WKTV - With gyms closed across the state due to the fall-out of the coronavirus pandemic, local fitness centers are getting creative to keep their clients fit and their business operating.

Two of those local gyms, Body By Design Group Fitness in New Hartford, and The Fitness Mill in New York Mills, are among those offering free online classes for at least the remainder of the month.

"As a business owner you have to do what you need to do to keep on surviving so we're adapting based on the circumstances," said Body By Design owner and Creative Director, Jennifer Venezio. "[We're] offering our complete schedule right now electronically, which is giving people an opportunity to work out with us from the privacy of their own homes."

Their classes are at no cost to clients and non-clients, as well, and have already gotten underway. Body By Design is live streaming them through a service called Zoom, a platform for online webinars.

Likewise, The Fitness Mill is offering virtual workouts three days a week through their Facebook and Instagram pages.

They will be streamed live at noon on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, but will remain available to view following the live stream as well.

"So many of our members are teachers that have kids," said The Fitness Mill owner, Alex Carbone. "We understand getting up at five in the morning and getting your workout is really a tough thing to do right now. So we're offering it at noon, taping it, and you can watch it throughout the day."

Carbone also said that they will be having multiple instructors post additional content to their social media pages regarding nutrition and other fitness tips.

During this unusual time, these classes are just one of the many ways people locally can keep fit.

"Whether it's playing with your kids, getting outside if it's nice enough, maybe climbing those stairs, there's nothing like the feeling of fresh air and of sunshine," said Venezio. "Certainly I hope that's going to be a wonderful supplement to these virtual classes or these virtual classes will be a supplement to your outdoor workouts."

MUNCIE, Ind. Many have had to abandon their usual routines in recent days as, among other things, some local fitness centers have temporarily closed their doors amid coronavirus concerns.

The YMCA of Muncie branches, Muncie CrossFit at The Arsenal and each of Ball States recreational and sports facilities are all closed until further notice. Planet Fitness local location is in a similar situation. And so, too, are The Corner Mat and Lotus Wellness Center yoga studios.

But just because these locations arent available to those in the area doesnt mean people dont have options when it comes to remaining active. Whether its through online options such as virtual classes, or even Cardinal Greenways, there are still ways to keep exercising.

The YMCA of Muncie will still be a resource for those lookingto exercise. Its president and CEO, Chad Zaucha, committed to that Wednesday in an online letter posted to the organizations website and elsewhere.

During the time we are closed, we are committed to sharing opportunities with you to stay connected, active and healthy, Zauchas message read, in part. We are providing access to Les Mills and MOSSA now, and in the next few days, we will keep you connected with more workouts, live Facebook classes, virtual programs, preschool lessons and more.

And along with the Mitchell Early Childhood and Family Center, the YMCA of Muncies Northwest location will also offer emergency child care to those serving as first-responders, medical personnel and other necessary workers.

Both The Corner Mat and Lotus Wellness Center made the decision this week to move their yoga classes online. The Lotus Wellness Center started holding them virtually Wednesday, while The Corner Mat did the same Thursday.

We deeply care about The Corner Mat community. We hope you will continue to choose to rest, reset, and recharge with us, a Facebook post Monday, signed by TCM owners Debbie Gant and Karynn Adamowicz and their instructors, read in part. Cultivate calm within. The world needs it right now. (And lets face it, we need YOU right now.)

On the Lotus Wellness and Yoga Studio page on Facebook, a post Tuesday read in part: We will miss seeing everyone and sharing our sweet little yoga space with you!! This is going to be tough, but we are happy to be living in a time with the ability to keep our community feel and yoga practice going with online options.

This organization announced Tuesday the Cardinal Greenway would delay until further notice the start of its free loaner bike program and placement of porta pots at our trailheads, according to a release on its website. Both were set to begin around April 1, and in addition to this move the organization headquarters at the Muncie Depot is also closed indefinitely. But nothing has been announced about closing the Cardinal Greenway trail itself.

CEOAngie Pool told The Star Press in an email the trail is open, as there is no way to close it, but "the Greenway doesn't assume any liability for trail users utilizing the trail." Pool alsoencouraged everyone to followCenters for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines and recommendations on social distancing and hygiene, explained the trail is large enough most should be able to practice safe social distancing and detailed the delays and closure instituted are ways the organization is addressing this situation.

