The launch of Equinox and SoulCycle’s new fitness app, Variis, couldn’t possibly have been timed any better.

As a former freelancer, I’m used to the loose, solitary rhythms of working from home. I find it easier to focus on the words in front of me in the silence of my living room, sprawled on the couch with a nice candle burning. But now that social distancing is the name of the game, my usual stress-relief methods—a sweaty gym workout or a run around Central Park’s often-crowded reservoir path—seem downright irresponsible.
Since I don’t have $2.5k burning a hole in my pocket or enough space for a fully loaded spin bike, I gave the classes on Variis a try. The app offers a library of options, which are basically highly produced video versions of what they offer at their gyms: strength training, yoga, HIIT, stretching, and guided running, with options ranging from a couple of minutes to just under an hour. There are also guided meditations tailored to pre- or post-workout, sleep, or focus.
