Nebojša Arčaba and his partner Susanna switched their business model to online training after boot camps and group work outs became a no-go zone.
The couple offer clients free online classes and instructions encouraging them to keep healthy while respecting government COVID-19 guidelines.
Nebojša says that, though it wasn't their first choice, he'd rather see both trainers and clients protected.
"Many of our clients have switched over to the online format and are following on from home, so it's not impossible," says Nebojša. "The important part is that we are sticking together and still providing that daily routine many are used to".
Susanna says trainers and clients are lucky the pandemic didn't hit 50 years ago given how easy it is to still stay in touch.
"I am always saying that during these unique times, we are so fortunate to have access to the internet and technology. If this had happened 50 years ago, I'm not so sure business in health and nutrition would survive, let alone thrive, during times like this."
Susanna says that the challenge hasn't been keeping clients rather the technical aspect of it all.
"Transitioning to online is something we have never done before so there are challenges," admits Susanna but says that, "it's not a decline in business but more the technical side of things. Choosing the appropriate platform, sound, music, making sure we have good connectivity."
Health and exercise experts are reminding people that daily exercise is important and still do-able in isolation.
In Australia, home work outs or walks and runs outside are still allowed, but social distancing rules apply.
No more than 2 people can gather at any time and a distance of 1.5 metres needs to be maintained.
In the UK, a 73-year-old British man has become a hit on social media for his lockdown-friendly workout videos.
Rajinder Sing, otherwise known as the ‘Skipping Sikh’, wants to inspire people, especially older citizens, to keep healthy and fit during the coronavirus pandemic.
"I'm not an expert but if you do five minutes skipping honestly it's like running three kilometres. Just skipping inside your house or in your garden. You don't even need trainers, just a rope," he told CNN.
Nebojša and Susanna agree that lockdown is no excuse for laziness.
"I am excited for the next period, for our clients and our communities," says Susanna. "Our clients have access to multiple weekly workouts, wellness workshops, information session and all our coaches at the touch of their fingertips, literally."
