Local gym preps for shutdown

Can they survive a second shutdown?

Gyms were asked to close down in march ... they may be asked to close down again.

Kimt news three's mary peters tells us how this will impact a rochester gym.

George ?

"* yes, people may not be able to come here and get their workouts in for the next month ... they may have to workout from home.

The owner from the rochester anytime fitness tells me they made it through the last closure.

And since then, they have increased the amount of cleaning they do, as well as providing more supplies for people to clean the equipment after using it.

They also have a capacity limit, but the owner says that since they are open twenty?

"*four hours, they have not had an issue with the number of people.

However, fewer people have been since the more recent spike, we've definitely seen people, like personal training clients, that are dropping off ... saying hey, we're probably not coming back until, um, until the vaccine is out or until this spike kind of comes back down.

As well as even daily usage, it's been down a little bit.

Which makes sense.

The owner did tell me that he feels the shutdown could be a good thing, but hopes it's not longer than four weeks.

Live in rochester ... mary peters ... kimt news three.

Thanks, mary.
