It's so expensive---$35.99 on the Essentrics site and $41.95 on Amazon. is that typically what people spend on the gift exchange?

I'd like to find the two "bonus" sections on streaming. When I did the live chat, they said everything was available online.

I don't understand the decision to use older episodes already offered on dvds, either. Nothing really makes sense with them, though. I was excited when I saw on ETV an "On Demand" section for their live workouts and was hoping to see some of the wonderful classes that have been offered. Presently, it's only classes offered by Miranda (which are lovely). I hope they expand that collection.

These live classes are awesome. I love them. I don’t need fancy bells and whistles, edits etc. I love how they just chat and instruct. I wish they get that. There is so much good content, new workouts and live classes that can easily be added to a dvd.

.
CS are rather pricey and I can't say I have seen anything on wishlists in that range...but I could be wrong.

I'm not a marketing expert, nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night , but as someone who has been contemplating whether an ETV streaming membership would be something I'd use enough to justify adding it to my other streaming services, I would've loved for them to put some of the exclusive ETV material on DVD, as that might have pushed me off the fence. I could see how others might also be more inclined to subscribe if given a taste of the newer material.

You make a very good point Cyana! If they released the occasional ETV offering as a DVD or a download, it could be a good marketing strategy to lure new subscribers.

I totally agree.

I think dvds are coming to a close. I have everything I want. I may look at doubling up on my favourite dvds but otherwise I am ok. Since I have 95% of their dvds I can pass.

I have been looking at ETV and I have done a gift subscription to myself. With Covid I may treat myself since my community rec center is not opening anytime soon.

I think that adding the free trial was huge and their way of letting consumers get a taste of the new workouts.

Sadly, I think we can all agree on this. And, if I'm honest with myself, I rarely do dvds anymore. I used to love my dvds, but they are a technology that is quickly disappearing. My boys don't have dvd drives on their computers anymore.

I agree that the DVD era is ending, I rarely use DVDs any more. I wish Essentrics would start selling download versions of their DVDs, especially for the newer releases.

I agree the trial is nice and have considered it, but with my chronic work-life imbalance, I'd be concerned that I'd sign up for a trial and not have the opportunity to use it enough during the 14 days to get a meaningful feel for all they have to offer.
