Not Enough Time To Exercise?

For Gen Z, “Exercise is focused on stress management, mental wellbeing and a balanced, holistic lifestyle … They connect body and mind and like them to work harmoniously to create an altogether sense of wellbeing and health. Breaking the mold and offering Meditation as a class, or an “add-on” to other classes could be a potential win”
