ABOUT GIXO
Gixo is a mobile app that offers more than 180 live fitness classes for anyone and at all levels, every week.
Users can workout from home, the office, their neighborhood, or the great outdoors – essentially turning phones into virtual gyms.
There is a variety of workouts – 15, 25 or 40-minute sessions – that range from cardio (like walking and running) to strength training (focusing on areas like core and glutes).
Every class has great mixed music with an awesome live coach giving feedback and tracking your progress throughout the entire workout.
Gixo was acquired by Openfit in 2019.
