DENVER Right off of I-25 in North Denver, a line of cars sat idling outside of a warehouse this week. One by one, the drivers pull up to a garage door and wait for warehouse employees to load heavy cardboard boxes into their cars.

Rep Fitness has been busy over the past few days trying to fill the orders of customers trying to get their hands on some workout equipment.

The company, which was started in 2012, is owned by two brothers, Ryan and Shane McGrotty. Their home gym supplies run the gambit from a few dollars to a few thousand depending on what youre looking for.

We all know Colorado is the fittest state in the country and so people really do enjoy coming into the store, Ryan McGrotty said.

The mad dash for home gym equipment started after Governor Jared Polis announced that he was forcing gyms across the state to close down.

Its been pretty crazy, said Ryan McGrotty. We basically had a nonstop line of cars in the back waiting to load up.

Balancing the new demand with the need to keep employees safe and healthy can be difficult for any company, as the state tells people to work from home and practice social distancing in the wake of the spread of the coronavirus.

Coronavirus in Colorado: Latest COVID-19 updates across the state

For now, Rep Fitness has some employees working from home, closed off its showroom to the public, is cleaning more frequently and even installed door kicks around the warehouse so employees wont have to use their hands as often to open doors. Its also not making customers sign off on their orders to minimize contact and bringing the orders right out to the clients car.

Its definitely a unique situation but we try to adapt. Our team has really been coming together to try to support the community, said Shane McGrotty.

The brothers say they are doing whatever they can to keep their business going and fill orders because they understand how important it is for people to be able to work out to keep their immune systems healthy.

However, exercise is also important for mental health, particularly during stressful times like the one we're all experiencing right now.

In order to kind of cope with that new stress and those changes, its a good idea to keep up with a healthy living routine through some sort of physical exercise, said Brian Gearity, the director of the Masters in the Arts Sports Coaching Program at the University of Denver. Theres more and more research studies looking at how physical exercise reduces anxiety and depression.

Gearity said hes never seen anything as wide-reaching as these closures, and its causing a lot of people to try to find other ways to stay active.

Not only are big gyms like Planet Fitness, 24 Hour Fitness and others closed down, but even apartments and neighborhoods are closing off access to their equipment.

Its pretty frustrating when youre trying to be active and fit and youre supposed to take care of yourself, but the options to take care of yourself are pretty limited right now, he said.

But as thousands of Coloradans face reduced work hours or layoffs, not everyone can afford to spend hundreds of dollars on new gym equipment.

Gearity worries that people facing financial hardship will not be able to take care of their physical health as easily as those with a more stable income.

Still, hes encouraging people to try to get 30 to 60 minutes of physical activity a day and to make sure that they are not overconsuming calories when they are working from home and anxious about everything thats happening.

The Denver-based Gibson Athletic/Rage Fitness, meanwhile, announced that it is giving away $70,000 worth of workout equipment at its Denver location Wednesday and Thursday to help people stay fit.

Online, there are hundreds of videos on everything from yoga to Zumba to cycling to give people ideas on how to get a good workout without breaking the bank.

Other activities like walking, hiking or climbing stairs are also good ways to get in some cardio without requiring expensive equipment.

However, some outdoor activities like the Manitou Incline have been temporarily closed due to coronavirus concerns.

Back at Rep Fitness, Shane McGrotty, said you dont have to spend a lot of money to stay active.

You dont need to have the best home gym or garage gym on the block to get a good workout in. Its just a matter of having a sandbag, a jump rope and a couple dumbbells and you can do a ton of workouts, he said.

In the end, Shane McGrotty, who majored in psychology, believes the most important thing for people to do is to stay motivated and keep moving for their physical and mental health.

During these times when theres a lot of anxiety going on and people are just anxious physical fitness at home really makes it so that your mental health is in a lot better position, he said.

Denver fitness companies working hard to keep up with demand after gyms forced to close down - The Denver Channel

While schools and other functions with large gatherings are shutting down over concerns of the spread of the COVID-19 virus, some fitness facilities in Columbus are staying open but with precautions and some limitations.

Total Fitness on the citys north side is posting pre-recorded workouts online that people can do at home. The gym is still open, but indoor cycling classes and drop-in daycare have been suspended.

