BODYWEIGHT WORKOUTS

➡ Of course, if you can’t find dumbbells at a reasonable price, one option is to work out without them. Barry’s Bootcamp is offering online classes with standard weights, resistance bands, or just bodyweight for at-home customers with different preferences and different setups. Peloton also offers bodyweight strength classes to subscribers. And if you’ve spent time this summer in New York City parks, you’ve probably seen some people hauling their kettlebells with them, while others opt for doing burpees and push-ups in the grass. “I was always a bodyweight/calisthenics kind of person,” said Alex Dropo, a freelance personal trainer who added that he’s had success moving his clients online because their workouts can be done outside a gym. Other benefits of the pandemic for his business: no time spent commuting to meet clients and fewer clients who want to work out at 6 a.m. before going to the office.
