I have twice tried to send an email to the [email protected] address (by clicking on the yellow link under customer service) and have twice received undeliverable messages back from the postmaster. I received a video with poor sound quality (Step, Jump and Pump) and would like to have it...

Does anyone else out there have champagne taste and a beer pocket? I have been carrying my Fendi bag snce 1994 and it is finally time to upgrade. I'd like a Louis Vuitton, especially one from the new Murakami line, but I do not want to pay top dollar. There are sites that sell replicas but...

Being in the fitness field has left me with a surplus of equipment cluttering up my apartment! If anyone lives in the Shrewsbury, MA area and would like a Troy barbell - new and fully loaded (with two extra 5 lb plates) - let me know. Total weight including the 5 lb bar is 50 lbs. I would...

I am embarrassed to say that I haven't even pre-ordered Cathe's new Body Blast series as my body needs a change after so many years of classic Firms and Cathe workouts. Part of my job is to teach balance and core training using the stability balls, which led me to Collage for some new tapes and...

I put this here because I would like Cathe to see it and add her feedback, as well as others. Does anyone agree with me that bumping posts is discourteous? Cathe is a busy lady running her own business and taking care of a family, and this forum is designed for us to flag and see new posts...

Hi Cathe, and thanks for the tips on teaching a Boot Camp class. I think a stop watch might come in handy. My work is in corporate fitness, and many of the members are postural walking nightmares (from slumping over computers all day). They also have overuse injuries from various activities...

Hi Cathe, The Intensity DVDs were well worth the wait! As a fellow instructor and personal trainer, they are going to propel me into the next planet of fitness! I think you did a spectacular job in both the design and presentation of this series. Boot Camp is an absolute blast, and I...

Hi Cathe, As an ACE Personal Trainer, I am always looking for great reference books and one of my favorites is Effective Strength Training by Douglas Brooks. He has a very unique way of explaining kinesiology so one can easily apply the theory to the exercise (much like your strong cuing...
