Planet Fitness Inc. PLNT, +2.17% stock jumped 8.8% in Tuesday trading after the company's latest business update shows gym-goers are returning to recently reopened locations. Planet Fitness said in a filing that 800 gyms across 30 states were operating as of June 1 with another 200 expected to be open by the middle of the month. At gyms that are back in business, membership levels and visits are consistent with last year. Planet Fitness is cleaning its locations more often, has implemented touchless check-in and some equipment has been marked "out of order" to promote social distancing. "We are encouraged by both the pace and performance of reopenings, and believe Planet Fitness stands to benefit from largely maintaining its prior operating/service model while other concepts have had to more meaningfully adapt," wrote Baird analysts led by Jonathan Komp. Baird rates Planet Fitness stock outperform with a $65 price target. Planet Fitness is scheduled to speak at Baird's Global Consumer, Technology & Services conference, which is scheduled for today. Planet Fitness shares have slipped 1.7% for the year to date while the S&P 500 index SPX, +2.62% has fallen 5.2% for the period.

TEMPLE, Texas The COVID-19 pandemic put a stop to many people's wellness routines when it shut down gyms across the country. Now that they're back open, many people have tried to get back to normal. In this weeks Your Best Life, 6 News Anchor Leslie Draffin spoke with a fitness instructor about ways to ease this transition.

"Well, for me, personally, I had to go through a grieving process. You know the gym was immediately shut down we didn't really know what was happening we knew it was unprecedented," Temple fitness instructor Susan Cornette said.

Cornette helps people get fit for a living. But when COVID-19 shut down gyms, even she took a break from working out.

"I did not work out for probably three weeks straight. I think we were all just sort of in shock," Cornette said.

During the shelter in place order, gyms like Truecore, where Cornette works, went virtual to help their clients stay active.

"It was great to be able to keep in touch with my clients my personal training clients and a few friends of mine from the gym," Cornette said.

But, Cornette admits it was hard getting motivated to workout online.

It was very hard. I couldn't see their positions. I wasn't there to truly motivate, I was but I wasn't. We ended up doing a lot of chit-chat, and not a lot of working out," she said.

So, when Truecore and other Central Texas gyms reopened two weeks ago, Cornette said, "The people who've decided to jump back in, they are jumping back in with a vengeance. They're here every day."

In this new age of wellness, Cornette has learned a whole new routine, and it has a lot to do with cleaning.

"It's becoming second nature for me to stay six feet apart. It's becoming second nature for me to go back behind everyone and clean the equipment which I never did. I cleaned my equipment, and I asked them to clean theirs. But I never went behind them to do it," Cornette said.

She has also filled her schedule with small group personal training where two to four people split the cost of a session and can still stay socially distant while getting more attention than in a class setting.

"There can also be encouragement from one another that really feeds off each other and motivate the whole group at one time, they can get a little competitive which can be really good," she said.

But if you aren't ready to hit the gym again, or if you're back to working out but aren't feeling like yourself, Cornette said that's okay.

"There seems to be a lot of guilt. They're bringing in the door with them because they haven't worked out in two months and they ate all the banana bread, and they did all the things and they feel bad about themselves. And so, I am having to cheerlead them out of their rut and kind of prove to them this that they didn't lose too much of the strength they had built up when we got shut down like we are right back in it. It may take a couple weeks, but give yourself some grace. We're back at it now and we're all kind of in the same boat. We're all super sore this week. It's going to be fine. It'll be fine," Cornette said

Forgotten Coast Fitness and Wellness Center re-opens - Apalachicola Times

DILLON A week after the Breckenridge Recreation Center announced it hopes to reopen with a reservation system in mid-June, the Silverthorne Recreation Center and other smaller, private Summit County fitness centers on Tuesday elaborated on their reopening plans ahead of anticipated state action later this week.

Over in Silverthorne, Recreation & Culture Director Joanne Cook said the town rec centers reopening is contingent upon the county entering into phase two of its Roadmap to Recovery. Under phase two, the county stipulates recreation and fitness centers can reopen with strict physical distancing measures and precautions with maximum gathering sizes of 10-50 people. To reach phase two, the county must have no significant increase in cases for four to eight weeks.

