My story:
I have always loved working out and I have quite an extensive collection of exercise videos. But it was my use of Collage Videos this past year that has made a significant difference in my life. It's not only in the way that I look, but in the way I feel about myself and my future.

Last year I had a long term relationship end, and I moved back to the Lancaster PA area after being away for a number of years. As a single mother of a 2-year-old son, this was a difficult transition. I really didn’t know many people outside of my immediate family so I joined a gym. But it was often hard for me to fit in the classes that I would have liked to take because of the babysitting situation. And the machines soon became monotonous, and didn’t really give me the diversity that I wanted.

So I decided to stay home and began to put together a program for myself with videos incorporating weights and cardio at least twice a day. I especially liked using Jari Love’s "Get Ripped" and "Get Extremely Ripped" series. But it is Cathe Freiderich’s videos, which work you both anaerobically and aerobically, that I have been focusing on and doing just about every day. I particularly credit Cathe’s advanced videos for sculpting my body, raising my level of stamina and getting me into the best shape I have ever experienced. I also find Patrick Goudeau’s videos to be extremely challenging, but at the same time, a lot of fun.

I spend so much time with my favorite instructors that they have become a part of my life, and have been a great inspiration to me. I’m grateful for the work that they have done in putting together such motivating, safe and effective programs. And I appreciate what they have done for me at a time when putting effort into something I like to do paid off for me with both physical and emotional rewards.

I had an average build, but I always wanted to be lean and cut. These videos were the answer for me. Now I have achieved that goal. They have also inspired me to want to help others reach their goals. So I became certified to teach spin and aerobic classes. And I now teach part time at a recreational center near my home. My life has grown in many ways this past year. And while I put in the hard work to get where I am, I couldn’t have done it without my favorite videos and the great instructors who always challenge and motivate me to keep moving forward.
