Where there is a will there is a way.

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Coronavirus and pandemic caused by it affected many aspects of our lives. Places, which were the destinations of our daily visits, had to be closed in order to stop the virus from spreading. The government had to face a difficult choice which ones have to be shut down and which might remain open. As you can imagine there were people, who did not see any logical explanations of some of the new regulations.

As an example a lot of controversy had been created by the law saying that all gyms have to be closed. Why can churches,which are mostly visited by older people, stay opened, while gyms,  visited in majority by healthy people in their prime, must be closed down? Why do the doctors say that staying fit is one of the most important things one can do in order to protect him or herself from the virus, but the place essential for it is closed? These are only some of many questions asked by the gym lovers.

As you can imagine their sorrows did not change the decisions of the governments. Therefore many people quickly realized that the only possible way to stay fit, is to start exercising at home. Gym equipment, which may be used at home, was sold out in almost all internet websites and the praises of it started to increase rapidly. 

Luckily nowadays people do not have to invest their money into buying thousand or more dollars of gym-alike equipment. There exist companies, which let you borrow the machines you need for a fraction of their price and whenever you feel that you are done with using them you call the company and they pick it up from your doorstep.

A good example of a firm operating in such a way is hirefitness.co.uk. This is the biggest fitness equipment hire company in the world, which lets you rent stuff such as treadmills or steppers. 

Another fitness related sector, which experienced a huge boom during the pandemic are all sorts of fitness apps. They show how we should exercise correctly, which exercises we should perform in order to maximize the muscle gains and so on.


Many of them are owned by fitness influencers, who play a huge role when it comes to motivating millions of people all around the world and advertise those applications as something essential to achieve one’s fitness goals. 

According to the research conducted by Gympass in March of 2020 the number of global installs of such applications reached the level 67% higher than average, which is not a surprise, as 83% of the Americans declare that they will try to do virtual workouts during pandemic times. 

To conclude we can state that the pandemic limited our ability to stay fit and closing the gyms surely did not help. Although where there is the will there is a way and the numbers clearly show that.
