Whenever the registration day is, there will be a time that registration opens up - I can't remember if it was 12:00 or 1:00 EST. Then it is a made rush to register. There are about 105 spots that are available. It sold out in a matter of 5 to 10 minutes last year. Once the spots are filled, they start a waiting list. There are 2 hotels right next door to each other - I don't think there is a mad rush to register for them, lol. There is bus transportation to/from the gym. It is about a 15 to 20 minute drive.

I looked back at my calendar and last year sign-ups were Feb. 18 (Friday) at 1:00. I hate it. It's so nerve-wracking that's why I'd almost rather go to a destination RT because I don't think signups are that cut-throat.

Oh yeah, definitely don't worry about keeping up. There are all kinds of fitness levels, shapes and sizes there. I even saw some people give up and walk to the back of the room and just watch. It's definitely not like we are all in sync and all look like Jai and Lorraine, lol. Have you watched some of the video of the road trips? It'll kind of give you a sense of what it's like. Though I have to say being with all those people there in that kind of electric atmosphere with Cathe there, you'll definitely have the energy to keep up.

I know what you mean about being obsessed. For a while my family thought it was a cult especially when I told them I wanted to go workout with her for an entire weekend. If you're obsessed now, you will be more so when you come back. The one in NJ, at least last year, Brenda, Jai, Lorraine and Cede, came on Saturday night and then again at breakfast on Sunday. I was able to get Brenda's autograph for my hubby because he has a crush on her, lol. Pretty sure she thought I was a stalker. It's really cool too when you're in the studio and then you go home and do a DVD and your like, OMG, I was just there!!! I'll be honest I was in tears going up because I was so afraid because I didn't know anybody and then I was in tears coming home because it was over. There's like this big emotional let down when it's over. It takes a couple of days for it to pass. It's also really nerve wracking when you get to go up on Saturday night and there is like a group of 4 or so and you do like a 30 second step routine with her because you're so afraid you're going to mess up.

I can't watch those videos until I know for sure I'm in for NJ. I so wish I was going to Chicago. You're going to have a great time but I'm really jealous of you!!
