Virtual Workout Classes from Whidbey Island Yoga Studios & Fitness Centers
With gyms and studios closed due to COVID-19, many people are turning to online fitness classes to stay active. Luckily there are *tons* of awesome virtual fitness classes to help keep us all motivated and in shape, and several of our gyms and studios right here on Whidbey Island have quickly transitioned to offering virtual classes that you can easily access anywhere with wifi!
Here are a few of our local Whidbey Island studios with virtual classes going on right now (organized by type of class):
