About the Actor
---------------
Before there was Zumba, Tae Bo, Spinning or even Step Aerobics,
fitness video pioneer Cathe Friedrich recognized the need to
provide a simple, flexible, affordable and motivating way for
Americans to exercise and stay fit. Nearly thirty years and over
200 home exercise workouts later, hundreds of thousands of people
have credited Cathe Friedrich for helping them to transform their
bodies and their lives with her videos and television shows. Like
going through life with a friend, Cathe s followers have grown in
their workouts as she has learned and expanded her video
offerings, staying focused on her three guiding principles:
Professionalism, Passion, and Quality. Cathe is often credited
with being the first to bring advanced fitness videos to the home
exerciser and helped to shatter the theory that only celebrities
could star in fitness videos. As a long-time Certified Group
Fitness Instructor, Cathe has taught countless classes at her New
Jersey club and has helped train many of today s top
instructors. Since 1986, Cathe has been certified through the
American Council on Exercise. Additional specialty fitness
certifications include: Indoor Cycling, Body Pump, Kickboxing,
Boxing, Prenatal Fitness, Resist-A-Ball, YogaFit, and more. In
2011, Cathe was inducted into the Fitness Hall of Fame along side
other profound leaders, such as Arnold Schwartzenegger, Richard
Simmons and Kathy Smith. As a leading innovator in the home
exercise video industry, she founded Step N Motion Videos in 1988
and in 1989, created one of the first step aerobic videos. Cathe
continues to produce fun, intense, and challenging workouts for
all body types and fitness levels. Her award-winning workouts
have been featured in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal,
Dallas News, Fox Business News, NBC Nightly News, CBS News, QVC
and the Philadelphia Inquirer. and fitness writers have
published articles about her in Shape, Oxygen, Self, , Fit,
Consumer Digest and Fitness magazines. While appearing on Fox
Business News, Cathe shared the story of how she began in the
fitness business. At 16, she took an aerobics class and three
weeks later, Cathe was asked to teach it and was hooked. A few
years later, she was teaching a creative movement class at a
fitness studio on the top floor of Carnegie Hall, where she used
fourteen inch benches as part of her workout. At the same time,
Step Reebok was launching what is now known as step aerobics to
the world. Cathe incorporated step into her philosophy, creating
her first video, Step N Motion One, which was also one of the
first and most influential step aerobic videos of its time.
Today, her fitness empire includes all types of workouts and is
one of the largest privately-owned fitness video libraries in the
world. Collage Video, a source for exercise videos since 1987,
says this about Cathe on their web site: Since the early 1990s,
Cathe Friedrich s videos have set the standard for challenging
workouts. Cathe Friedrich s workout video technique is excellent;
her cuing style is very direct. These exercise videos will
challenge even the elite athlete! The Dallas Morning News wrote:
To say that Cathe Friedrich workout videos are tough is like
saying Everest slopes upward. Discovery Channel s FitTV, where
Cathe s workouts aired for seven seasons nationally, declared:
Cathe is one of the most popular trainers on our network. She is
a power-intense cardio-buster, a punch and crunch trainer. Always
on the cutting edge, Cathe recognized the power of the internet
and was the first to sell fitness videos online in 1997. Today,
Cathe Dot Com is one of the largest and most-visited fitness
websites and Cathe s pioneering work in this area has inspired
other instructors to market and promote their own fitness videos
in a similar fashion.
