EN The article demonstrates how the situation of fitness instructors in Poland changed due to the Covid-19 crisis, what models they use to interpret and define these changes and the challenges they are facing, and finally, what coping strategies are being developed on the grassroots level and in local context. The study employs the theoretical framework of social change and analyses the actions, strategies, attitudes and expectations developed by social actors placed in a given context (in this case, fitness instructors in Poland) in response to the conditions and circumstances resulting from a change (the Covid-19 crisis). It also attempts to identify the factors that determine the variety of reactions and the (in)aptitude in adapting to the changing rules in the new reality, in a society out of balance.
