Ordered my last Cathe dvds today

This is it. The end of a 30+ year relationship between Cathe and my credit card.

It’s very sad. I really enjoyed buying her DVDs.

It is literally the end of an era
I remember the first Cathe VHS I ever bought. The PS Series, which is still my most used series.

My first purchase was Mega Step through Collage. Remember the catalog came through the mail? I would pour over it with my highlighter trying to decide what to buy (no video previews)! I had been doing Power Step by Reebok but the intensity of Mega Step sold me on Cathe (all those ricochetes and the butt blasters). So sad that excitement is gone. I don't think any instructors are still making DVDs. Hoping for news on a new "download" series soon.

My first Cathe workouts were Rhythmic Step and Power Hour and then I bought her CTX Kickbox workout (all VHS). I was so intimidated by her. And I remember not being able to move my arms the next day after doing the biceps section from CTX Kickbox.

Sad to see this era end. Fully digital migration is definitely happening. I heard there's a huge uproar going on right now with PlayStation users because Sony announced it's discontinuing its discs, too - so even huge companies are doing it. Will be interesting to see if the backlash they're getting from their customers will convince them to reverse course or not.

I know it may sound odd but I kind of wish we could go back in time to the VHS tapes and when DVD's first became a thing. I know streaming and downloads may be cool but I like to physically have my workouts in hand.

Me too. Cathe's DVDs can't be beat for their convenience, chaptering and premixes. For streaming, Cathe's On-Demand is nice in that you can custom-blend workouts in the blender. But you don't own them, you "rent" them while paying a monthly fee. I do some YouTube workouts but I like being able to skip or add-in sections. I'm looking forward to new offerings from Cathe but I know I won't like the downloads as much as I enjoy the physical dvds as there will be more work on my end to make my own premixes from them. But I'll just have to adjust.
