WHAT IS...?
FLIVE
An app that live-streams training sessions
gives PTs and clients the flexibility to train
without being on the gym floor together.
reated by fitness professionals for fitness professionals,
Flive (fitness live) is the world’s first live-streaming
fitness app.
Free to download, and free for trainers to use, PTs live-stream
sessions to a potentially unlimited number of viewers who have
paid a small fee for the training session. If they are unable to live-
stream, the viewer has 30 days in which to watch the session
before it expires.
Once you – the fitness professional – have created an account,
you can schedule a workout at a time that suits you. Then, set a name
for the session, a length of time (either 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes),
a level (beginner, intermediate or advanced), a price ($0.99, $1.99
or $5.99USD) and a category (muscle building, women’s fitness,
indoor/outdoor workout or other).
The next step is to promote the session by uploading a
10-second preview video detailing what the session is going to
include. Once created, users (i.e. your potential online clients)
can watch this promo video and decide whether to purchase the
session.
Once you’ve scheduled a session, it’s in your interest to promote
it to all of your followers and clients on other social media platforms,
because the higher the number of views the session receives, the
more you get paid.
Thirty minutes prior to the scheduled session going live, you
receive a notification reminding you that it’s almost time for lights,
camera, action! This reminder is sent again fifteen minutes, nine
minutes and three minutes before the session time.
Once the countdown reaches zero, you press the GO LIVE
button, point your phone camera at yourself and deliver the
session. The session is streamed, and recorded, live through the
app, and users can participate.
Once the session has been completed, the video stays active on
the platform for 30 days before it expires and is no longer viewable.
After this, you receive a notification stating the amount earned for
the session, and will be paid out, up to 50% of the total revenue.
In a similar way to other social media platforms, you can build a
following and be notified if someone ‘likes’ or ‘follows’ you, or one
of your sessions.
With no limit on the number of sessions you can schedule and
deliver, and a theoretically limitless audience of fitness consumers,
the Flive app appears to offer a potential supplementary income
stream for fitness professionals.
