    I just bought some new dumbbells and am waiting for them to arrive. Used to gym at a YMCA and am glad I learned how to gym before moving it all in house. I started last May 2019. Thanks for standing up for fitness. I get so much fitness inspiration on social media.

    I honestly think a lot of people will rethink their gym memberships when lockdown is over

    I’m not scheduling my workout in advance, COVID-19 checks and even have a time limit with a paid membership=screw that! That is more hassle than enjoyment. The motivation to go to a gym doesn’t appeal to me in these uncertain and frustrating times. We’ll all have to wait and see what post pandemic looks like for these environments.

    I think bodyweight calisthenic and yoga will be the trends in the future

    Beware. Gyms hire unlicensed trainers. I have a lifelong injury because of Gold’s Gym doing that.

    Nice post

    Dont you dare take gym out of my life. Home workout is for loosers



  8. Balde Aguirre on April 21, 2021 at 5:15 pm

    Afetr covid-19 I would never pay for another fitness class anymore.

    washing hands every time is another exercise of the wrists that the pandemic increased

    the pandemic will boost additional business models around the fitness industry (especially in the short term while people stay at home), but it will never change it to the degree this video portrays in the long term. People just don’t have all the weights and machinery required to really exercise in their houses so the industry will never change to that. Not only that, but even the most flexible and basic weights and machines are very costly and aren’t normally paid back until 4 years of usage compared to gym memberships.

    Rember all those work out tapes and dvd"s.Got a half a dozen of those laying around. Sorry you can’t compete against one’s self.

    Interesting topic. My tuffmudder gym has gone digital and I luv it. You dont need alot (gym mat, few sets of dumbbells) and a willingness to change and keep motivated. I honestly luv it and you dont realize how much time and gas driving to and from the gym. It has forever changed my view.



  13. K4R3N on April 21, 2021 at 5:25 pm

    Just need few more dumbbells and a flat bench and I will never step foot again in a gym again.

  15. GENETIC BEAST on April 21, 2021 at 5:31 pm

    Wow theres so many lazy people! Gotta make exercise videos!! 🙄🙄🙄🙄



  16. Akash on April 21, 2021 at 5:33 pm

    Most of the people will definitely avoid going to gym until vaccine is available to all. Maybe home gym equipments will start selling more.



  17. Toneti curiosin on April 21, 2021 at 5:35 pm

    no



  18. Scott Bryant Fitness Systems on April 21, 2021 at 5:35 pm

  22. Manav Mishra on April 21, 2021 at 5:47 pm

    There’s no comparison of outdoor workout..waiting lockdown to end..not enjoying workout at home!



  23. Redefine on April 21, 2021 at 5:49 pm

    You forgot to cover cure.fit India’s biggest fitness app



  24. James Eck on April 21, 2021 at 5:52 pm

    Woah first! Glad to see others gaining view for fitness. It’s motivational. I just started my channel and am gaining experience on attracting views too. It’s work and the path of a content creator.



  25. Steven Rasmussen on April 21, 2021 at 5:53 pm

    Forever = 8 months



  26. jrukawa11 on April 21, 2021 at 5:55 pm

    My current conclusion on quarantine:

    The best thing about a family: you are never alone
