If getting to the gym just isn’t possible for you right now, don’t fret - there’s plenty of alternative ways to fight the flab and that is with the best online workouts.

Thanks to the internet, we’re no longer limited to bricks and mortar fitness studios when it comes to working out and staying in shape.

With the recent explosion in fitness streaming platforms, we can now take part in high-quality workout classes - live streamed or on-demand - in the comfort of our own homes. Better yet, these are brought to us from highly trained PTs and instructors that are just as engaging as in real life.

Whether it’s yoga, cardio, pilates or body weight training, here are some of the best fitness streaming platforms you can sign up and workout to at home right now.

11. Movement For Modern Life

Founded by UK city-lawyer-turned-yogi, Kat Farrants, the Movement for Modern Life platform offers an intimate online experience where users can benefit from a handpicked selection of the very best yoga teachers from the UK. There’s over 800 yoga, meditation and mindfulness videos on the platform currently, with the app offering users a host of classes from a range of experience levels, length (from 2 minutes to 90 minutes), and yoga type. We like how down to earth the classes on the platform feel; it’s like having a friendly yoga teacher right in the room with you!

10. Remote Coach

If you’re looking for something a little more personal when it comes to home fitness, such as guided workouts and advice from PTs, then you have Remote Coach. Removing the need to have a trainer in your local vicinity, the app allows users to workout alongside their favourite coaches or as a personalised one-on-one online. You can also link your Apple Watch and Healthkit to the app so both client and coach see your vitals such as heart rate and calories burned as well as a summary at the end. Small note: 1:1 coaching is additional.

9. Beachbody On Demand

It’s very polished and American but if that doesn’t bother you then Beachbody On Demand is a great option for those who want streaming access to hundreds of super-premium workouts and fitness programmes. Some you might already be familiar with, such as Insanity. As part of the service, there’s also a bunch of tools to offer you an all-rounded approach to health to help you to conquer your fitness goals, such as customised meal plans and access to the brand’s healthy cooking show, Fixate. A great all-round approach to on-demand fitness.

8. Moviing

Moviing is a worldwide community of instructors that have made a name for themselves blogging or instagramming about being fit and looking amazing - all united in one place to bring you online yoga and fitness videos that you can follow remotely. Classes range from strength, sculpt, yin yoga, flexibility, dance and cardio which are suitable for all backgrounds. Programs can be accessed on your own time, completed at your own pace, and done anywhere you have the space to move.
