For those who are interested in getting in shape, but are intimidated by their local gym, BurnAlong is the perfect solution. Not only does the online platform provide a plethora of workout videos that consumers can do in the comfort of their own home, but it also mirrors the social aspect of group fitness classes.
BurnAlong is an online platform that allows users to access a wide variety of exercise videos. The videos range from Bootcamp and Body Weight classes to Yoga and Barre workouts. There is little to no equipment required for most classes and users can even choose the video that fits their experience level.
However, what really sets the BurnAlong videos apart from other online fitness video is the social aspect. Users can log on at the same time as others and carry out the same exercise class in real time. Users can see up to five people and the instructor on their screen, thereby recreating the feeling of attending a live exercise class -- something that can be very beneficial for those who are motivated by their peers.
