eteran athlete and fitness trainer, Litiana Miller did not stop working when the gyms closed.

However, she managed to start her zumba and all boot camp sessions online.

Online fitness training was something she always had an interest in and it was made possible through this coronaviru­s pandemic.

“We've just started our weekly zumba zoom sessions this week but I've been doing a few facebook livestream zumba prior to this,” she said.

“We managed to get a few of my past clients all over the world to tune in and dance with us. “I have always been interested in doing online fitness training as another option to serve those that have busy schedules and cannot make it to the gym.”

The online sessions has also helped other clients who lack the confidence to train with other people in gyms train within the comfort of their homes.

She has also made connection­s with her former clients who have moved overseas.

“There are also those that shy away or feel intimidate­d being in the gym with other people and prefer their own privacy at home,” Miller said.

“This has also given me the opportunit­y to reconnect with most of my clients overseas whom I've never heard from since they left our shores.

“On top of this I have a lot of expat clients who left Fiji and moved back to their countries but still want to be part of our fitness classes.

“Therefore during this lockdown period I saw the opportunit­y to make the online fitness sessions happen.

The health and wellbeing of her clients are paramount and the coronaviru­s pandemic has brought in new innovative ideas for her business.

“Just because gyms are closed doesn't mean you stop moving,” she said.

“Fitness instructor­s will go to any length to bring fitness to you because we care about your health and wellbeing.

“The coronaviru­s pandemic has opened up new avenues for my fitness business that I've never really tapped into before,” she added.
