The impact of COVID-19 has been felt by businesses in virtually every industry As gyms are forced to close, many members are cancelling memberships. But some gyms, like <a href="https://1851franchise.com/workoutanytime">Workout Anytime</a>, have established creative new ways to engage with members, keep them active at home and avoid cancellations.Workout Anytime Chief Operations Office, Mark de Gorter wrote in <a href="https://www.clubindustry.com/commercial-clubs/bright-spot-workout-anytime-gets-creative-to-keep-members-fit-revenue-flowing?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=as-covid-19-forces-gyms-to-close-workout-anytime-finds-new-ways-to-keep-members-active-2713018" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Club Industry</a> about the steps his brand is taking to help keep members healthy at home and keep memberships active at all of the brand’s 170 locations.&nbsp;“When cities and states started setting their own protocols for social distancing or shelter-in-place practices, we recognized that we needed to be prepared for our clubs to temporarily close their doors.
