传统健身房遭遇流媒体打卡健身挑战(4)

Lauren Kleban, the founder of LEKit, a dance-inspired fitness method based in Los Angeles, started streaming classes in 2016 to reach more clients.

Her studio counts I Feel Pretty's Busy Philipps and Shameless star Emmy Rossum as fans, and scouring social media for #lekit returns sweaty selfies from users at home.

Kleban's $19.99-per-month service is so important to her business that her new flagship studio is being built with streaming in mind.

"Everything will be designed around camera placement, client placement, and of course sound and lighting are playing an even bigger role than they would have normally," she says.

Still, Kleban takes pains to make sure that she properly connects with her streamers by holding weekly Instagram chats and attempting to learn as many of their names as possible.

"As an instructor, I was always taught that people want to be acknowledged for what they're doing," she says.

There are also safety concerns to consider when taking classes at home, since participants risk incurring injuries without a professional present to coach them on their form, Thompson warns.

To avoid this, he suggests being cautious when choosing home workout programs.

"Pick a class that's appropriate for you, and make the changes as you go along," he says.

"Monitor yourself and make sure you're physically capable of doing it. "
