Work Out at Home: Local Gyms and Studios Offering Online Sessions

Just because we’re self-isolating doesn’t mean we want to sit in front of the couch and binge-watch television series after television series. There is currently an overwhelming demand for fitness equipment, from weights to yoga mats to lifecycles to treadmills. Some shops have had to temporarily shutter their online ordering as they can’t keep up with demand.

More and more of us are turning rooms into home gyms; here is a list of Edmonton trainers offering online classes, and ideas on where to get your gear. (Please check the websites or social media for any changes to online classes.)
