People across the country are doing their best to find ways to stay occupied while social distancing. While it’s tempting to bake all the cakes and cupcakes and plop on the couch to watch Netflix (no shame if that’s your game though), we must admit this situation presents a good time to continue working on your fitness or discover that working out is a great way to make the time pass more quickly.

California’s shelter-in-place order doesn’t list gyms as essential businesses, forcing fitness studios and their instructors to turn to virtual classes. Working out through these studios’ online courses is a great way to keep healthy, connect with others online (many are live), and support a local business at the same time.

We’ve compiled a list of Bay Area studios offering workout classes online. If you own a gym or are an instructor offering virtual classes, add your information in the comments section and/or tag us on Twitter or Instagram.
