We are all different! I’m the opposite, purging things I’m not using makes me feel lighter and unencumbered. I’ve passed a lot of stuff, including fitness equipment and DVDs, to neighbours (via a local FB page), goodwill, and VFers. I like to think they’ve found a good home where they’ll be used. I still have more DVDs I’d like to purge, but mailing them is a hassle, especially cross border.

This is so true and I've personally benefited from your purging DVDs! So thank you for not being a hoarder like I am!

Don't be so mad, I had two, and they both broke around the same place (the ring area), the first one got replaced, but I had to pay for shipping it back to Gaiam US, after a while the replacement broke as well. I am careful with my stuff, and I am not that heavy at all, so or I was the unlucky one (twice!), or something was wrong with their design. Luckily I still can use the DVDs with my bosu type trainer, it is more challenging though, but still doable.

Oh that stinks, ASAS! How frustrating! I was thinking of getting some of their workouts to do on my BOSU. Good to know it's doable, thanks!

I gave away my BOSU and stability ball. I no longer have the related DVDs. That was years ago and I never looked back.

I did a purge once of my DVDs ended up reacquiring most of them.

I am holding on to all of my DVDs. I love them. They are gold to me.

I am thinking about throwing a lot of dvds in the bin.

The charity shops do not want them, It is too much to ship the out to people abroad and a lot of people in the UK only stream, download etc.. They are not interested in them.
I realise how old I am when colleagues at work are telling me that they do not know how to use a cd player or dvd.

Nooo!!! I'm surprised thrift stores won't take them. I have bought a lot of workouts at secondhand stores.

I donate my exercise dvds to the library and the friends of the library. Some go in the library collection and others are sold at the friends sale. I donated 10 a few weeks ago to the sale and came in the next day and they were all gone. I felt good someone was going to get use out of them.

I do the same thing.

Step in CLE

I have an almost new step in the Cle area.. tried selling it on FB with no interest ( very reasonably). I don’t want to just put it in the trash!
