Jennifer here, to share with you about a wonderful new online product I discovered, Gymagogo, that lets you work out online with others in the comfort of your own home. We were compensated to write this post, however all opinions remain my own.
I do not workout that often. My reasoning behind the whole thing is I absolutely hate going to the gym. I know, it’s silly of me, because the gym is where I am supposed to “give it my all”, and lose these last 20 pounds I have to lose, BUT, I just cannot do it. I don’t like to be stared at while working out, and the thought of someone doing that keeps me from going. Luckily, I found out about Gymagogo.
Technology these days are simply amazing, so when we were contacted by Gymagogo and asked to attend one of their online exercise classes, I thought to myself, “Hmm. . . this might be something useful to me.” So I agreed to give it a try and just see what and how this online exercise class worked.
Signing Up
Signing up was SO simple. I just went to the Gymagogo website and chose a class I wanted to attend from the dropdown menu. I have fallen in love with Yoga, so I chose the beginner’s yoga class and then hit the blue “Let’s Workout” button.
Once I did that, I just put my name and email address in to confirm the class, and then also set up to have them send me a reminder by cell phone of when the class started. This little bit of sign up was SO helpful, because I had forgotten about the other two classes that I was supposed to be attending (the life of a very busy mom blogger, right?)
On the day of the class, I got an email and a text reminding me what time class started and then again 20 minutes before class started, so this is a great tool!
Taking the Class
I will be honest and tell you that I LOVED this class. I was expecting to just be taught like a dvd would teach you, but NO! You are actually on camera with your instructor. As she is teaching you, she can see everyone in the class who is attending. This helps her to see if you are doing the moves right or not.
This was my favorite part! No one in the room can see you but the instructor, which means no unsightly starting from strangers. I was able to work out in the comfort of my own home with the help of an instructor. It’s like a personal trainer!
How Much Does it Cost?
Right now, Gymagogo online exercise classes are free. They will start charging in July, but for RIGHT now — it is free and doesn’t cost a thing! So what are you waiting for? It’s time to get your buns off the couch and get a workout in — from the comfort of your own home.

Just being plain lazay
Time! It’s tough to squeeze in work, kids, household duties, and still find time to have fun AND get a workout in!

Time constraints are my biggest issue.
There is so much else I’d rather be doing!
Finding the time when my daughter is not awake. She’s going through a stage where she refuses to nap
Lack of time
Trying to find time when the kids are not awake and I still have the energy to do it.
Having the energy after a busy day.
dedicating the time! but we always park in the middle of parking lots so we get a bit of walking to and from the car lol (it’s better than nothing!)
I like exercising, but other responsibilities (like my 2 jobs) keep me from doing it as often as I would like to.
my son doesn’t give me much mom time
my back, my hip, my knee, my ankle, hate getting old, miss my physicality
TIME. I work very long hours, then go home and cook dinner. I just can’t seem to find the time!
what stops me is motivation sometimes I just don’t have the giddy up in me to get going.
Time stops me from exercising more
Time and money. So hard to afford a gym…and so hard to find time to go. Home workouts are the BEST!
I need to schedule it in more. I make plans to and something always comes up
My health stops me from exercising more. I fell down in my driveaway and broke my foot.
Lack of time precludes me from exercising more.
The weather. I hate indoor exercising so have a very hard time in the winter.
Lack of energy!
not having enough time! thanks!
If there is an unexpected change in my routine, it throws me off.
My own laziness. 🙁
I never seem to have enough time!
Sometimes dealing with the kids and it doesn’t leave time for me
When I get home I’m tired from work and I have other things to do like make dinner, clean the house, etc. I need to make time for exercising.
I want to go to the gym, but I have the kids all day long.
I’m just plain lazy!!
The time to get out and actually take a class. It would be so much easier to do it in the comfort of my own home while the kids are taking a nap.
definitely lack of time available to do so
My kids hanging around my ankles 😉
The thing that stops me is lack of motivation. I feel like I don’t have enough willpower or time in the day. Thanks.

I feel like the day gets away from me and so By the end of the day I’m exhausted
No motivation, dont enjoy it
With four kids, a very busy husband and a full-time career, it is very hard to find the time to eat/go to the bathroom let alone exercise :)!
not having enought energy
it is not fun,motivation!
lack of time
Lack of time
The work. I’m lazy. LOL
Working out can be very boring & I’d rather be doing something else.
Busy Schedule, Not Enough Time.
Definitely time! Kids + school!
My 1 year old. He is having a hard time at night and I wake up exhausted.
The thing that stops me is lack of time. I usually work out for an hour a day at home, but have been crunched for time lately and have slacked off.
Not finding the time for it. 🙁
When I have a cold.
Getting out of the house.
being tired after work
I have Fibromyalgia so some days I have a hard time getting to the gym to workout. I would love to be able to workout at home.
The kids always keeping me on my toes.
No facilities any where near where I live
Not enough time and a little lazy
being stressed out stops me
Never enough time
Lack of child care, and lack of energy when I do get some.
not having the equipment handy
time that is one thing for sure
Family’s erratic schedule
My issue is lack of time and motivation
I usually don’t have enough time, and I work so much that I get too tired to exercise.
Lack of time! With 2 kids and one on the way, a full time job, and a husband who works 60-80 hours a week, my hands are FULL 24/7
Getting everything else done makes it hard to get to the gym.
Cool giveaway!! Would give it a try
No one to watch my kids so I can go to a gym
Pretty cool! I like that I don’t have to get into the car to drive to the gym.
If I get on the floor to exercise, my son climbs on me.
Not enough time.
Having a little bit of privacy!
You can’t beat free! Ive been looking for an at home workout too. Can’t wait to try it. (for this month at least)
