4 Benefits of Audio-Guided Workouts

Workouts for your ears, mind, body and spirit.

For those of you venturing outside or training in your living room, sometimes you need a break from staring at a screen, especially after a day of, well, staring at a screen.

That’s why we recommend audio workouts. And while audio workouts might not be the go-to for every type of training you face, they’re damn good for some.

If you find yourself headed out the door for a run or need to de-stress with a 5-minute meditation, audio-based classes are a game-changer. Here are 4 benefits of audio-guided workouts and why they make flying solo way more fun!

#1: Eliminate Pressure and Judgment

With Gymondo’s audio workouts, there’s no pressure to keep up with the instructor on-screen or compare yourself to others when attending an in-studio class. And if you’re crunched for time, an audio-guided workout can be done in as little as 20 minutes.

All of us, at some point or another, have felt judged in a packed studio. Sometimes it feels like all eyes are on us, which leaves us feeling vulnerable and unsure of ourselves. For some of us, it’s not the ideal atmosphere for a solid sweat sesh. Gymondo’s audio workouts allow you to push yourself at your own pace without comparing yourself to your instructor or classmates. So when we say there’s no pressure, we really mean it!

#2: Focus on Your Form

Here’s the situation—you’re taking an online class and you notice yourself getting caught up watching the instructor instead of focusing on your own movements.

This can sometimes cause distraction and might even lead to injury if you’re unfamiliar with the exercise. But by removing the visual cues, it makes it much easier for you to remain focused on your own form.

#3: Receive Guided Instruction

Audio workouts are perfect for individual activities like walking, running or meditation. And while you can certainly partake in these activities flying solo, having a coach in your ear provides the motivation you need to work even harder, ultimately helping you attain your next PR.

It’s easy to let your mind wander during your morning run, but Gymondo’s audio-guided workouts deliver guided instruction straight to your ears.

You’ll get reminded to check in on your posture, from pelvic tilt to shoulder positioning and get cues when to increase your tempo or slow down your pace. Over time, these cues will help you become a more efficient, economical runner and unlock better paces while staving off injury.

And did we mention it’s much cheaper than hiring your own personal trainer? It is!

#4: Develop a Routine

It’s easy to make excuses when it comes to exercise. And without a program to follow or a personal trainer to guide you, it’s much more difficult to stick to a routine. That’s where audio-workouts come in.

You select the style of training you like and the days you’d like to train, then simply follow along to the provided instruction. All Gymondo audio workouts are designed by certified trainers so you can feel confident that the routine you’re following will help you reach your goals.
