The gym is an important part of many people’s lives—it’s a space to relieve stress while working on one’s own physical health. You lift weights, you take classes, you challenge yourself, sometimes to the point of exhaustion, but you’re proud of yourself. "I did it," you say to yourself after a workout.

Then 2020 happened. Gyms shut down, beaches were off limits, everything stuck in limbo. Now what?!, you may have thought.

Thankfully, there are companies like Orangetheory Fitness, who, while faced with a pandemic, found a way to keep their community motivated.

In this episode of Real Talk, we’ll hear from JJ Creegan and Jerry Wilson about OTF’s digital shift when faced with the pandemic, how they’re slowly and safely reopening studios, and how they’ve continued to support their members, their franchisees and their internal teams through it all.
