We’re in a lock-down which means no unnecessary outings and absolutely no access to your favourite workout studio. Boooooooo. But home workouts have come along way since the days of Jane Fonda and there are so many ways to still get an effective workout at home. 

With many studios sadly having to close their doors for the foreseeable, we’re happy to report that lots have taken to social media and their online platforms to create access for their loyal followers to still train with their favourite instructors, all virtually.
