Instructors: You Can Run Remote Fitness Classes & Build Your Business. Here’s How

12/15/2021

0 Comments

 
Virtual fitness classes aren’t new, but what was once a luxury once-in-a-while offering became a “must have” overnight. There are clear benefits to operating this way — the convenience of being able to work out any time, any place — but classes are often still disorganized and lack the personal interactions of in-person classes.

This has nothing to do with the instructors…it’s the operating systems that are to blame. There aren’t software offerings or programs targeted to the specific needs and interests of businesses in the fitness industry.
​

It’s an effort to build and grow your fitness business in the virtual fitness world. But with some surveys suggesting that 9 out of 10 people will continue to work out at home post-pandemic*, it’s not a matter of if you adapt…but how quickly you can.

​The Struggles of Virtual Fitness Instructors

​​There’s no real-time feedback during class

The way virtual classes are currently set up, you can’t teach and observe simultaneously. You’re toggling back and forth between teaching and squinting at the tiny tiles on your screen, trying to see if that one client is really in a backbend or they’re about to pull a muscle.
​

Proper form and injury prevention fall to the wayside while you try to simply keep up with the class.

Hard or Impossible to interact with clients while on video

Client interactions are crucial to building a long-term relationship. People work out with others because they want that sense of community. They also want to be led by an expert (you).

We’d bet that you crave this as an instructor, too. Coaching and connecting with clients is one of the best parts of working in the fitness industry. On one-way videos, everyone is missing out on that crucial interaction that makes group fitness and one-on-one training great.

Ok, so what do we do about these virtual fitness challenges? ​​

Right. We don’t want to beat a dead horse here. Virtual fitness classes can be tough. But they don’t have to be. We listened to the struggles of fitness instructors and designed MotivateU around them.
​

Here’s how we’re combating these:
Picture

Connect You to Your Clients with Customized Data

Building a real, one-on-one connection means building a real relationship. By getting specific data about your clients, you can engage with them on that human-to-human level we’re all so desperately missing these days.
Picture

Engage Clients with Real-Time Feedback

How do you get real-time feedback to make sure your clients are doing what they’re supposed to? To make sure they’re not only safe in your classes but also enjoying them?
​

With our software, you can see the entire class while you teach. It creates a digital model of the perks instructors and clients get in person: accountability and motivation.

Improve Execution with Motion Tracking Software

Using motion tracking software, you can quickly and easily see if a client’s form is correct or it needs improvement. A “poor form” is highlighted with a red outline, alerting you to their mistakes so you can check in, correct them, and avoid potential injuries. As they adjust into proper form, the outline turns green.
MotivateU was built to offer you a better solution for leading virtual fitness classes. 

We’re using AI to enhance fitness professionals…not replace them.

Q&A with our Developer & Cloud Architect, Nathan Collins

Q: What has been your favorite part about working on developing the app?
A: I’ve really enjoyed the opportunity to take our app from just an idea to being a fully-fledged product in customer’s hands. I’ve also enjoyed getting to see a little bit into the business side of building a product like this and understanding how to make customers want our app.
Q: What feature was the most fun to build out?
A: I would have to say that I really enjoyed getting real-time video calling working. It was definitely a challenge, but it felt really great the first time we successfully had a video call.
Q: What aspects of MotivateU’s mission to make wellness innovative, accessible, motivational, and community-driven resonate with you?
A: Making wellness motivational definitely resonates with me. Over the past few years I’ve been stuck in a bit of a rut with my health. I eat too much and then I gain some weight, then after a while I go on a diet and lose the weight, and the cycle continues. One of my goals building the app is to move myself out of that cycle and start building out a more active lifestyle.
