At 5:15 p.m., Christine Moorman and her husband Ed Holub leave their home office areas, change into exercise clothes, unravel exercise mats in their living room and pull up a live virtual fitness class offered by Duke Recreation & Physical Education.

They pick from their favorite offerings: Pilates, kickboxing, high-intensity interval training.

Both of us sit for most of the day, so the classes are our signal that its the end of the workday and time to start moving, said Moorman, the T. Austin Finch Sr. Professor of Business Administration at the Duke Fuqua School of Business. The classes are our way to decompress together. Got Questions?

North Carolina is in Phase 2 of its reopening plan until at least Sept. 11, which keeps gyms and fitness centers closed, but Duke Recreation & Physical Education has found alternate ways to keep staff, faculty and students healthy and moving safely.

At Duke, the Taishoff Aquatics Pavilion will be open for limited hours to some Duke Recreation & Physical Education members, and you can still rent outdoor equipment. Duke Rec has created virtual fitness offerings and is offering a new digital membership, as well as limited in-person, outdoor programs that are on-site, like outdoor group fitness classes, to keep community members active while adhering to public health measures such as masking and physical distancing.

For us, its about providing healthy opportunities that are safe and accessible, said Felicia Tittle, executive director of Duke Recreation & Physical Education andphysical activity and movementco-convener forHealthy Duke. The overall health of our community is so vital. You cant have people be their best selves without resources for their physical and emotional well-being.

Here are some membership updates:

Since Wilson and Brodie closed in March, Duke Rec has provided reoccurring group fitness classes, at-home video workouts and weekly blog posts about recreational resources. Duke Rec & P.E.'s social media accounts also highlight at-home workout tips and ideas for staying active. Individuals can stay connected to the Duke Community beyond the gym through apps such asStrava.

For all of us, it was about the community and the connection, said Leigh Ann Garstecki, director of fitness and wellness for Duke Recreation & Physical Education. People are logging onto our classes because they want to be connected to the people they know.

The relationship with fitness instructors has kept Moorman and her husband participating in virtual exercise classes almost every day since March. The couple has been a member of Duke Recreation & Physical Education for five years and will continue with a virtual membership.

Overall, they are just world-class instructors, Moorman said. They are so enthusiastic and give a lot of exercise adaptions. We look forward to seeing them and we can tell they care about helping us. Its a little corny, but theyve become part of our daily life during the pandemic.
