COVID's Impact on Julia's Business

Like most industries, Julia's business was significantly affected by the COVID-19 outbreak. Therefore, services such as group workouts and personal training were rendered impossible. As a result of COVID-19, her shop had to pivot quickly and adequately to survive. Currently, she offers her services online, a practice she's found both affordable and effective. Julia has even been able to find more people online than she could at the shop.

The Importance of Her Work

Julia believes that her work ensures that we will become better individuals. And with better individuals, we can only be a better community. Her work also emphasizes better wellness and living, something that is significant in everyone's life. Her wellness goals for the rest of the year include finding new systems and habits to further push her vision and work.

Julia's advice on Adult Activities

According to Julia, adults need around 4-5 workout sessions per week. The sessions should be semi-intense and last for about 30 minutes long.

Julia's Advice on Kids Activities

Julia suggests that children need at least an hour-long solid activity during the day on kids' activities. This is to help in their bone and muscle development.

Her Take on Outdoor Workouts

Currently, Julia feels it would only be safe to workout outside if you follow the set COVID-19 precautions.

Gym Unavailability

Julia thinks that the unavailability of gyms shouldn't be an excuse to avoid a workout. Instead, it should even be a motivation to work out naturally. At home, you can exercise with online resources such as YouTube and social media. Therefore, there are better alternatives to help you get active without a gym. Julia also adds that these alternative resources are readily and widely available through online platforms. Additionally, her Body Shop has an official website where users can get the services they require. From workout services to nutrition advice, you can get step-by-step guidance on the brand's official site.

Connecting During this Time

Julia sees social media as the best way to connect during this trying period. She describes wellness online communities as the best places to stay accountable for your fitness at the moment. Finding like-minded people and sharing ideas may significantly motivate you to keep on working for better wellness.
