Callan Pinckney and/or her former company Callan Productions has not produced or sold a Callanetics brand video, DVD or exercise publication in nearly 20 years. After the collapse of Callanetics Franchise Corporation in 1994 Callan Pinckney retired and turned the business over to Callanetics Management Company (CMC) which is owned and operated by her good friend Pat Klein. Since 1994, CMC has been the exclusive producer of Callanetics brand exercise products worldwide. CMC has fought to protect the brand from bootleggers and interlopers. Now, after successfully building the business over the last 20 years, Callan's heirs have sought to re-enter the business and disenfranchise CMC from the fruits of it's exclusive efforts and labor. It is CMC, not Callan Productions or Callan Pinckney's heirs, who owns the exclusive rights to the Callanetics brand and branded products. We are currently involved in a contentious lawsuit with Callan's heirs and intend to vigorously defend our rights in a Court of law, not the media. The current wave of claims by Callan's heirs is intended to disrupt CMC's business in the the marketplace, sow seeds confusion and interfere with CMC's legitimate rights. These illegal actions by Callan's heirs and their lawyers will be redressed by CMC in the U.S. Courts. Until then, the only legitimate source of ORIGINAL hi-quality works is CMC. |

Say what you like about Madonna, she doesn't look like she is 49. Not only that, she has permanently altered the way women over 40 are perceived and is tireless in her crusade. It's hard work and we know it: the ashtanga, the Callanetics, the Power Plate, the raw food diet, the trainer she shares with Gwyneth, the endless trips to the dermatologist (I think you know what I'm saying). Madonna puts in the hours, and that is why she looks so young. (