When the county enters that stage of its reopening, Cook said the rec center could reopen two to three days later. She added that Silverthorne has its sights on the week of Monday, June 15, as a possibility.

Behind the scenes, we are preparing and anticipating that once the county moves into phase two, we want to have the facility prepared to offer services safely and responsibly and with reduced contact wherever possible, Cook said. Once we are notified the county has moved to phase two, we will do everything we can to open our doors as soon as possible.

Support Local JournalismDonate

Cook said planned hours are 7 a.m. through 7 p.m. Mondays through Fridays with a midday cleaning break from 1-3 p.m. The current plan would permit passholders ages 15 and older while remaining closed to day users, she said. The rec centers large gathering spaces, such as the gymnasium, would remain closed.

Silverthorne plans to use the SignUpGenius app for passholders to reserve 45-minute time slots, with a maximum of 60 people in the center at one time. Cook also said workout equipment will be spaced out in the facility, including in areas usually reserved for other things, to distance users.

As of Tuesday, Cook said face masks would be required indoors at all times, including during exercise. Cook said that could change if a proposed statewide indoor-recreation plan is updated after members of the public submit feedback this week. The deadline to do that is noon Wednesday, June 3.

There is a guideline in there that people should wear (facial coverings) as much as possible as long as they are comfortable to do so, Cook said about the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environments draft proposal. So we are keeping close tabs on that regulation. If and when that comes out from the state, as long as the county doesnt make something stricter, it is a possibility people will be able to recreate without them. We know thats a concern for some of our members, so if we are able to loosen restrictions safely and still meet county guidelines, we will.

That state department of health guidance for personal recreation will go into effect Thursday, June 4.

As currently written, the amended order would expand the number of recreationists in groups indoors from three to 10. That bump would be a major boon for smaller local fitness centers, such as CrossFit Breckenridge and Peak Yoga in Dillon.

At Peak Yoga, owner Pinna Gallant said her business has been able to surf the financial wave of closure thanks to virtual classes, but that the past couple of months have been a struggle in many way since closing March 15. Peak Yoga reopened its doors to in-person service Monday, June 1, but only with one morning session with a maximum of three people. If the state health departments draft is approved Thursday and the county doesnt decide on more stringent rules, Gallant would be able to host eight customers in a class at once, which would go a long way to meeting demand.

If she does need to get even more creative to reach her community and strengthen her business, she said she is in discussions with the town of Dillon about using the Dillon Amphitheater as an outdoor venue for larger classes. Shes willing to do whatever it takes to reopen safely and strengthen the studio after Peak Yoga lost half of its monthly revenue since the start of the pandemic.

At Peak Yoga, once recreationists got to their mats they were not required to wear facial coverings. Facial coverings during exercise is a talking point in the fitness community.

At CrossFit Breckenridge, owner Dan Messinger said the fitness center on Airport Road has been open since May 1 because the activity is classified as a personal service. Classes, he said, have been pretty similar to normal with slight tweaks to avoid clients using the same equipment. The shops ability to move equipment outside also has helped, though until now hes only been able to max out classes at three people.

Come Thursday, hes hoping that can bump up to 10 to meet the increased demand hes seen for his business while helping the CrossFit community to see more of one another again. As long as athletes are maintaining a 6-foot distance, CrossFit Breckenridge has not been mandating a facial covering.

And if they changed that guideline, we wouldnt open, Messinger said. I dont think its safe for people to do safe workouts with masks on.

Messinger credited his landlord for helping him through the early shutdown, saying if the two werent able to work together, he wouldnt have made it through.

Long-term viability is also something Mary Scheifley, the owner of Peak One Fitness in Frisco, is gauging. After she lost 15% of her members early in the shutdown, shes deciding whether reopening is best for her. For now, shes taking a wait-and-see approach for her business while watching how the town centers reopen before she finalizes a plan shes already crafted.

