"Hey, everyone!" Sally Winchell exclaims. "Coming to you live!"

As her class logs onto the Facebook Live stream by twos and threes, she looks into the camera and greets them by name. Meanwhile she gives a synopsis of the upcoming workout. A few minutes later, she's counting off deep knee bends.

Since mid-March, activities at Bright Side Opportunities Center have been shut down due to coronovirus. So Winchell, the facility's wellness director, has been offering online fitness classes for members from her Lancaster Township home.

At least 50 people a week tune in live, Sally said. Other viewers catch the videos later on Facebook and YouTube.

It's been a great way to keep members engaged while they're at home, she said.

Her husband, freelance cinematographer George Winchell, owns WM Productions. He created a basic lighting and camera setup in the couple's dining room.

From March 18 to 31, the classes were offered daily. There was even a contest with cash prizes (the first-place winner received $100) to encourage people to tune in.

Winchell now alternates with yoga instructor Teri Butson, with Winchell offering three online classes a week, and Butson offering two.

Bright Side member Maria Coole says Winchell's classes have been invaluable for her — for the social connection as well as the physical exercise.

"Sally mixes it up each day," she said. "She's so bright and sunny." It's fun to hear Winchell greet fellow class members, and nice to hear her say how much she misses the group.

Winchell said she's comfortable in front of the camera. In an in-person group class, people can feed off each other's intensity; that's harder when they're by themselves at home, so she's makes it a point to keep her own energy level high.

A couple of times, she's moved the setup into the kitchen and offered a food class.