Tipton Lakes Athletic Club on the citys west side is open, but has canceled all on-site classes, including tennis, fitness, Pilates and karate classes. All money transactions for the time being will be done by credit card only, with no cash.

Anytime Fitness on National Road also is open, but has stopped classes and is doing at-home virtual coaching.

"Were definitely following local health officials, whatever guidance they give us," Anytime Fitness owner Tim Arnold said. "We actually have reached out to them proactively and are communicating with them to make sure that were doing what we need to do as far as keeping our gym open vs. closing it."

Tipton Lakes general manager and tennis pro Mary Beth Wilson said the club is allowing tennis pros to provide private lessons and trainers to do personal training. All "Healthy U" classes, including yoga, is being done online. Tennis and pickleball courts are open, although pickleball is being limited to four people per court.

Wilson said someone on the staff is cleaning and sanitizing the gym and entire club every day. Tipton Lakes is providing wipes and spray bottles with cleaner and are asking members to wipe down their equipment before and after use.

"Our gym is pretty open, so its pretty easy for people to keep distances from each other," Wilson said. "Were asking people not to be on equipment next to each other. Were just asking people to wash things down after they use them."

Meanwhile, Total Fitness has posted guidelines on its Facebook page:

1. Wash your hands before, during and after your workout.

2. Bring a bath size towel with you to place over equipment during use to lessen your chances of contracting any illness.

3. Bring your own hand sanitizer with you.

4. Do not touch your face.

5. If you feel unwell, STAY HOME!

"Rest assured we do have chemicals that are used in cleaning that kill the virus as well as many other germs that are used multiple times per day," reads a statement on the Total Fitness Facebook page.

With Bartholomew County schools closed and spring sports practices canceled for at least another two weeks, the workout facilities are bracing for an influx of students and athletes when they return from spring break this weekend.

"We are trying to help our employees and our staff as much as possible," Wilson said. "As a community, were trying to support each other and get through this together."

Fitness facilities staying open - The Republic

If your spring marathon has now become an autumn marathon, you may be worried that your hard-earned fitness will now slip away. However, Lewis Moses of New Levels Coaching says that, with the right attitude and a little imagination, the coming months can help you to become an even better runner.

First off, respect the guidelines set out by Public Health England. Fortunately for runners, one of these guidelines is that we should stay active, so were in quite a privileged position. Staying fit and health for body and mind is essential. Right now, running is one thing you can control, so hold on to that.

Its about maintaining the work youve done without overdoing it. Its about continuing to work quite hard without putting yourself in a hole research suggests that over-training can suppress the immune system.

Keep the long run, but drop the volume of it. If you keep knocking out 20-22-mile runs, you risk overdoing things. If youre the type who does an interval session, a tempo run and a long run, consider dropping either the interval or tempo session. Think about doing just one tough workout a week, alongside easy running and a long run.

This is a good time to work on your weaknesses. During your marathon training, where werent you quite as strong as you hoped youd be? Did you pick up any niggles? Now is the perfect time to address those to come back stronger in the autumn.

When people have to rest, most find they come out of that period feeling better than when they went in. The evidence suggests you dont lose any fitness after a 10-day lay-off. People are getting anxious, understandably. But ask yourself this question: have you ever met anyone who became unfit by easy running? You will maintain fitness if youre running.

If we go into lockdown, you must adapt your training. Running conditions the heart and lungs, of course, but they dont know what type of exercise youre doing theyre just getting a workout. So you have to think about how you can work your heart and lungs, and there are loads of ways to do it from skipping to body-weight sessions. These other exercises will also benefit your muscles, bones and tendons.

If you were training for a spring marathon, you were going to taper into the marathon. Actually, you were going to have a very easy spell of training. In effect, you have just been forced into that a little earlier than you wanted.

If you manage to run regularly over the next few months, dont become obsessed with following your previous marathon schedule to the letter. About 12-16 weeks out, think about making your training more marathon-specific. When it comes to the long run, you don't have to go back to the beginning, either. Youve already trained your body to handle longer runs, and that training hasnt been lost.

