How did you first discover VF? - Page 5

I stumbled across the VF reviews when I was using my first computer. I had no idea there was a forum. I discovered Collage in an ad in a fitness magazine, then bought Cathe's Step N Motion videos, joined her forum, and saw the VF forum mentioned there.

This is amazing that this website was quoted in a reference book...aka Dummies Fitness.

I was a moderator on another fitness forum. One of the forum members mentioned VF so I decided to check it.

I wonder what year that book mentioned VF? I doubt anyone still has that edition.

According to Amazon, the most recent 4th edition is from 2010.

I found VF when it was on fitnessonline.com, which no longer exists (it now redirects to mensjournal.com) but then had mainly articles from Weider publications. (I probably found that site through one of those web directories or through a link to a specific article, not with a search engine or from a magazine.)

When I first found VF, this forum was in its transition to the current version and unavailable to us to read, but it sounded interesting enough that I visited and lurked when this current version began.
