There were issues with Ty Parr's song; not sure what it was, but for whatever reason, his song was not used--or at least not as often. ----------WolfSky9
I watched the national aerobics championship from '86 on, & finally participated in the '90 Reebok ------I was far outclassed, but it was fun to compete anyway.------IMO------hands-down--------Joan Wenson was THE best, ever, male or female. No one was ever better. Indeed, IMO, she had been robbed in '88, & easily could have won in '89, although Tinaj Milwarn WAS really good, I still thought Joan was better both years. She took the 1st World Championship easily in '91 ,. & was by then, recognized as best ever, by many of us. ------------MJL< 76 y/o
I graduated college in 1987. Yes we definitely did aerobics!!!! At my gym I did aerobics class, stair master, weights and mat work 3-4 times a week. It was much easier to be fit with a lean muscular body due to nutrition as well! Food was so much more healthy.
@@dasdovian7785 I don't think Crossfit filled the hole. It's really a niche community and you dont see the crossfit championships on mainstream networks. Plus Crossfit has a lotta flaws for being a less han 25y/o fitness sport

The leg warmers!!! I recently ordered some neon pink and green 💗 💚 lef warmers, they are not the same as mine in the 80's, but they are pretty close!!!
So I've been binge-watching these in chronological order...and wow is it weird to not hear Crystal Light anymore...also interesting to note the names of gyms that hadn't previously appeared.
2023 bro, How's that goal of becoming Worlds Greatest Aerobics Champion? I see youtube videos like this and get inspitired for about 5 minutes in my chair also.
Let me tell EVERYONE : 1. Joan Wenson was THE very best competitive aerobics performer of all-time. ---------THE best.-----------------2. Melanie Peck was a drop-dead knock-out!! -------------WolfSky9, 73 y/o
Hands-Down, no one----NO ONE EVER----could top Joan Wenson! She was THE best ever. Here, & in the World Championships, she was awesome beyond words. ---------------WolfSky9
Joan Wenson is the one that stood out to me the most from the 1988 video, because of the way she mugged for the camera in the opening. In the 1989 opening she also stands out a lot in the crowd from her enthusiasm.
Such intensity, perfect execution and top sense of the show. Hard to believe but none of them are pro it seems... Just insane I watch several years and this 1989 edition is clearly the momentum of this competition
Brenda's Body Shop in Oakland, MD, is still going. Brenda still runs it. It amused me as Oakland is kind of a remote, dinky town in the far western part of the state (very pretty, though) and I didn't expect a top-class athlete to come from there. Got proved wrong and reminded me to not be a snob!
Reebok has been around since the end of the 50s and was a major sports band in the late 70s in the US. The 80s definitely made Reebok a household name and with aerobics especially!
33:28-33:45 🤣oh my lanta the commentary!!! "Let's watch...his abs...perfect" "...OH!!!" "little creation" "A little tough on the reebok, isn't it?" "They'll survive..." 🤣
I wasn't there------this was held in GA -------Atlanta------but I think it helped stop the obvious bias toward SF Bay Area contestants. ----------------------------WolfSky9, 73 y/o
ONCE I COMPETED AGAINST ANTHONY DEMAIO AND HIS CURRENT PARTNER OR THEN ??I DIDNT KNOW WHAT I WAS GETTNG INTO....INTIMIDATED ME AND MICHELLE F WENT AND TOOK 13TH I BELIEVE ..OUT OF NOT SURE HOW MANY BUT.WAS SO FUN AND SCARY ,, THANKS MICHELE FOR THE GREAT EXPERIENCE///I WISH I COULD STILL DO THE ROUTINE....
It was really close; both Nick Farmer & Peter Dale were so good, I hated to see only one of them win. Both are good guys, & they BOTH deserved it. -----------------WolfSky9, 71 y/o
13:19 my quads are burning, shins snapping just thinking about that hold with another human weighing over 100 lbs. All that and doing a crunch. I get destroyed by zerchers and front squats, but they seem like nothing compared to the intensity of these routines. Not sure why people are making fun of this competition. I'm all for the 80s and 90s glory
I’m sitting on my couch feeling like a champion after watching this.
It's worth noting that 1990 was the last year they use the catchy theme song.
There were issues with Ty Parr's song; not sure what it was, but for whatever reason, his song was not used--or at least not as often. ----------WolfSky9
The issue just was they were out of the 80's and wanted to "modernize" the sound probably.
OMG, really? What did they use after that?
Shame
@@Wolfsky9 LOVED THAT THEME!!!!!!!
This is one of the greatest things I've ever seen.
lefty YES!!!
The outfits alone are pure gold

They need to bring this back in all its 80's goodness. America is in desperate need for a fitness craze again.
Crossfit filled that hole, unfortunately

