Upstate Studios is a popular fitness brand in Australia offering classes in pilates, boxing, HIIT, yoga, and meditation. Before temporarily closing studio doors to adhere to COVID-19 social distancing guidelines, Gail Asbell, Co-Founder of Upstate, knew her four locations needed a solution, and they needed it fast. Once the studio became virtual, they quickly noticed the difference that live-streaming makes, and seized the opportunity to strengthen their fitness community with FitGrid.
