Springfield, IL - A south suburban Illinois senator says Gov. JB Pritzker's working group on health and fitness is ready to move forward with their plans to reopen gyms. Sen. Michael Hastings (D-Tinley Park) says many people don't have access to gym equipment at home. Now, there is a growing call to reopen the facilities. The group takes suggestions from the Illinois Department of Public Health and experts in the fitness industry.
Members are happy Pritzker allowed personal training and outdoor fitness classes to resume in Phase 3 of the Restore Illinois plan. However, that doesn't help the owners get over the current financial hurdle. "Getting inside and getting people back on the equipment will help these owners," Hastings said.
He explained many fitness centers have lost $20,000 to $50,000 per month since the pandemic started. The working group recommends Pritzker set aside $40 million from the Business Interruption Grant Program to help the fitness facilities. Hastings' group asked for the same financial assistance when they wrote a letter to Pritzker in May.
"I truly believe whether it's reopening gradually or providing financial assistance, or doing both, we'll help preserve a lot of these small businesses. A lot of them are individual franchisees," Hastings said. "Gym owners are the true definition of hard workers because they have to be there to make sure the place runs."
He hopes Pritzker will also provide guidance to accelerate Phase 4 options for gym and fitness centers. The working group already has plans to implement social distancing and strict cleaning procedures for employees when the facilities reopen. They're still trying to figure out the best option for capacity requirements.
"Some fitness centers have different layouts. There's boutique fitness centers and there's large cap fitness centers. So, we take that into consideration," Hastings said.

Planet Fitness is reopening its doors at 19 locations in New Hampshire on Thursday.
The company is excited to welcome back members and new clients who realize the importance of being fit after seeing the devastating health effects of COVID-19 on people, spokeswoman McCall Gosselin said Tuesday.
Fitness is really essential to people for peoples overall health and well-being and thats not just physical, but also mental as well, Gosselin said.
Planet Fitness locations in New Hampshire shut down three months ago on March 17. So far, the company has been able to reopen nearly 1,300 locations in 43 states.
The Hampton-based company has more than 15.5 million members and over 2,000 locations in 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Canada, the Dominican Republic, Panama, Mexico and Australia. More than 95 percent of their locations are owned and operated by franchisees.
It was challenging for all businesses, having to close for several months as a result of COVID-19. But the franchisees are certainly very positive about the future, and so are we at our corporate headquarters, Gosselin said.
Gosselin said Planet Fitness is monitoring traffic flow in their gyms to ensure they meet capacity recommendations set by states. In New Hampshire, that is set at 50 percent.
Gyms were allowed to reopen in New Hampshire on Monday. Small group classes were permissible under state guidance starting on June 1.

Workout pods are the new fitness trend for people determined to go to the gym – For The Win

Coronavirus has disrupted almost every aspect of daily life for the past several months, but, as states relax their social distancing laws, were all moving towards a return to normal.
As a natural shut-in who blogs for a living, the lockdown hasnt really bothered me that much but I know many people are absolutley at their wits end, desperate to be back among their co-workers, friends and workout buddies.
Now, I would look at the fact that theres a deadly virus working its way through the population as an excuse to maybe skip the gym for a few more months, but people with toned quads and ripped abs know thats taking the easy way out.
Hence, workout pods have been invented.
In these photos from Frederic J Brown of the AFP, the truly hard core are shown taking an exercise class atInspire South Bay Fitness in Redondo Beach, California wrapped in plastic sheeting.
Yes, these workout pods look kind of stupid and probably smell terrible, but this is a pretty smart way to do it. It probably doesnt totally stop the spread of the virus, considering one side is open and germs will still travel through the air, but its better than nothing?
Look, I could care less about getting to the gym at the moment, but its clear that the virus is going to be with us for a long time, and every action we take is going to be a matter of calculating the risk/benefit analysis. Getting exercise is vital to a healthy lifestyle and helps reduce stress and depression, something a lot o us are dealing with right now. So, is it worth it to some people to roll the dice so they can workout in shrink wrap? Probably! Who am I to judge.
Also, this is still safer than all those places that just dont take any precautions at all.
I wish I could look at these pictures and marvel at human ingenuity and resourcefulness, but I mostly just feel that our dystopia grows and grows by the day. Were in the middle of a global pandemic! Why are yall so pressed about keeping up with your Cross Fit and Orange Theory or whatever it is people do. Use this time to be a lout! The universe has handed these dedicated gym rats a perfectly valid excuse to stay home and they turned up their noses at it in disdain. I commend you, people who are dedicated to keeping their heart rate up. Enjoy your smelly workout pods. Ill just be sitting here, on my couch, watching the flesh accumulate around my middle.

