As the current pandemic hit, fitness studios and gyms had to close their doors. So what do you do now? Well, instead of shutting down completely, luckily all of your favorite fitness studios have found a way to make you sweat virtually. All you have to do is open up your Instagram and start live-streaming to bring the best fitness classes in town into the comfort of your own home!

In today’s blog, we’ve rounded up some of the best group fitness studio classes you’d normally take in person but can live-stream now for free. Let’s take a look at them now!

Barry’s Bootcamp Live

Barry’s Bootcamp holds live workouts twice a day, seven days a week on the brand’s Instagram account (@barrys). Their workouts are perfect for those days when your schedule is a bit tighter or you don’t feel like exercising for hours. It’s a short and sweet workout that lasts only 20 minutes, but can really get you sweating. Each class is led by a different Barry’s instructor from around the country. So looking at the bright side of quarantine: you can take classes from instructors that you might have never been able to otherwise. And what’s even better, it’s completely free of charge.

Their first class of the day is at 9 am (PST)/12pm (EST) and is a bodyweight workout. This means that you need no equipment at all, only your body, which will be moved from head to toe. The second class is at 12 pm (PST)/3pm (EST) and is a “band class”, meaning that you will need either a short “booty band” or a long “resistance band”. Depending on which band you use, the class will have a different body part at the center of attention. With the booty band, you are going to focus on your lower body, while the resistance band means upper-body.

The brand of the bands doesn’t really matter, but if you’re still looking for them, you can get the “Band Together Fit Kit” that includes all the essentials you might need for one of these live classes.

All of Rumble’s classes can be adjusted to fit different experience levels – “if you can move, you can Rumble.” Normally Rumble classes run about $35/class, but during the COVID-19 quarantine period, Rumble is also hosting equipment-free cardio and bodyweight workouts that range between 30-45 minutes via daily Instagram Live videos. Led by fun trainers, you are guaranteed to experience the usual high-energy of Rumble classes even across this online platform.

They offer cardio-based workout classes with a special boxing twist. Each day there is a different variation of the class on the menu, including Abs & Butt, Full Body, and Cardio Burn. They start most of their classes with a “boxing 1o1” where you can quickly pick up all the basic punching skills you need. Then a mix of strength training and conditioning will help you kick and punch your calorie burn and sweat your stress away. Classes are offered at different times each day so check their timetable to see which times fit your schedule. And also, make sure you keep an eye on their Instagram for occasional special guests on those live workouts, such as Jason Derulo!

SoulCycle Off The Bike

You might find it more difficult to stay motivated to exercise and stay fit during the lock-down than before. But don’t worry, this is absolutely normal and we also have a remedy for it. It’s called the “SoulCycle Off The Bike” series. As most of you probably know SoulCycle is an indoor cycling company with studios all over the U.S. that offer synchronized group spinning classes. While during regular times, you would be sweating on one of their bikes, during quarantine they got off the bike for us and their instructors started holding bodyweight workouts online.

They run live-stream classes 6 days a week that you can join in for free on the instructors’ private Instagram account. You can check out their weekly schedule on the SoulCycle website. As SoulCycle is famous for making classes fun, you are guaranteed to get a motivation boost by joining.
