Why it made our list
Launched in January 2008, Virtual Gym TV is a live broadcasting and on-demand online gym, offering an array of downloadable fitness exercise classes. Dubbing itself the world’s first online gym, the company aims to reach the 85% of the UK population who don’t use the traditional gym or health club options. To date, Virtual Gym TV has served the needs of some 125,000 employees, and Richard expects this to grow to more than 350,000 during the course of 2010. Corporate clients include Kent County Council, West Hertfordshire NHS Trust and the Metropolitan Police.