I have a smaller group base, and I know it can definitely be managed, she said.

Anil Kapoor shared this image. (courtesy: anilskapoor)

At the age of 63, Anil Kapoor is considered to be one of the fittest actors in Bollywood and there's absolutely no denying that. On Friday, the actor shared pictures from his home work out session on Instagram, along with a detailed note about his fitness regime. Anil Kapoor talked about how the lockdown brought out best in him, on the fitness front and wrote: "I was never into weightlifting nor did I take rest days so seriously but this lockdown has definitely been a learning curve for me in many ways and this is one of them.

In his post, Anil Kapoor wrote about the importance of "unwinding" and revealed that he takes a day off from his high-intensity workout sessions. He wrote: "It's not all about being locked in the dungeon of my gym, hitting reps after reps day after day. We must take time to let the body rest. When we hit weights we create stress on the body on the muscles from that forced stress the muscle rebuilds itself making it stronger. Rest days are important that's why I take one whole day off. A day when I relax and enjoy the fruits of a disciplined week. On that day I do all the important things that help me unwind."

The Bollywood veteran signed off the post, saying, "For we cannot forget a training plan is long term and the body needs its reward. I let my body take it easy because I know from the next day I am gonna make it work like crazy till the next rest day comes round. It's a perfect balance of faith, patience and perseverance."

Check out Anil Kapoor's post here:

Earlier this year, Anil Kapoor's 33-year-old daughter and Rhea Kapoor shared pictures of him working out at home. She captioned the post: "Ugh! Parents. Always throwing their biceps in your face, am I right? Meanwhile, I am googling biryani recipes. And that, my friends, is what we call balance. #hes63 #proudofhim #stillgonnanaptho."

Anil Kapoor was last seen Mohit Suri's crime-thriller Malang, co-starring Disha Patani and Aditya Roy Kapur. He will next be seen in Mumbai Saga, alongside John Abraham.

Fitness centres in Sooke are taking high precautions as they reopen for public use.

Ellen Connor, owner of Sooke Boxing Club, said she reopened on June 1, allowing 10 people in the gym at a time.

Connor rearranged the gym, hanging punching bags spread out around the space, and outlined where each person should stand during a class. The club has increased cleaning measures, and participants receive a spray bottle to sanitize anything they touch during class.

Things are weird, laughed Connor. But we dont have any other choice.

There will be no partner drills, and everyone will remain at their own punching bag to ensure physical distancing. The club is also not renting out gear, so people are expected to bring their own equipment.

Its been challenging but doable. I am just glad to have everyone back in, and to feel some sense of normalcy in these abnormal times, said Connor.

Sooke 24 Hour Health and Fitness also reopened on June 1, with reduced capacity and customers booking ahead of time for their workout. The club also increased staffed hours, has organized the gym to ensure physical distancing, and has provided personal spray bottles for cleaning equipment.

For more information on booking your spot email info@sookefitness.com or call 250-642-7111.

Otter Point Athletics began holding classes again on June 1, following the guidelines of provincial health authorities.

Customers are expected to enter through the rear garage door only. A walkway outlines where people should stand before entering the gym, and those attending classes are asked not to show up too early.

Those entering a class will be first met by a coach and asked if they, or anyone they have been in contact with, are feeling any flu-like symptoms in the last two weeks, or if they, or anyone they know, have been travelling in the last 14 days.

If you have been, be honest, and you are going to be asked to go home, said owner Rick Read in a YouTube video. We dont want to have to close the gym again.

Increased sanitation measures are implemented between every class, and the gym has been mapped out in to individual stations which everyone will stay within during the entire class. Customers are also expected to disinfect equipment they use.

The gym is not accepting new members for the time being, and bathroom access is restricted.

Manushi Chhillar on fitness being a way of life

Ever since Manushi Chhillar has gone on to win the Miss World 2017 title, the Indian beauty has had the limelight follow her everywhere. Soon to be making her Bollywood debut alongside Akshay Kumar in the much-awaited historical drama Prithviraj, Manushi Chhillar has also been the face of many endorsements. She was recently named the brand ambassador for Adidas, joining in team members like Ranveer Singh, Rohit Sharma, Hima Das and over 20 other top athletes and youth icons who have been redefining India's sporting and fitness culture.

