Pilates and Boutique Fitness Studios Must Re-open in Phase 2

Pilates studios are small private environments - the opposite of gyms! It is safer to have a private pilates session than it is to get a haircut, facial or teeth cleaning!

This is a fabulous studio that has always been maintained in a meticulous fashion . There is always spacing by design.

Small boutique gyms are able to accommodate all the social distancing and other health precautions and should be allowed to reopen in Phase II.

Let’s get these small fitness business back up and running again!

Please let these small places open .

Small studios should not be considered in the same category as open access gyms. They are completely. Pilates and yoga studios in particular are not appropriately placed in that category.

Please bring these back in phase 2

Small private gyms also.

Makes no sense to exclude from opening

Pleas help us to reopen our small excersize studios in NYC so we can get back on tract with the well being of and commitment to our clientele and our and economic responsibilities. Thank you so much. Anthony Macagnone

There is plenty of space to socially distance in even the smallest studios!

Should definitely be open

Please re-open these boutique studios. It is an essential business to me and my health.

I need my Pilates studio, my health and body have been deteriorating during Covid, I need them back!

Please open the gyms/workout studios in phase 2. A lot of these are smaller places and cannot continue to survive without reopening. They will take all safety measures and precautions just like any other restaurant, or store, and deserve to be a part of the second phase to give them a chance.

Fitness studios should be phase 2

Please consider yoga and Pilates studios for earlier opening

We cannot keep holding small businesses back! Fitness studios should be able to open with modifications that follow all the guidelines now. We have all done what was asked of us and have stayed home. Cases are drastically down. It’s time that fitness studios get a chance to reopen and save their businesses. It is a community of wellness, encouragement, and hope which is something we all need right now.

PIlates studios are reported not to spread the virus due to the spacing and quiet nature of the workouts
