VirtualGym TV, a new internet-based gym, plans to revolutionise the way in which large companies cater for the fitness needs of their employees.

VirtualGym TV offers an online bank of full-length professional health and fitness training sessions – each conducted by an industry leading fitness instructor. It is also available to users at a fraction of the price of either normal gym membership or purchasing retail fitness DVDs.

The website also offers members a state-of-the-art ‘Virtual Personal Trainer’ facility that recommends a course of fitness sessions tailored to their individual needs, level of ability and physiological condition.

“It offers members an online library of fitness DVDs led by some of the best fitness instructors in the industry,” says celebrity personal trainer Nicki Waterman, who has developed some of the site’s content. “Whether you are a busy professional who likes to stay in shape or a large corporation providing for the needs of hundreds or even thousands of employees, online personal training is the cost-effective fitness solution for the 21st century”.

VirtualGym TV Managing Director Richard Davis believes the website could herald a personal fitness revolution for large companies.

“New government legislation puts far greater pressure on businesses to cater for the mental and physical wellbeing of their employees,” he says. “For companies with staff in several locations, the cost of building new fitness facilities or providing access to local facilities is potentially massive. The alternative provided by VirtualGym TV could save huge amounts of money.”

Davis also believes that the website’s groundbreaking ‘Virtual Personal Trainer’ facility provides individual members with a fitness service way beyond their normal budget.

“Effectively members are receiving a personalised programme – from trainers who have worked with the likes of Robbie Williams and Gordon Ramsay – that would previously have been beyond the budget of all but the super-rich. This service represents the future of personal fitness,” he says.
