"Unique exercise fetish episodes with European performers & downloadable movies." |

Special Exercises is one of those sites that kind of creates its own category of porn. Sure it fits into the fetish, bsdm, and spanking categories but its style is specialized with the focus on exercise type action. You'll find things like gym and outdoor settings along with workout gear and clothing. Also, this is a European based site so these are Euro models and the shoots definitely aren't in English.
The Goods:
- Unique Original Exercise Fetish Shoots. The points I made in my opening about the European performers and specialized exercise fetish action are the things that make this site's content entertaining. The keep things fresh with varied shoot styles and locations plus the episodes are pretty lengthy at about 1/2 an hour each. If you like the samples on the tour then you're likely to enjoy the member's area videos.
- Full-Movie Files, Download or Stream. The video formatting is straightforward with full-video WMV files available. They can be downloaded and they also stream in a stand alone media player. The movies are the content centerpiece but the shoots also have accompanying picture galleries or video capture galleries.
- Member Comments, Vid File Size & Update Info. Back in 2007 they added a comments feature for members to write feedback for the shoots and although they're sporadic it's a nice feature with a mix of helpful and comical posting. Each episode is also clearly date-stamped with the update info and has the movie file size in MB and length in minutes which are all helpful bits of data.
The Bads:
- Average Video Quality, Single Format Option. Full movie WMV format is the only option available so there is room for them to bulk up the choices. For instance the file sizes range from around 300-450 MB so clip segments would help. Also, the quality of the WMV files is only average for a paysite. The newer additions are slightly higher quality and the older shoots a bit grainier.
- Basic Organization, Lots of Scrolling. The amount of content here is quite sizable for a specialty amateur fetish collection at over a hundred episodes. The organization is lacking in that they simply list things chronologically without any sub-categorization, model details, or content breakdown. They also don't provide any background info on the models or episode.
- Monthly Price is a Little Bit High. The $34.95/mo monthly rate is slightly higher than is typical for a monthly paysite. Obviously the specialty fetish content is original and they're counting on that as a big selling point to compensate for the price.
Conclusion:
As a specialty fetish site Special Exercises comes through on important aspects like having unique exclusive content, downloadable movies, and a sizable collection of material. The biggest area they could improve would be the site's layout and design which could be enhanced in order to reduce scrolling and make things more user-friendly.
