As fitness-conscious New York emerges from the pandemic, many residents are hitting the gym to get back in shape, but without putting too much pressure on themselves after the psychological stresses of the past 15 months.

“It made me depressed and my anxiety was sky high. I had no motivation whatsoever,” said Thuman, who lives in Maryland. The studio has offered Zoom classes throughout the pandemic but people “crave that human-to-human contact,” Tamir added. Many specialists warn against stigmatizing weight gain, particularly at a time when people are still feeling extremely fragile psychologically.
But for Thuman, she said she had “a little bit of motivation” to lose weight as the pandemic dragged on, after separating from her husband.
