What is WOWY, aka Beachbody’s Online Supergym?

After you have your account, click on the WOWY menu. There’s a lot you can do here including setting and tracking your fitness goals, but what I want to talk about in this post is the workout schedule and accountability buillt into this virtual gym.

The first thing you’ll want to do when you go to WOWY is set up your workout scheule. There are a few ways to do this. You can enter each workout right before you do them, you can schedule them ahead of time, or you can enter them into your calendar after the workout is completed.

If you choose the latter option, you’ll be missing out on a few key benefits of the virtual gym. First, you won’t have the opportunity to enter the daily sweapstakes where you can win prizes and cash up to $1000 per day. And second, you won’t see other people who were just working out at the same time that you might want to encourage or ask questions about your workout.

Ok, so for the first two options…I’ll talk about logging in one workout at a time. This is probably the simple solution to getting started right away because it is easy to figure out. You’ll want to set up your fitness programs to make it easier for you to select your workout. Your coach can help you do this. (Don’t worry. If you don’t have a coach, you will get one when you sign up for your free Beachbody account. If you sign up from my website, I will be your coach.)

When you get ready to workout, log in to WOWY, select the exercise you are about to do and the duration. Then, select workout now. A time bar will come up indicating that you are currently working out and what program. Anyone else currently logged into the supergym will be able to see your pic or avatar and what workout you are doing.

After the workout, you might want to make a comment such as Ab Ripper X, I love it….I hate it! Or, you might want to go to the cool down chat room to talk about your workout, see what other people are saying, and to ask questions to other people who have done the workout you are doing.

The final option for WOWY gives you all the benefits of the last option but with a little more. If you schedule your workouts ahead of time, your calendar will actually show your planned workouts. This helps keep you accountable. If you see that you’ve missed a couple of workouts, this tool can help you get back on track.

Each day that you have a workout scheduled, it will automatically come up on your WOWY page. When you log in, all you have to do is press play. That means you have less to do prior to your workout!

If you want to save even more time, take advantage of the program scheduler function which allows you to select a program such as Turbo Fire and a start date. Then, the computer software automatically plugs in all your scheduled workouts on the appropriate days according to the TurboFire workout schedule. How cool is that? You can even make adjustments to it if needed.
