The problem with classes at the gym is that it often means being at the gym at set times to take a class. While that’s not always possible, sometimes distance plays a factor too. EMG Live saw this twin dilemma and created a web-based platform that links the most sought after fitness instructors directly to fitness enthusiasts. So you don’t need to be in the same town as the instructor, you just need a web connection.
“As a fitness and exercise class groupie working in the technology field,” says Joyce Wells, President and CEO of EMG Live. “I decided to combine my field of expertise with my many years of taking fitness classes and the friendships I have forged with instructors worldwide to create a platform that would benefit both students and instructors.”

The EMG Live website uses live streaming video, making it possible for EMG to bring the most sought after instructors virtually out of their studios and into to any town, city or borough in the country, or even the world. Users can take part in an array of different fitness class genres, offered both live and on-demand. It also provides a social networking twist by offing hosted forums for users to share their experience, ask questions and make suggestions, just like they would at the gym.
