In fashion, there has already been a wave of heated debate about what to expect in the post-pandemic world. When it hit, Covid-19 caused demand for tracksuits, pajamas, hoodies, sportswear and other leisurewear to surge. Some designers think this has sparked a permanent move towards more comfortable styles.

In turn, offices will become a destination for innovation, collaboration, networking, coaching, and socializing. But it's going to be hard for businesses to navigate well.

For a fraction of the price of a premier gym membership or an in-person private trainer, new apps let the homebound schedule personalized, one-on-one coaching at convenient times.
