Gyms preparing to open June 1st

Progression Fitness in Rochester won't open for another two weeks.

It says members will have to sign up for a class to meet capacity requirements.

All still closed.

Restaurants new on daybreak new for you on daybreak?

As we just said, businesses are starting to somewhat reopen, but gyms in minnesota have to wait until next month.

Kimt news 3's madelyne watkins joins us live this morning to tell us how the staff at one rochester gym are breaking a sweat, as they get ready to reopen.

Brooke and tyler.

If you're someone who prefers working out and is better motivated in the gym setting?

You're probably tired of this... lifting weights and doing your workout?

Like me here in the living room.

And i'm sorry to say we still have to wait 2 more weeks until getting back into the gym in minnesota.

But gyms are ready to have you back too!

I spoke with the ceo of progression fitness in rochester, joshua (gr?

Nell) grenell, and he tells me they're making some accommodatio ns before opening on june 1st.

For example... they're drawing out 12 by 12 spaces on the floor with the idea being that the member assigned to that area won't leave the space until they're done.

Before the pandemic... you could work out whenever you wanted at progression fitness.

But now, you'll have to sign up for a class to follow capacity requirements.

Grenell tells me he's feeling confident the new changes will help keep everyone safe.

"i'm in a gym mentoring group and talking to gyms all over the world, so it's actually nice that other gyms have already tried this and basically we're getting all the best practices.

We think we know what's going to work well."

Grenell says they sent a survey to the members to get a feel for if they're even comfortable to come back... and he says 90 percent of his customers say they're ready.

So until then... you'll just have to get your sweat on at home or outside.

Live in rochester.

Madelyne watkins kimt thank you madelyne.

Grenell says employees will be wearing masks and they're planning on taking everyone's temperature as they walk through the door.

Gyms in iowa reopened last week, and are ordered to stay below 50 percent capacity.

Thank you madelyne.
