ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Will Group Fitness classes in San Antonio be a thing of the Past?
Gyms closures in Texas due to Covid-19
Covid-19 has changed the world. Many of us are trying to stay safe in these uncertain times. Unfortunately, the US Economy has been affected drastically. Several businesses and industries are going under. The fitness industry and specifically group fitness classes in San Antonio Texas seem to be disappearing.
Some have speculated that Gyms Could be going extinct. So, In this article I explain why I believe that’s will not go extinct. The article will be separated into 3 points, what is happening, what will happen, and why gyms will make a comeback. This article will also include my thoughts about the future group Fitness Classes in San Antonio Texas.
What is happening?
If you recall, back at the start of the Coronavirus business that was considered unessential were asked to shut down until further notice. In the state of Texas, gyms ended up staying closed for over 2 months. This led to various gyms, yoga studios, and places that offer group fitness classes in San Antonio having to go under and close for good.
In the meantime, a lot of people went out and bought fitness equipment so they could work out from home. Many people started subscribing to online workout platforms such as peloton or body pump so that they could workout from home. Celebrities such as Chris Even began posting free at-home workouts and many wondered why they had not just worked from home sooner.
What Will Happen?
While I think it is great that so many people started working out from home, I also believe the novelty is wearing off. In the beginning, there was this #weareinthistogether mentality that people had about working out from home. Many people had nothing to do at home, so they started a new workout routine. However, I don’t think that lasted very long.
For example, I offered online group fitness classes in San Antonio. At first, the classes were booming. I had new and old clients reaching to me to start working out from home, they wondered why they hadn’t tried online workout classes sooner. However, most of these clients lost interest in working out online once we re-opened in May because that point the novelty had worn off.
Why Gyms Will make a Comeback.
I have seen a lot of new articles discuss whether or not gyms are going to be able to bounce back from this bad economic situation. Some have pointed out that online training and home fitness equipment has become extremely profitable. However, there are several reasons why people go to the gym. At the top of that list is the need for people to get away from their homes.
I teach group fitness classes in San Antonio Texas and my clients always tell me how much they enjoy getting away from home. Many of them even tell me that they know they could work out at home but they don’t poses the willpower to do workouts at home. They tell me they don’t enjoy doing workout videos and that they will frequently just drop what their workouts because they are bored.
Most of us, and Include me in this, need a place to work out and get away from everyday life. The gym serves as that place. Studios that offer Group fitness in classes in San Antonio are a place that people go to socialize with others. I believe that this will never go out of style. Sure, some people are going to stick with online training but the majority will go back to their old training habits.
