Hitchfit review LORIS

PROS / Hitch Fit personalizes each program based on your body type, diet and personal habits.
CONS / This online fitness service does not have a mobile app to help you when you’re on the go. VERDICT / With its many different plans and excellent personalized plans, Hitch Fit is a great online fitness service for reaching specific goals or preparing for events, though it’s not as good for tracking your progress.
While most online fitness services offer customizable workout routines, Hitch Fit is one of the few that create specialized workout programs to target specific fitness needs. Hitch Fit provides just about everything you need to achieve your fitness goals, including DVDs, printable training guides, personal exercise plans and weekly feedback. It’s not that suited to on-the-go workouts, though, as it lacks a mobile app and the videos are not available to stream directly from the website. However, the company does have a YouTube channel with numerous video clips, most under a minute long, that demonstrate proper techniques, which is important.Once you purchase a Hitch Fit workout plan based on your fitness goals, Hitch Fit sends you a questionnaire and a link to download a video and eBook. The book has general information on fitness and nutrition, while the video has demonstrations for the exercises you’ll use. This gets you started while the site’s trainers create a personalized plan for you. Even though there are not many trainers on staff, you still receive a personalized plan for your diet and exercise, which is an important factor in getting legitimate success from the best online personal trainer services. Hitch Fit enables you to find alternatives to your usual dietary habits, and it works with you to find the right diet and workouts for you.Each program contains four to 36 weeks of workouts, depending on how often you exercise and which program you choose. The programs are divided by difficulty level; for example, the Look Like a Bikini Model program is more intense than the Lose Weight Feel Great program. In addition, individual exercises have suggestions to adapt them to beginner, intermediate or advanced levels.Although Hitch Fit is an online fitness program, it does not host exercise videos on its website, but you can check out its YouTube channel to watch short exercise clips that demonstrate proper and safe techniques. Unlike Daily Burn, the company lacks a mobile app, which is a problem if you want to take your workouts on the go. While Hitch Fit provides online personal training, the website lacks resources for tracking your progress and stats, so you’ll need to find other tools for this. Hitch Fit does have a Facebook group, and it also has a blog and group support.The trainers provide personal support via weekly emails. Once a week, you need to contact them with statistics of interest, like your weight and waist and hip measurements. You also tell them how you are feeling, what’s working or not working for you, and any special considerations, like an upcoming vacation. They get back to you with changes to your plan or words of support.Hitch Fit’s strength lies in its specialized routines. If you’re interested in something more specific than general health, you can easily find a workout routine and diet plan to meet your goals. Some of the plans give you a way to follow a healthy gluten-free diet or to gain muscle mass, and the site still has programs for general weight loss and fitness. It also has special discounted programs for married couples or pairs of friends, and a couple’s option for the Bridal Bootcamp program so both can get in shape for the wedding.Once you purchase a plan, you own the workout video. This means you can continue to follow different exercises long after the initial program is over, which is great for maintaining the healthy habits you build.

ibodyfit review LORIS

Type of exercise

HIIT, Tabata, Cardio, Circuit training, Body weight training, Weight training, Toning, Fat Loss, Core strength, Personal trainer.

Benefits & Member Specials

This program was created by Franklin Antoain, one of Shape magazine’s top fitness trainers. In ibodyfit, you can get access to all of his customized workout plans and some of his free exercise videos.

While there are several free examples of workouts and video exercises, the customized workout plans start at $69/monthly and can go as high as $149/monthly.

Why It’s Right for You

Using this program, you can get in shape at home, get a customized plan, weekly check-ins from Franklin or another personal trainer, and customized diet. There’s no wait, and no trouble with trainers who are rude or pushy. The program was designed for easy use.

Why It’s Not for You

With the mid-to-high range price to become a member, you should only pursue this if you have the time and resources to put into it.

This method can be difficult if you are unable to set aside the needed time. You may also run into issues with price.

Results Expected

Results from working diligently can be expected in about four weeks; this will vary depending on your goals and your customized workout plan.

Nutrition

Nutrition is included in the member price; depending on which level of membership you sign on for, you may get as much as meal guidelines or full meal plans.

Five Pros:
    1. Accessibility:

      The membership benefits such as videos, nutrition guides, and newsletters, along with the website, can be accessed from any device, including mobile devices.

    2. Customized Plans:

      The workout plans will be specifically customized to your body, goals, ability, and levels. Any special needs for diet can also be incorporated in with the planning.

    3. Not Just a Plan:

      In addition to your workout and meal plan, different levels of memberships add in special features, like training for a 5k programs and office exercises.

    4. Support:

      Trainers are assigned to new members, and help reach out to them. In making any change, especially if exercising is a bigger change for you, support is helpful and statistically proves to be more successful. There is also an option to join groups, so you have workout buddies online.

    5. Credibility:

      The creator of this program, Franklin Antoain, is a very well respected and credentialed fitness instructor. When you become a member, you have the weight of his experience and education behind your program.

Five Cons:
      1. A Certain Amount of Discipline is Required:

        Membership requires discipline on the part of the member, just like every gym. While there are trainers who check in periodically there are no in-person sessions.

      2. Injuries or Physical Decline can Hamper Progress:

        If you have medical conditions, it will be hard to start on a level where you will be able to lose weight quickly. Building up muscle and stamina when you have not worked out in a long time, or lead a sedentary lifestyle, will take longer to reach your goal.

      3. You May Still Need a Gym:

        While the workout program is designed for working out at home, if you need exercise equipment or machines to do your workout, you may still need a gym.

      4. Payment:

        The monthly membership payment ranges from $69 to $149 a month.

