I live in a 55 and over gated community, our club and GYM has been closed since March 13th 2020. It is so wonderful to be able to take classes COA.

It has provided me with a way to interact with others. It has given me an outlet to exercise both my mind and body in the privacy of my home.

The wellness class helped me make the transition to work at home more successful by keeping me moving. I have taken the evening Pilates class from April to December maybe missing every 4th or 5th class. I would then do Allie Duffy's recorded class. About November a yoga class was offered at 1 p.m. MT that I could work into my schedule. I find it difficult to commit to classes during my work shift (7:30-4:30 MT) as work would cause last minute cancellations. The classes have help me to remember good posture in the work at home environment. Once I started the COA classes, I reduced my aches from working/sitting. I do prefer in person classes which are not possible this year.

When lockdown started there were a ton of virtual/IG/FB events happening. Gradually those tapered off to subscription based services and pay per class. I love that all COA classes are free and the classes are consistent. It's very rare that a class gets cxld. I look forward to Thursdays. I take exercise classes mainly. I love having the classes to see other people who are experiencing the same thing across the world!
