Fun Friday Thread: Reminisce about when retail stores sold fitness videos
Inspired by comments on the Thrift Store Finds thread, let's walk down memory lane and share "brick and mortar" stores where fitness videos were sold.
Ross Stores
in the Thrift thread, i mentioned how i had found a sealed Scott Cole AM PM Tai Chi with a Ross sticker for $8.99 on it. I bought the DVD from the thrift store for $2.99, plus I had a coupon.
I had a nice memory of buying many fitness videos there, like Jari Love, Tamilee Webb, the Firm. i got the bulk of my early Jari purchases there.
other places:
Blockbuster Video (bought several VHS there, like Kathy Smith and The Firm)
Borders Books
Walden Books (bought Callanetics on betamax from there!!! I later upgraded to VHS, also from Walden)
Let's share our memories!
