Greetings to all of our July 08' Road Trippers! I wanted to thank you soooooooooooo much for one super-fantastic, memorable, weekend!!!! You are all so very sweet and you have no idea how special it is/was to have that one on one connection with you. I loved hearing about all of your hopes, dreams, goals, and accomplishments. I loved seeing your pictures, sharing in your excitement, and meeting your husbands/sisters/friends. I loved taking pictures together, signing your books/covers/badges/shirts, and hearing about the friends you made on the trip. I loved sharing classes together (holy moly you are all so fit), having meals together, and stretching in our pj's together. I loved having you on the set with me and stepping together, dancing together, laughing, crying, and shouting out "catheisms" together (what you do to one side you....DO TO THE OTHER!!!!). Simply put: I just loved meeting each and every one of you and spending time together!!!!!

Thank you so much for your very generous gift. I have your digital photo frame here on display and get so emotional viewing all of the pictures. Wow, already having the roadtrip pictures loaded up and ready to go was just the icing on the "roadtrip cake" (which was gobbled up in its entirety, by the way, ha). I can't think of a more perfect keepsaver than this. You truly didn't have to get me anything, but thank you from the bottom of my heart for your thoughtful generosity.

Goodbyes are always so very hard. Leaving one another on Sunday's brunch was so emotional. We shared many tears and laughter as we recapped our incredible time together.

Thank you again to our wonderful, HARD WORKING, unfaltering, roadtrip coordinators, Kathy, Debbie, and Lorrayne, (we couldn't do it without you!!!!) and to our official hands on photographer and ENORMOUS helper Cyndi (and thank you for making those wonderful Cathe roadtrip bracelets for everyone too Cyndi....that was so generous of you). Thank you also to Nancy in customer service who was also a HUGE help and a tireless worker....thanks so much Nance! Thank you to everyone in Cathe.com and EVERYONE involved in helping to make this roadtrip a smashing success.

Most especially, THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU JULY 08' ROADTRIPPERS
for coming and for your continued loyal support and enthusiasm. This trip would not be possible without YOU!!!!! I love you all!

I'll see you next workout!!!

Cathe,

I want so badly to post what my favorite class was, but I have to wait until the August RT'ers have their weekend!!!

As someone who usually has no problems with words...it is very hard for me to say just the right thing that captured the weekend for me, but you and your entire organization is first rate, and I am proud to have been a part of a truly amazing experience!
 
Oh dear god I don't know what to say! Here come the damn tears again. Thank you Cathe for absolutely everything. The RT was flawless. It is just such an unbelievable (and emotional!) experience to meet the person who has kept me going when I didn't think I could even get out of bed at times. In all honesty your workouts have really kept me sane this past year. Your personality and humor really come through in those workouts and it is an honor, to say the least, to be able to meet and workout with you. You are the most inspirational, beautiful, kind person I've ever met. Thank you for your time and generosity this past weekend. It means more to me than you'll ever know.

Oh and I wanted to add a special thank you to Chris, Nancy, the coordinators, and each and every one of your amazing staff. They were all so accomodating and I'm sure they thought we were crazy at times, but they never showed it. Please give them my thanks. I know this weekend wouldn't have been possible without all of their hard work. You and your crew are a well-oiled machine, that's for sure. Thank you again.

Cathe,

I can't even begin to tell you what this weekend meant to me. As a first time RT'er, I was very nervous. But meeting you put me totally at ease and your staff and the coordinators just made everything so much fun and it was such a great weekend. Ever since I got home I have been trying to tell everyone about it, but I just can't seem to put into words what it was like!

You and your entire organization are first class which is why I use your workouts and I know that you will always remain that way. And you truly are the sweetest and most genuine person that I have ever met.

The entire weekend exceeded my expectations by 100% and I'm already looking forward to next year. Thank you for everything!

Thank you so much, Cathe!! We know how hard you work and how many hours of preparation from your staff, the coordinators, Chris, and especially YOU to make this Road Trip such a memorable experience for all of us.

We will never forget it.

And we will use STS as yet again an opportunity to make you proud! Thanks, from all of us, for everything you do.

Hugs,
Cheryl (Yes, Utah Gal Cheryl who kinda fainted during the group photo - I'll always remember that, too, LOL!)
 
Cathe - Thank YOU so much for a wonderful weekend. I just gotta bottle me some of that "high" I felt at each and every workout. I was like, step, mambo, cha cha cha, what do you mean it's over!!! It went so quickly and I could really use that energy for those days that my knuckles are dragging! You and the girls are so inspirational and gracious for letting us take pictures and get autographs and I definitely will be back next year. Thanks again, Laura
 
Truly amazing!

Cathe,

This was my first road trip and definitely will NOT be my last! My sister and I (two of three - triplets) had a blast and are hoping to get our third sister Jen to come with us next year as we know she'll love it! You were amazing and so gracious with everyone coming up to you for pictures, your workouts were amazing and all I wanted was MORE, and it was all such a blast.

