Game changing. If you play your cards right, this will be insanely big. Congrats @elliottjperry and @jcbgreen!
I hope you keep a "Flex stream" channel where people can easily join in on a current workout and make the room feel more like a gym/dojo. Currently it feels like it's someone's garage and turns me off from watching. Hire an interior designer or do it yourself, look up some other gym videos people rent, I believe this could really influence how people actually react to videos. Keeping one main channel would allow you to promote sponsored content and get some big names in fitness that don't have the time to do daily workout streams and manage their own channels.
Wish you all the best!
@ianissoawesome@jcbgreen Thank you for the kind words Ian, I'm happy other people see the potential in Flex. Haha, I couldn't agree more - the next event will place greater emphasis on getting the workout environment up to scratch. And good thoughts RE one main channel to attract bigger influencers for one-off shows - I like that idea a lot
This is a great idea! Can streamers monetize? I assume this will become a thing, we will see the "twitch for ... " products start to pop up. "Twitch for cooking classes/lessons" seems like a good idea..
@troy_ruediger hey Troy. Thanks for your support! Yes we will definitely be helping streamers to monetize, nothing finalised yet, but we are looking at how other sites have approached this and talking to fitness instructors to find the best way forward for everyone :)
@samir_doshi Thanks for the kind words Sam! And thank you for sharing.

This is a super interesting idea. You get the feeling of community while working out at home. I’ll be following along for sure – seems like a really cool experiment!
@bite Thank you Steve for the kind words! Yes the community feel is a huge part of why we are building Flex. Great to have you joining us for the journey :) I will check out your company Trading Paints!

This is really a cool idea.I have been thinking about this and my bad,looks like my brain storming wasn't effective enough.Good luck.
Currently ,I see, the app is using livestream. Do you have plans to build your own streaming infrastructure and an app.
Potentially , you can contact some fitness enthusiast who uses P90X. That's an elegant way to get your initial streamers.Just my thought.
@karthrenkarajan Hi Karthik, yes we are using livestream at the moment, and yes we do plan to release our own streaming infrastructure... but that will take time :) I appreciate your thought on contacting streamers, definitely will look into it!