A fitness enthusiast, Manushi Chhillar hopes to inspire more women to embrace fitness, and create a positive social impact through the power of sport. Commenting on her fitness routine, Manushi said, "My fitness regime is holistic - focused on a balanced lifestyle, sleep, food, thoughts, plays an important role because fitness and health are not just about physical well-being but your mental, emotional and physiological well-being as well. Being fit is important in these unprecedented times and I would encourage all my fans to take out time to be fit and healthy."

"Fitness has been a part of my life since childhood. My parents are doctors and because of that I've had a holistic upbringing. They were mindful about what kind of food came home and always encouraged me to participate in sports. Being a science student, sports was a stress buster for me. It still is. If I have had a long shoot day, I try to play a sport and I feel so much better," revealed Manushi.

"Both physical and mental health are crucial. It has to be part of your lifestyle. Fitness can never be a hobby. I found my space - I love running - and people need to find their own to stay in the best of health. Lack of physical activity causes stress and therefore fitness needs to be a way of life," she added.

For Manushi, running has been her favourite mode of fitness

"I have been following guided workouts through training and running apps. I am used to indoor exercises, thanks to my work for which I often travelled from one country to the other. I would workout in my hotel room. Now, being home, I do my workouts plus spend time cleaning and organising to stay active. Thankfully, I have my father staying with me, and that keeps me mentally happy," said Manushi.

Amidst COVID-19 lockdown, when thousands are looking for inspiration, Adidas has started #HOMETEAMHERO Challenge. It not only inspires people to stay physically and mentally fit every single day, but also supports the WHO COVID19 Response Fund. The brand will be donating $1 for every hour of fitness activity clocked on their app till June 7.

"Your discipline has to come from within. You need to spend a few hours daily for fitness. It's best to maintain a journal. Write down your goals, be it weight loss, building stamina or core strength. Every day record your achievements and you will soon start realising your achievements from one day to the other. When you realise you did better than yesterday, you will find your motivation for today," she advised.

"My fitness gear is all about comfort. Even when not working out, I love being in my gym shorts or tights. Now, I have also been adding in a lot of colours to my gear - from t-shirts to shoes."

Self-belief. As cliche as it may sound, but it works. Whenever you face a situation, ask yourself two things: am I going to play victim or do I want to make the most of the situation? You would always want to make the most of the situation and you will find that door of opportunity. It's all in the head. The minute you start seeing things differently, the situation changes," she adds.

"When I landed back in India after winning the crown, it was almost 30 minutes past midnight. I didn't expect a crowd but there were people from all over to welcome me at the airport. I really enjoyed the chaos. Seeing everyone come out to support and cheer for me made me realise that I am part of such a big family. There were so many peoplehappy for me and that was a great feeling," said Manushi.

So are you motivated to get your fitness game on?

Its been a challenge to stick with an exercise routine, let alone start one over the last several weeks. Plus, with gyms closed, mostpeople have had to find new ways to stay in shape during the pandemic.

Thats why Formative Fitness in Traverse City, which specializes in personal training, is finding a silver lining despite their studio

being closed. Their founder and personal trainer, Sebastian Garbsch has been continuing to work with clients through Zoom or Facetime. He says its a way to help people realize the health benefits of physical activity, and creates a personalized routine.

For Garbsch, his own life experiences have transformed the reasons why he focuses on exercise and wants to help others realize the long-term benefits. His father died from a heart attack when Garbsch was growing up and it sparked a passion within himself to start exercising on a regular basis and ultimately help others do the same.

With the Zoom and Facetime workouts, Garbsch and other trainers with Formative Fitness have been able to connect with people beyond northern Michigan and say its actually more of a benefit in the long run. Theyre looking forward to being able to work one-on-one with people in the studio but until then, the virtual workouts provide another connection for health and wellness.
