I was just coming here to post this

My must-have Sufferfest is "It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time". It's really long but it works well in shorter blocks (ie. there's a natural "ending point" after 30 minutes, 40 minutes, etc) and it has a bit of everything--plus the humour and the awesome music that The Sufferfest is known for. I also love Violator. It's mostly sprints but has awesome scenery and music. (I've reviewed most of The Sufferfest rides on my blog if you want more details.)

Sufferfest rocks.

I just wanted to mention that it looks like they also have a Roku channel. I wonder if that means they plan to put up a lot more content? Hopefully someone will subscribe.

Sufferfest, just going by their obvious sense of humor, seems like my kind of workout!
I noticed the Roku thing too. I don't have a Roku, but if I did I would gladly be the guinea pig to test it out. I wonder how much their subscription is, and what comes with it?

Streaming is $10 a month. It gives you access too all their workouts, except sometimes the newest workout takes a while to get there. They are planning on adding one new workout every 3 months (quarter).

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/suff...917325169?mt=8

Sufferfest workouts are my favorite right now. I cannot bring myself to do Spinervals anymore. The music is great and choreographed to the workout. There is a story and fun footage to watch while riding. The newer videos are beautiful.

It is hard to pick favorites, but I think my favorites are Revolver, Violator and Nine Hammers. But honestly, I like all that I have tried. I still have a few holes in my collection, so I'm going to try to take advantage of this sale.

I have one of their treadmill workouts and it is great also.

Sufferfest!

So, I just spent enough money to save $13. I got the 2 running workouts I don't have and 3.5 of the cycling videos (one is super short - Extra Shot). I think the only 2 that I don't have now are Rubber Glove, and There is No Try.

If you are set up for doing downloaded workouts, these are a great deal. About $10 a workout with the sale.

Thanks Lisa! That was very helpful. I will give it a try for $10/month!

So, in order to do their streaming, do I have to stream from a Roku or their app? Or do they have a place on their website that I can sign up and stream from?

I guess I could just hook my iphone to the tv with an hdmi - that would work
I'm debating about getting either a Roku or an Apple TV but can't make up my mind.

I don't do the streaming, I've been buying the individual workouts. But I am pretty sure that you do need the app or a Roku. They don't even mention streaming anywhere on the main website.

You can hook up your iPhone to your TV thru an HDMI cable, but you need to have a converter. I bought mine from Apple. That is how I play Cathe Live workouts.

I only did the free trial of SSOD, so can't completely compare. I prefer the Sufferfest workouts personally, but it might be just because I didn't love the instructors I tried on SSOD.

There won't be as much variety with Sufferfest, but it is only $10. You could try for a month and see if you like it.
