All gyms and fitness classes have been closed for the past 11 weeks in the UK to slow the spread of Covid-19. The earliest theyre allowed to re-open is July 4, though a confirmed date is unclear as no official government advice has yet been issued.

We do know that when they do open however, gyms and studios will need to abide by the strict social distancing and hygiene guidelines, much like retail stores and hair salons. Previously, you might recall attending a class with 25 people in a small room, being in rather close contact with them (often having to work with them) and sharingequipment. In a post-Covid-19 world however, this will all need to be vastly different to keep staff and gym goers safe, which means everything from yoga to boxing will be affected.

The new generation of spinning has been spearheaded by the likes of Psycle and 1Rebel and sees riders sit in one room for up to an hour riding a bike to dance tracks and with disco lighting, often with a sweat towel at your seat provided by the company. At 1Rebel, classes hold as many as 85 bikes, and are often all filled at its peak time sessions due to popularity. Psycle operated a waiting list which saw people on it get notified 10 minutes before a class if a space had become available.

Previously youd have to squeeze between bikes at these studios to navigate the room, such was their proximity to each other, whereas now, bikes will need to have a minimum of 2 metres between them, meaning less bikes and therefore less availability overall.

Our classes ranged from 20-60 people before, but were looking at only 50% occupancy once we re-open, said Rhian Stephenson, founder of Psycle London. This means that waiting lists are likely to be longer than they previously were. Weve always had lengthy gaps between our classesto allow for a deep clean, and our ventilation is brilliant - we have completely fresh air circulating every 5-7 minutes, said Jason De Savary, founder of Core Collective.

High Intensity Interval Training has long been popular thanks to its fat-burning effectiveness, and innovative offerings such as F45 and Rowbots classes have thrived. While sweating in a small room with up to 20 other exercisers has been the norm, going forward, these cardio classes will have to adapt to suit the new normal.

Rowbots signature class sees the class split in half, with clients alternating between a rowing machine and weighted exercises, all of which are shared with the other half of the class throughout. While it hasn't confirmed what changes it'll make on re-opening, it's likely it'll operate smaller classes to avoid equipment being shared in the same class.

Similarly, boxing classes where gloves were issued to attendees will need to be rethought. As a way of combating the issue of sharing equipment and minimising risks, many will likely decide to sell their equipment. 'We're going to sell 'fit kits' so that people have the choice to bring their own small equipment to the class,' confirmed a spokesperson for Frame.

Much like boxing and rowing, yoga requires equipment, and the sharing of mats will need to be rethought before any yoga classes re-open. Deep cleans of the room will need to be done prior to any new class and attendees arriving, so a less busy daily schedule will be needed to allow for this. As well as this, yoga and stretching requires lots of room, so any mats will need to be spread out to ensure social distancing can be maintaining, meaning less space available.As such, the availability of yoga classes will have less availability than before.

Our class capacity ranges from 8 to 37 depending on the studio, and were making plans to run at 50% capacity so that everyone can have their own marked out space, advised Frame. 'We are hoping to launch an open-air studio soon, too.'

Global Sports And Fitness Nutrition Foods and Drinks Market Size, Share, Growth Survey 2020 to 2026 and Industry Analysis Report - 3rd Watch News

In 2009 I was shown an app for my laptop computer that would sync with my bike computer, which collected heaps of information on every ride. Strava offers performance analytics that allows riders to compete virtually by comparing times and biometric data (distance, miles, speed, elevation ascent/descent, heart rate, power, and a topo map) that showed the exact route just ridden. Cyclists across the globe started using it for its tracking of progress. It is now a mainstay for almost every cyclist, runner, hiker, and now it tracks fitness classes. The app allows us, endurance enthusiasts, to learn how we stack up to our peers and see where and how hard our friends are going. The cell phone app allows you to track all your exercises without a fancy cycling computer or an expensive watch, Fitbit, or any number of fitness tracking devices. With over 42 million users, Strava has become the most widely used fitness apps for cyclists and runners. Is it the Facebook of fitness? The CEOs dont mind that comparison, but they strive to keep the core values in helping people stay fit and create community. Strava wasnt the first Social-fitness app, nor is it the largest. ASICs Runkeeper has 50 million users, and Under Armours three fitness apps MyFitnessPal, Endomondo and MapMyFitness have more than three times the users as Strava. But no brand is more closely associated with social fitness than Strava.

How it all began

Michael Horvath and his Harvard college rowing teammate, Mark Gainey, jumped into the fitness tracking software after their initial exercise app, Kana Software, didnt materialize. Strava (the word means strive in Horvaths native Swedish) was born in 2008. By the mid-2000s Facebook was practically on every cell phone on earth with oversharing mandatory, Google had mapped the world, and Global Positioning System (GPS) units and power meters were a requirement for every serious cyclist.

