5. A method, comprising:
generating, by a system comprising a processer, an instructor avatar corresponding to a group fitness instructor that is configured to facilitate performance of a group fitness routine by two or more users;
presenting, by the system, the instructor avatar to the two or more users during the performance of the group fitness routine by the two or more users;
receiving, by the system, first physiological feedback from a first user of the two or more users during the performance of the group fitness routine by the first user;
receiving, by the system, second physiological feedback from a second user of the two or more users during the performance of the group fitness routine by the second user;
evaluating, by the system, performance of the group fitness routine by the first user based on comparison of the first physiological feedback and the second physiological feedback;
determining, by the system, a reaction for manifestation by the instructor avatar, regarding an aspect of the performance of the group fitness routine by the first user based on the comparison; and
causing, by the system, the instructor avatar to perform the reaction as presented to the two or more users during the performance of the group fitness routine by the two or more users.
6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:
determining, by the system, whether the first user should maintain or modify the aspect of the performance of the group fitness routine by the first user based on the comparing, wherein the reaction comprises an instruction to be spoken or performed by the avatar regarding whether the first user should maintain or modify the aspect of the performance of the group fitness routine.
7. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:
presenting, by the system, the instructor avatar in a graphical user interface that also includes a first user avatar that corresponds to the first user and a second user avatar that corresponds to the second user.
8. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
generating an instructor avatar corresponding to a group fitness instructor that is configured to facilitate performance of a group fitness routine by two or more users;
presenting the instructor avatar to the two or more users during the performance of the group fitness routine by the two or more users;
receiving first sensory feedback from a first user of the two or more users in real-time during the performance of the group fitness routine by the first user, wherein the first sensory feedback comprises first physiological or motion data;
receiving second sensory feedback from a second user of the two or more users in real-time during the performance of the fitness routine by the second user, wherein the second sensory feedback comprises second physiological or motion data;
evaluating performance of the group fitness routine by the first user based on comparison of the first sensory feedback and the second sensory feedback;
determining a reaction, for manifestation by the instructor avatar, regarding an aspect of the performance of the group fitness routine by the first user based on the comparison; and
causing the instructor avatar to perform the reaction as presented to the two or more users during the performance of the group fitness routine by the two or more users.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the two or more users are remote from one another and wherein the instructor avatar is presented at respective devices of the two or more users during the concurrent performance of the group fitness routine by the two or more users.
10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the reaction comprises verbal feedback directed to the first user regarding the aspect of the performance of the group fitness routing by the first user.
11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the reaction comprises verbal feedback directed to one or more users other than the first user regarding the aspect of the performance of the group fitness routing by the first user.
12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the reaction comprises feedback identifying the first user and the second user and comparing the aspect of the performance of the group fitness routine by the first user relative to a second aspect of the performance of the group fitness routine to the second user.
13. The system of claim 1 , wherein the reaction comprises verbal feedback directed to the first user regarding the aspect of the performance of the group fitness routine by the first user.
14. The system of claim 1 , wherein the reaction comprises verbal feedback directed to the second user regarding the aspect of the performance of the group fitness routine by the first user.
15. The method of claim 5 , wherein the reaction comprises feedback identifying the first user and the second user and comparing the aspect of the performance of the group fitness routine by the first user relative to a second aspect of the performance of the group fitness routine to the second user.
16. The method of claim 5 , wherein the reaction comprises verbal feedback directed to the second user regarding the aspect of the performance of the group fitness routine by the first user.
17. The system of claim 1 , wherein the evaluating comprises determining that the aspect of the performance of the first user is better than a corresponding aspect of the performance of the fitness routine performed by the second user.
18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the determining the reaction comprises determining feedback that calls attention to the aspect of the performance of the fitness routine by the first user based on it being better than the corresponding aspect of the performance of the fitness routine performed by the second user.
19. The system of claim 17 , wherein the determining the reaction comprises determining feedback that calls attention to the performance of the fitness routine by the first user being superior to the performance of the fitness routine by the second user.
20. The system of claim 17 , wherein the determining the reaction comprises determining feedback directed to the second user that encourages the second user to adjust the performance of the fitness routine by the second user to be more like the performance of the fitness routine by the first user.
