The owners of hundreds of New York City indoor fitness studios are suing Mayor Bill de Blasio for barring them from reopening their businesses along with the rest of the city's gyms last week

The lawsuit was filed Wednesday by members of the newly formed Boutique Fitness Alliance — which represents about 100 group exercise studios in the city — and the New York Fitness Coalition, which comprises about 2,500 combined gyms and fitness studios throughout the state.Last week, New York gyms that have complied with New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's coronavirus safety measures were allowed to reopen. But Mayor de Blasio stipulated that group classes were excluded from the reopening.

"A row of Pilates-related exercise machines is pictured at an SLT fitness studio location in Southampton, New York studio on September 8, 2020.A spokesman for de Blasio's office said the city's public health experts have determined indoor fitness classes are a high-risk activity for coronavirus transmission and preventing a resurgence in Covid-19 cases is the mayor's top priority.

I would say it is fine to reopen, if they employ enough people to wipe down all the equipment being used after each rep...

In Cali all of the gyms have moved outside. I wonder how that will work in the rain?

It's about time. New yorkers you need to vote these leftist loons out of your city before they totally destroy it. And it sure looks like this is going to be sooner rather than later

Let's not forget, many gyms in government buildings were open this whole time.

In California only government gyms are allowed and not private gyms. Also let’s not forget Nancy got her hair did

Not going to win. A health crisis takes precedence over anything.

Sue him?! They should just open up! What's he going to do, arrest them for trying to earn a living?...even while the city is letting murderers and rapists go free 'to protect them from covid'?

NY should be sued by everyone who lives there. First Cuomo sends 1000s of sick people into nursing homes then he demolishes every small business in the state.

LOL...tried it here in Red AZ and didn't work! Save your money!!
