Anjurimak, a personal trainer and nutrition coach, says people are more focused on training at home rather than going to the gym after the blockade.
People who chose to exercise at home during a pandemic have brought a boom to the fitness industry.
Personal trainer and nutrition coach Anju Rimac said her online client count increased during the peak of the pandemic.
The number of clients in 80 countries tripled during the lockdown.
Two years after the pandemic began, she said more than half of her clients still worked from home.

Stay away from your desk: Personal trainer Mish McCormack will give you 10 minutes of home training for us working from home during the blockade.
Jim has resumed at alert level 2, but is limited in number and can work with all signal settings.
“Some people don’t feel safe in the gym because of Covid. Some people can’t train in the gym because they haven’t been vaccinated,” she said.
An estimated 400,000 people are members of the gym at one time, about 9 percent of the population.
Exercise New Zealand CEO Richard Bedive said the domestic fitness industry is worth $ 450 million.
He said Jim’s membership will return to 100% of pre-Covid levels within three months of the 2020 blockade, and new membership by 2021 will be comparable to 2019.
People were still exercising more at home, but as a supplement to their membership, Beddie said.
As a result, many gyms offered their own digital and virtual services, and trainers provided virtual sessions and online coaching to meet demand, he said.
It was a big emerging market. “But at the same time, people like human interactions are obvious, so the combination of face-to-face, virtual and digital will be the future,” he said.

According to Mack, clients have found that they prefer training at home to gyms. This saves travel time, is just as effective, can be run at home at any time, and doesn’t have to wait for equipment.
Mack exercised from home in a one-bedroom apartment in Auckland during the pandemic. “You don’t need that much for great training.”
Dean Kippenberger, product manager for retailer Torpedo 7, said the demand for fitness equipment has skyrocketed since the pandemic began.
“The tendency to exercise at home is accelerating, and more and more people are attending online fitness classes,” he said.
“Treadmills, weights and dumbbells are especially popular.”
With the move to home exercise, Countdown Supermarket has added fitness products to more than 100 of its 180 stores.
Countdown has added a variety of Cicruband products to the shelves, including resistance bands, yoga mats, ab rollers, speed ropes and dumbbells.
Circuband was founded in 2014 by the brothers Nick and Dan Thomson to make it easy for people to exercise anytime, anywhere.
Former Hurricane and Crusaders rugby player Tim Bateman joined the company shortly afterwards as a board member.
The countdown contract will make the exercise more accessible, Dan Thomson said.

Fitness brand Circuband makes exercise products more accessible by releasing a range in the countdown supermarket.
“It’s a big benefit for everyone. It’s good if you have more access to fitness products.”
A Countdown spokeswoman said for the first time in New Zealand that the store has an area dedicated to fitness products.
“We are also looking at how we can expand our current online services at the request of our customers,” she said.
