Need some inspiration or content ideas for your brand new On Demand library? Thanks to several of our customers (50!), we able to provide you with dozens of examples of different types of on-demand workouts, video, ideas, and more.
From how-to instructional videos to guided meditations to nutrition advice and full workouts, the amount of content you can offer your clients is endless. What matters most is finding the types of content your clients will love and providing them with a valuable service they can't get anywhere else.
To make it easier for you to view we have broken down this extensive list in alphabetical order by type of content and genre. We also provided a list of our top tips for organising your on-demand content to give your clients a seamless viewing experience at the bottom of the list. So without further ado, let's dive in.
If you have clients and members who have different levels of fitness, your On Demand library is the perfect place to provide them with content they can use anytime they want. Creating filters with the level or specifically curating videos for beginner to advanced classes can help them quickly identify the perfect workouts for them. It can also help your clients build and advance. Starting with a beginner video and working their way up to advance will help your clients keep track of their own progress outside of class. Don't leave anyone out and give something everyone can enjoy at whatever level they are most comfortable with.
Go Physio's Go Pilates knows that their intermediate students might be a little more familiar with some of the more advanced techniques in their classes which is why they offer intermediate classes with equipment included in an intermediate collection. Beginners can find videos curated for them in the beginners' collection as well.

One of the most popular types of on-demand content that you can offer your clients is recordings of your class workouts. Not only are class recordings a huge time-saver, but they allow your clients to experience their favourite classes again and again and give your clients who couldn't make it to class the community look and feel. You can either link your class recordings directly to your library or save the video of you teaching and instructing and offer that to your clients. You won't have to repeat the same workouts, and your clients will enjoy taking their favourite classes at their convenience. Here are several examples of on-demand class recordings:
Bootcamp SE16 offers a number of various class recordings for their clients who can't make it to the park to work out as well as cardio, mobility, and conditioning sessions they can do at home.

Give your customers videos that boost their cardio without making them run on the treadmill or elliptical. There are so many ways to get your cardio levels up that don't require a machine and now is your opportunity to show your clients how to take it up a notch at home. Whether you offer HIIT resistance videos, cardio boxing or dance, or techniques on how to improve your walking, running, or any endurance exercise, your cardio collection is the perfect place to provide your clients with tons of cardio videos that anyone can enjoy.
Take it to the next level with Flin's Fitness HIIT cardio resistance classes. In just 36 minutes, their customers can get an energy-boosting amazing workout that only requires themselves and a couple of dumbbells if they have them at home.

If you enjoy keeping it fresh and mixing up your class content, then combos are just the thing to offer in your library. Whether you mix traditional yoga with HIIT or CrossFit with stretching and endurance training, your customers will love getting to do their favourite exercises in one video. You can make it a series or always offer something new. The combination of different workouts is sure to make your clients want more and more.

Adding introduction videos explaining who you are and what you offer at your business is a helpful way for your customers to get a better idea of what to expect as a member.

The combination of exercise and relaxation is not only proven to help people get in shape, but it can have a major positive impact on their overall health.

The On Demand feature comes with a number of organisational tools to help you make viewing and subscribing easy for your customers.
Create any number of tags you want that your customers can use to filter and easily find the content they love. You can arrange and organise your tags and filters so that they always display on your videos in the same order and your customers can make quick associations from one piece of content to the next. Add music tags, length and level, whatever will make it easiest for your customers to navigate your library.
If you want certain membership plans to have access to certain types of content, your collections can help you do that. When you add videos to a collection, you need to assign membership plans to that collection. Once you do, customers with that membership will be able to view it, and if your customers do not have that membership, but want access they will need to purchase that plan.
You can assign an instructor to each one of your videos as well. If you have multiple instructors creating content for your library or running your online classes you can label each video with that instructor so that your customers can quickly find and watch videos by their favourite instructors.
Creating and clear and consistent format for how you display the content in each video will again, make it easier for your customers to familiarise themselves with. Once you find a format that best serves you and your customers, use that display across all of your videos so they can find exactly what they are looking for whenever they access your library.
