Why Gyms Are Essential to Our Comeback From Covid

Dealing with the unforeseen challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has taken a significant toll on people all across the world. Every single human, some way, some how, has been affected as we are ALL living in a page of history with different gets crossed that we come out healthy and secure with our jobs as small businesses owners. 

The big question is, when can we get back to normal?

How can we turn the nonessential health & wellness centers into essential businesses?

In the wake of a global health pandemic, easing back into our usual fitness routines can induce a range of challenges, as well as uncertainties/worries around which activities are safe to do & when.

I’ll raise my hand first & say with certainty that continued physical inactivity will bring catastrophic consequences for our physical & mental health, not to mention that of the economy & environment.

Health & wellness centers are essential for so many reasons. The most important being, regular aerobic exercise increases your immunological fitness. In other words, exercise increases blood flow & mobilizes white blood cells, one of the main defences against harmful microbes. Regular exercise also guards against obesity & decreases the risk for hypertension, type 2 diabetes, & cardiovascular disease, three of the most important underlying conditions that impact the fight against COVID-19! 

My fellow health and fitness business owners & I strongly believe that we should be categorized as “essential” by the Governor. Our hope is that you can speak up for us and help us be a part of the solution in the fight against COVID-19!
