I agree with the Captain. I had a room setup in the basement and was going to watch the DVDs on a laptop or portable player, or even on an old TV hooked up to my old PS2. Unfortunately I couldn't do some of the poses/moves in the basement because the ceiling was too low. So, now I push the coffee table to the side and do it in my living room on the main floor and play the DVDs on my big screen TV. It works great!

I also have had the Flames game on mute and put a laptop beside the TV and worked out off of that. It wasn't so bad because I knew the workout well enough that I didn't have to constantly watch what was on the screen.

As for App vs DVDs. I would prefer the DVDs because that is what works for me. I paid $90 or so to get the Max Pack a few years ago and that was my cost to do the workouts (aside from getting HR monitor and a mat). With the App you are paying an on going cost, which you can use to motivate you to keep doing the workouts, that is good and you do get more workouts, or you get live instructor led workouts, or you can view those workouts later. There is also points on the online App to keep you motivated to reach the next "level". So there is that too.

Both have good features, you just have to figure out what works for you. DVDs work for me and I get to save money. I don't get the extra workouts, but I'm not at a point where I'm bored and need to try new things. I've been doing this off and on for a few years now and I've saved money by doing it the way I do it.

I hope this helps.
