It’s been over a decade since the first online gym class began and now it’s name is echoed around the halls. If you can’t imagine having to change clothes in school, there’s online gym. If you would rather not run laps at the YWCA when you could be making sculptures in ceramics; it’s ok, there’s online gym. But is gym really that easy to get out of? The course has been around in Minneapolis Public Schools since 2005. Online gym instructor Jim Carr stated in an email that the class first started “…as a way to give IB students an option to fulfill their requirements.” Now many take it as a way to free up their schedule for other classes: “I’m doing engineering and choir full time so I wouldn’t be able to fit [gym] into my schedule,” said junior Cali Juberian-McGuire, who is currently taking online gym.