      5. Individualistic Pursuit:

        If you are a person who likes to work out with friends, you may find this program to be a very ‘go it alone’ type of pursuit. This can be troublesome with continuing the program.

Fit4Females review LORIS

When I first started out at Fit4Females I didn’t even realize that they had such an interesting history. The company started out for moms who were new to parenting, especially those who were choosing to go without childcare. Of course this company was trying to offer these moms the perfect fitness solution. However, soon after they started, they realized that they needed to expand upon their clients, so as to include all women.

Their company has been on the receiving end of many awards, including “Best Boot Camp” and “Best Women’s Only Fitness Club”.

Programs

Fit4Females has programs that have been designed for women who are trying to get stronger, both in mind and body. However, these programs were also meant to be exciting, safe, not time consuming, and effective.

Fit4Females programs are specially designed to build strong women – both physically and mentally while being fun, safe, time efficient, and effective. With their programs students get access to experienced fitness professionals who will help with motivation levels, while at the same time they are monitoring form and technique. These professionals will be helping you to reach your fitness goals as well as your personal goals.

What I Love

The first thing that I love about this company is that they make working out a fun experience. I have found that I often feel like working out is just another chore on my list of things to do, so it’s nice to not have it seem like such a chore anymore.

The second thing that I love about the platform is that their methods of fitness are not at all time consuming. I hate having my time taken away by something that’s going to make me sweat a lot!

The last thing that I love about this platform is that the programs are super effective. They really do have you acheiving your fitness goals in a short amount of time.

 

What I Don’t Love

There is only one thing that I have found that I don’t love about this platform. I don’t love that their prices are a little bit high for those on a strict fitness budget. Other than that, I really haven’t found anything to not love about them.

 

Final Thoughts

Fit4Females is a great platform that started out small, and started out only being for stay at home moms. Now the platform is older and they have had time to realize that it’s not fair to do that, so they have made it so that their programs are now meant for all women. There are a lot of great things that I love about this platform, including being trading by real fitness professionals. All in all, I highly recommend getting fit with them!

Yogavibes review LORIS

Ever been to busy to make your way to the Yoga studio?

Or do you live in an area where you can’t find a Yoga studio on every corner?

I had a particularly busy month at home a while ago (refurnishing is a workout in itself), and I was working long hours painting walls so it got too late to go to yoga but still early enough that I didn’t want to leap right into bed.

That’s when I decided to try an online subscription for yoga classes. YouTube yoga videos were often poor quality or inconsistent with the practice I was yearning for, so I opted for a subscription service.

 I ended up trying YogaVibes.com, and I learned a lot, got more fit, and didn’t have to miss my yoga practice due to my busy schedule. Hopefully, this YogaVibes review is helpful as you’re choosing a service.

I will test other services in the coming days and weeks though because I stumbled over some interesting alternatives and I just have to check them out so stay tuned.​

Things To Consider Before Purchasing A YogaVibes.com Subscription​

A subscription for online yoga classes is ideal for busy people in all walks of life. Whether you don’t have a babysitter for your kids, your work schedule doesn’t work with your local studio’s classes, or you live rurally and don’t have a studio, this is an affordable way to still have a guided class.

I wouldn’t recommend this service if you have a local studio you can afford and you manage to go to regularly. While it’s nice to have classes at home, you’re missing out on hands-on adjustments from experienced yoga teachers and the camaraderie of other sweaty yogis.​

Let Me Tell You About YogaVibes​

YogaVibes is an online-only yoga studio. New classes are added regularly, and you can find just about every type of yoga there is. Whether you want a sweaty vinyasa flow, a challenging Ashtanga practice, or a soothing yin class, you’ll find them all.​

#1: The Classes

This site certainly doesn’t lack diverse classes. This isn’t Netflix where you’ll quickly grow bored with the selection. I’m not exaggerating when I say that you can take a new class every day and not ever repeat a class.

The site offers the traditional yoga offerings like vinyasa flow, Iyengar, and yin, but there is a handful of some non-traditional types of yoga as well. Included in your subscription are barre, Pilates, and brand-specific classes from infamous studios like Core Fusion and ParaYoga.​

I really like the breakdown of the “focus” search. On other subscription sites, if you search for a flow class, you’re going to find a huge variety of flow classes from deep and easy to fast-paced and intense. This is fine, but it’s nice to narrow down the type of flow you want.

YogaVibes offers “Crazy Sweaty Flow” and “Slow Flow” search options, perfect for those days where you know exactly what you want from your practice.

When you’re tight after a long run or you spent 30 miles hunched over your bike, search through “hip opening” classes or classes for athletes. Is your digestive system feeling a bit off? Browse the site’s “twisting” section to fire up your belly.​

#2: The Courses​

Have you ever wished there were training plans for yogis? Runners and weightlifters always have training programs to meet their goals, but these are hard to find as yoga students.

YogaVibes is unique in offering yoga courses, each with their own unique goal. There is a variety of classes in each course, all of which have been handpicked by YogaVibes teachers.

If you’re an athlete and/or a yoga teacher, try the Teaching Yoga to Athletes course. Every class was written by world-renowned triathlete and yoga teacher, Sage Rountree. While the course was created for yoga teachers, you’ll certainly benefit from learning how to put together sequences that complement your sport.

The Crazy Core series is an eight-part course designed to get your core strong enough to help you succeed with advanced postures. Whether you’re a veteran yogi or simply want more core strength, these classes help you use your core for strength in your practice.

Beginner students will appreciate the straightforward Vinyasa Yoga Basics. The five classes gives you a well-rounded overview of the basics of a vinyasa class. The teachers break down the Sun Salutations, standing postures, forward bends, backbends, and even inversions.
