We've followed the development of the Bande platform closely. aSweatLife ambassadors helped to test the platform as Bande built a powerhouse roster of instructors and technology that helps you connect to friends in your streaming fitness classes.
And you'll hear Bande's founder Rebecca Balyasny featured on our podcast this week where she'll share what started her journey towards creating this platform. "I realized that there was nothing out there that allowed you to connect socially with your friends and get in a great workout and I just saw that white space," she said.
And if you're interested in continuing your virtual fitness routine, which is another thing that's #betterwithfriends, you can look forward to features like social connections (think LinkedIn, but for fitness), a newsfeed of your connections that gives you the inside scoop of which of your friends are taking what classes, and - our favorite - "whisper" a feature that allows you to open a private audio channel with people so you can complain and commiserate as Bande’s seasoned instructors are leading you through your sweat.
