The concept is intense shadow boxing combined with high intensity interval training with no bags, no pads and no ring. All workouts are delivered by top instructors including:

Louis Rennocks – An Ex-Boxer, Barrys Bootcamp Instructor, Personal Trainer and Sports Injury Therapist.  Louis’ breadth of experience means that he not only has the ability to construct world class workout plans and motivate absolutely anyone, he also knows exactly how the body works and how to adapt exercises through injury barriers.

Sonja Moses – A Global Ambassador and Master Trainer for Nike, a competitive Muay Thai fighter and a Barry’s Bootcamp trainer…and the list goes on. Sonja is not only a world class instructor but a Motivational Speaker and Personal Development Coach too, who is known for her hardcore ‘No Nonsense’ approach to training.

Until now, though, it’s been assumed that such loyalty can only really be built up via direct personal relationships – that is, in live instructor-led classes.

That assumption is now being challenged by premier fitness production studio MegaMace – the producer of high quality virtual classes for such well-known brands as Cyberobics, Beach Body and Daily Burn. In a brand new venture that will see MegaMace create its own virtual class content, the virtual instructor will be put centre stage. The objective: to bring the virtual class experience as close to a live class experience as possible, by creating a sense of direct and personal connection between instructor and exerciser.

Gone are the distracting backgrounds and the backing troupes of additional instructors. In its place, an attractive but simple workout space in which the on-screen instructor is the absolute focus – and the end user feels the instructor is absolutely focused on them.

The style of instruction is very personal – not only the way the films are shot, homing in on the instructor, but in the way the instructor interacts with the camera, talking directly to the end user in a continual chat of instruction and advice, interweaved with personal stories and anecdotes.

It really is as if it’s just you and the instructor, and it’s hoped exercisers will therefore begin to choose their virtual classes based on instructor loyalty – not just class content – in exactly the same way people follow their favourite live instructors, whatever classes they instruct.

Available exclusively through Wexer and due for imminent launch, MegaMace classes will span a wide range of disciplines. The first collection, known as The LOFT SERIES, will feature 15 classes – pilates, cycling, boxing, conditioning and HIIT – to introduce users to the MegaMace approach.

Further collections will follow, with 20 new classes set to launch every quarter, including some progressive courses.

Innovation to meet demand

Innovation in class length has always been a key feature of Move123 classes, which has been available on the Wexer platform for the last two years. Now, further evolution has resulted from the strong partnership between Wexer and its premium content provider.

Andersen explains: “Using Wexer’s comprehensive usage data, we’ve been able to identify global patterns: the trends and habits of Wexer users across 40+ countries. We’ve then shared this information with Move123 who, thanks to their ever-more sophisticated production set-up, have been able to evolve their class offering to ensure the end user has the best possible experience.”

“Move123 is about to launch 70 new classes, driven by a desire to offer even more of the most in-demand classes. It’s about ensuring continued variety and new inspiration across the most popular categories and class types.”

“Move123 really do have a truly impressive production ability, which means that together we can support emerging trends to the benefit of members and clubs.”

The 70 new classes will be available from January 2019, with all categories set to be updated – Cardio, Fight, Dance, Strength, Yoga, Pilates, Meditation and Stretch. The class library will also be refreshed across all class durations –10, 20 and 30 minutes – to ensure all options are always available.

Changing the way we workout

Andersen continues: “The length of virtual workouts, and the variation in duration, is becoming more and more important.In fact, the varying durations provided by Move123 have helped transform virtual fitness usage patterns.”

“With the shorter classes that are now available, we’re seeing members use virtual as part of a broader workout, rather than choosing either virtual classes or other gym-based activities. For example, we’re now seeing a lot of members switching their cardio on a treadmill for a 20-minute high-intensity virtual class, before moving on to doing some weights or core work. “

“Move123 has been a key influencer in driving – and catering for – this shift in motivation, and the resulting growing interest in virtual classes.”

Designed for clubs, by clubs

But the innovation in class length hasn’t only been shaped with the end user in mind. There are also benefits for club operators, as Andersen explains: “Move123 was set up by fitness professionals with more than 100 years’ combined fitness industry experience. The content is designed specifically for clubs, by clubs,and addresses some common issues.

“For example, class durations are designed to make scheduling easy: 30-minute classes run for 27 minutes, while 10-minute classes run for 8.5 minutes,meaning there’s time for set-up and packing away within the class slot. And in any case, all classes require either no or minimal equipment, and classes that use minimal equipment offer a body weight option too, which really does make the operational side of things very easy.

“All this means that operators can run a round-the-clock timetable, packed full of different class types and durations to ensure there’s something for everyone,without wasting any time – the empty slots they might otherwise have to leave between classes to allow for pack-up and set-up.”

Meaningful workouts for seniors

Finally, already available on the Wexer platform from this month is a new Silver Collection from Move123. Designed specifically for an older audience, this collection of 20 classes features workouts that include both standing and seated options, ensuring the needs and abilities of almost every member can be met – in turn allowing more clubs to offer meaningful workouts to their senior members.

All Move123 classes are available on the Wexer in-club virtual class platform, as well as the new Wexer Web Player for out-of-club use, which will be available from next month.

Content sharing is the basis of this new alliance, as Wexer CEO Paul Bowman explains, “This important new partnership allows us to offer the excellent content Wellbeats has produced to our approximately 4,000 gyms across more than 50 countries. This is exciting for us as it sits perfectly with our mission: to make world-class exercise accessible to everyone, getting more people active by harnessing the power of technology.”

The strategic alliance will give our clients access to a collection of classes from the Wellbeats’ platform, across all categories; cardio, conditioning, cycling and mind & body.

“Wellbeats has many years’ experience in creating compelling content, with particular expertise in appealing to those new to group exercise. This is therefore an incredibly valuable addition to our content portfolio: our virtual classes already act as a confidence-building stepping stone for many, with 32 percent of people currently using them to prepare for live classes. The availability of Wellbeats classes on our platform will no doubt push these figures even higher.”

“On-demand, virtual fitness is a new, but rapidly growing category that can help club owners engage members and contribute to member retention efforts,” said Jason Von Bank, president and CEO of Wellbeats. “Together, Wellbeats in the US and European-based Wexer play significant roles in that growth and bringing virtual fitness into the homes across the world.  We are excited to be able to bring two powerful and influential brands together in this way.”

The Wellbeats content will be available on the Wexer platform from 1^st May 2019.
