What is the difference between a LIVE class and a recorded class on demand?

Recorded videos can be viewed anytime, allowing you to pause and rewind at will, as well as adjust the instructor and music volumes.

I’m new here, where should I start?

We recommend starting with Anna's Weekly Class Program subscription. This gives you access to 5 LIVE classes a week + 5 recorded classes.

We recommend taking the recorded/live classes in this order: DANCE, SCULPT, HIIT, POWER UP. Rest between workouts is important so try to take a day off between two workouts. (Ex. M(dance), T(Sculpt), W(day off), Th (HIIT), F(PowerUp), Sat(day off). Add an extra workout at the end of the week if you feel motivated!

We recommend taking DANCE before POWER UP.

How do I cast the workouts onto my TV?

HOW TO CAST ANNA KAISER STUDIOS LIVE TO AN APPLE TV FROM MAC/OS:

Always connect your iOS/iPadOS/macOS to the same Wi-Fi network as your Apple TV. If you have a macOS computer (MacBook Pro, iMac, etc.) you can use AirPlay to mirror your desktop to an Apple TV device that's connected to the same Wi-Fi network. In the top right corner - click AirPlay icon. If you don't see this icon, go to the Apple menu in the upper left corner, then navigate to System Preferences > Displays > select Show mirroring options in the menu bar when available. Select your Apple TV. Your TV will begin to mirror your macOS. From here, navigate to  the On Demand/LIVE class in your web browser on your Mac and begin playing the video. Put the volume all the way up on your macOS, then control volume from there on your TV. Turn on your camera and place macOS in a spot where it's filming you. There may be a slight lag when you turn your camera on and/or off - don't fret - it'll catch up with itself. For optimal full-screen view on your TV, remain in the Speaker view and enter into full-screen on your macOS. After class, return to the top right corner of your macOS, click AirPlay icon and select Stop AirPlay.

Yes! The platform will work wherever you have access to WiFi.

What equipment is needed for the workouts?

You will need a set of light weights (2lbs or 3lbs), heavy weights (5lbs or 8lbs), and a mat

Optional equipment: Pilates ball, box, resistance bands

What shoes do you recommend for classes?

We suggest a supportive, well-fitting, cross-training sneaker. Pick a shoe with great structure and shock absorption to support you through high impact movements and quick changes in direction. Avoid shoes made for running as their tread tends to run in one direction and can get slippery. We like Hokas, Adidas and Asics best.

When is new content released?

New content is dropped every Sunday so you can start your workouts fresh on Monday!

Where do I see this week’s videos?

Once you are logged in, you will scroll down to the section titles 'Collections', you will see 2 collections here: the first is 'Anna's Weekly Class Program', this iincludes the 5 videos for the current week. The second collection is 'Unlimited VOD', to view videos from this collection, you will need to purchase the collection for $50, this will give you access for 30 days.

How many days a week should I workout?

Each week, take one of each of the 4 class formats live or on your own time. Recovery days are important, so please schedule at least one recovery day between the four workouts (Ex: M, T, day off, Th, F, day off).

I’m registered for a LIVE class, now what?

Once you register for class, you can add the class to your calendar. Before class begins you will return to virtual.annakaiserstudios.com and login to your profile. Click 'Live' then when the button says 'Doors Open', you can click the button and enter class!

What are some ways I can adjust the intensity of the workouts?

Our classes are accessible to all fitness levels. If the cardio or weights are too intense, you can modify by lowering the weight or only using body weight. You can lower the intensity of the movements by stepping instead of jumping, and still get your heart rate up! We also have an on demand virtual library available for purchase- that includes some broken down beginner classes as well.