‘I will always look for a solution and action’ | DC fitness instructor uses platform to support The Bail Project – WUSA9.com

Local fitness instructor decided to use movement as fuel for change.
WASHINGTON During the last several months, the spread of COVID-19 hit many businesses hard. Even though they are feeling the financial strain, some continue to raise money for protesters.
Gyms across the DMV were forced to close their doors for nearly three months. Many fitness instructors had to resort to online classes.
Even through this challenging season, one fitness professional decided to donate 100% of her income for the week to an organization called The Bail Project.
Joselyn Griffin is a local fitness instructor who has worked with SoulCycle for several years. She wanted to use movement as a fuel for change.
"I chose The Bail Project specifically because if someone is unemployed, furloughed, not making as much money as they are used to right now, or even in normal circumstances, chose to take their time and their body, and go out to physically demonstrate and be part of using themselves as a shield for a person of color, or an ally in the crowd, then making sure they could get safely home felt like the right choice for me," Griffin said.
The Bail Project pays bail for people in need with the mission to fight mass incarceration, preserving the presumption of innocence.
Griffin said the fitness community is a tight knit one in the DMV. They quickly started to lift each other up to see what they could do to support one another.
"Keep lifting up people that you know are trying to help spread, and share information as much as you are spreading joy," Griffin said.
Griffin decided to host several virtual workout classes where all the money raised went to support the Black Lives Matter movement.
"I will always look for a solution and action, even in the darkest period of times. I think as long as there are people who have that mindset, we will figure out ways to keep moving forward," Griffin said.
Griffin has raised more than $2,000 for The Bail Project. She plans to host two additional workout classes this week, where a portion of the money will once again be donated.

