Q&A with Mary Helen:
What inspired you to create the Subscriber Playlist capability? Subscriber Playlists take our one-of-a-kind Custom Workout to the next level. One of my main goals with Ballet Beautiful is to make exercise more accessible and fun. Our Ballet Beauties know what they want! We developed the Subscriber Playlists to give members the ability to revisit and save favorite workouts and have more control over their training. How would you recommend we utilize the Subscriber Playlists to maximize our workouts? The Subscriber Playlists are intended to enhance the Ballet Beautiful Custom Workout program. As our Streaming Library continues to grow and expand, navigating the library has become more complex. Subscriber Playlists provide members the ability to organize, build and save their own workouts, making the streaming library easier to use than ever. The way that you use the playlists is a question of personal preference, which is our goal! Perhaps you want to save and organize your favorite stretch videos, core workouts, dance cardio, or custom build a full body barre workout to complement this week’s Custom Workout program. The ability to build, name and save your own Ballet Beautiful Playlist is here. How do you envision using these playlists to get the most out of the Ballet Beautiful subscription? One of the aspects of the Create Your Own Playlist Feature that I love most is the flexibility that it provides. You can create a workout of any length that is as broad or as specific as you like. You can make a 30-minute leg workout, a 1-hour full body or cardio workout, a pre- or post-natal workout; there are endless possibilities to explore! We have such a massive and (ever expanding!) selection of streaming videos available now, we want members to be able to make the most out of all the options available. Each individual can personalize their playlist to fit their needs, goals, and availability.Subscriber Playlist FAQs:
How many playlists can you make? Is there a limit? You can create and save multiple playlists from our exclusive streaming library. There is no limit to the number of playlists that can be made. Could you walk me through how to access the Ballet Beautiful Subscriber Playlist Feature? Once you have signed up for the Custom Workout subscription, you can access this brand new feature by logging into your account and going to the “My Account” page. On this page you will see three windows, one for each component of your subscription: the Streaming Library, your Custom Workout, and Subscriber Playlists. The streaming library is where you can browse through and watch all of our streaming videos - you can search videos by title, narrow your results down by filtering certain categories, or just scroll through the pages to see what is there. The Custom Workout page will take you to the personalized workout program that Ballet Beautiful creates based on your personal preferences: select your target area and your weekly availability, and we will create a customized daily workout for you made up of the streaming videos in our library. When you click on the Playlists window, you will be taken to a new page where you can create, edit, and save personal playlists that you build yourself from our exclusive Streaming Library. Could you walk me through how to create a Subscriber Playlist? You can choose to either create your own playlist yourself, or have our system create a “random” playlist for you. To create your own playlist: Click on the button that says “Create” in the “Create Personal Playlist” window. This will open a window where you can personalize the options for your playlist. You will need to select One choice from each of the following attributes: *PRO TIP! Clear your cache (or browser history) before beginning.*- Target Area: this is the area of your body that you want your playlist to focus on! You can create a playlist that is super targeted on just one specific body part (arms, core, legs, or butt) or you can choose “full body” for a more generalized workout that includes exercises for all parts of your body. The “cardio” option will include videos that are designed to get your heart rate up and burn fat.
- Level/Intensity: This is the opportunity to choose how difficult you want the videos in your playlist to be. You can select “intro” if you are looking to focus mostly on workouts that are designed for beginners or exercisers that are new to the Ballet Beautiful program, or “challenging” if you prefer videos that are more advanced. You also have the option to choose “all levels” for a mix of all levels - from intro to challenging and everything in between!
- Workout Type: Ballet Beautiful offers a large variety of workouts: mat-based, cardio/standing exercises, barre work, stretching, and pregnancy-based (pre and post-natal workouts). You can narrow down the videos in your playlist by selecting one of these five options, or, if you’d prefer to include all types of workouts, you can choose “mixed”.
- Time: You can also decide the length of the videos you want to include in your playlist - some videos in our library are shorter “blast” videos and are only a few minutes long, while other videos range from 10-20 minutes and include longer and more complete workouts. You can choose to narrow down your videos by length with the following options: “5-10 Min” for shorter workouts, “10+ Min” for longer workouts, or you can choose “All” if you’d like to see allvideos of any length!
- Focus: Do you want your playlist to be centered more on ballet/dance videos, or more on fitness focused videos? Here you can choose from the following options: “Ballet Focused”, “Fitness Focused”, or “Mixed”. If you’d like a combination of both options select “Mixed”, which will include all focuses!
