Gyms(健身房)across China have been made to close so that they couldn't help spread the virus in 2020. A number of gyms have started classes online so their customers can keep healthy from home. Lauren Hogan, General Manager for F45 in Shanghai, told BBC that her gyms are offering lessons on WeChat.
"Every day my coaches have created a circuit-based training depending on our programming. ''Coaches have created lists of exercises and they are recording videos, but having fun with it, too." Ms. Hogan said there are groups in WeChat for customers to share the day's exercise they have completed. In fact, the videos have helped customers talk and know that there is a resource for them, and customers have been very happy and grateful. Ms. Hogan and her coaches have got personal thank you messages.
A music festival called Strawberry Music Festival, which has been hosted in several Chinese cities, also has put on its own indoor music festival named "Hi, I am also at home,,. The festival was held for five days and many musical acts joined it. The shows were pre-recorded, however viewers were able to discuss the music together in the comments section as if they were watching a show together.
Bookshops have also had to think of new ways of reaching customers, a double blow (双重打击)to an industry that is already competing against online shops. Chengdu Fang Suo Bookstore is located in a shopping centre in the city. One bookseller named Jin Jin said that it usually interests customers with its peaceful environment, however it has turned to Wechat to help bring in income (收入).Shop workers made their own book lists in WeChat groups. Customers could order the books from their online store.
Elsewhere in China, 1200 Bookstore in Guangzhou, a 24-hour shop, has been selling gift cards, tote bag (托特包) and "blind gift packages" as a way to bring in income. But the store's owner warned its customers on social media that it might not be long before 1200 Bookstore would have to shut permanently (永久地).As a result, he has got lots of supportive messages from followers,
