You’ll have to sign in and wear a mask before you can break a sweat.
Gyms and fitness studios can reopen across New York state as early as Aug. 24 if they pass safety inspections and follow strict health guidelines, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced in a news conference Monday morning. Capacity will be limited to 33%, and guests will be required to wear masks at all times.
“Gyms are one of the areas where you have to be very careful; that’s why we went slow on [reopening],” Cuomo said. “The $500 million takings claim, that’s for not letting us reopen. We were kicked out of Phase 4 [of reopening],” Cassara said. “That’s not going away.” Cuomo “didn’t address mixed martial arts, hot yoga, or boxing. There’s nothing up on the website, and the local municipalities have no plan whatsoever. There’s no one to help us answer these questions,” Cassara said. “I’m happy, but we’re still a little confused.”The reopening plan requires local authorities to inspect gyms before or within two weeks of reopening. If local authorities choose, they can delay the reopening in their areas until Sept.
