Make Working Out Convenient With Virtual Fitness


You know exercise is important, but your busy schedule might not leave you with a whole lot of time for fitness.

Or... Maybe going to the gym is an extra hassle you just don't want in your life. 

I mean, really though. That commute can be straight BRUTAL sometimes, especially after a long day's work.

And who really has time for all that?

Come to think of it, fitness can feel like a real burden sometimes.

And all you want is a little convenience. 

If you could just press a few buttons and get a workout in, that would be ideal.

That way, you can work out on your terms.

Sound like you? 

Virtual fitness might just be the best fit for you.

At GymWisely, many of our partners offer virtual workout services, so you can bring fitness with you and get a workout wherever, whenever. 

Let's take a look at some of them:


BoxUnion

If you've always wanted to channel your inner-fighter and learn some punch combination that would make Rocky Balboa proud, BoxUnion might be the perfect workout for you.

They have three physical studio locations in the Los Angeles area if you want to take an in-person workout class.

But if you want to bring the workout to you, BoxUnion offers hundreds of live and on-demand boxing-centric workouts that you can stream from anywhere, so the power to get a workout in is literally at your fingertips.

High-energy coaches lead you through each workout done to the rhythm of music, where they help you punch some stress away, build up confidence, and find your flow state.

Your flow state is when you're completely locked in because that's when you get the most out of your workout. You're moving to the music, feeling the beat, and fully focused on the workout in front of you. Nothing else matters!

You might have gone through workouts before where you had a coach or trainer that didn't add much value besides telling you what to do.

But at BoxUnion, your coach is more than someone who just takes you through the workout.

They're in your corner every step of the way, like a boxing trainer during a championship fight, motivating and encouraging you to dig deep and keep pushing all the way to the finish line.

And since workouts are only 10-45 minutes long, you can fit a workout into your schedule, even on the days you're busiest.

Haven't boxed before? New to the whole workout thing?

Not to worry! Whether you're experienced or a beginner, BoxUnion has something for people of all fitness levels.

And the workouts aren't just 100% boxing either. Other workout categories include:

Now, there are some classes that might work better with a little equipment (such as a heavy bag or weights), but most of their workout classes don't require any equipment and they make modifications for ones that do.

In January 2021, BoxUnion announced that it had acquired TITLE Boxing Club, so we're excited to see what's on the horizon!


Les Mills On Demand

The Les Mills brand has made its name on popular workouts like BODYPUMP, BODYCOMBAT, and GRIT over the years.

And with Les Mills On Demand, you'll get access to the well-known Les Mills workout classes offered in over 20,000 gyms worldwide, bringing them straight to the comfort of your own home...Or wherever you choose to get a workout in.

By access, we're talking about a robust library of 1,000+ workouts, led by instructors who are passionate about helping you crush each and every workout!

So, if you're always on the go, short on time, or just want the convenience of working out from home, Les Mills On Demand could be a good fit.

From cardio, strength, and HIIT--to dance, yoga, and even guided meditation--there are a ton of ways for you to get a workout in and get fit with Les Mills On Demand.

And if you're looking to add a little structure to your workout routine, they offer 3-12 week-long workout programs for all fitness levels. The workout plans have three options--low, medium, and high intensity--for you to choose from. 

Depending on the workout class or plan you choose, some equipment might be required. But most workouts typically offer an equipment-free option or modifications if you don't have any equipment.

On top of all the fitness goodies Les Mills On Demand provides, you'll gain access to their global Facebook community full of people to encourage and support you along the way.


305 Fitness 

Is dancing more your thing?

Workouts are done to the tune of catchy DJ mixes and led by first-class instructors, so your workout at 305 might bring you back to the dancefloor of your favorite nightclub instead of your own living room!

But the real fun can be found in the virtual workout services they offer.

Their on-demand virtual library offers workouts like cardio, HIIT, PWR (workouts designed to help you target those glutes!), and stretching, so you can get fit at home.

And with new cardio classes uploaded daily, you'll have a constant flow of access to fresh, new content.

What's really cool about 305 is their passion for creating a workout atmosphere to help you boost your self-confidence and empower you to be the best version of yourself that you can be.
