Current Restrictions for Group Fitness in Denver
The COVID restrictions in Denver County are currently at the Orange level (High Risk). This means gyms are allowing 25% capacity and even less if participating in a group fitness class or small group personal training. All open gyms are taking the necessary precautions to keep their business open and safe for everyone who visits. These may include measures like having every other piece of equipment open to ensure a safe distance, hourly deep-cleaning, and making masks mandatory throughout the duration of the workout.
However, it is important to note that current COVID restrictions are still subject to change in the Denver metro area. If the current level of protection changes to the Red or Purple levels, gyms may be forced to close their doors once more and group exercise may become discouraged again. At least for now, group workouts are still considered to be safe (if they follow local regulations).
Some Safe Options for Group Training
One of the best things about group fitness in Denver is that you can decide how many people you want to participate with. If you are scheduling a group personal training session with a fitness coach, you can decide how many people you feel comfortable exercising with (up to the restricted limit, of course). So, if you are planning a session with a trainer and some friends in a studio indoors, you can ensure all of you are safe during your workout.
Luckily, group training can take place anywhere! If you have 10 friends who want to join in, a local park is a great option for everyone to break a sweat and stay socially distanced. Here are a few examples of great group workouts that you can do in the gym, outdoors, or anywhere else!
HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) - This is a circuit workout and will make you feel amazing! It typically consists of 3-4 rounds of 5 exercises for 30 seconds to 1 minute each. This type of workout can be done with or without weights, so it can be done anywhere!
Cardio Training - Whether your cardio of choice is running, walking, biking, or playing sports, it’s great to grab some friends and do it together!
Yoga/Pilates - These forms of exercise can be done individually or with some friends. Just grab a mat and go to a studio or park, or go to your favorite studio and sign up for a private class!
