Staying Fit and Connected through FaceTime Workouts
The global fitness industry has been severely impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting isolation measures. However, in response to these challenges, some fitness centers have adapted by introducing innovative solutions to support their staff and members.
The closure of gyms in many countries not only affects the businesses but also has a significant impact on the physical and mental well-being of their members. Gyms often serve as communities and offer vital social interactions for many individuals.
Flow Athletic, a leading fitness and yoga studio in Sydney, Australia, has embraced the challenge by introducing FaceTime Personal Training and live stream classes to keep their community connected during these challenging times.

Benefits of FaceTime Fit as highlighted by Ben Lucas, the founder of Flow Athletic:
Personalization
While group classes are beneficial, some individuals prefer personalized attention from their trainers. FaceTime sessions allow for tailored workouts and one-on-one coaching, catering to individual needs and goals.
Social Connection
Amid physical distancing measures, maintaining social connections is essential for mental well-being. FaceTime sessions provide an opportunity for interaction, reducing feelings of isolation and fostering a sense of community among participants.
Health Benefits
With reduced opportunities for incidental exercise due to confinement, scheduling regular workouts becomes crucial. Engaging in physical activity through FaceTime Fit can help boost immunity and promote overall physical and mental strength during isolation.
Group Classes
Live streaming group classes, including strength training, yoga, Pilates, and spinning, allows members to continue participating in their favorite activities from the comfort of their homes. The interactive nature of these classes also enables members to stay connected and engaged with each other.
Support for Trainers
By opting for FaceTime sessions, individuals can provide much-needed support to fitness trainers who have been significantly impacted by the current situation, ensuring that they can continue their work while assisting others in maintaining their fitness routines.