What about yoga?
'80's goodness' straight from Colombia.
@@kamikazegroyper7963 agreed. The only thing remotely close to it is Zumba
"WE ARE LIVE.
KEEP DANCING."
😁
Stamp
Key & Peele!!!
What I *really* want to see is "Where are they now???"
JABCA LG same
Old,poor,many of them dead
Sadly, many of them left us too soon.
My mom used to be in these. 53 and still going strong. She teaches aerobic classes at the YMCA now.
@@rossnr100 cancer,car accidents, incidents in general where it could lead to death etc not saying it would of happened to everyone of them I've just given reasons on why some of them may be dead.
I have watched so many of these 0openings now I even recognise the same names between different years.
I miss shows like this. They were fun and entertaining.
The neons, the lights, the EVERYTHING. It’s gone 😭
The leg warmers!!!
I recently ordered some neon pink and green 💗 💚 lef warmers, they are not the same as mine in the 80's, but they are pretty close!!!
Yes. But there was also: unhealthy competition, overworking to the point of injuries, eating disorders galore...
It's 2020 enough said... These have now appeared in my recommendations and I appreciate it.
So I've been binge-watching these in chronological order...and wow is it weird to not hear Crystal Light anymore...also interesting to note the names of gyms that hadn't previously appeared.
I’ve been binging in chronological order too! 1990 had a bunch of new gyms and cities
Yes! Why do I Keep watching these? Lol
@@nicokl5593 I don't know, but I'm glad you commented and reminded me...time to binge on aerobics again! LOL!
Brenda's Body Shop in Oakland, MD, is still going, too, but now it's mostly dance instruction for kids.
@@michaelcornett444 That's awesome!
You can actually see the style changing from the 80s in this pretty cool
I need this theme song as my ringtone!
I lose sleep thinking about this song. do do do do do do, do do do do do do, do do do do do do, DO, DO- DO!
One day I’m going to be be the greatest aerobic champion, mark my words 2020.
How's it going so far
How about now?? 1 year later...also, one year ago was 2021 lol, not 2020:)
2023 bro, How's that goal of becoming Worlds Greatest Aerobics Champion? I see youtube videos like this and get inspitired for about 5 minutes in my chair also.
@@Baneslayer 2024. Ain't looking so good.
its 2025 already, did you win it, son?
I want a show today based on these amazing athletes we all could learn a lot
hey iam from the future. its a complete 180. its bad
I see Crystal LIght lost the sponsorship.
It's interesting that they call the champions from 1989 Reebok champions even though they were technically "Crystal Light Champions"
Makes me so damn angry.
Where the hell is Alan Thicke?
I have the same question
Chris Marlowe is no Alan Thicke. To be fair, Chris's presenting isn't quite as egregious as it was in 1989.
I would love a documentary or behind the scenes on this entire thing.
Every time I watch these videos, I use them as push to discipline myself with my fitness/weight loss journey!
I can't express enough how much I love this!

wolfsky. is that a hybrid between a husky and a wolf?
Where can I get this song for those hard days at work?
+yvonne361yv its actually on itunes. Search Ty Parr
@@GoCavs71 THANK YOU
My FAVE part of the whole thing is the intro/aerobic dance moves.
Gotta love those outfits! The glossy tights with the slouch socks are heaven! 🥰
The audio's clarity was too much.
Such intensity, perfect execution and top sense of the show. Hard to believe but none of them are pro it seems... Just insane
I watch several years and this 1989 edition is clearly the momentum of this competition
Keep dancing. Key and peele
I love this show
We are live keep dancing
Lol, that's exactly why I'm here!!!

