Over the past few years, we’ve all witnessed the rise of online fitness. And it’s easy to see why — the opportunity to get your exercise in from the comfort of your living room, without having to deal with traffic, long lines in front of your favorite strength training machine, or having to sign up for aerobics classes. As many of us settled into working from home, many more of us got used to the fact that we’d now be working-out from home, too. 

But then something funny happened. 

Once we all discovered the freedom and comfort afforded us by this new living-working-shopping-socializing-taking meetings-all from home sort of lifestyle…we got bored. We missed the camaraderie, the community, and the enthusiasm of working out amongst other people. Not to mention the access to all that fancy equipment we love so much. Heck, some of us even miss the smell of a good fitness studio — that odoriferous combination of sweat, iron, and rubber that makes us feel like blastin’ the Rocky theme and getting to work. 

The next logical question is, what if we could somehow combine the convenience of virtual fitness with the visceral excitement of an in-person gym? At Studio SWEAT onDemand we believe the answer is a resounding YES!

Let’s talk about why. 

Guidance

Most of today’s gym goers have some knowledge of what they’re doing. They’ve seen an instructional video or two, got an earful from the local swole scientist/gym bro, and maybe spent a bit of time working with a personal trainer. But the tough truth is that having a few basic pointers on how to do a certain exercise is not even close to the benefit of having a personal trainer right there with you. But when you bring your virtual fitness program into the gym with you, you’ve got an expert trainer right in your ear, explaining the proper form of everything you do, ensuring you get it right every time whilst minimizing the risk of injury in the process.

Motivation

Working out alone can be a lovely and private experience. It can also get boring and stale, fast. That’s why when you bring your virtual workouts with you into your gym or fitness studio, you get your own personal cheerleading squad every time. At Studio SWEAT onDemand, we’re known for having the most passionate, world-class trainers around, who are always giving it their all to give you the motivation, drive, and extra oomph to work out harder, and keep coming back for more. 

Variety

When you work out at a gym and take their fitness classes, you’re basically beholden to whatever is being taught at the time of day that you’re available, and that usually means having limited choices. But when you take your group fitness classes INTO the gym with you via your virtual workout platform, you get to experience a wide variety of workout options to meet your needs and suit your mood that day. As an online fitness provider with one of the biggest libraries in the industry, we offer streaming classes in Indoor Cycling, HIIT, Yoga, Kickboxing, Pilates, Barre, Bootcamp, Strength Training, and a whole lot more. Just visit your gym, turn on our app, and you’ve got an immersive fitness experience right in your pocket.

Scheduling

One of the major problems with taking fitness classes from an in-person gym is that you’ve got to work your own schedule to fit with that of the gym. That means you’ve got to take an hour out of your day, at a certain time of day, and spend it taking their fitness class. But with streaming fitness classes with Studio SWEAT onDemand, you’ve got an exhaustive list of workouts to choose from, from as short in duration as 10 and 15 minutes, going up to an hour, an hour and a half, and even some marathon sessions that are longer! That means that no matter how much time you have to work out, you’ve always got a class that’ll fit your needs, and your busy schedule.

Benefits for Gym Owners

Apart from the benefits for gym goers, the owners of gyms also see unmatched benefits with the addition of virtual workouts. By offering online fitness classes to their members — accessible through smart TVs in the group workout area, or even on members’ personal devices — these businesses can offer a unique feature to those who don’t like working out in a large group, or those who can’t make a particular class. And when health clubs advertise that they’ve expanded their offerings, they set themselves apart from every other gym on the block.

If all this is making you think about augmenting your gym experience with some virtual fitness, it’s time to think about SWEAT Pro, our virtual fitness program available for commercial spaces. We created SWEAT Pro to give places such as health clubs, smaller fitness studios, housing communities, schools & universities, hotels, and military bases an amazing fitness resource for their customers, tenants, and guests.
