Beachbody On Demand is a milestone for the company, providing our proven fitness programs on a new platform accessible to anyone with an Internet connection, said Carl Daikeler, Chairman/CEO and co-founder of Beachbody. With a mission of helping people achieve their goals, Beachbody is once again making it easier for people of all ages to live more healthy, fulfilling lives.
Earlier this year, access to Beachbody On Demand was first offered to the company's team of Beachbody Coaches, who tested the service and provided feedback on the user experience. During its initial two-months, more than 1.5 million videos were viewed, totaling nearly 400,000 hours of video streamed through the service.
Beachbody On Demand is available to anyone with a connected device, from mobile phones and tablets to desktop and laptops, as well as on TV's through over-the-top (OTT) streaming devices including current generation Roku players and Roku TV™ models, Amazon Fire TV and Google Chromecast. Through these devices, Beachbody On Demand will play on some of today's hottest platforms, bringing the new streaming service to even bigger screens.
Celebrating the introduction of its new streaming offering, Beachbody is inviting everyone to start the service's free 30-day trial by joining in the Beachbody Super Workout, a one-hour live event led by some of the country's most popular celebrity trainers. More than 20,000 people will be participating in the Super Workout held in the streets of Nashville, and streamed live at BeachbodyOnDemand.com this Saturday, July 18 at 6 a.m. CST.
