Comments Off on Best Local Virtual Workouts in Columbus to Get the New Year Started Right

Does recent holiday overindulgence have you starting to think about kick-starting your workout routine for the new year? Whether you’re regretting how all those extra slices of pie have your pants fitting a little more snugly or just want to get healthier, making a commitment to working out is always a great New Year’s Resolution. 

It can be especially hard to stay motivated to getting fit during a pandemic when many gyms are either closed or don’t feel as safe as they used to. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of Columbus-based gyms and trainers that are offering virtual workouts. Check them out so that you can be the best version of you in 2021!

One local organization offering live virtual classes is The Jewish Community Center of Greater Columbus. Check out their schedule here -the virtual classes will be streamed via Facebook live.

Fitness Loft Columbus

One consistent throughout this pandemic has been that nothing is consistent.
