"* rochester's anytime fitness has seen an increase in new members this summer..

As concerns over how the cornoavirus can impact those with health issues have grown.

However, owner matt jewison also tells me there's been a slight increase in past clients who have frozen their accounts.

Jewison says that's likely a result of being closed for nearly three months.

The gym has been open since june 10th and jewison says the focus is on measures like routine disinfection of equipment to ease gym go?

"* ers concerns and enforcing the mask mandate.

<i think people are just taking it seriously especially in a city where medicine is kind of the focus, people get the severity of it, and they want to keep each other and the community safe.> if you're planning on working out in a gym still try and maintain six feet distance..

But if you're breathing hard try and make that 12 feet.
