Exactly! If I were to subscribe it would be to a platform with multiple instructors. And I would probably also do Cathe, since it's Cathe. But yea, I'm with you on the small fortune thing.

Some instructors still do dvds even if they have a streaming site. Cathe, KCM, etc. It doesn't sound like that's what Tracie will do though.

Not for me. I'm hoarding my DVDs now and have regrets about getting rid of the ones I did some years ago. I too cannot afford multiple streaming subscriptions!

Yeah, that's how I feel, too. I did give away some DVDs when I moved last summer. They were ones I really never did and definitely could not see myself doing ever again, but I'm holding on to all the others, plus my VHS tapes.

I've tried a few streaming subscriptions, but I can pretty definitively say that streaming as a long-term strategy does not work for me. It's fun to do a free trial just to try something new, and if something really clicked for me, I might subscribe for a month or two, but I can't see it as a way of life. I get busy, or my old injuries act up and if I can't take advantage of the streaming site at least three or four times a week, I don't feel like I'm getting my money's worth. Then the subscription just feels like a burden to me and I kick myself for not getting more use out of it.

I don't even do very many free trials, because then I have to remember to cancel it before I'm charged and I just don't want to have to think about it. Plus, there is so much free material on youtube or Amazon Prime. I just don't need the hassle.

Either way, I have realized streaming subscriptions give me anxiety ('I have to use it or it's a waste' or 'I have to remember to cancel it.') That sucks the joy out of my workouts. I don't need any more anxiety in my life.

I already have a lot of Tracie's workouts, but I might collect a couple more using the code Sue provided (thanks!) but I have plenty of her DVDs and I could go on those for a long time.

This is me! I’m actually thinking about not renewing my Pilates.ology subscription and most likely won’t renew Bellicon. I have no angst over DVDs sitting unused because they’re not costing me anything and I love shopping my collection.

One thing I like about my Gaia subscription is having a wide variety of instructors. It was a very affordable Black Friday deal, about $60 for a year. Some sites are ridiculously overpriced IMO, but I think some will come down as more pop up & there is more competition. I travel a lot so streaming works great for me.

I am purging in preparation for a move and have a lot of older stuff. What are you missing, I might have it...

Kitty, I am cleaning out also. Why not post a list on "request the wealth" thread.
