Anytime Fitness teacher Jillian Wilfahrt conducts a class in the parking lot adjacent to the New Ulm City Hall.

NEW ULM — Ever since COVID-19 hit, Anytime Fitness teacher Jillian Wilfahrt has been taking her morning exercise classes to different locations. Tuesday the class visited the parking lot adjacent to the New Ulm City Hall.

Wilfahrt said the outdoor group workouts are a way to let friends see each other while keeping socially distant.

The group meets at 5:30 a.m. at a variety of venues. They have worked out at Martin Luther College, German Park or even on a hillside.

“It breaks things up and keeps it fun,” Wilfahrt said.

The workout class does bootcamp exercises. The exercise is designed to keep the bones and heart in shape and get a person’s metabolism running.
