I found it googling reviews for different Barre Workouts. It must have been around the time I purchased my Fluidity Bar in 2012. Around this time, I also got into Zumba. I wish I had known about the group earlier because prior to that, I was big into The Firm and Denise Austin. I've always preferred working out at home, by myself!
I was on the computer searching for reviews of exercise videos. I found this and the old “Ya-ya’s” board. I miss the Ya-yas, but what can you do? It took me awhile to find the discussion forums. Facebook and Instagram aren’t quite the same for me as a message board, even with the groups.
I found VF in 2003, also by googling reviews of workouts - in my case, it was Taebo workouts. I joined straight away and though I don’t post much I love the support.
Back in the prehistoric era, I bought this thing everyone was talking about called a computer. I didn’t want to buy one, but wanted to know what the big deal was about the internet. I had been exercising with videos and somehow stumbled across VF’s reviews. I did not know about the forum until I read about it in Cathe’s forum. Like others, I found Cathe through Collage. I found Collage in an ad in a fitness magazine. In 2000, I met VFers on the Cathe roadtrip.
