Daily Coronavirus Check-in: Ben Lucas reveals how he innovated his business to survive Covid closures
Look I’m not a gym person, I only started going a year ago after I had knee surgery. So it was really only out of necessity. But I know they’re a sanctuary for a lot of working parents who need a break and to do something for themselves. I’ve also really felt for all the gyms going under during Covid, I’ve heard so many stories of businesses that just couldn’t afford to ride things out and it’s just crushing. One that managed to stay afloat by pivoting VERY quickly, is Flow Athletic in Sydney. It’s run by Ben Lucas who is also a dad of two little ones with his journalist wife Talitha Cummins – a previous guest on The Juggling Act. So I reached out to him to find out how he kept his business running with the Covid closures, especially with two little people at home.
