Me too, no good music, no workout lol

Thanks for the article! I don't stream except for free utube. I did not realize most streaming workouts did not have good music

Aww, man - I sure hope that changes as time goes on. I guess I will have to turn the sound down & play my own - but that is so inconvenient!

I'm not a boomer, I like DVDs too, but my tastes are slow to change, and I like doing the same workout over and over, so I don't constantly need new workouts. I tend to be on the trailing edge of technologies anyway.

That being said, I might be more into streaming if I had real internet...so maybe when I move to the city my preference will change.

Part of the problem is that steaming workouts have less bandwidth, so the quality suffers.

Not a boomer but I love DVDS. I enjoy having them around and when my internet has problems I can keep working out without worry.

I'm also not a Boomer, but I appreciate DVDs for their reliability (always able to access). I also like owning the item, so that I can resell or gift it if it's not getting used.

I would be swayed towards streaming if the music were really good (current songs, even house music). I would be sold on the TA streaming if it were affordable at all (it's $475 for 6 months, or $270 for 3 months! ) (there is also not a library of workouts: apparently each workout is removed weekly as the new one is put up).

I'm still hanging onto some VHS tapes! My internet connection also makes streaming an extremely choppy, disjointed experience.

The reason I like streaming and downloads over DVDs(and I'm 50) is space. I move a lot with my husband's job and don't like packing and moving workouts.

I have no desire to stream my workouts. Owning the physical item is what I want. I hope instructors realize there is a place for both. (figured crossed)