We will continue to monitor developments and follow appropriate guidance on beginning both these services for 2020 and reopening the Depot, Cardinal Greenways announcement Tuesday read, in part. We regret any inconvenience these actions may cause but are doing so with the safety of our communities in mind.

Owner and coach BJ McKay announced on his organizations website that group training at The Arsenal would cease for the time being after the joint disaster emergency declaration was enacted Thursday by Delaware County and the City of Muncie. Its the same reason Ball State made the decision it did with its recreational and sports facilities. But McKay also included three options for his organizations members to continue to train.

Your coaching staff has been working hard to ensure you are getting value out of your investment in The Arsenal and Muncie Crossfit, McKays post read, in part. These are unprecedented circumstances and we have brainstormed our best effort to keep you fit in your own home or 1:1 during this quarantine scenario.

The first option is training with virtual classes, which Muncie Crossfit started Friday. The second option is receiving private, one-on-one coaching at The Arsenal. The third option is switching to in-home individual or family coaching.

The future came fast for Priscilla Freed.

The owner of Camp MissFits, a women's fitness center in Littleton, started her first virtual workouts March 17 in a new space large enough to accommodate a growing clientele.

Basically, overnight, we went online, Freed said.

Two days in, Freed's temporary normal amid the COVID-19 pandemic felt routine. A group of 20 followed along on a web-based video meeting as Freed and coach Jess Gerard led a workout. Viewing each little square on the monitor, Gerard doesn't fail to shout corrections to her clients. With a staff of four, they're determined to keep their clients healthy through the internet.

We've been working a lot of extra hours, but this is our business. We need to save our business and we need to help our clients get through this, Freed said. I've been stressed. It's been stressful. But I've also felt grateful. Every morning, I wake up and thank God that we still have a business, that our clients love us and appreciate everything we're doing.

As concerns about COVID-19 grew, Gov. Jared Polis on March 16 ordered all gyms to be closed to the public.

Freed, who launched her business in 2006, moved into her new space at 1500 W. Littleton Blvd. in January. Freed had done some virtual workouts, selectively, but nothing to the extent they currently have.

It went from two years to two days, Freed said.

The studio was equipped with a sound system. With the help from her husband/IT specialist Robert Thompson, they scrambled to assemble the proper equipment.

We're still working out the kinks but eventually the experience on the screen will ideally be as close as what they could get here, Thompson said.

Striking a balance between the gym's mission to be personalized is a challenge, Freed said. But they found ways to make it work.

We want them to really feel how much we love them, Freed said. Everyone is stressed. Everyone is not happy with the changes, obviously.

Freed said people appreciate their communities, their gym-mates and coaches, and their routines now more than ever.

It's not that we need to save our business," Freed said "We need to save them their health, routines, their stress levels."

A new report published by Yelp shows the changing interests of US consumers during the novel coronavirus pandemic. It paints a rather bleak portrait of local economies being driven by fear and restlessness, and a society in withdrawal.

Americans are increasingly focused on survival in this period of uncertainty. Interest in guns and ammunition is up 360 percent, according to Yelps data, while interest in buying water is up 166 percent, and groceries is up 160 percent. Restaurant closures have created an uptick in food delivery interest (up 59 percent) as youd expect, as well as people looking for ways to buy direct from farmers (up 405 percent).

And you know what goes great with guns? Alcohol. Interest in buying Bud and booze is up 63 percent, according to Yelp.

Gym closures have led to a 344 percent increase in interest in home fitness equipment, according to Yelps data. That jibes with the New York Times reporting a back-to-basics exercise boom that has more people running. Its also good news for companies like Peloton which makes connected home gyms for people fortunate enough to maintain an income while sheltering at home.

Similarly, interest in hiking is up 116 percent, while interest in local parks is up 53 percent, as both allow people to be outdoors while maintaining good social distancing.

Yelp is reporting a declining interest in restaurants (down 54 percent) and nightlife activities in general (down 69 percent). Interest in bridal stores is down 53 percent as weddings now endanger your family in addition to your savings.

