I really like the Crunch Bootcamp Training with Susan Hitzman, from 1999, which I think made it to DVD. My favorite from VHS is called Master Class Aerobics from 1996. The instructor is Michael Perron. It's an hour of hi/lo and it's super fun. I converted it to DVD but I don't think I've done it since I converted it. I should definitely do it again soon.

ESPN used to air Crunch workout shows. They were a half hour and included hip/hop, hi lo, weights, salsa, etc. I still have a VHS full of shows I taped from TV.


Youtube has one with Sue Hitzman!

i put together this list based on the VF reviews index (did keyword search in the Title engine), old Collage catalogs, and some listings on Amazon. some titles are missing information because it wasn't available (date of release, for example).

Note that whoever owned the license to the Crunch brand created the videos separately from the Crunch gyms, and the video licensing apparently got sold to someone else. this is evident in how the video products were marketed and distributed.

the columns are misaligned because this came from an excel spreadsheet. the sequence is:

Title

I like the Ellen Barrett Crunch workouts. I also do a Sara Ivanhoe Crunch yoga every Saturday.

That's about the extent of my Crunch tolerance. There's an awful lot of hamming/posturing in those workouts, lol. And the clothes and hair remind me of high school -- very Spice Girls-y.

my earliest experience was around 2003 with Ellen's videos on DVD, which i still own and love. i used Jenn Galardi's workouts, Lizbeth Garcia, and finally, Sara Ivanhoe's yoga workouts. Sara's are really good. Sue Hitzmen's (of Melt book fame) Boot camp is a great weights workout and Violet Zaki's Cardio Sculpt workout, both on DVD.

i was surprised at some point when i found out that Crunch was how Billy Blanks initially got started, and then he went on his own.

also, when i put together the lists above, i was surprised that ExerciseTV distributed a few of some of the newer content.

There used to be a Fit TV channel (it was part of the basic package on my cable) and many of these Crunch workouts came from there. Cathe workouts also showed up on that channel. She didn't film anything special, they were lifted directly from her videos. Ah the good old days!

I had several Crunch workouts on VHS back in the day. I loved Fat Blaster Plus despite all the whooping and wanting the one background exerciser to put her hair in a damn ponytail!

The only Crunch workouts I've repurchased on DVD are Sarah Ivanhoe's Yoga workouts. They are just so soothing! Love her!

At one time, I had lots of Crunch workouts. The only ones that survived the periodic purges are The Best of step and three Ellens: Pick Your Spot Pilates, Fat Burning Pilates, and Burn & Firm Pilates.

I have it in my head that Kendall Hogan would be wonderfully nice to meet in person.

Makes sense that the Exchange Mod could do some wizardry, thanks bzar.

Super shocked on just How Many Crunch titles there are.

I also own the Ellen and Sarah Crunch workouts. Especially love Joy of Yoga.
