Thousands have credited Fitness Hall of Fame member Cathe Friedrich for helping them transform their bodies and their lives with her award-winning videos. Cathe was one of the first to bring advanced workout videos—and one of the first “step” aerobic videos—to the home exerciser, and helped shatter the theory that only celebrities star in fitness videos. Over her many years of experience, Cathe has steadfastly followed three guiding principles: Professionalism. Passion. Quality. Collage Video, a source for exercise videos since 1987, says this about Cathe on their website: “Since the early 1990s, Cathe Friedrich’s videos have set the standard for ‘challenging workouts.’ Cathe Friedrich’s workout video technique is excellent; her cuing style is very direct. These exercise videos will challenge even the elite athlete!” The Dallas Morning News wrote: “To say that Cathe Friedrich workout videos are tough is like saying Everest slopes upward.” Discovery Channel’s Fit TV, where Cathe’s workouts aired for seven seasons nationally, declared: “Cathe is one of the most popular trainers on our network. She is a power-intense cardio-buster, a punch and crunch trainer.” In App Purchase – User can purchase auto-renewable subscription to access app content – Terms of use: http://shop.cathe.com/terms_privacy.asp – The length of the subscription: 30 days (free 7 days trial) – Payment will be charged to iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase – Subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24-hours before the end of the current period – Account will be charged for renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period, and identify the cost of the renewal – Subscriptions may be managed by the user and auto-renewal may be turned off by going to the user's Account Settings after purchase – Any unused portion of a free trial period, if offered, will be forfeited when the user purchases a subscription to that publication, where applicable
