I know many really like her workouts and I look at her video clips and some of the videos look good, but I am bothered by the production quality. It's very echoey with inaudible music. Kinda looks like U Tube quality. Am I missing something?

I am glad you brought this up, because that is exactly why I have not purchased her workouts. She is always in a corner, and they feel homemade.

you can do her full-length workouts on youtube - she offers MANY free ones - to decide if the workouts are good enough.

personally, I like them. she's very sincere, and offers many discounts.

The dvds for purchase are very similar in quality and format to the free you-tube workouts. There's a ton of variety on you-tube and it's well organized. The dvds are an option for those who prefer dvds over free streaming or the downloads that are available for purchase.. although there are some downloads that I would like that aren't on the free you-tube channel. And for a short time, her you-tube videos were freezing and stuttering a bit when I played them, so it is nice to have the downloads or dvds to avoid that irritation.

that could be a function of the browser (Chrome is better) or the amount of bandwidth/capacity you have from your IP.

Her dvds do look good. Are they good for someone new to barre? Do they move as fast as they seem? I was looking at the 100 rep ones. Does she give good form pointers?

I'll have to find time to check out her You Tube stuff.

I never mentioned this before, but to be honest I feel exactly the same! I bought her Barre Ball Blast DVD, after I tried a few of her youtube videos, they're all awesome btw, but to be honest I don't like that the DVD are filmed the same way as her youtube stuff

I wish her DVDs had a professional look and no a homemade look, that's why I haven't been tempted to buy another one (for now) as they look the same as the free ones.

Her 100 rep ones are also on her you-tube channel. I tried two or three of those. She warns that they are for advanced barre enthusiasts who can move through the drills without hearing reminders on form pointers. Yes, they are fast moving. I'm not advanced, I'm more high-intermediate. The 100 rep workouts aren't a good fit with me. I don't do barre exercises enough to have the muscle-memory to carry me through fast, high reps. But those 100 rep workouts probably are a good challenge for those who enjoy barre as the mainstay of their workouts.

The thing I think about is that she does sell them relatively cheaply and it funds her continued free youtube videos.