No shame, I actually try and look up some of these people. I feel bonded to them.
Can someone do a documentary on this craze? America needs this!
This is SOOOO cool!!!
Nothing really tops 1988.
These were all the rage and every fitness place had multiple classes and competed.
I can't stop watching
From the National Aerobic Championship to UFC sponsor... Reebok surely developed. xD
Reebok has been around since the end of the 50s and was a major sports band in the late 70s in the US. The 80s definitely made Reebok a household name and with aerobics especially!
The Reebok step boards are still everywhere
what fun that night was!
I see you Mitzi!
33:28-33:45
🤣oh my lanta the commentary!!!
"Let's watch...his abs...perfect"
"...OH!!!"
"little creation"
"A little tough on the reebok, isn't it?"
"They'll survive..."
🤣
Its like a fever dream.
6:17 Incredible
the SOVIETS!? who would have thought!?
"The Soviets!
Who would'a dreamed?!"
🤯🙅♀️🤦♀️
omg im gonna end up watching this one too
Wow Reebok really went cheap on the set and production!!!
Key and Peele on comedy channel did a funny parody of this event.
I thought they made the event up, I had no idea it was a annual national championship
@5:19 "HELLO I'M CHRIS MARLO AND I'M DEFINITELY *NOT* A ZOMBIE WITH MAKEUP." edit: Lady, no one is here for your ***SPICY*** commentary of ***SPICE***
Wait...... this was real??? This was a thing back in the day??? 🤔🤔🤔 So that skit with Key and Peele was inspired off this. That's amazing........
Ms Gonsalves lol yeah. The 1987 championship was the year they spoofed. I don't know if the melt down part was true, though.
The one guys wife a child did die but I’m not sure if he melted down though.
yes this was a BIG thing to a lot of us; most fun time
YES!!!!!!AEROBICS IS REAL LOL
Yep! I watched it when I was a kid and wanted to do it when I got older.
"""'Sooooo much fun great times...👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💪🏼❤️😉😂👍🏼....!!!!""
1:52 It's actually extremely hype to see that she was one of the winners last year. I thought she showed the most personality!
I wasn't there------this was held in GA -------Atlanta------but I think it helped stop the obvious bias toward SF Bay Area contestants. ----------------------------WolfSky9, 73 y/o
"We Are the Champions" song is on iTunes for purchase.
itunes.apple.com/album/id940218821
The opening was so long I thought I was watching a contemporized version of "Swan Lake."
They sure do love clapping don’t they.
Mortal Kombat characters wear the spandex. Key and Peele did a skit on this contest.
Maybe the last time you'll ever hear "For more information, send a stamped, self addressed envelope to..."
8:55 Aww look, Michael's proudly polishing a little spot on the floor
I'm convinced these competitions were the inspiration behind the Ginyu Force
... And the Fusion dance and the Para brothers...
@@patrickreynolds5463 lol para brothers are actually from the para para dances, look those up
Wow! The budget went waaaaaay down.
I know, such a disappointment. I miss the big brightly colored multiple stages from 1988. I do like the opening dance from this the most.
This is what a triumphant civilization looks like. You may not like it, but this is what it looks like.
I can't unhear the Key & Peele skit! 😂
ONCE I COMPETED AGAINST ANTHONY DEMAIO AND HIS CURRENT PARTNER OR THEN ??I DIDNT KNOW WHAT I WAS GETTNG INTO....INTIMIDATED ME AND MICHELLE F WENT AND TOOK 13TH I BELIEVE ..OUT OF NOT SURE HOW MANY BUT.WAS SO FUN AND SCARY ,, THANKS MICHELE FOR THE GREAT EXPERIENCE///I WISH I COULD STILL DO THE ROUTINE....
Is Demaio still around?
from sweat shop in Kansas city. 4:15
Imagine watching this and seeing your dad in the video giving high kicks and spirit fingers.
26:10 it's A young Blanch Deveraux from golden girls Rue McClanahan
That's the most 90s thing I've seen and I lived through the 90s
Kefka it’s 1990 but it is totally 80s
Love those Reebok shoes
Let all of them repeat it once again in 2024
You laugh but they were clearly a happier people then we are now.
Bellissimo, io insegnavo negli anni 90 ma in Italia non mandavano gare di aerobica, che entusiasmo!!!!
I do aerobic gymnastics😊
when aliens make first contact, I want this to be the first thing they see.
Then they will know we have a positive attitude and are incredibly fit
It's such a train wreck I cant stop watching
train wreck? they literally pulled off every move to perfection
@@JanJanNik which one were you? You did a great job!
5:18 jaw is not big enough
I love it..
Awww when Reebok was more popular then Nike.
Hard to believe this didn’t become an Olympic event.
PETER DALE IS THE BEST MALE PERFORMER HERE AMAZING ROUTINE AMAZING BODY
It was really close; both Nick Farmer & Peter Dale were so good, I hated to see only one of them win. Both are good guys, & they BOTH deserved it. -----------------WolfSky9, 71 y/o
Peter Dale came 2nd in 1988, too...
'88 was the best
93 MY OPINE,,,IT WAS PAUL BATTISTA AND RENE GOING FOR IT I BELIEBER
These women look absolutely stunning, with their enhancing workout clothes.
Oh no, I have been watching year by year and the stage keeps getting smaller.
From a TV studio, to a conference room, to the corner of a warehouse.
Those Reeboks look comfy
Lmao, can’t believe this was actually a thing! Feel like it’s gonna roll into an SNL or Mad tv skit or something.
there were some incredible athletes represented!
@The Vent Key & Peele are the only reason I know this exists. 😂
Вирусная музычка 🤩 Чемпионс чемпионс))
this needs to become all the rage again. worthy of being an olympic sport too imo 🤣
行方がわからなかった田村がまじってる！おい田村、たまには同窓会にこい！

Reebok wasnt paying that crystal light money!
Sweat shop, damn
Bro the commentary so annoying I like listening to the music better than her talking about strength

Production value really took a dive
Hell, yeah Houston represents.
Looks like a high school auditorium
