Fitness startup BurnAlong raised $1 million in funding to expand its streaming platform to more states and countries, according to co-CEO Daniel Freedman.

Among participating investors in the oversubscribed round were Brown Advisory, Baltimore Angels, Machem Capital and Johns Hopkins University. The company recently received $25,000 as part of the M-1 Ventures accelerator cohort at JHU.
