Beachbody BODi Live Yoga Experience
Looking at Fit-Lab’s website, I saw that they offer appointments to try out a Live BODi workout. After talking it over we decided that since a couple of us are into Yoga, we would sign up for a class. I have done At-home workouts and In-person classes before, and wasn’t sure what to expect with an at-home-in-person class.
We arrived earlier than our appointment to take our time, relax and get everything setup. What we found that the BODi cast was available 15 minutes before the class start time. We tuned n and As we started getting setup the instructor was giving out tips on how to properly align your camera, they were calling out names for individual adjustments. Luckily the instructor got to us quickly and we were able to squeeze in a Fit3D scan before Yoga actually began.

A few years back, there were group workouts everywhere. I really enjoy working out with others as it pushes me to be the best version of myself. Since COVID happened, there has not been as many opportunities for Fitness with real people. Most of the At-home workouts are pre-recorded with 1 or 2 people in attendance, making it difficult to build enough motivation day after day to enjoy my workout. BODi Live has changed the way to workout from your own home!
With BODi, the instructor is able to interact with all participants providing feedback on moves or encouragement to keep poses strong. Live also has the added benefit to highlight individuals who are in the zone by putting them up behind the trainer. The BOD cast tracks how many people are live at any given moment. Being of a competitive nature, seeing yourself on the screen and having the trainer call you out just pushes me that much harder knowing that I beat out all of the other people also working out Live! When doing harder portions of the workout, seeing all the people in the background struggle along with me brought a smile to my face knowing i’m not the only struggling. It was a great experience I didn’t even realize was missing from Pre-COVID days.
Mirrors around the room allow you to easily check your form.
One of the best things about Fit-Lab is being able to spread out and enjoy the space. There is plenty of room to have a small in-person Yoga session with everyone together Live! That small detail changed from competing against one another in my own home to cooperating in an attempt to get all of us called out by the trainer. Another great feature is the speaker system that Fit-Lab has. Having multiple speakers during a live workout enables you to feel like you are in the Studio with the trainer. Everyone can hear the cues and poses that the instructor was calling out. Last but not least, Fit-Lab has their own projector. This enables everyone to See whats going on and adjust their positions to follow-on screen.
After attending the BODi Live class, I am hopeful for the future of At-home workouts. BODi Live combines the best aspects of working out at home and being in front of an instructor that can correct and give encouragement. Overall, I enjoyed this experience attending a Live BODi workout and have ideas and inspiration for improving my own Home Gym.
