. And I appreciate how the fitness industry has embraced technology and social media to make their brands and instructors more accessible. Trainers are hosting classes over Zoom, fitness apps are offering extended free trials, and at SELF we’ve been livestreaming workouts on ourIt’s not because I’m ill-equipped.
During a Zoom, sure, they watch me and try to correct my form over video—but I can also quit whenever I want by closing my laptop. It’s much less awkward thanleaving the room to “refill your water bottle” and *maybe* never coming back. And please don’t try to convince me that a high-five to the selfie camera on an Instagram is an excellent substitute for the real thing.
You know that feeling of not wanting to disappoint a trainer even though this *literal stranger* doesn’t even know your last name? Or the imaginary competition between you and the rando to your right who’s also just trying to breathe, praying that this 30-second treadmill sprint is almost done? That’s the kind of motivation I can’t replicate alone.

In the gym I would push myself to chest press two 35-pound dumbbells. At the office, I wore nice button-ups and held group meetings with my team.

I take Zoom meetings on the same couch where I watchreruns. There are too many places already being shared between my professional and personal lives that I refuse to add burning out my leg muscles next to my bed where I do most of my masturbating.while my local government allows me to.