How to maintain marathon fitness when your race has been postponed - Runner's World (UK)

Like many fitness centers, Swagler says his will adapt to the circumstances.

"I like to think our gym isn't closing," Swagler said. "We're just changing what it looks like."

The plan is to offer online workouts and to host off-site workouts in public areas limiting attendance to 9-10 people. Online workouts started posting Tuesday on the gym's YouTube channel. There are also plans to start a running group a few times a week, as well as various fitness challenges.

Members are communicating through an app called "Beyond the White Board."

On Tuesday, Swagler also invited members to stop by and borrow gym equipment to take home while the facility is unavailable.

"That's not something I think most places would offer," Swagler said. "We're trying to accommodate as much as possible to keep our business going, so we don't just close up and say, 'Nope, you're out of luck.' We want to keep our business moving in the right direction. It might just look a little different than it did a week ago."

The Auburn YMCA is also utilizing social media to connect with members. Nucerino and his staff have been in contact with other YMCAs around the country and in New York state, developing plans on how to approach the coming weeks or months.

On its website, Auburn has launched the Virtual Y page, which features links to YouTube for workout videos. There's also links to youth activities that parents can use to keep their children occupied.

'Get creative': Cayuga County fitness centers adjusting to closures - The Citizen

Planet Fitness (NYSE:PLNT) stands to have at least 10% of its revenue put at risk -- and probably a lot more -- now that the governors of New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut have ordered the closing of all gyms in the three states. The move was announced along with a larger array of pandemic-related measures that included restricting restaurants and bars to takeout, and limiting gatherings to 50 or fewer people.

Beginning at 8 p.m. Monday evening and continuing "until further notice," all gyms and fitness clubs in the tri-state area will close as the states attempt to limit the spread of the coronavirus.

Image source: Planet Fitness.

According to Planet Fitness annual report, of the company's 2,001 locations, 98 of them are corporate-owned, and 42 of those are located in New York and New Jersey (there are none in Connecticut).

Its company-owned locations generated $159.7 million in revenue in 2019 -- over 23% of its annual revenues of $688.8 million, meaning those 42 stores provided about 10% of total revenue. But the impact will obviously be a lot greater because franchised Planet Fitness locations are more concentrated in the tri-state area than in most other parts of the country, and those gyms will not be contributing any revenue either.

Worse, corporate-owned stores also account for a quarter of Planet Fitness earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, or some $65.6 million. meaning the gym operator will see substantial losses as a result of this closure order.

Planet Fitness stock was down by about 30% in late afternoon trading Monday.

With Governor Whitmers executive order, beginning Monday at 3 p.m. public institutions like restaurants, bars, movie theaters and fitness centers will be closed for at least two weeks. This is the latest in a series of moves by the government to increase social distancing due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

For local fitness centers, the move is forcing them to adjust on the fly. The Tri-Cities YMCA is taking the two weeks to shift their focus to helping the community virtually.

Local fitness centers adapting to latest government restrictions - Grand Haven Tribune

(WXYZ) Gym and fitness centers will be forced to temporarily close under a new executive order signed by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on Monday amid the COVID-19 outbreak.

Full coverage: Coronavirus outbreak in Michigan

The same executive order also will temporarily close theaters, bars, casinos and limit restaurants to carry-out and delivery.

Other things that will temporarily close include indoor sports facilities, recreations centers, exercise studios, spas and more. Similar measures have been implemented in Washington, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania.

The following places of public accommodation will be closed; restaurants, cafes, coffee houses, bars, taverns, brewpubs, distilleries, clubs, movie theaters, indoor and outdoor performance venues, gymnasiums, fitness centers, recreation centers, indoor sports facilities, indoor exercise facilities, exercise studios, spas, and casinos. Salons can stay open, but if a location is a salon and spa, the spa will still have to close.

This disease is a challenge unlike any weve experienced in our lifetimes, Whitmer said. Fighting it will cause significant but temporary changes to our daily lives. By practicing social distancing and taking aggressive action now, the state is working to mitigate the spread of coronavirus so we reduce the risk that our health care system becomes overwhelmed. This is about saving lives. Michiganders are tough and we are going to get through this, but it will require everyone doing their part. That means making smart choices and not putting yourself or others at risk by going out in public unless it is absolutely necessary.

