[Updated March 27, 2020]

Being off our routine and sheltering-in-place makes staying fit harder than ever.

But luckily, the closure of gyms and other fitness studios across Maryland earlier this week has led many fitness studios along the Route 1 corridor to get creative.

Yoga classes are going online. Fitness coaches are giving home workout instructions. And kickboxing instructors are posting videos.

In some cases, the courses are free. Others are charging small fees to help keep revenue coming in at a time when many on the corridor are staying at home.

Here’s a quick look at what local fitness studios are offering online.
