That is NOT a good sign for the future of exercise DVDs

Totally agree. I would circle, dog-ear, dream, and wish over those workouts in the catalog and practically skipped back from the mailbox when I had one in my hot, little hands.

I'm shopping right now. I'm definitely going to miss Collage.

I remember requesting my first Collage catalog from an ad in magazine...they were my first (and at the time my only) connection to the world of fitness videos. I've always appreciated their graphic breakdown of the tapes. True confessions -- at one time I cut out their descriptions, glued them on an index card and kept them inside the corresponding video boxes. They will be missed.

What a shame I'm going to miss their catalogs. I remember how there was always an excited, long thread when the latest one began appearing in mailboxes.

Thanks for making me giggle in the midst of all the sadness! I have a ton of their catalogs lying around, too.

I was also saddened to see the email. Honestly though I haven't purchased a DVD in a long time from anybody. Tonight I break my no buying streak and will purchase a DVD from them for old time's sake.

Wow! So sorry to hear this, almost feel like somebody in the family has passed. I just made my final order at a big discount. Thanks for posting.

I am really sad about it also. I ordered my first Leslie Sansone workouts from them on VHS.

I think I've saved every catalog I have received since 2003.

Years ago a co-worker saw the catalog on my desk. He remarked (semi kidding) that he hated the catalog because his wife spent too much money ordering from them. That made me laugh.
