If I buy an annual membership it's about $130/year - but most are cheaper. I wait for specials.

Bubbles, I like free youtube workouts but I hate being constantly interrupted by ads that youtube intersperses within the workout itself. Example: latest Gina B's 80's Retro workout. Ads in the beginning, 8 minutes into it - another ad and that's when I just gave up. Youtube is aggressively pushing paid subscription in my area, and I'm just not going to do it. That's why if I like the instructor, I'm willing to pay for subscription so that I can enjoy my workouts ad-free.

I find that I only go to Youtube occasionally. I like to workout in front of my larger screen TV which is pretty old and I have a Roku but half the time when I try to go into youtube or try to start a workout I get a black screen. I have to restart until this clears up and once it does I get annoyed by the ads. One time I was doing blogilates and we worked the first side I was bombarded by ads. I can find no way to skip the ads with my Roku remote so I just got fustrated and switched to a DVD.
