Support BSF’s Fight for Our Essential Health

When the threat of coronavirus hit, we closed our doors to help FLATTEN THE CURVE and reduce the overflow risk to hospitals, not to eradicate the virus. But if it was, the gym should be the first place to open. The CDC lists obesity and diabetes and two severe risk factors to complications with COVID19 and yet the only recommendations is to take prescribed medications! Nothing about diet or nutrition. Nothing about activity levels or working out. Our members are struggling with depression, suicidal thoughts, weight gain, strife at home, and worse - unnecessary death. We are refusing to standby by while the science shows the benefits of working out under the supervision of a professional like at a gym. The science shows the benefits of resistance training over cardio or a walk outside. The science shows the well know flu is more deadly than COVID19. The science shows that herd immunity works making the gym and it’s members the best people to help create that! We are standing up for our members, our community, our fellow small business owners. We won’t let others die unnecessarily from suicide, depression OR COVID because ALL LIVES are important - not just ones with COVID. The Heath Department is fining our club $3,000 a day until the order expires. They have also threatened our members with the same fine and now have a temporary restraining order against us. Next court date for preliminary injunction is aug 31 to be heard. Now with legal fees, the city is suing us as well. It is our right to assemble. It is our right to health and fitness. It is our right to work. Stand with us!  

SIDE NOTE: the police chief got an exception here for his police officer’s own gym saying it was essential. Isn’t that discrimination?
