If you’ve ever uttered the excuse “I don’t have time to workout,” now is your moment of truth. With more time on our hands than ever before, it’s tempting to take the path of least resistance—Netflix marathons, copious amounts of junk food and scrolling social media like a zombie—but it has never been more important to stay on top of our mental and physical health. We know a boxy Bangkok apartment is no substitute for the gym or park (sob) but these Bangkok studios are doing their best to motivate you with their home workout classes. Let’s come out of this fit and healthy!
