Our classes are strategically planned for time and target audience just like they are in real life, for example, sessions in the morning as an early morning energiser. Further sessions of between 45 and up to 60 minutes are scheduled at lunchtimes and during the late afternoons and early evenings, when consumers might typically want to work out. Sessions are broadcast across a range of ability standards, so that you can choose the appropriate complexity and fitness demand that is relevant for you. Alternatively, you can learn a new fitness skill from scratch, with “starter” teaching sessions for those who have never participated in that exercise type before.
Worried about where to start? Let VirtualGym TV take the worry away and start using our Virtual Personal Trainer! Using this bespoke and highly sophisticated software, you can submit a range of personal data and personal preferences, which will be analysed by our Virtual Personal Trainer (VPT) software and appropriate exercise recommendations are prescribed specifically for you. Your VPT will specifically recommend which sessions you should participate in, the frequency with which you should participate and the intensity level that’s right for you! It really is a personal trainer that’s on demand for you whenever you want to use it.
 | The sessions that the VPT prescribes can be downloaded automatically for you to use with our download manager software. The VirtualGym TV website includes a download manager, where dropped connections are restarted from the point of loss (no re-starting from scratch), and prescribed or pre-selected classes are automatically downloaded for you to use when you next return to your computer.
All classes can be viewed using Windows Media Player, and can be viewed in full screen. All of our sessions can be burnt t o DVD and played back on a regular DVD player, or you can stream the video file directly to your standard television from your computer if you have an IPTV device such as Apple TV or an equivalent.

VirtualGym TV will regularly broadcast celebrity sessions. Nicki Waterman, the UK’s foremost personal fitness consultant to the stars is VirtualGym TV’s Celebrity Fitness Advisor & Consultant and will regularly broadcast her classes with VirtualGym TV. You will be able to get quick access to these from our home page, once you are registered member. Over time we will look to broadcast sessions from other fitness experts and leading sportsmen and women.
Customer feedback and involvement is an essential element of VirtualGym TV. We want to know what you think of all of our sessions. Each session has a feedback system built into the page where you downloaded it from, and all we ask, is that you tell us what you thought. It only takes a minute to tell us, and we can then ensure that we are always providing you with the content that you want to see. We always welcome hearing from you with your thoughts and suggestions.
VirtualGym TV has many different audiences from around the world. We feel we are the perfect solution for the thousands of people throughout the world who do not have the time or money to attend real gym sessions, for example, maybe you’re a busy parent who struggles to find childcare or maybe you’re a busy executive consumed with work! We also feel we offer an alternative to the feel of a gym environment which is not always a comfortable environment for everyone. However, at VirtualGym TV we don’t stop there.
We will over time provide specialist advice and classes for other groups such as those who are physically handicapped, the elderly, children, and pregnant ladies along with individuals recovering from specific injuries. If we have missed specific groups then please feel free to contact us as we want the service to be as broad as it possibly can so that everyone who wants to can benefit from this innovative approach to health and fitness thanks to the advent of the internet.

With VirtualGym TV a key philosophy is that there are no tie-ins. Sure, if you want to subscribe for longer periods of time you can and we will of course offer you a discount for doing so. However, you can also simply “pay as you go” buying individual sessions along the way. Sessions are extremely competitively priced eg less than £1 in the UK per 45 minute session. Compared to a traditional gym we will be able to give you access to more classes for less money. You are also able to do the classes when it suits you and not us!
We hope you enjoy our new and exciting service and indeed we hope you will contact us and tell us if we have managed to make a change to your life.
Enjoy!
