If one thing has become glaringly clear, it's the fact that coaching from a distance is the new normal—whether that means coaching from a safe 10 yards away in a park or coaching someone miles away in their home while you are in yours. The COVID-19 virus pandemic is resulting in voluntary—and in some cases, forced—gym closures. Our entire industry is being called to adapt and adapt quickly.

We've heard similar questions from thousands of personal trainers and gym owners: How do you serve your clients when they can't access your gym? How do you coach someone when you can't physically be there with them? How do you weather the storm without potentially losing your business?