If its not on Strava, it didnt happen

Support Local JournalismDonate

This a common statement from many Strava users to a friend that didnt get their ride or run recorded. I remembered doing an epic mountain bike ride a few years ago and had forgotten to charge up my bike computer the night before. It lost power an hour into the ride. I had also left my cell phone at home. Therefore, that four-hour, 45-mile ride with 4,450 feet of climbing did not happen, according to my Strava friends. You only make that mistake once. I give and get Kudos to people that I follow on Strava. On any given day, you could get a dozen or more Kudos for a ride from followers on Strava. Its what you do on this app. We all like getting the attaboy after posting a ride. Those Kudos are essential and are where the science begins with Strava.

The research

Research has shown that Strava is onto something about the value of a social network for fitness and that it isnt only about comparing performance. Two studies published in 2015 and 2017 looked at how social feedback encourages users to increase their interaction on a given platform. The 2015 study collected activity data on 4,500 Strava users and found that social interactions (Kudos, Comments) spurred users to post more activities. The 2017 study, published in the journal Health Education and Behavior, went further, finding that activities posted on Strava were eight times more likely to receive some form of social feedback than a post on Twitter. Thats no surprise since Strava focuses on fitness, and people join Strava for that reason. The other social media apps have rather negative responses to people posting workouts or endurance activities. Just ask any professional or elite level athlete about their posts, and they often get negative feedback. Trolls tend to make snark remarks and insults to a persons post, and this type of activity has caused some serious emotional distress in many athletes. Strava doesnt seem to have an issue with this type of activity.

The healthy culture of Strava in a time of social distancing

Strava has gone from cult status for professional and elite level cyclists to mainstream, all with its vocabulary that is consistent. To Strava-cide, a ride means that you go off the planned route to capture a KOM or QOM (king/queen of the mountain). These terms have been used in professional cycling races like the Tour de France since 1903. Every famous climb is named and rated (category 4 (easiest) to category 1, which is 3000 5000 feet and then the above category, which is anything above 5000 feet). Anyone can name their ride, neighborhood loop, climb up their driveway or out and back ride to the park, and have them saved in Strava for all to see. Warning; once a post of a new segment or hill climb is seen on Strava, with you on the top of the leader board, expect to get knocked off and move into second place soon because one of your Strava followers will no doubt go get that KOM.

Stay fit, have some fun, and maybe compete with yourself or others and create a sense of camaraderie. If you like to ride, run, or hike, post it on Strava and see how much fun you can have. You will be amazed at how many people will give you kudos and help you to stay fit.

John Seivert: How an app is motivating people to maintain their fitness - The Union of Grass Valley

Removing 40 of the 48 heavy bags that hung from the rafters, mounting TVs and dividers to create two virtual training booths and scrubbing his studio by hand several times a day. Owner Jon Bish has gotten a workout preparing his Title Boxing Club in Sugarhouse to reopen in the midst of the COVID-19 outbreak.

But waiting to see if his clients will return is whats really making him sweat.

Since the COVID, initially everybody[s membership] was put on hold, Bish said. And it's kind of been a slow bleed of those holds turning into cancels.

Gyms and fitness centers statewide began to reopen in May after Utah Gov. Gary Herbert lightened coronavirus restrictions he had in place since mid-March. To comply with government regulations, they have cordoned off equipment, either with signs or actual rope, to try to keep people 6 feet apart. They have installed no-contact check-in stations and reservation systems for classes. Most dont allow members to use locker rooms, showers or even water fountains.

Those in Salt Lake City, Mexican Hat and Bluff, which remain in the orange phase level while the rest of the state has moved to yellow, face even more stringent guidelines. Some, like 24 Hour Fitness on East Ashton Avenue, have kept their doors closed. Others, like Title Boxing, located less than a mile away on 2100 East, have gone to great lengths to let members through their doors.

Bish said to comply with the 10-feet of separation required for gyms in cities in the orange phase, he has had to remove almost four-fifths of the 150-pound heavy bags that previously hung from the ceiling. Red tape stuck in a rectangle on the floor in the middle of the room contains instructors who used to freely roam the room. Additionally, he put some funds from a federal Paycheck Protection Program loan toward building two small stations and filming several sessions so customers could get a heavy-bag workout without attending a group class.

Yet all that work hasnt produced much payout thus far. Bish said in the three weeks the gym has been open, only about half of his clients have renewed their membership and only about a third are attending group classes.

There's just so many people that are, at least from what the numbers are telling us, aren't ready to come back, he said, especially into a group setting, which, again, is why we built those [stations], to try to hit that genre and say, Hey, here's another option for you.

