My thoughts too!
I’m looking forward to trying Lazy Dancer Tips & Dansique Fitness.

I don’t think anyone hear was tearing down those who don’t offer free content. It’s more a comment on business practices. Just like some companies that I purchase from never have sales or discounts. I like the product and am willing to pay.

In the spirit of the season, perhaps it’s best not jumping to conclusions?

I think you misread my post? I wrote that I’m happy that people AREN’T TEARING DOWN those who don’t offer a lot of freebies. I didn’t accuse anyone of doing so. I’m sorry if that wasn’t clear to you.

Here’s what I wrote:

I was pleased to see such a positive thread.

Chiming in and agreeing on Jessica Smith and Pahla Bowers. Also, HasFIT has a lot of free content.

Not sure if Travis Eliot has already been mentioned. He just posted one of the practices from his newest set. THIS is the link he provided. The newest practice is at the bottom. There are multiple others above it.

I certainly don't fault instructors for not offering free content (I mean, it's how they make a living), but I LOVE when instructors offer loooong preview clips. Like, I'd buy from many more new instructors if they posted generous previews. 10 seconds of scattered shots don't give me a clue of what to expect.

I agree! Love the long clips so you can really get a feel for the workouts. I also appreciate when sites offer a free trial on their streaming memberships.

Agree. There are all sorts of business models out there, and I don’t think of generosity usually being a factor.

Lots of free content, in addition to those already mentioned:
Fitness Blender
UptotheBeatFit
Dance fitness with Jessica

Barre3 has some free workouts.
Kelly Coffey Meyer has a handful of her Raw strength workouts free on YouTube.

Yes, this. Or at least enough of a sampling of free workouts that I can get an idea. I don’t want to pay $20 or $30 sight unseen (but then, a lot of DVDs used to be sold that way, I guess).