Will fitness enthusiasts return to their gyms when they reopen? – WHYY

Are you on the front lines of the coronavirus? Help us report on the pandemic.
For a long time, Carmen Hernandez has incorporated weightlifting, and classes at her local gym, into a larger effort to stay healthy and set an example for her adult daughters.
In conjunction with a healthy diet, the exercise is meant to prevent some of the medical issues the Hernandez family is vulnerable to, including high blood pressure. But breaking a sweat has never been more important than since she started working from home in March and saw her workload increase.
Its a big difference when youre home 24/7, said Hernandez, a Camden County resident. You dont leave the house, only when you really need to, not seeing other people it starts taking a toll on your self, your head, your way of thinking. For me, my stress-reliever is exercising.
Still, her beloved gym, as well as barre studios, climbing gyms, and swimming pools across the region, have been closed for the past few months to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.
That may soon no longer be the case. Gyms in New Jersey could open as early as next week, pending the green light from the state. Southeastern Pennsylvania gyms will be able to open once counties enter the green phase of recovery.
Which leaves Hernandez and others like her with a choice: Do they return to their workout facilities?
The answer is complicated and can depend on the facility of choice and personal fitness goals, as well as how much people invested in personal home gyms during the coronavirus shutdowns.
Between 30-minute virtual sessions with a personal trainer twice a week and fitness challenges she does with a Latina fitness group, Hernandez has figured out a way to break a sweat from home.
Reports of gym owners who reopened ahead of state orders permeated the news cycles a few weeks back. One gym-goer was arrested as he squeezed a workout in, but recent national polls suggest the majority of fitness aficionados might not be as eager.
An Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll conducted in mid-May found that if gyms are allowed to reopen over the next few weeks, just 24% of the more than 1,000 people surveyed said they would probably or definitely return.
A more recent Morning Consult poll, conducted last week, didnt move the needle by much. That poll found only 22% of the 1,500 people it surveyed were comfortable going back to the gym.
For now, Hernandez stands with the majority and plans to wait at least a month to see what precautions facilities take, how they work out glitches, and how gym-goers respond to changes. Pre-pandemic, Hernandez said, there were plenty of members who ignored machine etiquette.
How many times do you see somebody get off a treadmill and just walk away, dont even wipe it down? she asked.
Nelly Gonzalez, a fitness enthusiast in Philadelphia who teaches group classes after work, plans to wait until 2021. She misses the sense of community her group classes offer, she said, but its that very communal environment she sees as a potential way to spread the coronavirus.
Its just harder to control your breathing when in the thick of an exercise, Gonzalez said.
As an instructor, youre yelling and screaming out into the gym with your microphone on, and its very challenging for anything not to spread, especially if youre asymptomatic, she said.
Erica Bernal, another Philly resident, said shell also delay her return to the gym, even though she desperately wants to go because her facility offered child care, which her two toddlers looked forward to, and helped Bernal work out without distractions.
[My husband will] say, Oh, go for a run by yourself, and Ill stay here with the kids, Bernal said. But its always in the back of my head like, I have to hurry up back home because the kids are so used to now me being with them.
The very perk her popular gym franchise offers is also a risk for her children in this climate, she said.
Toddlers are not going to adhere to all the guidelines that are necessary to keep them safe, said Bernal. They put everything in their mouth, theyre not going to keep their mask on when they see other kids, theyre not going to stay six feet away from them.
Bernal is currently using a phone app to guide her workouts, and she has a twin running stroller she pushes when exercising with her children. She said it feels like the public is learning something new about COVID-19 every day, so shed rather wait to hit the gym again.
Of course, there are some exercises that cant be replaced easily at home, including swimming. Triathletes in the region and people who prefer low-impact exercises said theyve been struggling.
Nancy Lopez, a New Castle resident, has already been back to the pool after three months without Delaware allowed its gyms to open at 30% capacity June 1.
I feel accomplished when I swim, as opposed to doing land exercises, she said. Its something you could work your way up to, as far as stamina, quicker.
There are a couple of reasons Lopez was eager to get back into the water: She already thought her facility was clean beforehand, she has always been the type of person to sanitize the doorknob, and shes happy with the precautions her gym is taking.
Swim times have to be scheduled in advance, and people have to wear masks when they come into the facility to check in. Lopez said there are plans to incorporate temperature checks in the future.
I feel more confident in going to the fitness center than going to a restaurant right now, like I dont plan to go to a restaurant for another 30 or 60 days, till I see how everything pans out.
Lopez is of the mindset that living with COVID-19 is the new normal. So at the risk of being punny, she said shed rather just dive into life.

Reedbird Park Redevelopment and Middle Branch Fitness and Wellness Center to Break Ground This Summer – SouthBMore.com

