Virtual Fitness is a videoconferencing-based workout program that can be completed from either home or the gym via videoconferencing, offering live or pre-recorded streamed sessions with personal trainers as a personal trainer, tailored specifically to an individual or group’s individual or collective needs. Some online workouts may even be customized by injury/condition treatment as well as targeting specific body parts/muscle groups with personalized sessions tailored just for them – these online fitness classes may offer everything from cycling, barre, boot camp yoga & Pilates while others specialize in just one area/discipline!
Many online workouts can be accessed whenever there is internet access, making them ideal for people who work odd hours or have busy schedules, as well as those without gym memberships during pandemics. By 2027, virtual fitness industry is estimated to generate revenue of $15,290.7 million due to an increasing health awareness related to sedentary lifestyle that leads to various diseases.
ClassPass Inc, Mindbody, Fitbit, Zwift and Peloton have secured significant shares of the global virtual fitness market through advanced technological development, mergers & acquisitions and business expansion strategies to grow their customer bases.
Gyms have begun offering virtual fitness options as part of the pandemic response, as well as in-studio sessions for people to attend during this pandemic. Most often these classes involve live instructors in-class; some gyms may experiment with hybrid versions where an instructor-less video of similar workouts runs on screen so participants can watch later from home.
These classes are designed to simulate a typical workout experience, with instructors giving instructions and coaching you on how to perform specific exercises. They can be both fun and motivating; pushing you further than you might normally be able to go alone.
If you choose a virtual fitness class, make sure it offers an array of exercise types and styles, updated regularly so your workouts won’t become repetitive or monotonous. Furthermore, ensure that there are multiple length classes from 10 minute wakeups up to an hour sessions so they fit seamlessly into your daily schedule – you could even work out with friends on leaderboards for added motivation to stay active!
