A complete gym on the monitor
THE OFFER : In this online fitness studio you can download individual courses. My first impression: This is what a studio should look like, whether virtual or real. The site is visually very appealing, nicely organized, and I can click on film sequences everywhere that make the different courses appealing to me. I see the trainer, hear him speak – and get an impression of what the long download version of the course offers. On the one hand, the offer includes classics, as you know them from the real studio: aerobics, body forming, Pilates , stretching, back workouts, abs, legs and buttocks, Postnatal Gymnastics. On the other hand, there are more exotic offerings (currently only on DVD, soon also available for download) such as ballet and Pussycat Dolls dance workouts. Street dance appeals to me. No risk of embarrassing myself as a beginner! Because the “One-Woman-Show” starts privately in my living room. With PayPal I can download the version immediately for 2.99 euros (otherwise the film is only available after receipt of payment). A certain Kathrin dances everything for me. But before I put a full-length mirror in my room, I’ll practice a little more!
PRICE : from 2.99 euros per download
CONCLUSION : A great portal for anyone who travels a lot (with a laptop) or wants to get a taste of various courses without committing to a real studio right away. And all without a subscription! You only pay for what you really want and the trainers are great.

The running club for joggers
The running club for joggers and runners
THE OFFER : Welcome to the runner’s paradise! Anyone can enter or search for routes here – wherever they are and want to train. In addition, there are training plans, running coaching, a large forum, information about shoes and various statistical tools – e.g. B. kilometers run per year. I immediately write down my first run in Hamburg. Exciting: I can see the kilometers I have covered per hour, and later also the monthly and annual kilometers. I can also enter how my weight has changed, and if I’ve been lazy, an email will come from the “bastard”. Friendly, determined or tough – I decide that myself, as well as the frequency. This is how jogmap becomes a virtual personal trainer. But I also meet real “running buddies” – either online or live if I want to meet up.
CONCLUSION : A motivational must for all runners, no matter what their claim. The documentation of your own performance, the great route tips and the “bastard” make you want to run.
The training partner
A sporty kettle colorful
THE OFFER: I surf in an endless world of fitness. This is my first impression of this site. Unfortunately, I’m initially passive because I keep getting stuck on interesting articles about the latest fitness trends. 400 different individual exercises for specific muscle groups are described here, I find training plans, a gym search by post code and much more… However, the huge range seems a bit bustling and unstructured to me. Only after wildly surfing back and forth do I discover the many exercises to watch. I can use a menu bar to set which muscle groups I want to train and what equipment I have at home: gymnastics mat, Theraband or tubes? Short films or photos explain how it works. I save five exercises for the shoulder and neck muscles in my new training plan. The films also include office exercises – a good idea to train away your tension for a few minutes in between. Unfortunately, the dull presentation offers nothing for the eye. Too bad, that slows down the fun of night gymnastics! I consciously surf around the large forum: I want to use Fitness.com as a training partner and not organize a reading marathon!
CONCLUSION : The portal offers a lot of interesting things about fitness, nutrition and health. Great if you have the time to poke around!
