These 7 Fitness Studios Are Offering Free Classes, So You Can Workout at Home

As the emails fill up your inbox from Equinox, Row House, Soul Cycle, Tracy Anderson and your favorite workout studios and local gyms letting you know that they're temporarily closed due to the coronavirus outbreak, you might ask yourself "How am I suppose to get my body in shape for summer?" For some, this period of quarantine presents an opportunity to get yourself in the best shape, especially if you now have lots of free time on your hands.

Instead of sitting slumped on your couch with your feet up on the ottoman watching Love Is Blind, you can lay on your floor and do sit-ups and pushups and feel a lot more productive. Better yet, many exercise companies are offering free or discounted workout classes online to the public or their members so that you can sweat it out while you wait it out. And yes, we recognize the struggles of feeling motivated when your entire daily routine of waking up early, hitting the gym and getting to the office is completely turned on its head and you're required to stay home. It's like you have now become the CEO of your home gym, office, and kitchen.

Use this time to work harder, be healthier, eat clean, exercise, learn something new and spend time with your loved ones. We're all in the same scenario of remotely connecting with loved ones and co-workers over Skype to communicate and trying to figure out why the heck we didn't learn to cook before quarantine when at-home delivery isn't a possibility for everyone. When you find downtime, instead of binge-watching Netflix, lay down the yoga mat, pull out the hand and ankle weights you thought you would never use, and turn on an online workout class you can do in your basement or living room. Here's a list of classes you can take for free online:

TA is a full-body workout that includes dancing as cardio, leg lifts targeting for toning your glutes, and arm workouts with small hand weights so you'll feel the burn.

Find some space and grab small weights and set up the videos on your TV or laptop to follow along with Tracy as she takes you through a series of leg, glutes, abs and arms workouts. If you don't have weights, you can do the exercises and still feel the burn because she does several reps of each move.

Three days ago, Tracy Anderson posted on her Instagram that she will be filming content to upload to her website so you can enjoy two free weeks of toning up, muscle building, and feeling fit. Tracys says, "If you are self-isolating, like me, everyone gets two weeks free at tracyanderson.com". Take advantage of this promotion because her online classes are usually $90 a month. I took a class the atTAin Definition class this morning and now I feel great. Click here to get started.