A $23,134,000 Baltimore City Recreation and Parks (BCRP) project to redevelop Reedbird Park in Cherry Hill is set to break ground this summer. The park, which was once a trash incinerator and landfill, will be the site of a 40,000 sq. ft. Middle Branch Fitness and Wellness Center and four new multi-purpose fields.
Adam Boarman, chief of capital development for BCRP, told SouthBMore.com he and BCRP Director Reginald Moore were looking around Cherry Hill two years ago after a recreation center was proposed to be built at Patapsco Elementary Middle School. They wanted to see to see if there was a better location for the community. They thought Reedbird Park would be a special opportunity because the recreation center could connect with athletic fields and the Cherry Hill Splash Park.
Reedbird Park is located on the southern end of Cherry Hill along the Patpasco River and adjacent to Potee St./Rt 2. Boarman said its a beautiful site, but very underutilized. Along with the splash park, it has two basketball courts, two tennis courts, a playground, paths connecting to the Gwynns Falls Trail, and a large grass field. It also has a small fishing pier on the river.
The current location of the playground and sports courts, which sit adjacent to Potee St., will be replaced a new turf field with lights and bleachers. BCRP is partnering on this project with South Baltimore Gateway Partnership (SBGP), which manages half of South Baltimores casino Local Impact Funds, and the Cal Ripken Sr. Foundation.
Adjacent to the turf field, will be three grass fields. In a second phase, lights and a walking path around the fields will be added. The fields will eventually have a field house.
The fields will open before the Middle Branch Fitness and Wellness Center is completed.
The Middle Branch Fitness and Wellness Center will be located at Reedbird Ave. and Seamon Ave. It will be fronted by a new community plaza. The center will have three separate pools including a lap pool, a plunge pool with a slide, and a wading pool for kids; an open area with fitness and gym equipment; studios for fitness classes; a gymnasium with a basketball court; and a maker space. A second-story walking track will travel through all the different sections of the building.
A 100-space parking lot will be built just west of the center and just north of the three grass fields. The parking lot will need a City Council ordinance to move forward. With the City Councils schedule in flux due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the need for the ordinance has put the project several months behind schedule.
Knowing that parking lots in parks can sometimes receive push back, Boarman said the parking lot has 10 different letters of support from stakeholders in the community. Boarman said many Cherry Hill residents were worried users of this redeveloped park would fill up the existing parking spaces in the neighborhood.
BCRP has teamed with GWWO Architects and Floura Teeter Landscape Architects on the plan.
Construction will start in late August or early September. It will start with a mass grading of the site and a new two-foot cap of clean dirt will be added.
A second phase of the project will add a dog park and two outdoor basketball courts along Reedbird Ave. and a playground located in-between the sports fields.
Boarman said he would eventually like to see some evasive spices management along the waterfront which currently blocks views of the water. He also said it would be great to do a boardwalk along the water one day, but said that is not currently in the budget.
SBGP has committed $2.2 million to the project. We want to create a world class center that is beloved by the people of Cherry Hill, but also by the entire South Baltimore area, and can host major tournaments and events for the region, said SBGP Executive Director Brad Rogers. During this pandemic, we are seeing how critical it is for mental and physical health to have high-quality parks.
The redevelopment of Reedbird Park is a key aspect of the the soon-to-be-created Middle Branch Waterfront Master Plan. This plan is being led by SBGP along with the City of Baltimore, the Parks and People Foundation, and West 8 Urban Design and Landscape Architecture. The plan will design a network of world-class parks, trails, and public recreation opportunities along the Patapsco Rivers 11-mile shoreline in South Baltimore.

Colorados fitness industry starting to reawaken, but some studios will never reopen – Loveland Reporter-Herald

