It should come as no surprise that many people have been exercising at home since the outbreak of Covid-19. As gyms have shut their doors and the CDC has suggested we stay in our homes many exercise enthusiasts have taken to working out inside.

So much traffic has shifted to these online services that we could be seeing a permanent change in the industry. The popularity of the home workout can be seen by looking at some quick data on Google trends.
