Gyms were forced to shut down in March 2020 to try to curb the spread of Covid-19. This crippled the $94 billion US fitness industry, displacing more than 41,000 gyms and 64 million members. To survive, many are trying to pivot their business model by investing heavily in digital and integrating social components where members can see which classes their friends are taking and workout virtually with them. Some gym instructors video chat with clients to help with their form and to motivate them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s not a smooth road for fitness studios that aren&#8217;t accustomed to being primarily digital. Although some gyms offer a variety of free live-streamed classes on Facebook, zoom, and YouTube, in many cases,  you can only participate (effectively) in the classes if you have certain equipment at home. Regardless if you have pivoted successfully, or you are trying to adjust to the new normal, getting a grant will definitely ease the transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grantnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/pexels-photo-4056535.jpeg\" alt=\"woman girl animal dog\" class=\"wp-image-7432\" width=\"785\" height=\"524\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grantnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/pexels-photo-4056535.jpeg 1880w, https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grantnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/pexels-photo-4056535-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grantnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/pexels-photo-4056535-800x533.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grantnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/pexels-photo-4056535-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grantnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/pexels-photo-4056535-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 785px) 100vw, 785px\" \/><figcaption>Photo by cottonbro on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/woman-girl-animal-dog-4056535\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Pexels.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fitness Grants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grant\/164429\/grants-to-usa-yoga-teachers-for-yoga-programs-to-benefit-underserved-populations.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Grants of $500 to $1000<\/a> to USA certified yoga teachers for programs and projects that benefit underserved populations and increase access to yoga.
