Ask HN: Are There Any Virtual Gym / Online Workout Startups?

Are there any virtual gyms / online workout program startups working to replace traditional gyms?

My partner's gym is a franchise of a national chain that has had a lousy time trying to take their business online.

They're trying to offer a pretty low quality and poorly customized offering and want $160 a month for it.

Curious if anyone's already using or knows of a newer startup focused on replacing existing in-person gyms, their community type offerings and challenges.

Are you aware of zwift - pretty big in virtual biking world!

If someone can do something similar for weights - tracking reps, sets etc (even for real), that would be awesome. Metrics go a long way to keep you focused. Strava did wonders to me when I started to run.