Gyms are considered one of the places people are at the highest risk of catching COVID-19. During vigorous workouts, people breathe heavier and therefore emit more airborne secretions that travel farther than those from a person breathing normally. Plus, the exertion makes it uncomfortable to wear a mask. In addition, the classes are held indoors, where the secretions are less likely to be dissipated by the wind and where more common touch points exist.

In South Korea, researchers traced 112 cases of COVID-19 back to one four-hour Zumba class attended by 27 teachers, none of whom were displaying signs of the virus during the class. It should be noted, though, that yoga and pilates classes, which are typically less vigorous, taught at the same venue resulted in no known cases.

Those who have returned to their gyms say the rewards are worth whatever risks they face.

They give you a lot of freedom to feel as clean as you need to, said James Greene, 27, of Holladay, who returned to Planet Fitness in South Salt Lake within the first few days it opened. But at the same time you feel safe because you see them making the change and going out of their way to clean it.

Planet Fitness saw a steady stream of patrons coming and going during a 100-degree day Friday. Among them was Isaac Gowon, a 43-year-old tech support engineer who was signing up for a new membership. He said he got tired of waiting for his usual gym, 24 Hour Fitness, to open back up.

Just up the road, at least a hundred patrons sheltered from Saturdays rain at a recently reopened VASA Fitness center, where social distancing was hard to achieve despite signs marking benches and machines as off limits.

Danielle Hardy, 32, a self-proclaimed germaphobe from Holladay, said she tried online workouts during quarantine, but the professional wrestler could get motivated neither by those nor by running. She returned to Title Boxing the day after it opened but said she made her choice based less on her physical health than her mental health.

Its really helped my mental state, she said of the workouts, which center around hitting the heavy bags. For most of us, this is our sanctuary. Its part of our release and where we come to work on our problems or whatever is bothering us. Im so grateful its back.

For some gym members, its not the health risks but the downturn of the economy that will keep them from returning. For that reason, fitness centers across the country, both large and small, expect to feel some fallout from COVID-19.

That includes Planet Fitness, which has more than 1,800 locations. As CEO Chris Rondeau said in a March press release, The outbreak of COVID-19 in the U.S. has significantly disrupted our business as well as everyday life.

Bish said he feels fortunate to own what he called a boutique gym, which generally makes up for its smaller membership numbers with a stronger sense of community and loyalty. If most members take more than a year to return, he doesnt know what the gyms fate will be. But Bish said thanks to a flexible landlord, his government loans and those devoted customers, he believes Title Boxing can make it through at least to next spring.

And we're going to fight and claw and scream and do whatever we can to do that, he said. You do that because, emotionally, you feel like you have to, right? ... Just the importance of what it does for so many people, I'll do everything I can.

We feel like we have a punchers chance now.

Fitness centers began opening again when Utah went to 'Yellow' status, but members have been slow to return - Salt Lake Tribune

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) Minnesota is getting ready to turn the dial again in reopening the state.

Next up gyms. Gov. Tim Walz is loosening COVID-19 restrictions to allow fitness centers to reopen at 25% capacity on Wednesday.

When Life Time in Edina at Southdale reopens, check-ins will be touch free with an app. Staff will wear masks and be given temperature checks.

Masks are available for guests, but they are not required for workouts. The exception is the Life Time in Minneapolis where masks are required indoors in the city.

Ideally wearing a mask when they enter the club is something to do and the same thing when they leave the club, Edina Life Time director Shawn Severson said.

Its hard to miss the signage all over the health club, reminding guests to social distance. Every other machine will be turned off to allow for the six feet rule.

What were seeing at clubs at this time that are already open [in other states], theyre running about 50 to 60% of what it was prior to COVID, Severson said. So even though half the amount of treadmills are available, were seeing half the amount of usage.

Swimming, group fitness classes those are still happening, too.

Classes are all reservation based, Severson said, So well do that to maintain social distancing and it also allows us to ensure when that person shows up they have that spot for that class.

Enhanced cleaning will be happening around the clock, including at night when the club is closed. If there is a confirmed COVID-19 case, guests would be alerted and Life Time follows the direction of state health officials.

Life Time said it will still continue its on demand classes which are free to the public online.

Life Time has already reopened around 60 health clubs across the country.

How Your Workout Will Look Different As Fitness Centers Begin To Reopen Wednesday - CBS Minnesota

Juniper Swim & Fitness Center in Bend welcomed back guests Monday after being closed for more than two months because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

To maintain physical distance and allow for time in the day to sanitize the facility, the Bend Park & Recreation District established a reservation system to limit the number of people inside at one time.

This week, 430 reservations have been made for fitness classes and gym time, said Sue Glenn, the park districts recreation services manager

Some classes are already meeting capacity.

Its a real personal decision to come back, Glenn said. Weve missed everybody, and were psyched we have a strong reopening this week.

