iyoga has a new name – movimundi

We have listened to the feedback from the studios interviewed by us – and the 1^st result is a new name for our service.

All components of iyoga – iOS and Android mobile apps and the browser app are now available under new name – movimundi.

The iyoga software will for some time continue to work in parallel to the new movimundi software, so there is no immediate action needed on your side, however we recommend switching to movimundi soon. All future upgrades will be delivered to movimundi only.

On movimundi you will continue to use your current iyoga login credentials. You will see on movimundi the same familiar view – your studios, booked classes, and the credits purchased by you. All your data is transferred to the new platform.

I never go to the gym again

While many yogis cannot wait until they get back to their local yoga studios, other who during pandemic have developed a liking for home practice and prefers the home workouts over travelling to a gym.

In a recent survey 65% of yoga students said they prefer both online and off-line class options from their local studio

Lisa, fitness fan from UK, has shared in an interview with BBC that she is unlikely to ever return to the gym in person.

“I’m definitely not going back to the gym. I’m a busy working mum, and there is always a reason not to exercise. Online workouts are really good for me because I’m time poor.”

She has children to look after and work to do, and she appreciates “short online classes, things you can do in a flat that are quiet so not to annoy your neighbors.

Her studio offered classes without equipment, or ones she could do on her kids’ trampoline.

Make it easy on your clients

How many emails with Zoom links did you receive during these last few months?

How often did you clean up your mailbox from these emails?

Did you ever call into a wrong meeting? (yes! It happened to me)

What if there would be a way to join your online yoga class without looking for an email? What if the notification about your class arrived at your phone and you simply click on it to open the class?

Do you want to try it? Do you want to spoil your students and give them the luxury of simple and easy interface to attend your classes?

Forget the Zoom links, focus on yoga!

I was just thinking, what is it that I like the most about teaching with iyoga?

I mean, the schedule looks exceptionally good, but it’s finally only a schedule. Payments work smoothly, but it is how the payments should work. When I’m in a hurry before the class, I like the ease of accessing the client information and calling her directly from the app. But what is it that I like the most?

Yes! The streaming built into the app! I do not need to store the Zoom link anymore, nor to look for it when I’m about to start. I can teach from wherever I am, the START button is just there in the class!

post-pandemic trends in fitness industry

COVID-19 induced changes in the fitness industry

With gyms and fitness studios closed for months, the commute to work out has disappeared for millions of consumers. Clients have observed that fitness streaming services offer convenience and value. Many are reportedly working out more frequently than they were before the pandemic.

Pre-COVID, working out typically meant carving out time to visit a gym, something many people found challenging in their busy lives. But now streaming services and apps are bringing workouts into consumers’ homes — often at significantly lower costs than a traditional gym membership.

Necessity prompted many people to try fitness streaming services for the first time.

The change in the fitness industry is permanent.

The shift to online triggered by the Covid-19 restrictions changed the client behaviors permanently.

In addition to convenience, fitness streaming services are also at an advantage over physical gyms when it comes to cost. Many consumers have used the pandemic as an opportunity to identify ways in which they can reduce their spending.

While a big part of the clients will return to the re-opening fitness facilities, still there is equally big group which has changed their behaviors, changed their work routines, and is inclined to continue their daily work out from home, guided by online instruction. They have no plans to renew their gym memberships once the threat of Covid-19 has passed, or they plan to combine both in-person and at-home workouts when the pandemic is over.

Post-pandemic fitness industry strategies.

Studios need to maintain a variety of classes in the schedule – ONLINE and IN-STUDIO. They introduce a novelty HYBRID classes, taught from the studio with the streaming option ON.

Studio owners and managers need simple, easy-to-use tools enabling flexibility and variety of the schedule, delivering the in-app virtual streaming experience, without error prone email-based setups and complex automations requiring manual touch.

iyoga is a platform delivering exactly this – all-in-one app for the students, teachers and studio managers, to manage the schedule and the clients from the smartphone or from laptop, with built-in booking, payments, client management – and the best part is that the video streaming for ONLINE classes is an integral function coming for free with the app, no other tools or accounts are needed.
