Americans consume almost 5,000 calories per person on Thanksgiving, according to ABC News. Although gyms are not advised to close under the guidelines from the Department of Health and Human Services, there is a ban on group exercising. As a result, some local gyms have switched to a virtual approach to staying in shape. We identified a few top trainers in Detroit who are safely and innovatively helping people stick to their fitness goals during the pandemic:

Each one of these trainers are not only keen on kicking unhealthy habits but also encouraging their clients to be healthy and inspired in every area of their life, especially amidst the pandemic. According to mayoclinic.com “Exercise in almost any form can act as a stress reliever. Being active can boost your feel-good endorphins and distract you from daily worries.” With virtual training, you can still invite others to participate in a joint workout via zoom and/or other video streaming services. We encourage you to use these options to stay home and stay healthy!
