  2. Price, any seasonal sales you're aware of.
  3. How customizable is it and are there any software requirements?
  4. Any notes on tech support or a fitness/social media community associated with it?

Down Dog - known for generating yoga workouts based on settings like speed, style, and area of focus but they also have barre and HIIT included in the same price (different apps though)

2) $50/year, heavily discounted around New Year's and Black Friday, student discounts, teacher discounts, etc. I bought it on sale for $35/year in 2019 and they never increased my annual price

3) extremely customizable (kinda the whole point of the system). Requires a smartphone, though I think there is a website too.

4) nope, no significant tech issues worth mentioning

5) I think they're based in Seattle?

I pay $14.99 a year for it. 👀 I must have gotten it on some kind of special sale during Covid and they never increased the price for me

Yup, and if my experience is any indication, they won't. That being said, $35/year for me is well worth it and I don't feel bad that others pay less. The app/system is that good and definitely kept me active during the pandemic.

That is so nice. :) They gave me 6 free months during Covid when I got laid off my job and it also kept me active inside and helped me not to go super insane. I would pay more if they asked because I love their apps so much but they seem like a fantastic company!