Thanks again!
Jolene
 
Cathe, thank YOU! You are the most gracious hostess I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. This was my third road trip, and it seems to get better and better each year. I can't wait for the next one! ;)
 
Cathe-

Thank you so much for your endless generosity in opening up your life and gym to us, crazy fans! Thank you also to Nancy and Chris....they are super and you are truly blessed to have found them early in your life! True, heart-to-heart friends are hard to find! Although, I have had the fortunate experience to have found 5 of them at last year's RT!!! Yes, you, Lorrie, Pennie, Gayle, Cheryl, and Jean!!!!

Thank you again for such an awesome, uplifting and rejuvinating experience!!! I truly feel like I've been to a 3 day Southern Revival!!!
 
Thank you Cathe!!! It was the most memorable RT to date for me! I totally appreciate all the hardwork you, your staff, Kathy, Lorrayne, Debbie, Chris, and Nancy put into this weekend. I was teasing Bob your shipping coordinator about being overcome with all of us and he said something like "yeah, I'm usually in the back by myself or with Nancy....but this is pretty cool." What a great guy, lol! :)

I'm already looking forward to next RT. And a special big thank you to Cindi for her untiring picture-taking and the nice bracelets!

EXACTLY!!!! And Cathe, the fact that you continue to allow us to come and partake of you and your wonderful staff's generosity speaks volumes to the kind of person you are! Not just the kind of instructor, but the kind of person. Thank YOU!

I have to ditto what Amy said. The frienships I am soooo lucky to have found in Pennie, Gayle, Cheryl, Amy, Jean and Cyndi never would have happened so deeply without you and your kindness. And the forum friends that we ALL have as well as the new friendships we make on these trips mean more to me than words can capture.

(And there is no way I can get away without thanking our astounding coordinators and official photographer. Ladies -- YOU ROCK) Have fun in August -- all the best!
 
Wow, what a weekend.

Thank you Cathe, It was so fun, laugh out loud 'til your face hurts kind of stuff. You are simply the best, gracious and inspiring. What a treat to be in your gym and be allowed to have the experience I did.

The crew was terrific, Debbie, Lorrayne and Kathy you all are truly gifted and humble us with your abilities. And then there was Cedie, Jai, Lorrraine and Brenda, just delightful.

And to my fellow road trippers...it was a slice. I made some great friends....all in 3 days. I am so lucky to have been blessed with this opportunity.
 
Cathe, I can never thank YOU enough! Thank you for opening your gym and your life to us for 3 days, for your hospitality and kindness, thanks for whipping my butt SIX times over the course of the weekend. But also thanks for making me LOVE working out, thanks for making my body better than it has ever been, and thanks for showing me that I can do anything!!
 
Cathe,
Many thanks from the bottom of my heart to you, Chris, your staff, Nancy, coordinators, and crew for a weekend that I will always remember. I had so much fun working out, sweating, laughing, and making lifelong friends. It was difficult to say good-bye on Sunday. In fact, poor Lorrayne, I just cracked and burst into tears when saying goodbye to her.
I did the Drill Max drills today and loved it when you said, "We're all in this together." So true!! YOU make me love to exercise!
You are truly THE BEST and it was an honor to be able to work out with you and everyone there last weekend!

Much love,
TXGin
 
Aw, Gin, I just ADORE you!!! I love when you said that Cathe makes you love to exercise. That's exactly how I feel! I go to bed excited to work out with her and wake up the same way.

I thought you might enjoy this picture. I love me some TXGin!!

 
Oh Allie.....You are too cute!!
I guess that picture shows how much fun I was having, but it sure is an ugly-face laugh!:eek:
 
Thank you Cathe for letting us come to your gym and giving us the best weekend ever!! Thanks to the RT coordinators, your crew, Chris, everyone at SNM and Four Seasons, Cindy the PT who gave such informative lectures, the catering service who served such yummy food, and anyone else I might have forgotten -- it truly was a wonderful and motivating experience for me. It was nice to see where the workouts are filmed, nice to see the people who are SNM/cathe.com, etc. You guys were so generous to us with your time and energy - Words cannot express how much it meant to me. I must admit that I was star struck and tongue tied when meeting you and everyone. I wish I had expressed my feelings better.

A special thanks to you Cathe for sharing my step during the step class. What a thrill!! That meant a lot to me. I felt like a kid at Christmas who got the best gift ever. :D

Anyway, I hope that I have the opportunity to do another one in the future. It was such a wonderful experience!

Thanks to you and everyone who made the weekend so memorable. :)
 
Gin, there is nothing ugly about you! I agree with Alli! Too cute!!


Cathe, thanks again for another wonderful RT experience. I had even more fun this year than last, and I didn't think that was even possible!!! Thanks to everyone involved...I'm almost afraid to try to list everyone, because I might forget someone. Your crew, everyone at the gym and SNM, the coordinators, Cyndi the fabulous photographer, and anyone else I've forgotten. Everyone worked so hard to put this together and we all appreciate it!!! Thanks again!