Yelps report is limited to the US market, where its particularly popular in part due to its tight integration with Apple Maps. The platforms analysis is based on data gathered between March 8 and March 18th, with interest measured by counting the many actions people take to connect with businesses on Yelp, such as viewing their business page or posting reviews.

The trends certainly ring true for anyone on Earth currently living inside the grip of the escalating pandemic.

With retail stores, gyms, and studios across the country currently closing their doors to slow the spread of the coronavirus, several companies in the running and fitness industries are stepping up to support their employees and others affected by the pandemic.

Some businesses, such as Brooks and Lululemon, have promised to pay their retail workers full compensation while the retail stores have closed. Others, including Nike and Under Armour, have pledged to donate money to support coronavirus response efforts.

Its important to note that large companies are perhaps better suited than smaller ones to weather the financial loss of temporarily closing their stores. Many smaller operationsincluding local running stores, fitness studios, and event organizersare struggling to stay afloat without customer foot traffic or races to pull in revenue at this time. Here are some ideas on how to support your local running community.

During this uncertain and isolating period, lifting each other up is of utmost importance. Here, were highlighting a few of the generous ways that companies in the running, fitness, and recreation industries are responding to the coronavirus outbreak.

Were keeping an eye on how other companies are supporting COVID-19 relief efforts and will update this list when possible. Also, please tell us in the comments if you know of a company assisting its employees and the greater community during this time.

The coronavirus spread is a rapidly developing situation. For the most up-to-date information, check resources like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and World Health Organization (WHO) regularly. This story will be updated as new information becomes available.

When fitness streaming service Ob launched in March 2018, the idea was to bring boutique classes like boxing, pilates and HIIT to the comfort of peoples homes. Not only was the offering intended to be convenient, but at $27 a month for a subscription, it was a comparatively inexpensive option. A single SoulCycle class sans shoes is $34. A Barrys Bootcamp class in New York is $38. Despite the ease of use and price, Ob could not have anticipated the unprecedented traction it would experience due to COVID-19.

The company has seen steady growth since its inception averaging about a 30% membership increase per month but as people across the country have become more concerned about coronavirus, signups spiked. Between February and March, Ob saw a membership uptick of 300%, said co-founder and co-CEO Mark Mullett. Rather than price-gouge prospective users, on March 11 Ob began offering a free month to customers as they were acclimating to their new norm of working out from home.

Its a scary time. We are heartbroken for our brick-and-mortar friends, but we are trying to do the right thing, the best we know how, said Mullett. We are spreading good health and acting as an outlet for people who are alone or tense or scared.

In many ways Ob, like Peloton and Mirror, was better prepared for social distancing compared to its IRL counterparts. After a series of changes to its schedule, Barrys closed its U.S. locations and began offering free workouts on its Instagram channel just this week. Buzzy New York studio Forward Space also started hosting free digital dance parties as its single location is tentatively closed at least until March 28.

And whats happening in the fitness segment is also being mirrored in the beauty services space, which like the restaurant industry has taken a major employee hit so much so that nascent beauty app Mira started a $10,000 initial relief fund to support makeup artists and beauty professionals who are out of work because of coronavirus. New York-based facialist Sofie Pavitt began offering $100 consultations via FaceTime while she was pregnant in summer 2019, but after seeing an unusual amount of in-office cancellations due to COVID-19 last week, she knew she had to find a new way to meet with clients. Her studio closed on Monday.

I knew I had to pivot. I was messaging clients and making sure to keep in very close contact with them, like I would in the studio, said Pavitt. Beyond pure communication, Pavitt has been shipping customers whatever products she suggests following their respective FaceTime consultations.

It broadened my horizons of who I can talk to, said Pavitt, who also started doing live guided facial tutorials on her Instagram channel. The first experiment, on Instagram Live on March 15, saw more than 10% of her 7,285 followers tune in. Moreover, 36 virtual consultations were booked as a result. Pavitt will continue to do guided facials on Instagram Live every Sunday.

