Safe outdoor fitness has taken on a new meaning in this COVID-19 world.
Prior the 2020 pandemic, it was a fun add-on, an extra option to get members outdoors. Now, in many clubs and studios it’s become a must. Amina Daniels, the owner of Live Cycle Delight in Detroit, Michigan, is one of those studios that falls under safe outdoor fitness being a necessity.
In this episode of the Club Solutions Magazine podcast, host Rachel Zabonick-Chonko chatted with Daniels on how the studio is running outdoor classes. They go over the check-in process, getting member buy-in with COVID-19 regulations and more.
