Grokker Announces Enhanced Group Classes

Expanded Functionality Allows Users to Select from Extensive Content Library, Set Schedule and Invite Participants 


SAN JOSE, Calif., May 20, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In support of its commitment to community, Grokker, the on-demand video wellbeing solution, today announced a significant upgrade to its Group Classes feature. Users can now select any video from Grokker’s proprietary library of more than 4,000 expert-led classes, set a time and invite others to join them. The newly updated functionality enables real-time connection around physical and emotional wellbeing during social distancing.

“We introduced Group Classes at the end of April as a way for people to feel connected and interact virtually around wellbeing. The enhancements introduced today give users the power to customize and curate a shared experience for themselves with friends, family and colleagues,” said Lorna Borenstein, founder and CEO of Grokker. “It’s a way for people to get together with one another while establishing and promoting healthy habits during this time.”

With enhanced features, users can schedule group classes by selecting any of Grokker’s fitness, yoga, cooking and mindfulness videos. After setting their preferred date and time, they simply invite their friends, family or coworkers to join. Invitees receive an email with the class details as well as a reminder with a link before the class starts. As participants enter the scheduled event, they can chat in real-time before, during and after the video starts playing.

Borenstein added, “What community means and looks like continues to evolve. Having the ability to bring people together around content that engages the whole group helps strengthen the bonds we have with others – whether that means close friends or cherished coworkers. The restrictions around social distancing may change, but we’ll always need that sense of connection.” 

For those interested in the enhanced Group Classes feature, access to Grokker remains free to individuals, organizations, non-profits and businesses through May 31, 2020.
