A staff member at an e-commerce website says, "Even with social distancing norms, it isn't safe to use gyms for at least a few months. So, we expect more people to order treadmills and cycles." Nitin Kumar, who works for a transport company, says, "I spent half of the lockdown watching fitness videos lying on my couch. I didn't exercise much as I didn't have weights. But now I've ordered them. Most of my friends and colleagues are also buying gym equipment as in a month or two, well have to go back to office."'Fitness equipment demand up by 60%'A Snapdeal spokesperson says, "The demand for fitness equipment in the last two months was nearly 60% more than the same time last year. The hot-selling equipment is priced under Rs 500. Exercise bands are popular due to their versatility and price, and sales of gym bags and bottles has significantly reduced as compared to pre-lockdown." Most of these orders come from NCR, Bangalore, Pune, Chennai and Mumbai. A Flipkart spokesperson says, "With social distancing being the new norm, consumers have turned home spaces into gyms.
