The demand for virtual online fitness classes has risen significantly.  It’s no surprise that this is happening in the United States, but recent data shows this same shift in consumer needs on an international level. 

This means that you will have the ability to reach an international audience and capture fans from Canada, Australia, South Africa, and the United Kingdom, just to name a few.  You can start earning additional income for yourself and generate revenue for your business now.  What’s holding you back?

Any video content creator will tell you that if you want to look completely on-point,  it’s all about good lighting. We could not agree more!  Even with perfect audio and video, poor quality lighting will directly affect your overall quality. Thankfully, it doesn’t take much to elevate the overall appearance of your video and make you stand out and look like a superstar online fitness coach.

F) If you want to look amazing, this lighting kit is your new best friend! 

Cast Panel: The Chauvet DJ Cast Panel Pack is a complete lighting solution for fitness vlogging and any on-camera presentations. The built-in color temperature presets of the Cast Panel lighting kit that make adjustments easy. Separate control of warm and cool LEDs allows fine tuning to whatever color temperature your production needs. The included removable filter widens and softens light output and because the Cast Panels are battery-operated, you can set the lights anywhere with optional battery packs.

If you have a camera or phone that you are currently using, be sure you have the proper tripod.  We’ve seen our fair share of wannabe YouTube stars who balance their phone on a book, or whatever is on their desk, and it, of course, tips over, they look panicked, we laugh, and this is now what they become known for.  They are popular for a very short time and entirely for the wrong reasons. Trust us on this one! Invest in a tripod, stand, or adapter to be sure you don’t end up on a blooper reel.  We have some great options, all on sale: Stands and Adapters for Cameras and Smart Devices — AV Now Fitness Sound
