When will classes reopen?

Because mixing inside with people is still banned, classes aren’t allowed to go ahead. So far, it appears that the nation is on track for gyms and studios to run classes on 17 May, and Johnson has previously said that he will give businesses enough notice as to whether this date will change.

This includes indoor yoga, spinning, boxing and any types of group exercise classes at boutique gyms, studios and leisure centres.

Outside classes are on though, and have been since 29 March. Formally organised outdoor exercise can go ahead with any number of people as long as it’s led by a business, charity or public body. If you’re organising a class with your friends outside, you can exercise with up to five others.

Some class-based fitness centres have changed their usual set up to be in line with government regulations, allowing people to use their studios as an ‘open gym’ rather than trainer led indoor classes.
