1. Moves that are too "dancey". I'm a guy and I'm uncoordinated. If you're going to try to make me flap my arms like a bird while doing the two-step, we're not going to have any kind of workout relationship. I don't have any Cathe's outside of STS Meso 1 because her moves are always to feminine for me to duplicate. There's even a few workouts done by guys where the moves are too feminine to duplicate.
2. All-women casts. This isn't an absolute, but one of the first things I look at is if any guys are in the background. If not, I figure that the workout isn't suitable for guys and don't buy it. Hence the reason I don't have any of the KCM workouts (though that will probably change soon). It's probably not a valid assumption and I like looking at super-fit chicks working out, but that's what tends to happen. 3. Poor lighting/dark sets/bland sets. I've avoided almost every Jari Love because her sets are too dark. Give me something easy to look at or nothing at all. Shooting it against a dull wall isn't going to capture my attention. If you don't want to pay for a set, go with the Tom Holland minimalist set, which is at least different enough to be interesting. 4. Too perky or too dumpy lead instructors. I'd probably like Susan Chung's Rapid Fire, but she looks like she just rolled out of bed in that workout. At the same time, there are many instructors who are far too perky for me to workout to at 5:00 AM. 5. Weird camera work. I don't want special effects on my vids. While it's fine to switch cameras to highlight something else, this ain't a music video and I want to clearly see their form so I can try to duplicate it. 6. I'm not flexible. At all. Period. End of story. I will never be flexible. Period. End of story. So if you're to bend and twist a lot, I'm not going to buy your vids. Period. End of Story.
