JULIE HYMAN: Liz Plosser is "Womens' Health" Editor-in-Chief. She's joining us as part of our Women and Money segment, brought to you by USAA.

Liz, it's good to see you. As you survey the landscape out there, I'm getting a lot of emails and messages from both publicly traded companies, individual gyms, individual influencers, about all of the fitness services that they're offering. How do you sift through everything?

LIZ PLOSSER: Yes. Well, thank you for having me. It's good to be here. And this is definitely a topic on everybody's minds right now as we are spending more and more time in our homes. I think for a lot of Americans, going to the gym or taking a boutique fitness class or running with a group of friends in a jogging group is just part of their daily ritual and healthy lifestyle, and suddenly those options are no longer available.

So what we've seen happen in the past week is that everybody from those gyms and studios to trainers with an online presence, whether that's in Facebook or Instagram, they're finding really creative ways to reach their audiences and new humans, and get them up and off the couch to do a little bit of exercise and fitness to try to stay mentally, emotionally, and physically healthy through all of this.

JULIE HYMAN: Yes. As we know, it can be a challenge, since all of us, obviously, are in our own homes. I want to bring in Melody Hahm. She is our West Coast reporter. She has a question for you, Liz.

MELODY HAHM: Hey, Liz. A lot of us are wondering whether these changes we're implementing during this uncertain time will be structural changes to our lifestyle, right? We've heard so much about telemedicine. We've seen a lot of these studios, like Julie mentioned, going to VOD anyway. Do you feel as though after this crisis abates, looking to 2021, 2022, will this be integral? Or will we kind of revert back to our previous behavior?

LIZ PLOSSER: I think that it will profoundly impact how we consume fitness. We had already seen at "Women's Health" that streaming fitness and these sort of virtual fitness options, whether it's the Peloton bike or the mirror or various apps that people use, those were just on the rise. But now it's putting fitness in the hands of all of these influencers and turning them into almost their own production studios where they can offer up fitness. So we're seeing all sorts of brands and people get in on that.
