New Gear: Boxing gloves, 6' round yoga mat
Back-up Gear: lifting gloves
New DVDs: STS Mesos 1-3, Perfect Pump, Total Body Barbell, Gym-Style Back, Shoulders & Biceps, Gym-Style Chest & Triceps, Fit Tower series, Fit Split series.
Not sure if I'm actually going to receive Fit Tower and Fit Split or not since it looks like I ordered them after they were having some inventory glitches in their system. Fingers crossed.

You must have been quick to get that item! Fingers crossed you get your dvds!

Yes, I ordered the mat the day she made the announcement. I'm actually a bit on the fence with it - something about its finish makes my hands sweaty versus other yoga mats that I have.
I'm enjoying it for my lower body days, though - my carpet doesn't offer the best traction, and I work out barefoot, so there can be some slippage at times with lunges, especially. The giant mat is the right size to accommodate lunges in all directions/angles instead of my having to move my standard yoga mat around to help prevent slipping. (And I don't want to use shoes when I work out - don't want them tearing up the carpet - been working out barefoot for 20+ some years.)

I wish I had ordered another one of the round mats but by the time I decided to get it, they were sold out. I love the one I have. I thought I would mention that I noticed a bit of a "coating" on it at first that felt a little slippery but after a few uses, it went away. Mine is fine now, not slippery at all.
I've got my fingers crossed too since my PHA2 refund. I ordered a lot of back up DVD'S & sets. I did miss out on the LiTe & ICE bundles. Was disappointed. I was indecisive a little too long about my orders.
Socks: Not the ones with sayings, but the other with the heel tab. Very nice quality.
Gear: The green stability ball. I've never owned one. Medium tubing and gloves. The gloves are nice. I like that they are lighter weight but the quality is good. Nice fit.
Dvds: Fit Tower TB, Legs & Abs, STS2 Upper Body 1, STS2 Lower Body 2.
I'm officially done ordering and definitely have enough to keep me busy for awhile. Looking forward to doing a Live tomorrow.

That's the socks I ordered too - they are nice quality. I have some of the saying ones also, which are nice, but I prefer the others.

I’ve been having way too much fun with this sale….
DVD’s - STS 2.0, high step training, ICE DVD set. Plus Pyramid pump (have always been a huge LITE fan) from the December sale + the 4 free downloads with the elevate DVD set. Very happy with results so far from Pyramid pump the downloads.
Gear - lifting gloves, weight belt, pad for barbell, (barbell purchased in the December sale), yoga ball, extra set of firewalker bands and door anchor.
Turning 65, I totally understand when it’s time to streamline a business but I live in a spotty internet area so I seldom download.
I’ll miss her quality equipment but now I have enough great gear+ DVD’s to last for years.

I kind of envy those of you getting new-to-you DVDs. It's so much fun to get new workouts! You'd think I'd stop clamoring for more but bodies and priorities can change over time, plus it's refreshing to do something totally different.

I didn't see any instructions with the mat. Good suggestion though maybe hitting it with a mild cleanser.
I went a little crazy and bought back ups for fitness gear. I had bought some back ups during the black Friday sale but I went back for more. So far I placed 3 orders. I know I have at least one more.
I bought 4 of the step mats. Three will go to my sister and a friend. They fit perfectly on the Total Gym. I'll have one left plus one back up from the black Friday sale plus the 2 in use. I bought 2 sets of the resistance bands, resistance tubing, some miscellaneous bands, plus back ups for Boss bands and loops. I got the 2 stability balls just to have Cathe's name on them. Same for the socks. I bought the whole set with all the "Cathe says" plus the training socks and the anti-slip (for gifts). I always work out barefoot. But at this time, the "Cathe says" socks are collectable items to me.
I bought the foam roller, the weight lifting gloves with and without wrist support in medium and large. The large fit my husband's hands perfectly but the mediums were a little too big for me. I don't usually use weight lifting gloves but as I go heavier, I'm hoping the wrist support will help. So I went back for the small and bought backups for the large.
I bought the round yoga mat for a friend. She's getting rid of her carpet so I thought it will work for her. By the time I thought about buying one for me, they were sold out.
My friend bought me the orange weight plates and the 2lb microload gloves. My husband claimed the gloves right away. So I have to go back and buy 2 more to have back ups. Order not placed yet. He is still using the STS microload gloves from ages ago. They're threadbare with multiple holes. So I ordered 2 of the 1lb gloves too. I have to discourage him from using the 2lb gloves for kickboxing workouts. Hence the 1 lb gloves.
I was bummed to find almost all of my dvds. I ended up picking up Boss band total body, PHA3, Killer legs and Gloved up sweat. Two of these I only have as downloads.
I also bought the weight lifting belt. It is very stiff and overlaps too much which makes it harder to move. I'm not sure I'll ever use it.
I think I'm done. In my defense, I was buying for me and 5 other people.

Lol. No defense needed IMO. I've made at least 3 purchases starting with the Black Friday sales, then bought backups in the New Year sale, and again in this sale. I like Cathe's gear and these are great prices. I also made LIVE purchases with the 50% off and $2.97 sales. Guess I love a sale.
Lol. I could have written the same post because I did exactly what you did. I haven't tried all of the downloads I bought recently and I was feeling a bit guilty about all the buying. But not anymore. With this turn of events, I realized that we can lose it all so quickly and not just DVDs and gear. I plan to buy more downloads because I don't do streaming, even if I don't get around to using them all. I tend to repeat workouts a lot. I'm loving the functional aging focus that Cathe added to her offering. I'm hoping that buying downloads regularly will help keep them coming.

Love the survey. Great idea.
New gear: boxing gloves, weightlifting camo gloves
Backup gear: Mini exercise ball, Stretch bands set of 4
I'm assuming Cathe will use the same gear in new workouts. If not, I have most of her gear for use in the dvds I already have for years to come.
Hopefully, I will receive my items.

I made that assumption also. I have noticed some content creators both on YouTube and their own apps have Amazon storefronts where they earn commissions on the products they promote in their Amazon storefronts. Maybe Cathe will do that in the future after she clears her inventory. Plus some offer coupons for some of the products they promote.

I ordered Jan 20 and received Feb 11:
coral stretch band
water bottle - hoping this helps me drink more water during the day
red barbell collars - already had the yellow ones - this is for backup
heel tab training socks – black and white - love these socks
door anchor
aqua yoga mat - got one earlier - much nicer than expected-this one was supposed to be here yesterday - wanting to see if I put 2 together to make a bigger mat
step mat - this was before the liquidation sale - love this-my first was years ago when Cathe first offered them
also got the red and blue resistance band for back up
coral and green fire walker bands for backup

I read this and was crossing my fingers for no more fitness gadgets. Then I saw the idea she may start utilizing Amazon Affiliate links and my heart sank.
Pleeeaaassseee no more gadgets. My living room is about maxed out on space.
Debinmi
Cathlete
Lol. I can hardly imagine new gadgets! But I suppose people might be interested in what products Cathe might endorse for use in her workouts that can no longer purchase from her. I'm thinking like the balance disks or dip bars or specific strength tubing or a yoga mat or block. And it could be another revenue source for her..
