FitnessClass iPad App Review

Sean, technology guru for Mahalo.com, gives the FitnessClass iPad app a score of four out of five stars. He claims that the app does "quite a bit for what it is." The 230 videos have more than enough variety to suit each person's preferences and workout goals. He suggests that anyone with an iPad who is interested in fitness videos should download FitnessClass, "because the app is free and does come with seven free fitness videos."http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QxJet7Rd-8&feature=player_embedded

Sean claims that the downside to the app is that the videos only stream and cannot be downloaded locally to the iPad's memory. Therefore, users can only access the FitnessClass app where there is WiFi or 3G, and are unable to open the videos from their personal files. For this reason, Sean could not give the app a score of five out of five stars, though its other features are certainly impressive.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QxJet7Rd-8&feature=player_embedded