By doing this, Pavitt has seen an uptick of non-New York clientele finding her via Instagram. Obe, too, has also seen its client split of 40% coastal and 60% middle of the country shift more squarely to 50% each, thanks to social media.

Likewise, Ob has expanded beyond its free month of classes. On Monday, it partnered with Kidz Bop to license music for new childrens workouts, and on Friday it debuted its first set of five workouts for senior citizens.

Instead of the Cuban shuffle, were doing the Kidz Bop shuffle, because its hard to be cooped up inside all day for both the parents and the kids, said Ob co-founder and co-CEO Ashley Mills.

The ability to quickly pivot during this coronavirus climate makes Ob and Pavitts efforts stand out. Other beauty businesses havent been able to translate their respective in-person services to virtual animations quite yet. Heydays stores remain closed as do the services offered at Sephora or Ulta, due to their own temporary closures. Similarly, Barrys and Forward Spaces businesses were built on experiential fitness and community, not at-home ease still they are trying. But in a way, agility is what Ob and Pavitt are banking on.

I am in charge, and were still not a huge company, so we can be very flexible, said Pavitt. Instead of saying, Weve got to do it this way because weve always done it this way, we say, Lets move. Being small is an advantage right now.

The Air Force and the Navy have already made decisions to postpone annual fitness tests to help stem the rising spread of COVID-19. The Navy also recently relaxed hair length grooming standards to help sailors maintain proper social distancing.

The Marine Corps has yet to follow suit with other services branches despite rising cases of COVID-19 theres currently no Corps-wide plan to postpone annual training requirements or to allow Marines to grow longer hair.

The Marine Corps is not currently considering a service-wide policy to cancel or codify the postponement of annual training requirements," Capt. Joseph Butterfield, a Marine spokesman told Marine Corps Times.

Butterfield also said the Corps is not aware of any changes to Marine Corps grooming standards or the delaying of promotion boards.

Individual commands are authorized to temporarily postpone scheduled training events for their own units as they deem necessary, Butterfield said.

However, a Marine official told Marine Corps times that the situation regarding COVID-19 remains fluid and changes could be on the horizon.

But 2nd Marine Air Wing is already taking action by postponing a number of annual training requirements.

According to a briefing slide obtained by Marine Corps Times, an order from 2D MAW has postponed the following: No PFT fitness test, rifle range, pistol range, gas chamber, Marine Corps water survival training or martial arts training.

2nd MAW understands the importance of preventing the spread of COVID-19. We dont make any of these decisions lightly. All of the measures that have been put in place throughout 2nd MAW have been implemented in order to prevent the potential spread of COVID-19, Maj. Binford Strickland, a 2nd MAW spokesman said.

But the Corps decentralized and less stringent approach to handling COVID-19 raises questions whether it is doing enough to reduce the risk of spreading the virus.

Other services have quickly adjusted training, moved annual requirements and relaxed grooming standards.

The Corps on the other hand, has placed the authority into the hands of individual commanders. There is concern that could expose military and civilian populations to the virus over a Gung-Ho! attitude to carry on with training despite warnings and known risks announced daily by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization.

Thousands of Marines are in Yuma, Arizona, for a seven-week air and ground integration training that the top Marine has deemed mission essential despite the rapidly spreading COVID-19 virus.

The air and ground coordination training officially kicked off March 8 and is slated to run through April 26. But the conclusion of training falls in the middle of a Defense Department domestic travel ban implemented March 16 to stem the tide of COVID-19.

Like anything else the Marine Corps does, it has to do it, its own way. Theres the right way, the wrong way, and then there is the Marine Corps way, former Marine Sgt. Elliot Jackson, told Marine Corps Times.

A Marine gunnery sergeant who spoke to Marine Corps Times on condition on anonymity said he doesnt see a logical reason why the Corps shouldnt relax grooming standards.

The gunny said the Corps and the Navy relaxed grooming standards on the Whidbey Island-class dock landing ship McHenry in 2019 during a breakout of the mumps.

We relaxed hair grooming regs while quarantined on ship to prevent the spread of mumps, he said.

In 2019, more than a dozen Marines and sailors aboard McHenry were diagnosed with viral parotitis, which can cause symptoms close to the mumps, Navy Times reported. The ship was stuck out to sea for several months under quarantine.