We need to move quickly to slow the spread of the virus and protect public health, said Dr. Joneigh Khaldun. I realize these actions will present temporary changes to the way we live, but they are critical to help ensure our health care system is prepared to treat those who need the most urgent medical care.

This crisis will require business and labor working together to ensure that we are putting the best interests of Michiganders first in order to protect public health, said Jeff Donofrio, Director of the Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity. We understand that these decisions will impact the way we do business, but the decisions we make now will allow us to get our economy back on track sooner rather than later. We are putting measures in place to help protect the employers, employees, and individuals that will be impacted.

Patients with confirmed infection have reportedly had mild to severe respiratory illness with symptoms of:

Wilton restaurants and fitness centers adjust to new rules

WILTON From pizza to fine dining, Wilton restaurants will only be serving up takeout meals for the foreseeable future. And if youre looking to stay in shape, a local Pilates studio will be going online.

On Monday, Gov. Ned Lamont ordered the closing of all restaurants and bars in the state that serve food for eat-in customers.

Only take-out meals and food deliveries will be allowed, in an attempt to slow the spread of the coronavirus.

Bars that do not serve food were ordered to close immediately, with no schedule for reopening in the health crisis. Movie theaters, gyms, fitness centers and studios were ordered to close by 8 p.m.

A number of Wilton restaurants are offering a variety of takeout meals.

Wilton Pizza is offering takeout and if anyone wants curbside service, they will accommodate them. They also deliver.

Under the circumstances, Im relieved they are doing that. Theyve got to limit the spread [of the virus] and if that works Im OK. Its been quiet. Its definitely had an impact, said manager Alfredo LoPresti.

Cactus Rose in Wilton River Park said it is closing today, Tuesday and Wednesday and reopening Thursday for curb service.

Red Rooster Pub, 10 Center Street, is offering takeout service but with a shortened menu, according to owner Tony Ramadani. The shortened menu features Italian dishes, pasta, chicken, pizza, and salad. The plan is to serve daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. The hours could be adjusted in the future, Ramadani said.

Pinocchio Pizza, 1 Center Street, is offering its full menu for takeout, according to the owner, Frank Sadrija.

If you are in the mood for fine dining, The Schoolhouse at 34 Cannon Road, is offering a three-course takeout menu. Call 203-834-9816 for more information.

Bianco Rosso Wine Bar & Restaurant at 151 Old Ridgefield Road is closing for lunch, but will open at 4 p.m. for takeout. They are offering dinners for two, four or six people and are looking into the possibility of offering delivery service.

Tusk & Cup coffee shop at 142 Old Ridgefield Road will offer takeout service during regular business hours.

Not surprisingly, Wilton Restaurant Week which was scheduled for March 16 - March 22, offering diners fixed course meals, has been canceled.

We are canceling Restaurant Week but are encouraging the community to order takeout. Many of the restaurants are doing takeout, curbside pickup or delivery themselves or through a third party, said Camille Carriero of the Wilton Chamber of Commerce.

Area gyms were ordered to close.

I knew it was coming but Im very upset, not by the governors choice but upset it has come to this. I want to do whats best for the community and everybodys health, said Mary Beth Young, owner of The Pilates Advantage at 414 Olmstead Hill Road.

This is very stressful but of course Im happy to accommodate these steps for everyone. Im trying to pull together some online videos, I will get the instructors in the studio tomorrow and post them online, she said.

Information will be posted on her website explaining how people can access and pay for the videos.

My main message is, Im walking my walk of wellness and health by posting online so people can do some type of Pilates until we are back open and back to normal. Im a real advocate for health and wellness, she said.

Young said it's been stressful enough to run her own business and give 100 percent. With all of this Ive been spending money on sanitizers, wiping everything down 10 times more than normal, she said.

Anytime Fitness at 84 Danbury Road is also closed until further notice. Lets shut everything down and stay home. The sooner we do that and contain the virus, the sooner we can all re-open, said Cecelia Laskauskas, the gyms manager.

