I don't see streaming being much different than going to a class. If you keep going to classes you keep paying and, like streaming, you get more variety than with a few dvds. And don't forget all the free workouts many instructors put on YouTube. I think streaming is generally over priced (just my opinion) and will come down as it becomes more competitive with more and more instructors offering it. I have a two different full year subscriptions that I bought on Groupon and Black Friday deals, one for $29, one for $60. That's pretty affordable. I do still use my dvds, but not as much and have pared down my collection recently.

Hmm, I go to the gym and seriously, the millennials don't seem to have any different habits than anyone else. They may check their phone between sets, but they seem to jump back on. They aren't waiting 5 minutes between sets.
On occasion, someone uses a machine as a place to rest, but other than that, they seem to be working out. I do see plenty of really bad behavior, one being talking on the phone while in the middle of the gym. The younger people I know seldom talk on the phone and almost never just chat. I went over to the dark side, and now I find having to go find a workout dvd a pain. Much prefer streaming. Circuits seem to be super popular and I find them boring as heck and I'm close to being a senior citizen. Now! Get off my lawn! |

For those that download...what is your preferred storage method? (Humor me - I'm just starting to "let go" of my need to have a physical dvd)
I worry that if my laptop bites the dust - my purchases will be lost. (unlike iTunes which I'd just reinstall on the next computer and be set). Do you use an external drive? Cloud storage? If you're using cloud - there's a monthly fee for that, yes? Thanks for any help as I maybe change my ways... |

Um, I would say the same figuratively ... off my lawn ... It had taken the better part of 3 years to come around to any subscription streaming ... (but non-commit - just like the Gen Y's ... some of the Gen X's)

The videos that I download I keep a backup copy on an external hard drive as well as loading them on a high volume flash drive or SD chip that I then play on my laptop streaming to a TV.