As the commandant recently stated, commanders and leaders at all levels are to act with the preservation of their force at the forefront of their decision-making, Butterfield said.

BOZEMAN The coronavirus has had an impact on everyone, from schools to businesses to even your local gym. With gyms shutting down across Montana, what are they doing to make sure customers are keeping up with their physical fitness?

A lot of people that put a lot of time into the gym, its a really big bummer having to take a week or two off, but its not like youre going to lose everything, but you might lose a little bit of strength and whatnot," said Fuel Fitness personal trainer Chase Hoyer.

Fitness centers and personal trainers are having to get creative in helping their clients stay active. They are making home workouts, online group fitness classes and more.

I've been offering home workouts," said Erin Kempt, who is a Fuel Fitness personal trainer. "I either write them for people to do themselves at home, or Im happy to go to their house or have them come to my house and do workouts for them. Ive also been offering social distancing workouts outside.

There are plenty of ways to keep up with your health goals while quarantined, such as eating right and staying active.

Stay as active as you can, in times like this it might be a little bit tougher, but as long as you can get something in, something is always better than nothing," Hoyer said.

It's not always a bad thing to take some time off from lifting weights and hopping on machines.

People are probably benefiting from it, their bodies could probably use a break," Kempt said. "Then they can start back up from where they left.

On the bright side, gyms will be cleaner than ever when customers return.

"Hopefully this will kind of instill in people they should be wiping things down a little more often than not, said Hoyer. "If youre looking to stay active and not lose that hard-earned muscle, sporting goods stores are getting increased shipments of home fitness equipment."

"The only foot traffic thats really coming in are people looking for weights and exercise machines. We have everything -- dumbbells, Olympic plates, barbells, treadmills, ellipticals," said Play It Again Sports employee John Acheson.

The federal government is working on a third stimulus package that would aid specific industries that have been affected by the spread of the coronavirus, and IHRSA, the trade association for commercial club operators, is lobbying for health clubs, gyms, studios and fitness industry suppliers to be included.

IHRSA sent a letter to leaders of both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate sharing that the 39,750 U.S. health clubs and studios are vital to the economy, serving 64 million consumers, generating $32.3 billion in annual revenue, and employing more than 425,000 people.

Despite these impressive numbers, many clubs and studios are in fact small businesses, disproportionately impacted by the disruption COVID-19 is causing to the economy, the letter, signed by IHRSA President and CEO Joe Moore, reads.

The letter states: As front line providers, it is also crucial that clubs and their suppliers need to be up and running and providing valuable services when the world returns to normal.

Moore shared that exercise can improve immune health and improve respiratory health, both of which are important to fight COVID-19.

The letter goes on to say: Now is not the time for America to lose one of its best preventative tools for reducing the impact of viruses and diseases such as Coronavirus 19. It is vitally important to the health of our nation that we maintain a strong health club and fitness industry, they are on the front lines of improving Americas physical and fiscal health. It is for these reasons that health clubs, studios and fitness industry suppliers must be included in any COVID-19 economic relief package.

As soon as Congress began working on economic relief packages for businesses and industries impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, IHRSA and IHRSA board members began working with the associations Washington, D.C.-based lobbyists.

IHRSA is urging the fitness industry to join its lobbying efforts by going hereand contacting their members of Congress.

As of March 19, Congress has worked on three stimulus packages due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The first package was signed by President Trump on March 6, providing $8.3 billion to combat the spread of the coronavirus through medical research and testing.

The second package was passed by both houses of Congress this week and is expected to be signed by the president. This phase, which is estimated to cost $100 billion, will provide two weeks of paid sick and family leave, increased unemployment insurance benefits, increase funding for Medicaid and food security programs as well as free coronavirus testing for people who are uninsured.

The third stimulus package is to address industries and small businesses impacted by business disruption from the coronavirus.

According to a Politico article, the proposal for the third stimulus package currently includes creation of a small business interruption loan program as well as $50 billion in help for the airline industry and $150 billion for other distressed sectors of the economy.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said that the Senate will remain in Washington, D.C., until the third stimulus package is passed.
