TLDR: Many wonderful trainers offer free virtual fitness classes for people stuck at home during Covid-19 lockdown. We built an app that helps you find upcoming classes and support trainers with optional donations.
- For trainers: Create a profile here
- For trainees: Find trainers and classes here
We will donate $50 to each of the first 50 trainers that create Salut profiles. The app is free. 100% of donations go to the trainers.
At Salut, we’re working hard on our fully featured app and platform, but it’s just not ready yet. However, we want to be helpful now. Due to Covid-19 and social distancing, trainers and their clients are stuck at home. To help people stay fit, many trainers are streaming virtual fitness sessions via Zoom, Instagram Live, Twitch, YouTube, or the like.
First, THANK YOU to all the trainers out there offering these kinds of services. You are an inspiration and you are helping countless people who are struggling to stay fit and connected while quarantined at home.
Trainers tell us that it’s too hard for people to find their virtual classes. While Instagram and Zoom are great for streaming videos, there’s just no easy way for people to browse and discover fitness pros and their virtual classes. So, we built an app that helps fix that problem.
And, while tens or hundreds of people participate in each class, they can’t easily show their support by donating to the trainer. If trainers can’t support themselves during this crisis, they won’t continue to offer virtual classes.
Salut is a directory of trainers that offer virtual training classes. You can browse by profile, discipline, and calendar. It includes a wide range of classes including Yoga, Kettlebell, Bodyweight, Circuit Training, and more. You can see the trainer’s profile, their class schedule, and a link to their live classes. You can also donate any amount to your trainer and pay with a credit card. Trainers receive 100% of donations after credit card fees.
We will donate $50 to each of the first 50 approved trainers who sign up. In order to claim your donation you are required to complete your profile, keep your calendar up-to-date, ensure that classes happen when you say they will, and promote the app on your other social profiles.
We’re all in this together. Let’s use this time to create meaningful connections and keep ourselves and communities healthy and strong.
