Professional supervision and guidance from an exercise therapist were described as central to the tele-exercise provision. Participants found the tele-exercise schedule, content and intensity to be acceptable, and were satisfied with the privacy, security and safety of the technology and classes. Participants described how the tele-exercise classes helped them to cope with the changes to their lives brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim and analysed using thematic analysis. A total of 12 participants ( n = 8 female), with a mean age of 46.3 (range 33–63) years, who had undergone either sleeve gastrectomy ( n = 8) or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass ( n = 4) surgery, participated in one-to-one semi-structured interviews following the tele-exercise classes.
Between 3 and 6 months following bariatric surgery, 13 adults participated in weekly, structured, 60-min supervised exercise classes delivered via Zoom by a trained exercise therapist. However, patients' acceptability of this method of exercise provision is unknown. Due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the in-person supervised exercise component had to be converted to remote tele-exercise.
