The member-accessible internet site acts a hub for gyms from various locations to host their fitness classes live in either a one-way or two-way feed. A member-accessible internet site provides live one-way, and optional two-way, feeds to multiple live exercise classes being conducted at various remote gym facilities. In the one-way embodiment, the participating member would see the exercise instructor and optionally all or part of the on-site exercise group, but he/she would not be visible to them. In the two-way embodiment, the online participants would also be visible to the instructor on a screen display, which will enable the instructor to critique and correct the exercise technique of the online participants. Other features of the invention include, but are not limited to, online communication capabilities such as instant messaging between members, online groups according to interests and age, one-on-one personal training, articles relating to health and fitness, information about instructors and classes, class schedules, discussion boards to rate different classes, and an initial evaluation survey to determine the appropriate type and level of exercise program for each participant.
