The new site is fantastic and well laid out (IMO). However, I am disappointed that they're not offering the short tutorials on the new site. Apparently they weren't very popular, but I thought they were helpful in terms of breaking down the different moves.

I was looking forward to getting the technique down correctly and choosing some workouts to download and keep. I'm loving Sandra Hanna's workouts, but they are only available online!
I agree, I was very disappointed that they took away the option of purchasing most downloads. I had just paid for a month on the old site when I switched. My plan was to try some different intructors and then purchase a few of the workouts. I don’t want to have Callanetics as my main strength work, so subscribing wouldn’t be worth it for me, even though it is a good deal, as streaming services go.

I guess I’ll be sticking with the DVDs and hopefully remembering the tips from the new stuff that I tried.

I do not understand why they would remove the tutorials. What about us newbies? They keep saying "checkpoints" and I just think "too bad I don't know what that means."

I'm think about trying this site, it looks interesting. I am traveling in March & love streaming while I'm away so I don't need DVDs. Question for those who are familiar with the site, are there a variety of shorter workouts? I like 30 - 40 min to add on to my other workouts. Thanks!

Same here. I think you can buy the form pointer videos but they are way too expensive!

Yes, there are many workouts in that range. Those are the ones I'm doing.

There is a lot of shorter workouts so you should be good for travel. I love streaming. Pretty much all I do now from my Ipad for my workouts.

I joined the new Callanetics TV, but I'm not too thrilled so I'm planning to cancel before they charge me anything. First, the streaming doesn't work very well so the videos are constantly pixilating and freezing. Second, I'm finding that Lacey Kondi is the only instructor I like for the most part and I have all her DVD's. The only one of hers that isn't on DVD is called Callanetics for Men but it was hard to watch because of all the pixilating and freezing. So I guess I'll cancel and go back to my Lacey DVD's. Sigh.
