Hard-hit industry prepares for reopening, as studio that went online even saw an increased membership.
Anytime Fitness clubs have already reopened abroad, like this one, with mandatory face masks and physical distancing.
Anytime Fitness, the largest gym chain in the Philippines, is among the few in the world to have reopened its doors successfully post-lockdown. Its gyms in Hong Kong, Macau Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Taiwan have been open for the last 30 or 45 days, he said. Thus far, no new coronavirus disease infection case has been reported in their gyms.
Armand Mendoza, instructor at Electric Studio, teaches from his house, complete with lighting effects. Used equipment, like dumbbells, are placed in the “used” bins and disinfected before being placed in the “clean” container.“Memberships in our big branches are over 1,000. There may be 1,400 people who are members, but on a daily usage, the big gyms see around 300, and our normal-sized gyms will see anywhere between 65 and 90 people throughout the day. So, it’s a manageable number,” Bolivar said.
It’s newest offering, Electric Studio Rhythm Boxing, also debuted online in March, giving viewers complimentary 30-minute shadowbox and floorwork exercises.“As soon as transportation was allowed to move, we quickly rented out our indoor cycling bikes and sold brand-new ones, so that our riders could enjoy the cycling classes they love and miss in the comfort of their own home,” Sy said.So, from a fitness studio, it branched out into a logistics studio.
