VF get-togethers, conferences, and road trips: Check the News & Events forum regularly to see if there is a get-together scheduled for your area. If not, consider trying to organize one. They are terrific opportunities to meet others interested in fitness videos and living a healthier lifestyle. Many include video preview parties which give you the opportunity to sample videos and instructors you may not have seen before. Please don't think you have to be in good shape to come to an event--VFers come in all shapes and sizes, and we do NOT look like we just stepped off the pages of Shape magazine.

Wait, there's more...
