i wondered about this too, however, i think they want to give the impression she's still involved because if she appeared absent or retired, people might not want to buy/subscribe.
she has a strong brand presence, as they say in marketing parlance.

I think I read that she retired around the time of Covid. She wanted to focus on family and her grandkids.
I miss her workouts! I tried the new platform of instructors and they were not the same for me.

I think she retired as well, I also tried the new platform and didn’t really like the instructors. They’re great but I am a super Leslie fan so it just wasn’t the same as you said. I believe I read that her daughter now runs the business but nothing official has been announced.

I think Leslie herself carries those workouts. They are very basic and that's the selling point, but I think her personality makes the workouts go by. Even with the sound off and listening to something else, she's very expressive and genuine. I like Kathy Smith's "march to fitness" which is quite different from Leslie, but Kathy acts like she's working really hard, and it tickles me every time because I never believe it.
Leslie pumped out tons of workouts that varied nary a bit and often had the same set, and yet I can remember them individually pretty well which surprises me. She just seems to be unique. I can't imagine a Firm instructor, for instance, leading a Leslie style walk. It would be like watching paint dry. I think Leslie seems like a regular person, too. Like a friend or neighbor or cousin who bugged you to walk. While many instructors I use were college athletes or runners or models or dancers or something. Leslie just walked. I do wish she would keep going. |
