As gyms remain closed in Western New York, some people are finding creative ways to get their heart rate up in a group setting.

An outdoor class Sunday morning in East Amherst was held at Synergy Fitness. People were spread out in the parking lot working up a sweat.

Owner Greg Jones said the classes are meant to rally the community behind a sense of comradery.

Jones said the plan is to keep the outdoor boot camp going every weekend until gyms can reopen in order to keep people moving.
