Fitness by Cathe Cardio Club Step
I've had the old Step Company step for years and although it was holding up ok from all my Cathe stepping, I had to get Cathe's new Step with Cathe's March discount. The package was really damaged on arrival but the step survived. It looks exactly like the Step Company step BUT the one thing that is much better is the top of the step is softer and has a little squish to it and is easier on the hands. No more grid lines on my hands from doing pushups on my step. Its easier to pivot. Feels better for my feet. The step also has Cathe's name on it! Something I'm proud to use! The Low Max dvd that comes with the step has a different generic cover as the original Low Max Cover(and not Fit TV cover either).. It a Low Max generic DVD. It has a Altus orangish color. But I'm happy to have it because its a great workout. This step will take alot of blood, sweat and tears. Well, maybe not blood, but you get the picture.
Thanks CoachCathe!

Fitness Gloves
These gloves are so cute in color and style. The only problem is that the Large is still small. I can wear them but have a heck of a time getting them off. They are too small!

4 lb. (2 lb's per glove) Weighted Gloves
I have a large hand and ordered these in L/XL but it was still very tight. The glove is FULLY covered. Not like the other 2LB gloves that are open at the palm. The 4lb gloves have 4, 1/2 lb little sandbags in each zipper pocket. So you can reduce weight by 1/2 poundage. The glove is well made. The zipper pocket is stuffed to the max so there is no room to fit in any more weight. Were talkin' stuffed sausage! It was kind of hard to get the little 1/2 pounds back in once you take it out. I don't have nails either. I saw that some of the STS gals had trouble getting the poundage in and zipper closed with long manicured nails. Anyway, I can't use these gloves because they are too small for my large hand. Kudos to Cathe for making heavier weighted gloves though. Great for STS!

2-in-1 Power Medicine Ball and Kettlebell - 4 Lbs
I bought the 4lb Cathe purple Med Ball/Kettlebell and love it. Its got a nice grip. the great thing about it that it bounces! I can use it for those older Firm's and Fitprimes where they bounce the ball for cardio(no, I don't have neighbor's below)..I also love using it for ab work on my stability ball when I do Core Max. It has a good grip and great color. I love the Cathe logo on it. It can also be used as a kettlebell. The ball comes with a handle that you have to screw on. I haven't tried this since I bought the Cathe Med ball for the Med ball and I'm not into kettlebells.

2 lb. Weighted Gloves
I used these 2lb weighted gloves for my STS rotation and really loved it. Yes, the palm is open but its good for those with big hands. I also like this because it gives the palms air and lets me feel what I'm gripping or if I want to use them for kickboxing, I can close my fist. it has a nice wrist wrap to feel secure. Each glove has two 1/2 lb sand squares. The little sandbags in this glove are softer and a bit bigger than the sandbags in the 4lb gloves. The sandbags in the 4lb weighted gloves(2 lbs in each glove) are smaller and more compact. I tried to put the smaller sandbags in my 2 lb weighted gloves but it wasn't as comfortable because the little sandbags were stiff. You can fit in 1/2 lb more in these 2lb gloves but thats about it. The zipper won't close if you try and put more in them.
I recommend these gloves for bigger hands or men size hands. They are great for kickboxing and also powerwalking.

Body Max 2 DVD
I did this workout today for the first time and it is a great workout! I like the fact that Cathe doesn't really spend to much time teaching the steps,so its more for advance excisers. Someone had mentioned that this is a "eat your wheaties workout" and it is for sure! You will feel like a champ!

MMA Kickbox DVD
As some others mentioned, I think this is a good workout for an easy day. It has some different, interesting moves, but it doesn't come close to the cardio level of KickMax. I'd say it is also easier compared with Kick, Punch & Crunch, or even the kickbox on the 4-day Split. The core section, too, is not super intense. Overall, I'd say it is great for a beginner/intermediate, or a day when you don't have much energy.

4 lb. (2 lb's per glove) Weighted Gloves
I wanted these to allow increments for the STS workouts. I already had the 2-lb. ones and I wanted this increment as well.
I really did not like them. The weight packs are extremely difficlut to get into the opening on the back of the hand so it is very difficult to use them during the STS because I couldn't make the adjustments during the STS breaks.
Despite that, I continued to try to use them but the zipper (plastic) broke on my third use. I tossed them.
I love the concept but think that velcro closure straps would be better than the zippers. Also, the opening on the back of the hand needs to be bigger - the weight packs should not have to be forced in.

Cathe Friedrich's HiiT workout video and high intensity exercise dvd
Go Cathe! Please keep making this wonderful workout DVDs for us. You get more and more fears with the time. I love that this workout is only 30 min, but don't let that foul you. It kicks your butt. Each segment let you out of air, but the good thing is that you have time between segments to recuperate. I personally took a bit more time between segments. Each segment let me dripping in sweat. It is very fun too. This DVD is a must have in your Cathe collection.

