Virtual Cardio Fitness Challenge

How has this idea enhanced your club's operation, etc.?

The idea has enhanced our operations by getting several different groups to participate in a club activity during the pandemic, while also staying committed to fitness.

How was this idea implemented, and what have been the club members' reactions?
