Anchor Bay Entertainment, Exercise TV, Gaiam, Inc. and independent producers use innovative CreateSpace platform for low-cost, low-risk distribution

CHARLESTON, S.C.–CreateSpace, part of the Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) group of companies, has joined with top names in fitness programming – Anchor Bay Entertainment, Exercise TV and Gaiam, Inc. – to make in-demand DVDs from today’s most popular exercise programs, personalities and trainers available to an even broader consumer base. In addition, independent fitness experts are offering a wide range of titles to customers using the CreateSpace platform, a one-stop shop for exercise entrepreneurs to develop and distribute their content directly to consumers at Amazon.com and through other channels.

“The Firm: Bootcamp 3 in 1 Mix”

The latest fitness content made available through CreateSpace features big-name brands and titles such as “The Firm: Bootcamp 3 in 1 Mix” and “Cardio Burn Kickbox” from Gaiam, “Leslie Sansone: Start! Walking at Home – 1&2 Mile Walk” and “Leslie Sansone: Start! Walking at Home – 3 Mile Walk” from Exercise TV, as well as “Crunch: Cardio Go Go Dance” and “Pick Your Level: Fat to Firm Fast” from Anchor Bay Entertainment.

CreateSpace DVD on-Demand is the ideal solution for distributors in the booming fitness category to deliver a vast array of content to customers. From extensive libraries and celebrity workout series to independently created and produced releases, CreateSpace DVD on-Demand is a low-risk, cost-effective and inventory-free solution that enables content providers to make their titles readily available for purchase.

“CreateSpace DVD on-Demand gives leading distributors and independent creators alike an efficient and economical platform for bringing fitness DVDs to consumers nationwide, ensuring they reach wide audiences without the high costs, risks and challenges associated with stocking and shipping physical inventory,” said Dana LoPiccolo-Giles, managing director, CreateSpace.

In addition to working with established fitness content providers, CreateSpace has helped fitness entrepreneurs offer a growing selection of independent fitness titles. Among the popular DVDs independently created and produced by CreateSpace members are: “You On a Diet Workout” and “Fit Pack” from celebrity trainer Joel Harper, who has since been featured on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” and “The Dr. Oz Show,” and “Complete Prenatal Vinyasa Yoga & Short Forms,” a two-DVD set from Jennifer Wolfe. Wolfe, a yoga instructor and childbirth educator, effectively carved out her own niche in the prenatal yoga category. Her “Prenatal Vinyasa Yoga” DVD was named one of the “Best Prenatal DVDs” by Pregnancy magazine.

“Even though I didn’t have a traditional distributor, with CreateSpace, I feel I was able to be as visible as the people who get distribution through larger agencies,” said Wolfe. “Releasing my DVD through CreateSpace and the success I’ve seen since then has really helped to establish my credibility in the prenatal yoga world.”
