Work Out Online With Me + Honest Thoughts About COVID-19 from a Fitness Instructor
Hello everyone!
As you know, this is a really scary, crazy time. Coronavirus has affected society in so many ways. It’s spreading like wildfire - impacting and harming many. Beyond that, it’s also forcing us to wrestle like social distancing, self quarantine, and our own selfish nature (hoarding TP + Purell anyone??). It has forced many small businesses to voluntarily and temporarily close for the time being. Schools are closed. Restaurants in Boston are now “take out” only. Bars are closed. It is a lonely, scary, anxiety ridden time. I’m sure you feel it too. Agh.
As a fitness instructor, it also has been challenging. In both the financial sense and the “I am not working what the heck do I do with my life” sense. The studios I teach group fitness at are temporarily closed. Most of my private clients (rightfully!!) are choosing to stay away from private sessions - some opting for virtual privates, some option to take a break. To be honest, over the last few days I’ve felt a little lost. Everything I’ve worked really hard to build - class schedules, regular private clients, etc. feels like it’s fallen away with a snap of a finger (very Thanos-esque you know?). In light of all of this, I’ve been trying to see things in a positive light. I’ve been focusing on other essential aspects of my business - marketing, social media, getting other certifications, taking workshops, and sharing my services online. I’ve been focusing on my hobbies - working out, cooking, reading - and connecting with friends and family virtually. One huge, unexpected blessing, is that in my time poor marriage, my husband and I have been able to connect and see each more than we have in probably years.
Now, due to the fact that I had a little more time on my hands and I wasn’t able to teach all my regular group Pilates mat and Barre classes, I’ve created a way for you to work out online with me!
