As the nation goes into lockdown all gyms have been closed until further notice from the Australian Government.

Owner of Three Sons Fitness John Doyle said he planned on starting online work outs.

"We are trying to come up with contingency plans like online training, live feeds and/or posting up sessions," Mr Doyle said.

"But the hardest thing is all the kids I work with, whether in my programs or my clients kids, all the connections and relationships I have built with my clients, it sucks, I just hope and pray everybody can continue in some form of positive health and fitness activities whilst we all get through this hard time together.

"I hope the kids I've been working with can stay motivated enough to keep moving forward with positive and healthy behaviours! I'll be doing all I can to help people stay on track and to keep my business alive to be able to provide for my wife and the gym."
