Orangetheory
Orangetheory Fitness launched a virtual fitness platform so users can livestream classes at home.
Today 90% of its studios are open, and 70% of members have returned for in-person classes.
Orangetheory classes are harder to replicate at home as they require multiple pieces of equipment.
Orangetheory Fitness is steadily rebuilding its business as the pandemic wages on, but it hasn t been easy.
For one, unlike other studio-based workouts, Orangetheory s bootcamp-style class requires multiple pieces of expensive equipment, making it more cumbersome for consumers to replicate at home. While fitness companies like Peloton or Row House call for a single piece of machinery and thus just one major investment Orangetheory workouts tend to involve a treadmill, indoor rowing machine, free weights, resistance bands, and a heart rate monitor.
WINNIPEG Winnipeggers could be enjoying a bus to the beach soon as the Winnipeg Transit Master Plan proposes a route to Birds Hill Park. On Thursday, the plan was presented at the Standing Policy Committee on Infrastructure, Renewal, and Public Works meeting. The 90-page document proposes a new transit network in the city that would make the system more frequent, reliable, and faster. Winnipeg Transit is how many people in the city commute, and for Curt Barz, who doesn t have a personal vehicle, it s now he gets everywhere. I take the bus easily a couple times a day, said Barz. Sometimes half a dozen times a day to go to and from work, and anywhere else in particular, running errands.
WINNIPEG Manitoba reached a vaccination milestone on Saturday, with 100,000 doses administered, according to Health and Seniors Care Minister Heather Stefanson. The milestone comes one year this month after the first Manitoban died from the virus and three months removed from the start of the vaccination campaign that began on December 16 of last year. The first vaccination clinic was for healthcare workers and took place at the University of Manitoba s Bannatyne campus. Health Science Centre physician Brian Penner got the first shot. I m very fortunate and it s a luck of the draw as to how I got here and it was not expected, said Penner at the time.
Dairy Belle coming to Dyer

The 71-year-old Region institution, which has been serving scoops since it started in Hammond in 1950, is opening next to Pop s on U.S. 30 in Dyer, about three miles west of its existing location on U.S. 30 in Schererville.
The Colao family, owner of Dairy Belle, is friends with Pop s owners, which led them to open next to Pop s Italian beef restaurants in Crown Point and now Dyer, Natalie Colao said.
