Description

The VIRTUAL GYM 2021 programs are a new proposal for sports in our city and are offered as a linked program with other programs of the Sports Centers for the existing or new members of the Municipal Sports Centers, for as long as quarantine measures are applied for COVID19.

Existing members or new members of the Municipal Sports Centers can participate in the VIRTUAL GYM 2021 programs, regardless of their athletic experience and physique, as long as they have the mood and appetite to play sports from home or in person.

Those interested can choose programs, days and hours from both programs by paying a token amount and follow them for a month. If they wish before the end of the month they can extend their participation for the next month.

The VIRTUAL GYM 2021 program is implemented with a video conference (tele-exercise) in groups of five people during which there is a two-way relationship between the trainees and the Physical Education Teacher throughout the workout. The program includes popular group programs such as Pilates, Cardio, Yoga , Tabata, Zumba, HIIT, Cross Training, Legs & Abs.

The program is implemented daily and those interested are invited to register in advance the group programs that will follow 2-3 times a week.

In order to watch the program, in addition to the registration form, those interested must be equipped with a computer with a camera and microphone, and an Internet connection. The monitoring of the program will be done through the ZOOM teleconferencing system, for which the members of each group will receive the necessary internet link on a weekly basis in order to connect after being accepted by the person in charge.

At the same time, those interested can watch the recorded sports programs of the municipal sports centers, which are posted on the website and Social Media of AAI SA OTA.

The program essentially offers a high level of sports to people who are unable to move from home for various reasons, and makes them part of the sports activities implemented in municipal sports centers.

At the same time it offers important jobs to idealized staff and exercise professionals.
