozois and don't disclose that information (which I don't, by the way), that would be a violation of the commercial posting rule.
But I don't think it's a violation of the rules for one of us (assuming none of us work for the mentioned instructors) to announce that another instructor has a new DVD out and there is a pre-sale. Again, assuming no one here is pretending to be simply a user of workout DVDs, mentioning a pre-sale of another instructor is most likely okay.
ETA: That said, I love the look of the Athletic Conditioning one and will probably get that one. The dance one looks similar to her first 360, which I already have (and love).

We would like to once again remind everyone that we don’t allow posts from people whose end purpose is to sell or promote other companies DVDs. We want open discussion to continue to be used for “customers” who want to openly and honestly discuss other fitness DVDs, not to be used by other companies, or individuals, to promote or sell their products. Though this has been a problem for many years, lately it seems to have greatly expanded. If you work for another fitness company either directly or indirectly or are an internet or stealth marketer... we ask that you not post on our site about any products you sell.
Customers on our site need to know that discussions about fitness DVDs and products are honest and from fellow customers, not from sellers that appear and seem to be customers. Threads and posts that violate our forum rules will be deleted and users that violate our rules will have their accounts deactivated."

Nope, these posts are allowed. It's when a fitness company or another fitness instructor come on here to try and sell their products that the posts get deleted. If it's a Cathlete who wants to talk about other fitness instructors and dvds, it's okey dokey.

Hi Colleen,
if it's okey dokey it is fine.
I asked a question ;-)
Thanks for answering...
How are you coping with the excitement of getting this new RWH?
I can recall your post discussing a HEAVY and Hiit series.