Buying Barre Forte in LoHi was the realization of a dream years in the making for Sage Fennig. She had longed to own a business that empowers people and makes them feel good about themselves, but only 15 days after she took ownership in March, her dream took a nightmare turn when Colorados fitness industry was shut down due to the coronavirus.
I live right down the street, Fennig said. Ive lived in downtown Denver for the past 16 years, so I really know the area. I know the clientele really well. If I had a dream situation, this was it. Then COVID-19 happened.
Twelve weeks after being shut down, Fennig reopened this past Monday. According to state guidelines, she can only operate at 25% of capacity, which for her studio means five students with one instructor. For Monday evenings class, five came to the studio while eight more participated online.
In the studio, it felt like a reunion.
Its kind of like family to me, member Sherry Ewing said. Im just really excited to be back and see everyone. I think its a good step to start moving forward. Its all about the community, just being together, seeing each other, having those conversations. Its just wonderful.
Ewing felt relatively safe, too.
I feel more safe coming to the studio than I do grocery shopping, she said.
Gyms, fitness studios and rec centers across Colorado are beginning to reopen in limited fashion under strict guidelines, but many are not. Gyms and rec centers managed by the cities of Denver and Lakewood remain closed until further notice, while Englewoods two rec centers will reopen next week. In Arvada, the Apex Recreation District has begun staged reopenings of its facilities.
Denver recreation centers remain closed due to the public gathering limitations, physical distancing, and cleaning and disinfecting requirements, according to Cyndi Karvaski, a public information officer for Denver Parks and Recreation.
But the Englewood Rec Center will reopen on Monday, by reservation only, for hour-long workout blocks. Each block will be followed by 15 minutes of cleaning with spray sanitizers by workers, according to Englewood senior recreation supervisor Allison Boyd, and the facility will be closed from 1 to 4 p.m. for deeper cleaning. A similar plan will be followed at Englewoods Malley Rec Center, a facility for people 55 and over.
The new state guidelines allow gyms to operate at up to 25% capacity or 50 people, whichever is fewer. Complicating matters is that some counties have received variances with different sets of rules. In Lakewood, officials are still trying to determine whether they can open any rec centers before August.
The city is working to balance the ability to operate safely under the limitations, recall employees from furloughs to open the facilities, and pay the cost of operating the facilities with limited users at a time when the citys revenues have dropped significantly, said Stacie Oulton, a public information officer for the city of Lakewood.
Planet Fitness gyms inCastle Rock, Loveland, Parker and Greeley have reopened, and all but one Denver location will open next week. Fourteen metro-area 24 Hour Fitness gyms are scheduled to reopen June 22, according to the corporate website.
Kindness Yoga will begin a phased reopening on July 1 with only one location operating at first, the South Broadway studio. Members received an email this week from Kindness conceding that we face the reality that not all nine studios will be reopening, but founder Patrick Harrington said no decisions have been made on which ones will close permanently.
Evo Rock + Fitness in Louisville will reopen on Monday, June 15..G1 Climbing + Fitness, a new facility in Broomfield that had been open for a month when gyms were closed by the state, reopened June 4 the day the new state guidelines went into effect. Earth Treks climbing gyms will reopen June 22.
Some studios will never reopen, though, and their owners are devastated.
Before the pandemic, Andora Freedom owned three Samadhi Yoga locations that she said were thriving. But after 18 years in business, she is shutting the businesses down.
It was much more than a yoga center, Freedom said. It was a spiritual center. It was peoples church, it was peoples sacred space. If your life was falling apart, you could go, you could just cry. You would be held in the energy of the space. Those people now are giving me the hope that one day Im going to get a life back, because now my life is destroyed. Ive got nothing left, and I dont know how the hell Im going to get through this.
She says she has been through a hellish experience and blames government officials state and federal for lack of support.
Its deeply upsetting to me because I find that my greatest responsibility is creating a sense of community for people, and I find that to be vital for peoples thriving, Freedom said. Knowing that I can no longer be that for people, thats pretty devastating.
Another studio that will not come back is Flex Yoga + Barre. Co-owner Sarah Mellick said the financial numbers just really werent there to operate within the severely limited capacity restrictions mandated by the state.
It was not an easy decision, Mellick said. So much has been put into the space and the community, and theres a lot of emotion behind it. Its hard to go out on terms that werent necessarily yours. When we closed doors on March 16, never in a million years did I imagine that it would be for good. We all thought it was just going to be a few weeks and we would be back up and running.
Freedom said she would be surprised if any yoga studios make it through this transition, and long-term financial viability is still a worry for Fennig despite the excitement of reopening her Barre Forte location on Monday. She has spent $1,000 to enhance her online streaming equipment in hopes of generating more revenue.
Were not going to cut it moving forward if we have to maintain at 25% and are not able to make up some lost revenue through live streaming and on demand-services or outdoor classes, Fennig said. I dont know if were ever going to truly make it, and if I am going to be able to fully see out my dream, no matter how hard I work.
