Honestly, with the ability to track and display in real time the heart rates of everybody in the class could be better than in person boot camps. Interesting concept.

Hmmm .... I am wondering about the logistics. As an instructor, I need the set-up to teach a class (camera, space, etc.), teach a class while monitoring 20 students on ... what? iPad? .... Teaching group exercise in person, I know that form is often more important than heart rate, and I am trying to visualize that.
And then there is the front-end of advertising, the question of payment.
It is an interesting idea ..... but I would give the processes some thought before you go deeper into the design.

I don't think I would. I enjoy the personal attention that can only be provided in person. I have run classes with multiple HR monitors though, and it was amazing.

Thanks Karin and Shawn for your feedbacks.
About the logistics, You can teach from home , you can use the TV as a display if you want (hdmi cable from your pc/mac/or tablets) and you use the camera of you laptop/tablet. You need a good internet bandwidth.
You can have the same setup in a fitness club. You can interact with the students individually if needed, maybe you do a pause and look at each one to see if they are performing the moves well etc... small group classes might be optimum.
But if you have real participants next to you that are part of the class, then you might not have time to interact individually with your online students , they will just watch and listen to you. But the online students can see and interact with each other (up to 3 live friends) so they dont feel "alone" working out in their living room following you.
We would like to build a sort of marketplace for online live workout classes and student search and register to a class (all integrated to social networks), invite their friends to join etc... regarding payments, we still need to think about this one and targeted ads too maybe :)
We built already a prototype to test out the technology. Still a lot to develop. Hopefully in january we will start to test run it on real workout sessions. Maybe you can try it out :)
Right now I am collecting feedback, pros/cons, ideas etc... dont hesitate to share more thought.
thanks again.

Hi,Jil!
Yes,I see a big potential in delivering sessions online - You really may catch clients everywhere and every time.

Yes and No
It could be a logistics nightmare, yet again, with everyone so "connected" these days it could work for many
However:
I am not convinced that online workouts can or will replace a human and the contact and connection we bring to our clients