Wilton restaurants and fitness centers adjust to new rules - The Wilton Bulletin

Toronto, March 16, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Precision Nutrition, the worlds largest online nutrition and healthy lifestyle coaching and certification company is partnering with Renaissance Periodization, leaders of science-based nutrition and exercise, the Online Trainer Academy, the worlds first certification for online fitness and nutrition training, Trainerize, a client engagement mobile app for fitness professionals, and Girls Gone Strong, a global leader in womens health, fitness, and pre- and postnatal education to share their knowledge with professionals in the nutrition and fitness industry in an effort to help them navigate challenges resulting from COVID-19. As individuals are exercising social distancing, these companies have created new, free resources to help fitness professionals address concerns from their clients, and also evaluate the steps required to maintain a business remotely.

In recent weeks, our community has raised real concerns about how they will continue their livelihood in the midst of closing gyms and cancelling appointments. Precision Nutritions more than 20 years of experience coaching nutrition online, combined with the expertise and support of our partners has encouraged us to try to help nutrition and fitness professionals with the challenges presented by COVID-19, said Tim Jones, Precision Nutrition Chief Executive Officer. During these stressful times, we are proud to continue focusing our efforts on helping fitness professionals take care of themselves, so they may help others do the same.

An unprecedented, rapidly changing business environment has emerged and new, urgent client concerns are being faced by coaches and personal trainers. In response, Precision Nutrition, Renaissance Periodization, the Online Trainer Academy, Trainerize, and Girls Gone Strong have formed the Coalition of Health and Fitness Leaders (CHFL). This coalition aims to share their collective experience in coaching hundreds of thousands of clients with nutrition and fitness professionals navigating these challenges, as well as identifying opportunities to build more resilient business practices. These companies hope to help those coaches and trainers seeking additional support to move from fear, uncertainty, and confusion and towards empowerment, clarity, and productive action.

Dr. Spencer Nadolsky of Renaissance Periodization added, At times of worry, it is imperative that we evaluate our priorities to understand how we can have the largest impact on those who need it most. The creation of this coalition is the beginning of a unified movement within our industry to support the communities we serve.

The first initiative of the CHFL is a free digital panel discussion that will provide coaches with guidance on how to transition from in-person to online training and how to maintain and support their clients. Facilitated by Precision Nutritions director of curriculum, Krista Scott-Dixon, PhD, the panel of experts will include:

The panel discussion will be available on Thursday, March 19, 2020 at 1:00pm EST. Those interested in viewing the discussion can do so by clicking the following link at the aforementioned date and time: get.pn/CHFL-Expert-Panel-Discussion.

With quarantines imminent and a growing general fear surrounding crowds, fewer and fewer people are venturing outside and they definitely arent going to the gym, said Jonathan Goodman of the Online Trainer Academy. People who work in fitness are facing serious financial trouble. That, and its more important now than ever to keep our population healthy during this trying time. Effective remote training is paramount right now for fitness industry personnel and exercisers looking for ways to stay engaged with their fitness and training regimens.

Following the panel, complimentary resources will be made available with actionable next steps coaches can immediately take. This includes programming recommendations, answers to common client FAQs, and the latest medical information available.

The current situation we are all facing is uncharted territory in many ways, but I know we will all get through this and come out on the other side stronger for it. To do that though, we will need to collaborate as one unified community to raise each other up, share our knowledge, and use every tool available to us, said Sharad Mohan of Trainerize. Were proud to be part of the Coalition of Health and Fitness Leaders during this time when the industry now more than ever needs to work together.

To help extend the reach of these resources, the CHFL is looking for other companies and organizations within the larger health and fitness industry to join as partners of the Coalition. Those interested in exploring this opportunity are encouraged to reach out to partners@healthandfitnesscoalition.com to learn more and receive additional information.

"At Girls Gone Strong, we're proud to be working alongside Precision Nutrition, Renaissance Periodization, the Online Trainer Academy, and Trainerize as part of the Coalition of Health and Fitness Leaders. Together, we have a powerful opportunity to create a platform from which we can share evidence-based, practical, and compassionate information and concrete steps health and fitness professionals can use to navigate these uncertain times, said Molly Galbraith of Girls Gone Strong. We hope you accept this invitation to join us in our mission of getting this valuable information to as many professionals as possible."
