Every year, getting in shape is one of the most popular resolutions people make, but only a tiny fraction of us stick to it.Eighty percent of New Year's resolutions fail by February. If you're getting close to that slump, locally developed fitness platform BurnAlong can help you work out with a friend or a trainer or even take group fitness classes, no matter where you are. Leslie Crawford is serious about staying in shape. She has lost 18 pounds. "I had a closetful of clothes with tags on that I couldn't fit and I just wanted to look good," Crawford said. She got a lot of help with MBS Fitness Lab CEO and celebrity fitness expert Monte Sanders. Two or three times a week, Crawford gets her work outs through BurnAlong. "BurnAlong is a video platform that enables you to exercise wherever you are -- from your phone, computer or television -- to classes from hundreds of gyms around the country," said Daniel Freedman, the platform's co-founder. He said it's not intended to replace, but rather to complement, the gym. There are about 200 classes from trainers all over the country that you can take live or on demand. "I can't reach everybody at the same time. You just can't. So the best thing for a trainer is to be able to touch people anywhere, at any time. So I created workouts that we do in class," Sanders said. When Crawford can't get to Sanders, she can find him or a new workout, on BurnAlong. "I can go right to my living room and pick whatever workout I want. I can do arms that day. I can do legs. I want to do abs, want to do cardio and lower body," Crawford said. And she can do it with friends. There's a feature that allows you to invite friends or family members to take classes with you. "There you are, literally seeing each other and speaking to each other through the screen. So as you're doing the jumping jacks, they're doing the jumping jacks. You can joke, catch up, socialize," Freedman said. And all the while, you are getting the benefit of having your friend hold you accountable.
