Ever since Philly fitness studios were forced to close their doors due to coronavirus, instructors have been offering a TON of live-streamed and on-demand classes you can do in your own home. As if those efforts werent amazing enough, some studios have stepped up to support essential workers. Below, a list of local gyms and instructors who are helping folks on the frontlines with discounted or free classes and fundraising events.

The Rittenhouse studio is currently running healthcare hero nominations to honor anyone who embodies the selflessness, compassion, heart, and dedication that we are seeing all around us during this challenging time. Every Friday, the studio will feature one healthcare hero on their page, and gift them one month of unlimited classes at barre3 Rittenhouse. To nominate someone you know (or yourself!), fill out this form.

Every Sunday at 4 p.m., Focus Barre & Yoga is hosting a free live-streamed barre class for healthcare workers. They are also offering healthcare workers 50-percent off their on-demand video library. Email the studio for more details.
