HARTLAND After stating he would be opening his business on Saturday, Snap Fitness in Hartland owner Erik Mullett has changed his mind and will keep his business closed for the time being. Mullett said he made his decision to keep the gym closed after seeing the lawsuit filed by the Republican Party about Gov. Tony Evers Safer at Home extension as well as talking with local law enforcement.

The decision was based on whats best for our community and that includes our law enforcement, our members and everyone involved, Mullett said. I feel very passionate that we should be able to open up sooner rather than later.

Mullett said he is taking it day-by-day after the ruling to see when it will be the right time to open Snap Fitness.

(Then we will be) evaluating what Gov. Evers has given us in addition to President Trump, Mullett said.

As part of his decision, Mullett talked with Hartland Police Chief Torin Misko on Wednesday about trying to open Snap Fitness. Misko said he and Mullett had a good conversation and he was empathetic to the situation small business owners are in. He added that each case involving the order needs to be handled on an individual basis because people, himself and his officers are all learning every day.

My direction from the beginning was that these are unprecedented times for everyone, including the law enforcement, Misko said. We wanted to take the time to educate and talk people through what the actual words and orders say and applies.

Mullett said his talk with Misko weighed heavily on his decision not to reopen yet because of his respect for law enforcement.

Misko said he laid out Mulletts options about what would happen if he did open.

If he decided to open, his case with Snap Fitness would be a very clear violation of the order, Misko said. With any state statute or order there is always interpretation, but for this particular case it actually specifically outlines gym and fitness centers shall remain closed.

Hartland didnt adopt an ordinance for the order, so Mullett would not be fined; but if he did open ahead of schedule, Misko said, he would have referred a misdemeanor charge as outlined by the order to the Waukesha County District Attorneys office for review.

However the Supreme Court decides, Mullett said he will not be waiting until May 26 to reopen.

Theres bigger things at stake here and thats the mental and physical health of people out there, Mullett said. Weve written Gov. Evers and are urging him to consider gyms to be essential to mental health.

Its much bigger than us specifically.

Mullett said he is trying to balance a fluid situation between Evers orders and President Donald Trumps actions.

Were trying to balance it and be as responsible as we possibly can to open it at the right time and not to upset too many people and make COVID go the wrong direction, Mullet said.
