Like many other companies, the platform had to turn to remote work in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, however it didn't want to deprive its employees of the fitness perks that so many had come to love. In search of a solution, Pinterest turned to virtual alternatives, allowing its employees to take part in classes via [Zoom](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/room-for-zoom) and Google Hangouts. To make sure that everyone was aware of which classes were taking place, the company also set up a wellness calendar so they could plan their activities ahead of time. Pinterest even added a [dance class](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zumba-fitness1) that working parents could involve their kids in.
