Spivi Home & Replay

For studios that have the Spivi Home Service enabled, their classes will automatically be broadcast and available online via the Spivi Home software for home users to connect to.

Home users can then join any workout session from participating studios all around the world.

When a home user connects to the workout session from their home, their avatar will appear on the screen, and their stats will be seen on the studio’s leaderboards in real-time.

Home users will be able to see and hear the instructor, along with their music, through the Spivi Home software.
