I typically never pay full price for anything, so I wait for sales on streaming sites that interest me. I recently got 30% off a year of barre3, and I must say, I'm loving it. I paid for the year up front, which I prefer to paying monthly. There are some months I don't get as much use out of streaming and if I'm paying montly, I feel stressed out because I'm not getting my money's worth and that sucks the joy out of working out!
I subscribed to Physique 57 for a quite a while and I really enjoyed that. I got a screaming deal on the subscription, but the deal expired and over time, I wasn't using it as much. I just had too much going on and some of the workouts were just too hard for me. What I'm loving about barre3 is that the workouts are 'just right' for me at this time of my life, there are so many options and I feel like the site is just really well done. I really resisted streaming for a long time. I don't like recurring monthly charges and Lord knows, I have enough DVDs to keep me busy for a very long time! But my barre3 subscription came at just the right time for me and I'm so thankful for it. It has rekindled my love of exercise and makes it really easy for me to stay active. For me, right now, it's totally worth it. |

The only exercise subscription I have is Cathe Live. It has been worth it. I have now done over 100 CL workouts. This tops any other program I have tried.
I opted for the annual subscription after a month or so of paying monthly. I have not bitten on Cathe On Demand because I have so many of her dvds that this program doesn’t make sense for me. I have a few tv service subscriptions including Netflix and Prime. I love art and watch free YouTube demos, have a few online classes and take one in-person class

How do you decide what is worth paying something every month and what is not?
If I use it frequently, as in multiple times per week. It would have to be an instructor that I love and suits me better than other instructors. I work out with Jessica Smith the majority of the time. Since she doesn't have streaming, I don't stream. I do buy all of her dvd's, and depending on how many she puts out, I probably pay at least $120 per year. If she did change to streaming, I would subscribe. How much is too much (to pay)? I agree with the $20 limit. Do you pay monthly or go for prices breaks with yearly subscriptions? I would try to go yearly, for the price break. What types of things do you enjoy involving yourself in? I also work out with a few other You Tube channels, such as HASFit and Pahla Bowers. I haven't joined any gyms or exercise classes. I do walk my dog regularly, about a mile and a quarter per day, although less in the summer, as it's so hot here. I did recently pay for a yearly subscription for the Calm Meditation App for my phone. It was $69, which I thought was reasonable. What keeps you in a plan? How do you know when to cancel? I would cancel if I wasn't using it, which I guess ties into it fitting my needs.
