different gym "classes"

Will get some attention.

He believes his gym...which is considered a boutique fitness studio should be allowed to open before bigger gyms, which are in the final phase.

News channel two's gary liberatore spoke to that owner today via zoom.

Tc : 08:45 "i know things are going to go in the back to normal i'm not asking for that, i'm not looking for that but i do want to be able to be a part of the solution in terms of things that are being talked about."

Anthony mucurio "muh-curio" has owned prime movement and performance in new hartford since 2015, but has been shut down since march 13th...basically giving individual training to clients...virtually... tc : 03:57 "it has been challenging for sure and we have lost a tremendous a run amount of revenue over the past couple of months."

Now he is hoping his voice will be heard by local and state politicians to get him to be able to reopen sooner than phase 4, which at the earliest would allow all gyms to open around july 1st, and that's ((if(( all goes well during the previous phases.

Tc : 35:15 "all of my classes are reservation only so we traditionally our class is at 16 but with the circumstances and how much equipment we have, we would cut it down to eight."

Mucurio "muh-curio" says his and other gyms like his should be in a different category as large gyms and is hoping this class of gyms will be allowed to open sooner than their bigger counterparts.

Tc : 02:34 "i just wanna make sure that people are aware that not all gyms are created equally and there's different styles and different types and different ways to kind of manage those things."

There is a group of similar gyms and studios in rochester that have put a petition up on change.org to try and get that petition presented to local officials in the rochester area as well as governor cuomo to allow the reopening of boutique fitness studios, wellness center's, small gyms and yoga studio's.

Muh-curio is considering doing the same here in the mohawk valley region...so governor cuomo will get mor ethan just one message.

Tc : 05:90 "i'm trying to do the right thing for both our business and for the community so we're trying to tread lightly here and try to figure out what's the best scenario."

If you would like to see the petition that's alrady up in the rochester area, we have a link for you on our website.
