FitnessGlo Review and Giveaway
Do you struggle with finding time to workout? It's no secret that I do! I am a single mom on the run and when I was offered the opportunity to try out the online fitness classes website FitnessGlo, I had to say yes, heck yes!!!
The first thing I noticed about FitnessGlo was that it was created for women, by women, and it was designed for women for busy women to sneak in a workout during a busy schedule. That is why classes are shorter in duration and can be combined with other classes to create longer workouts. I feel so much better after a good workout. When I don't get my workouts in, I get grumpy. and let's be honest, without it, I start snacking. I also appreciate the balance tracker that makes sure that I have a good balance of strength, cardio and stretch each week. FitnessGlo's entire goal is for women to find balance in their lives, so this particular feature is an important one to keep an eye on throughout the week. FitnessGlo offers a wide variety of workouts.
I got to use my ball, my step, my tube, and my hand weights. But, if you don't have any of those things, you will still find plenty of things to do.
This year I haven't been able to join a gym due to finances and time. I have been working out on my own, but this last month has been great to have these workouts whenever I need them. I feel like FitnessGlo was made for people like me, moms like me.
There were a variety of instructors to choose from. I found myself jumping around a lot, trying classes that I wouldn't usually try. I did Barre, cardio, step, intervals, stretch, balance and strength training. My favorite was the interval classes with Jeffrey Scott. I enjoyed Jeffrey's energy and enthusiasm, but there wasn't one that I didn't like. They were all great. I plan to do my first Pilates Core class this evening with Michelle Dozois.
This is from the website for FitnessGlo:
And I couldn't agree with the last line more!
I really did like the way I felt, as I do after every workout! The workouts go from 5 min stretching to 45 min. workouts. There is no excuse. We all have time for that! And if you want a longer workout, you just combine a few classes.
Another really cool thing about FitnessGlo is that they have an 8 week program that will guide you each week. No thinking, just show up and move!
FitnessGlo is a membership-based website. You pay $12 per month and this gives you the opportunity to have your own personal gym in your living room, office, or where ever you need it. The website is offering a free 15-day trial. Everyone gets that, but one lucky winner will get a FREE 90-day membership to FitnessGlo from me!

Neat idea! I love the group fitness classes at my gym :)
ReplyDeleteWould love to try this!!! No money for gym membership here--been working out at home with tapes I have.
ReplyDeleteMoney is the biggest reason I don't go to the gym. The 30 min drive one way would be another reason. Who has time to use two hours to workout when there are so many chore and errons to do.
ReplyDeleteThe reason I don't go to the gym as often as I would like...I'm overwhelmed when I walk in. I don't know where to start and I don't know what to do. This would be awesome for me!
ReplyDeleteI work too much and feel guilty coming home from work and leaving my family right when i get home to head to the gym!
ReplyDeleteTime keeps me away from the gym. I wake up at 5am & go to my basement to workout while everyone is asleep. If I went to the gym, It'd be more complicated!
ReplyDeleteI am not a big fan of gyms - prefer to work out in private although I am doing a one-month trial at a local fitness centre starting tomorrow. I would love to win this 90 day FitnessGlo membership - home is best for me.
ReplyDeletecost keeps me from making it to the gym
ReplyDeleteMy schedule is so hectic, that the only times I have sometimes is between classes and I hate getting sweaty in between!
ReplyDeleteI'm broke so I don't have a membership and just run outside instead. I miss the classes though.
ReplyDeleteI love going to the gym but I don't have the time to get there. It's hard. Whether your a stay at home mom, a full time employee and a parent or a student we all struggle to take care of ourselves. That's why there's so many convinient ways to get take out. I would love this because it would save me the time and frustration I have when I have to drive to the gym.
ReplyDeleteweather and getting out of the covers haha
ReplyDeleteOh how fun! Makes things easier to work out at home!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of FitnessGlo. I'm out of the habit of workouts at home, though, so I'm not sure if I could stick with it, but I'd love to try.
ReplyDeleteI would love to mix up the workouts I do. I get bored, daily, so Jillian's 30 Day Shred is AWESOME but by day 5 I'm bored. I'd love to have this to mix it up.
ReplyDeleteI'd say time is a huge factor with money being a biggie as well. Since I'm a SAHM and have 4 kids (2 of which have Autism) of various ages, we're always running. I'd love to be able to take various classes some of which are unavailable in my area and I've been have wanting to do.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea and what FitnessGlo is doing. Anything to change things up is great!
ReplyDeleteHi Mindy! Love your energy and determination. My sis and I know many of the instructors from Fitness Glo and they are top notch. You will enjoy Michelle Dozois even if I have no clue how to pronounce her last name! K
ReplyDeleteI love the variety of classes possible and finding childcare to get the gym is hard enough. Looks like fun!
ReplyDeleteI would love to try the barre and of course some cardio.
ReplyDeleteThe thing that keeps me from going to the gym is, I dont have cute workout clothes, I feel selfconscious, and I want to go home after work.
ReplyDeleteIf I forget to pack my gym bag the night before.
ReplyDeleteThe gym near me is always so busy, I love the fact with this you can do it in your own time and no pressure to make it out of the house on time
ReplyDeleteThis time of year the weather is a big factor in not wanting to go to the gym. I don't want to leave my cozy home when it is so blustery and snowy outside!
ReplyDeleteI can't decide whether to try this or iTrain. Have you tried iTrain?
