For a decade, Choice Health and Fitness has been a place for Grand Forks residents to stay active and healthy. Now, even as the coronavirus pandemic has restricted its use, the fitness center is continuing to provide activities to the community.

Due to social distancing precautions, Choice suspended all fitness classes and closed the workout facilities. However, Fitness Manager Chris Langei and General Manager Mike Orr wanted to continue to provide workouts for the community via a Facebook page and the Choice website.

The wide variety of classes currently being offered on Facebook include sport yoga, Zumba, home workouts and live Facebook classes such as an "Ultimate Cardio" class. To support everyone in the community, Choice has made the videos available to everyone.

"Anyone can participate, and our goal is to help them stay active and give them resources, said Langei.

In addition to its Facebook classes, Choice is offering a strength and conditioning program on the Choice website for high school athletes who want to continue to reach their fitness and sport goals at home. The gym is working to get all of its online classes on the website in addition to Facebook.

As we navigate through the new normal, we understand that a lot of people dont have access to Facebook, Langei said.

For class participants, online classes are providing a virtual connection for those at home, including trainers.

I think the big thing is trying to engage our members and stay in touch with them while they are not able to come in and use our facility, Orr said.

Many are finding themselves missing the time before the COVID-19 outbreak.

We are looking forward to the time when we can get people back in the gym, said Orr.

For now, Choice is continuing to support Grand Forks residents by trying to maintain that personal touch, albeit on videos instead of in-person.

That is the culture here, said Langei. We are family. Everyone wants to be there for each other during this difficult time.
