Ok, I have to tell you.....

I've hesitated about posting about my trip to Cathe's on Monday because I didn't want to sound like a gushing fool but I just can't help myself anymore. I have to share....

I got to the gym a little earlier than I thought I would. The place is just a normal smelly co-ed gym. Lots of cardio equipment, lots of weight equipment. Actually pretty small. But you can't miss it from the outside. There are pictures of Cathe from her tapes on the windows!!! Francine was supposed to meet me there--SHE WAS LATE!!!! I was so nervous I could almost die.

Finally, about 5 minutes before class was supposed to start, I went in & got my equipment together. Playing it cool, acting like I knew what I was doing. I grabbed a step, 4 risers & a bar with some plate. Francine finally came in.

This woman is a trip. She has so much energy & was so excited to be there! She introduced me to Cathe just before class started. Cathe didn't even hesitate--she reached out & gave me a hug like we'd known each other for years. Just a quick hello & it was time to get pumping.

The class was awesome. It's a lot like Power Hour, lots of low ends!!! Talk about burning in the thighs! Honestly, as much fun as I was having, I like Power Hour better. But to be in Cathe's live class was incredible. Before I knew it, the class was over.

We put our stuff away & Cathe had us back into the INNER SANCTUM!!! Where they ship the videos from. Here's a link to our pictures. I'm the one with glasses, Francine is the blonde & well, you know which one Cathe is. http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=1661180&uid=813721 Oh yeah, my shirt is inside out because I was in Eagle country & if you look really close you can see it's a Dallas Cowboy t-shirt!

We talked for about a half hour & then Cathe had to go get her boys.

It was a great experience. One I wouldn't trade for anything. Cathe invited us back on the 17th to take a kick box class with some other girls from the forum & then we're going to eat!!! How cool is that?!

ONE DISCLAIMER--the shirt Cathe is wearing is not available for sale. Apparently they only had one made up just for her. Bummer!!!
 
Oh, Deborah!

Thank you so much for posting! What a thrill!

I LOVE the pictures! Especially the one where you can see Cathe's chewing gum!!! LOL! Talk about a close up!
 
Thanks for sharing. I would love to meet Cathe and get to go to her gym. You are soo lucky.

Deborah,
You and Francine sure are lucky to have met Cathe! She seems so down-to-earth. I hope she decides to sell that tank top shown in those photos. I would buy that one since I am not a T-shirt person! I bet you had a great time!

I am sosososososooooo jealous of you right now! How excited you must have been! I'm glad you had fun. :7 How nice to finally meet the gal who's helped us all so much. I would however LOVE one of those shirts! Take care - Susan
 
Oh, gosh I would love to meet her.. I bet she is so tiny in person! I always wonder b/c it's so hard to tell. She's so neat :)
 
Hi Deborah,
Thanks for sharing your experience. WOW! I don't think I could have worked out. I would be saying..OMG That's really Cathe in the same room as me. LOL

And you get to go again.....how cool is that? Yea...:D:D:D:D

Wanda
 
That is just entirely too COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Waaaaaaaa!!! I wanna meet Cathe, too!!!!

Just curious. In the pictures from Cathe's studio, who is the guy in the picture (you're sitting in his lap). Just wondered if that might be Chris from SNM who is simply the best at customer service.
Lisa
 
That's Francine sitting in Chris' (AKA SNM Videos) lap!

I forgot to add, that I felt like Cathe was watching my form every second! She wasn't but it sure felt that way. I don't think my form was ever so perfect. And all these women were there with HORRIBLE form! But hey, they were working with Cathe!!! OMG!!!
 
Alright, I am as green as the tops from Boot Camp! Cool, huh? Francine and Cathe seem like such down to earth people. And I WANT A SHIRT LIKE THAT! Okay, I'm better now.
 
RE: Ha!

I am soooo happy for you two getting to go visit Cathe.... however, I am sooooooooooooooooooo jealous! It must have been quite an experience. I probably would have got so excited I would have cried during class.... from happiness that is.

You both look so cute in the pics. Cathe is also such a doll isn't she. It is so funny I feel like I know her! If I saw her on the street I would feel like sayin' "hey Cathe.... how are ya'.... ya' really kicked my butt on Saturday...." She'd probably look at me and think "oh must be another one of my crazy fans"......

We need to all have a reunion! I would love to meet everyone!

Glad you had a good time! Thanks for sharing. Please let us know how the next visit goes.... kickbox??? Hmmmm..... shouldn't be a dull moment!
 
RE: Ha!

This kickboxing class on the 17th, is anyone allowed to go or is it a "Cathe's forum special"? I have off that day and I'm within a two hour drive..... Would you PM me with details???

Thanks!
 
Deborah, I saw these pictures from another thread and wondered why your shirt was inside out. Wise move. GO EAGLES! Hehe. :D
