Starting off 2021 on the right foot means setting some solid intentions for the year ahead. Whether you believe in setting resolutions or not, the start of a new year is always an opportune time to put your health and wellness at the forefront of your priorities.

Now we know the start of 2021 doesn’t look like typical years past. You might not be feeling so eager to head out to a fitness facility but would rather look for options to do at home. Whether you have a gym set up in your basement or have no equipment at all, there are plenty of options out there to get you on the path to a healthier lifestyle.

We’ve rounded up a list of fitness studios across Saskatchewan that are offering their classes to you, virtually. From yoga to kickboxing, there’s something out there for every level of fitness enthusiast. But before you get started, it’s important to keep in mind a solid WiFi connection. With SaskTel’s Optimum In-home WiFi, you have the luxury to workout anywhere in your home with a stable connection.