Firewalker Loops - 3 TPR bands L/M/H
I purchased these bands to use with a workout titled "High and Tight". They worked great for that workout! Also I tried using them for firewalkers and I felt them!!
The loops are the perfect intensity. They are well made and comfortable to wear. I'm very pleased with my purchase!

Firewalker Loops - 3 TPR bands L/M/H
I love these bands! Not only are they nicer looking than other brands, they are also more comfortable! The bands are wider, almost double than my versa loops and bc of that, they are far more comfortable to wear. They don't roll down nearly as much as the versas do. The texture of them is also nice and I find that it allows the bands to not slip as much as other bands that I own. They also grip better on your shoes.
Included in the packaging was a little 2 sided index card with exercises that you can do with the bands for upper and lower body. For the price, there is nothing on the market that comes close to comparing to these bands. This is now the 3rd item that I have purchsed under the Cathe Brand Name and all 3 I am very pleased with. These bands would be so easy to produce cheaply much like the bands we've all gotten as a "bonus" in other instructors DVDs. Not these! Worth the money and I'd buy them again in a heart beat!

24 in. X 72 in. Double Thick Yoga/Pilates Mat - Yellow/Orange
I like this mat a lot. I bought this to replace one that a cat destroyed and it works for what I need. I like that it is much longer and thicker than my last one. However, it's not as "sticky" as my last yoga mat which was nice especially when you're doing more powerful yoga and stretching practices; it would help prevent slipping better.
Aside from the less sticky texture, I like it! It's bright and allows me to do what I need.

Mini foam Mat for Step
I received this in the mail today and I think it is well worth the small price tag! It is approx 2-2.5 times thicker than Cathe's thickest yoga mat. It is the same thickness as your typical pilates mat and is made of durable foam. You can easily kneel on this pad or cushion your tailbone without issues. I use my Step for all of Cathe's strength DVDs and this allows me the range of motion with chest work, padding for bony or sensitive body parts, nor will I trip over it like I have with regular sized mats.
It comes with an elastic strap so you can roll it up and store it away. I had no issues from packaging with mine and it rolled out almost 100% flat the first time out of the box. Cathe's name is printed on top which for me, adds to the motivation factor when working out. It's just the right amount of padding and length to get the job done without the extra bulk that regular mats and towels provide.
The best $12 I have ever spent!

Athletic Step DVD
I've only done this workout twice, but already know it will become a staple for me. The title is perfect because it is not highly choreographed or dancey, just fun, good old fashioned step.
There are some high impact moves and I have bad knees, so instead of modifying, I've used a 4" bench and it works great. After going through all the segments, you put it all together in the end, which I've always liked. Cathe cues excellently as always. The added cardio/leg moves at the end are a great bonus. Even though they have some intensity, they lower your heart rate a bit to ready for the cool down.
The music is pretty good, although I'd like it to be a bit louder. Some of Cathe's DVD's give you the ability to raise the volume on the music, but this one doesn't.
For those who prefer more technical steps, this is still a great DVD for days when you want a quality workout without thinking too hard.

MMA Boxing DVD
Liked the upper body workouts & drills. Core workout at the end really worked out my abs. Kick, Punch & Crunch is my absolute favorite cardio workout, but I really like this as well. Need variety in my workouts so I will also order MMA Kickbox.

4 lb. (2 lb's per glove) Weighted Gloves
I too have been very satisfied with most everything I have purchased from Cathe.com, but these are the exception. I ordered the small/medium and they are much too small, although my hands are on the small side. The zipper opening and pouch are, in my opinion, too small to get the 1/2 pound weight sacks into and out of easily. I love the idea of being able to increase poundage in tiny increments and Cathe makes it look so easy in STS! Given the relatively low price of the gloves, I do not want to incur the expense or go through the hassle of exchanging them for a larger size, so I offered to give them to a friend with smaller hands.

MMA Fusion DVD
This workout is fantastic and contains so many cool moves. I really like the second routine.
My heart rate DID go up.
To people whining about it not being hard enough, did you and I do the same workout?
I gave it my all and the workout delivered!
I strongly recommend this workout - it is a very unique way of doing a martial arts workout. I will be enjoying this workout again and again!

Step Moves DVD
I have done Cathe workouts for years and I love the variety. My only problem with many of her workouts is they invariably have several "high intensity blast" sections. While I understand the benefit of these, sometimes I would like a workout that maintains my heart rate throughout. This one does, and it combines many moves I've seen and some I haven't in new and interesting way. It will take a while to get the choreography down, but once I do, this will be a workout I'll use again and again. My favorite Cathe step workout so far!

Step Moves DVD
I own many of Cathe videos. The steps on this one are challenging and lot of fun. It is not way too difficult, but it takes about 3-4 times practice to learn the entire routine. It is not hard on the muscles like some of Cathe videos, but you sweat a lot. I am using this video those days when my muscles are sore and I want to take a break from the hard core workout. Keep the good work Cathe!!!!
