IF NOT going to the gym or missing your workout buddy is stressing you out, take your workout online with a virtual workout with Elevate Virtual Gym.

Gyms across Powys are one of the many businesses suffering through being forced to close during the current Wales and UK-wide lockdown that shows no sign of ending any time soon.

But just because your local gym or sports centre isn’t deemed an essential business, that doesn’t mean you can’t get your essential weekly exercises done.

The Llandrindod Wells-based gym for women is offering ladies the chance to try the classes, held over Zoom, for free with a seven-day trial.

The benefits of a virtual gym are endless. There’s plenty of variety, with so many different styles of classes to choose from.

There’s unlimited access to live streams, which means you can do as many classes as you want in a week.

All Classes are recorded so you don't have to worry about missing your favourite sessions. It also means you can check out the classes before you book on or gain confidence before joining a live stream.

The small groups and live streams mean your instructor can interact with you and keep you safe.

Grab your seven-day free trial virtual gym membership and download the Elevate app and the Zoom app to your phone, tablet or laptop. Visit Elevate at https://www.elevate-coaching.co.uk/copy-of-fitness-classes and nook yourself onto a class. You'll be emailed a Zoom link upon booking. Keep this handy as you'll need to use it to join each class. You can book on the website but the Elevate App makes it even easier.

Click the Zoom link from your confirmation email. This will take you through to class which is streamed right from the studio.

Connect or catch up and join the virtual gym group under the community tab. This is where you can connect with other members and access the class recordings.
