Starting today, the City of Barrie is offering virtual, livestreamed fitness classes as part of a pilot program.
For the first two weeks, virtual classes will be open to current recPASS members only, but then on December 21, virtual classes will be open to all recreation users with an online account on play.barrie.ca.
“We’re committed to offering unique ways for our community to maintain a healthy lifestyle, which right now is more important than ever,” says Mayor Jeff Lehman. “Our staff have been hearing from our members and residents that they’d like to see alternative, virtual options, and we’ve delivered on this with online fitness programming you can participate in safely from the comfort of home.”
Participants can choose from a variety of different instructors and fitness activities, including Bootcamp and Zumba.
If successful, the City plans to rollout additional virtual recreation program offerings in the months ahead.
Starting Dec 7, #BarrieRec will offer live-streamed fitness classes to existing recPASS members as a pilot program. Starting Dec 21, these classes will be open to all users w/ an existing https://t.co/RGc00GoeB6 account. Details: https://t.co/xd89ILVOBu #Barrie pic.twitter.com/NiNltba4iy
