Beachbody On Demand: New Feature!

Who loves Beachbody on Demand? ME ME ME!!!!

Why do I love it? Because it's a super convenient way for me to not only workout wherever I can get an Internet connection, but also because it allows me to try out workout programs that I haven't purchased! One day on my lunch break I even streamed Insanity Max 30 10 Minute Abs from my "Purchased Programs" suite so that I could get some movement in from my otherwise desk-surfer day job! If I want to go to the park and stream I can. If I'm traveling and don't want to lug my DVDS around, I can stream! It's the best!

But the one thing that I would've changed when I want to use it at home is to not have to connect my laptop to the TV. To me it's just an extra step I don't want to go through. Lol. I think it's mainly because I really, really, REALLY despise having cords all over the place. (Little known pet peeve fact about me! Lol. Now you know)

So today I am SUPER excited to announce that Beachbody in Demand can now be streamed through several different TV services!

Roku players and Roku TV Models

1. Start by searching for Beachbody on Demand in the Roku Channel Store. Add the channel and press OK on the remote to install the channel.
2. You'll next see a screen pop up with a URL and an activation code. Enter the URL into the Internet Browser on your computer, tablet, or phone and login to your Beachbody on Demand account. You will then be prompted to enter an activation code. Then press the submit button. The page should then alert you that the device has been activated.
3. Once the activation is done, the Beachbody On Demand Channel will automatically launch on your Roku player or Ruku TV.
4. To choose a workout, select the workout and then press OK on your remote.

    Beachbody on Demand is supported on current generation Roku players, Roku Streaming Stick
    and Roku TV models.

Google Chromecast

3. Connect your laptop to the same Wi-Fi network as your Chromecast
4. Login to Beachbody on Demand on your laptop and select a workout.
5. Once you're ready to begin a workout, click the "cast" icon that appears in the upper right-hand corner of your browser and watch the workout go from your laptop to the big screen.

In our house we own the Roku box already and it's always connected to the TV; so this makes me so happy! You don't need to do anything extra other than be a club level member, which gives you access to the On Demand Service.

Apple TV

Notes:
  • Once the app is live you will need to download the App and sign in through a provided URL and activation code. Once this step is completed, you will be logged into your account and you can start using Beachbody On Demand through your Apple TV.
  • It is possible to sign up through Apple TV – it should be noted, sign-ups through this channel will be part of Apple's database and we will not be able to connect these customers and any volume or commissions associated with this sign-up to your Coach account.  Please note: there is a different pricing model via the Apple sign-up. Coaches can still offer their customers the best price by enrolling through Teambeachbody.com and BeachbodyOnDemand.com. Also, Coaches and customers who sign up through Apple TV will NOT have access to Purchased Programs; however, these users will be able to access our complete backlog of Member Library programs including INSANITY, P90X3, TurboFire, etc. 

A FEW MORE THINGS TO NOTE:
  • As an Apple user, our BOD app can ONLY be accessed through the new Apple TV, 4th generation. Any previous versions of Apple TV or any other Apple Devices cannot access our App unless it is streamed to a TV using Apple AirPlay. 
  • ALL customers using Beachbody On Demand through the new Apple TV will NOT have access to sneak peeks and trainer Q&As.

I'm LOVING all the innovation that Beachbody is coming out with this year. All to make it easier for us to stay healthy and active!
