Live Streaming Brings Gym Exercises Closer To Home

TORONTO - A workout DVD doesn't have to be the only tool in your fitness arsenal when you're in need of a little motivation to get off the couch and exercise at home.

Web users can now access workout routines on demand as fresh online fitness content is helping to bring the gym experience to home users.

"The Biggest Loser" trainer Bob Harper recently launched his own interactive online fitness club, a paid subscription service which includes videos of Harper leading workouts.

And in addition to the steadily growing digital libraries of fitness videos, there are more interactive alternatives for online users seeking a taste of the live workout experience.

While a typical fitness class may accommodate a small handful or several dozen exercise enthusiasts, Flirty Girl Fitness can potentially welcome thousands of participants in a given day — even though they won't be stepping foot in the gym.

The women's only fitness and lifestyles facility live streams select classes from its downtown Toronto location, allowing paid members to take part in sweat-busting routines from the comfort of home.

Flirty Girl Fitness co-founder Krista Knee said the decision to go the digital route came following emails from women wanting to open a franchise or keen to know why the company wasn't opening a location in their home city. Given the challenges of opening a new gym, and the significant investment of both time and money required, deciding to broadcast classes live online offered its share of incentives.
