GreenCine Mention in SF Chronicle

GreenCine was quoted in an article in the San Francisco Chronicle on exercise videos, which tied in with New Year's resolutions (of course).

WORKING HARD FOR LITTLE MONEY
When exercising to DVDs, try before you buy

Excerpt:

Netflix, GreenCine and Blockbuster each carry dozens to hundreds of workout titles, available for rent by mail without late-return fees. (Members can work on their no-procrastinating resolutions later.) Exercise DVDs are somewhat hidden on these sites, usually filed away under the "Sports and Fitness" category, if they're categorized at all. It's easier to find them by searching for words like "workout" or "yoga" than by scrolling through the endless list of sports documentaries.

Perhaps the reason these DVDs don't merit their own category is that they're not very popular. Craig Phillips, an editor at San Francisco's GreenCine.-com, says, "We do have some people who are interested in Pilates and yoga videos, so we do have a variety. They rent pretty well. Any other kind of exercise or fitness videos don't rent very well through us. My general sense is that people would rather own (the DVDs), just as they want to own 'Toy Story' for their kids because their kids want to watch it 500 times."

One thing that was cut out of the above quote is our emphasis on the fact that GreenCine also does sell exercise titles and they're fairly cheap. [Some pilates DVDs for sale; some yoga titles for sale]
