I’m excited to bring you some great info all about FitnessGlo. Although this is a sponsored post, I have personally used the site and had a great experience so all opinions are my own.
Online Fitness Classes
FitnessGlo was created for women by women. And you’ll notice there are men trainers involved in the online fitness program doing the video classes too. I like the mix!
The site has quite a few options for classes which makes this the perfect place to be when you are short on time. If you lead a busy lifestyle with a packed schedule, this is great for you to be able to sneak in a workout.
Lately I haven’t been feeling the gym (can you relate?) and was wanting to get outside more. I did that plus I added in a few quick FitnessGlo classes that I could do right from our living room. It was just the right balance for me. And I’m getting ready to travel so not only is it a great option since I am short on time preparing to leave but I’ll be able to get in quick workout bursts while I’m away.
The first FitnessGlo workout I did was The Traveler’s Workout, a total body strength workout with Jeffrey Scott. It was only 30 minutes and I was able to follow the video along on my laptop in the living room.
The Traveler’s workout is perfect when you’re on the go or on vacation, even in a smaller hotel room. Something hubby and I could definitely do away from home. And you can easily use a towel instead of a mat. Jeffrey was a fun instructor and it made me want to do more of his workouts.
Even though some of the classes are shorter in duration they can easily be combined with other classes to make a longer workout. You might feel like dancing the day away so choose a few dance workouts and you’re all set. Yes you CAN get a good calorie burn dancing. I don’t know why everyone doesn’t do it.
I also did the 20 minute Get Jiggy cardio dance workout with Ilyse Baker and loved it. Again, in the living room while watching the fitness class on my laptop.
I just felt like dancing and this one looked good. I couldn’t get the moves immediately but I think if I did it again, I would be able to.
A few of us were talking over on Twitter about not being coordinated but it’s OK if you aren’t as long as you just keep moving. I found a few more dance workouts that I added to the playlist option so I can easily find it when I log back in.
There are videos where the instructor is alone (from what I could tell) and some where there are others doing the workout with the instructor. My choice would be instructor only.
You can even track your workouts to see how balanced they are through cardio, strength and stretch. It also keeps track of the hours you workout AND has a calendar to see all you have accomplished.
There is an option to schedule classes which I haven’t done. But one of my favorite parts of the membership is that it keeps track of your history. I can easily see what workout I did on what date and for how long. Great for someone like me who keeps a weekly fitness journal like you see in my daily exercise logs. So if I wanted to go back and do one of those classes again, I don’t have to search for it.
Like I mentioned I’m busy preparing to travel for a few weeks so I was looking for another quick workout to do today. I did the Find Your Inner Dancer, cardio dance workout with Petra Kolber. A quick and FUN 20 minute living room workout!
This workout was one I had added to my playlist for a later date. It was easy to find and all I had to do was click play and get started. This workout looked like it was just the instructor but then I saw someone’s arm and later they came into view but it was fine. I would do this workout again.
I am impressed with the service (I got a free 90 day membership) and how easy it is to use the website. I highly recommend you check it out plus it’s only $12 a month. As a new member though, you are eligible for a 15 day free trial. FitnessGlo has a wide variety that include workouts like Balance, Barre, Cardio (Athletic & Dance), Step & Strength. You can see a quick preview of them on the website but to participate in the entire class, you’ll need to sign up.

What FitnessGlo class would you like to take?
Oh WOW This looks awesome! I work out at home a lot, so I’d definitely make good use of FitnessGlo.
Just browsing, I think the Cardio Athletic videos look fun, and I’d definitely go for a Total Body Strength!
Do you know what? I’ve never done online fitness classes like this before – and I think it’d be pretty neat to try. I just need a bit more space than I do here at our tiny apartment lol. Maybe move some couches/coffee tables etc. 🙂
I would love to try the Strength CORE and the Dance..they both sound great!! I currently am doing an online training program and I LOVE it..I would love to try a different approach to compare them 🙂
i would love to try the barre workouts and the stretching….
Right now I’m trying to gain upper body strength, so Strength – Upper Body classes are where I would go.
It’s so much more appealing to me to workout in short spurts at home than to drive to the gym. Love this concept.
I have three I really want to utilize: stretching, cardio dance and strength upper body because I have trouble toning and shaping my upper body.
I am 49 yrs old with 4 kids and work from home. I like the fact I could take time out to exercise without having to go anywhere. The strength workout sounds interesting
Hi, I definitely would love to try the Barre classes and Cardio Dance classes. It seems like a great concept. I am a former dancer and so need to get moving again! Thanks for the giveaway!
Hello again! I posted about the giveaway on my blog, Zanaree.com! I’m feeling lucky! LOL!
Oh, Angie! FitnessGlo seems like something that is right up my alley. I had to lol at the “Find You Inner Dancer” workout. That is SO me! I get bored way to easily with in home workouts. FitnessGlo sounds like it’s just what I need to spice up my workouts again 🙂
I know what you mean, I have been exercising outside more since the weather has got better. I have been trialing a bootcamp style exercise class twice a week and really enjoying the fresh air.
Since I am an athlete and runner and dancer, I would probably take Athletic Cardio and Dance videos with Ilyse!
I would love this opportunity to take these at home classes because I can no longer afford dance classes nor a gym membership and my family is applying for welfare.
I like the Travelers Workout exercises when I don’t have the opportunity or time to go on my daily run or swim (summer).
Yes, occasionally leaving the confines of your typical gym is good but it is better doing most of your exercise routines in some place where you can breathe real fresh air. I think I read some study about the benefits of exercising (or was that running?) outside/open air. Going out is really a good decision.
