Gym Owner Struggles with Covid-19

Covid-19 has had a huge effect on our everyday lives. We have had to change our daily routines to follow all the restrictions. This means people can’t see their friends and family. As well, we've had to change our daily routines, including our exercise regimes.

Most people are used to going into the gym and being active, but with Covid, some people stopped exercising and being active. In the past 2 months, gyms and recreational sports have not been allowed in Winnipeg because of the high count of Covid cases. Some people maintained their health by working out at home.

But gym owners have found a way to help Winnipeggers stay active and fit. In this episode of In Focus by U Multicultural, Mark Aaron is interviewing the CEO and founder of DreamBootcamp Lendyll Soriano. He opened Dreambootcamp last year and it has been growing in popularity. But with Covid 19 it has been a rough time for Lendyll and his employees. When Covid hit first last March, they had to close the proximity between other people. During the summertime, they reopened up but they had to limit the participants going to workout and follow all Covid guidelines. But when the second wave they had to reclose their gym. And now, people who workout at any gym have to wear a mask and book a time slot.

Lendyll offered free zoom classes to his members and new members because he knows everyone is struggling right now with Covid and people losing jobs.
