Missing the gym? Check out these online shops selling fitness gear and get "quarantoned" in the safety of your own home
As more guidelines detailing the presumed shift from Enhanced Community Quarantine to General Community Quarantine emerge, certain businesses—whether they are permitted to operate at full capacity or at 50 per cent—are preparing to get back on track. Unfortunately for the exercise buffs, gym and fitness boutiques are to remain closed indefinitely, as establishments of such nature posit health hazards that may aggravate the current situation.
Being someone who used to spend a significant amount of time in fitness studios, I too am one of those scrounging around on the internet for equipment to use at home. I’ve purchased weights, resistance bands, and even my own spinning bike—because some things we can’t just live without—but some friends have gone the extra mile, building their own full home gym bit by glorious iron bit.
Interested in following suit and keeping "quarantoned”? Here are some online stores accepting orders for fitness equipment.