With Deschutes County getting the go-ahead to move into Phase 2 reopening, the district is now also working on reopening pools, which still remain closed.

Glenn said the plan is to restrict lap swimming to one person per lane, and have a one-way walking pattern to keep from crowding. As with fitness classes, people will have to reserve time in the pool online.

Before pools can open, the district has to hire back lifeguards who were laid off, finalize a plan for how to regulate open-swim sessions and make a decision on whether to open locker rooms for showering, Glenn said.

Monitoring capacity and figuring out how to sanitize in between showering is a challenge, Glenn said.

Glenn said more should be announced about opening pools at the end of the week.

A lot of dedicated swimmers have been waiting, she said.

Think about agility, and calisthenics, which uses ones own body weight, is what comes to mind. While most other exercises require the use of external equipment and gym memberships, calisthenics training is absolutely free. It all depends on what the practitioner wants to achieve in terms of fitness. Giving us proof of how core strength matters for taking on calisthenics is cricketer Harbhajan Singh. In a recent Instagram post, Singh can be seen performing a plank, a pose that requires core strength.

Take a look.

Much like weight-based training exercises, calisthenic exercises increase physical fitness with little or no additional equipment. Rather than using barbells, dumbbells, plates or machines, taking the body through different motions helps it to become ripped and stronger.

While for beginners, calisthenics are more about being able to build muscle strength with as many repetitions one is able to do over time, it is about increasing muscle endurance, which means how long a practitioner can maintain the pose.

When ones body weight is used as a resistance exercise, it helps improve functional fitness, an essential requirement for basic movements like push, pull, swing and jump. By building more endurance, a ripped physique, a much fitter frame is achievable.

In fact, calisthenics is equally about speed and strength. Besides, the body weight resistance exercise applies less pressure on the joints when compared to gym equipment like bar-bells. This means the joints are worked out without being prone to injury, provided the correct technique is practiced.

As per a study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, calisthenics exercises have the ability to combat weakness and frailty. Done regularly, these exercises build muscle strength and muscle mass and preserve bone density, independence, and vitality with age, it stated.

From being highly adaptive and customisable to helping improve coordination and flexibility, calisthenics is the way forward for working out just about anywhere.

Want a ripped physique? Take fitness inspiration from Harbhajan Singh - The Indian Express

Here together, in this safe space, in the intimacy of my home, she says, I hope you widen the aperture of whats possible for yourself. Thats what we do here. Thats what we do here. In Robins home, thats what we do.

Robins home is also, at the moment, a television studio that is broadcasting to a Peloton bike in my home. I ordered the device in March, when weeks of anxiety annealed into American lockdown. I am across the city from her. Both of us have cool plants next to our bikes. Were in 23,000 other peoples homes, around the world, too. And where else are we? Were at the gym.

Read: The fitness trend that is a mirror

If Robin had a class at the actual, regular gym and you stumbled into it without warning, youd never stumble out: The wattage would fry you. Teachers on the major fitness platforms are, as a rule, highly telegenic; theyre broadcast talent, and their charisma has to carry. But RobinRobin will get your heart beating three times a second, cackle, cue the tears (hers and yours), and be laughing again, all by the end of this Coldplay song. Thats what we do here.

Peloton has been very successful at putting expensive fitness hardware in peoples homes, and the pandemic has compounded that advantage, at least among those who can still afford both the hardware and the fitness. Sales were up 66 percent last quarter. To the extent that for so many years there was no competition, it was almost mind-boggling, Tom Cortese told me. He is the companys chief operating officer and one of its five founders, and lately his responsibilities have included shipping out the A/V equipment for emergency mini-studios to a handful of instructors so they can continue to teach new classes from their basement or living room.

Think about a swan, right? the running instructor Jess Sims, who is broadcasting Peloton classes from her studio apartment, explained to me. Above the water, the swan looks graceful and clear and calm and everything is beautiful. And then under the water, its going a mile a minutethe legs, theyre doing all these crazy things. And thats kind of my apartment.

At the other end of the production-value spectrum, theres Zoomall legs, no swan. In March, every yoga and Pilates instructor youve ever encountered, every dance teacher, every personal trainer, plus a great number of people who arent any of these but influence as if they were, made the jump to Zoom, to Instagram Live, to YouTube. This flourishing was a playful counterpoint to the surrounding catastrophe. One early-lockdown weekend, I took a free dance class from a teacher who seemed to be in a Scandinavian cabin. My friend Charlie had often told me about these classes in their live form, in a style called gaga, which is meant to rid the dancer of self-consciousness. There we were, dozens of us, swooping and whirling and leaping in little frames on everybodys laptop. It was ridiculous. It was the kind of thing you could get away with in the first fresh days of apocalypse.
