Charlene Prickett is in her 70s. I think she's completely retired, but I'm sure she still exercises.

I'm pretty sure Ilaria is in her 50s. She battled breast cancer recently but it looks like she is still instructing and offers a streaming membership ($129/month) for her live classes, and also an on demand membership ($39.99/month) for other recorded workouts. She definitely put out some of my favorite DVD workouts, but I don't see her putting out more on DVD. I'd like to be wrong about that, though

She is definitely motivating at any age!

Just did a Google search that brought up a bunch of "old-timers" (a few have already been mentioned):

Gilad = 66
Leslie Sansone = 60
Tamilee Webb = 62
Jake Steinfeld = 63
Denise Austin = 64
Kathy Smith = 69
Chalene Johnson = 52
Susan Powter = 63
Billy Banks = 65
Cory (Corinna!) Everson = 63
Kiana Tom = 56 (ESPN Fitness Pros, I think)
Richard Simmons = 72
Rachel McLish = 65

I know that all of these instructors aren't currently "active" but thought it would be interesting to know for comparison's sake.

Gin Miller is still rockin' it (I love her step stuff from decades ago and her newer stuff looks great). And Ginette Deslauriers of Urban Tai Chi fame has a YouTube channel with fresh routines

I did not know many of these instructors were still producing workouts, probably because I almost exclusively use DVDs. But if they are still making workouts, I wish they would make them in DVD format. Maybe they don’t because of the expense? I don’t know.

I think they started to lose money making dvds. When they couldn't make back the money they spent producing them, they stopped. Cathe is an exception.

Oo, yay!!! That's so exciting. I like her YouTube channel but she herself hasn't really appeared on it that I've noticed.

Anyone know how old Cathe's long timers Brenda and Cedie are? Yesterday I did one of Cathe's workouts from 1996 and Cedie was in it as strawberry blonde. Brenda wasn't in it.
