Pay As You Please

I’m not sure if you’ve already spotted this but Paul recently reviewed something called Fittever. I wanted to know what all the fuss was about so I took advantage of a FREE fitness class by using the code ‘TRYOUT.’

Fittever is basically an iOS app that brings fitness to your fingertips. They stream live classes to your device so you can exercise while in the comfort of your own home. Paul and I recently had a discussion about gyms and confidence. Sometimes it can be daunting to go into a gym when you have low self-esteem and even more so if you’re just starting out. Fittever bypasses this because they stream live fitness classes to wherever you want. You can view them on your phone, tablet or TV – in your bedroom, living room or garage.

One in five of us don’t exercise but 75% of us actually want to exercise more. Maybe Fittever is the solution to bridge the gap between how much exercise we want to do and how much exercise we actually do. Sometimes an opportunity presents itself where you feel really motivated to do some exercise or maybe you get a sneaky hour to yourself where you can fit some exercise in. It may not always be convenient to pack your gym bag, jump in the car and head to the gym. Sometimes we need something a little more snappy. I guess this is why people like to run too. Having access to a fitness class at your fingertips is a real winner here, especially if no special equipment or prep is involved. Of course as well as that, forking out for a monthly or yearly gym membership isn’t for everyone and almost 67% of gym memberships also go unused! Remember the classic Friends episode when Ross and Chandler try to quit the gym! I’ve noticed a few of my local gyms now offer ‘pay as you gym’ so if a full time membership isn’t for you, perhaps you could explore that option too. For me, the Fittever concept quashes most of the barriers we put up to not exercise, including time, money and confidence.

• Choose convenient times
• Pay as and please
• Sweat from the comfort of your own home
• Repeat your favourite workouts
• Train by yourself or with a friend
• Attend classes from all over the world

I’ll now explain my experience of Fittever and here’s a promotional video I found online…

The Fittever app is available to download on iOS devices. Simple register your own profile and browse the available classes. I decided to choose ‘Friyay Yoga Energy Reboot.’ I actually missed the live streaming but don’t worry, all classes are saved to your profile and you can watch it at anytime. You can also watch the same class multiple times so if you enjoy the class you can do it again at another time. I really enjoyed the class as I’ve been looking to increase the amount of yoga I do. Having recently suffered with lower back pain from too much time sat at a desk, the yoga is really helping me to loosen up, improve my flexibility and thankfully, ease my back pain. There’s some great relaxation elements too, so if you fancy a late night yoga class when the kids are in bed and you’re taking some time chill out, this could be for you.

Don’t forget to use the code ‘TRYOUT’ to get a free class!

Do let us all know what you thought of the class. Fittever are very keen to receive feedback so they can keep on improving.

Thanks,
