With the Coronavirus being the sole focus of the pandemic that we are all facing, there is another silent pandemic that we are having to overcome. This is one that is not mentioned as much as it should be. We, as health and fitness professionals, have been struggling over this battle because we do so much more than help people meet their physical fitness goals. We help overcome addictions, we help lower stress levels, we help with depression and anxiety. We help more with overcoming the mental and emotional well-being of a person as well as their physical health. The physical aspect of a gym is just the outer layer of fighting the battle that is actually occurring internally.
There are 4,326 California health clubs and 8,870,504 members that attend these health clubs.
Help us fight to open all fitness gyms, yoga, pilates, bootcamps, spin studios, martial arts studios, crossfit boxes and personal training studios by signing this petition.

I am hearing from so many of you about how the closure of our gyms is hurting your mental health and sobriety. We need to keep pushing because the officials in charge are still ignoring the critical role we play in public wellness. Text three friends today and tell them to sign this petition so we can demand the reopening of our facilities.

I'm now facing back surgery because I haven't been able to go to the gym to keep up my own physical therapy, strength training, and overall physical health. Gyms are essential in more ways than a clothing store that are still open.
I recently lost my daughter as a stillborn in May. The gym helped my mental and emotional state when they opened again and to have them shut yet again has my anxiety out of control. I NEED the gyms to open again. We NEED something to keep us going through this.
If the state actually believes they are doing the best for the betterment of the people in California, then why is maintaining good health through exercise NOT the best and most healthy avenue for the people?!
I work in the ER The nights are long and hard stressful don’t get me wrong I love my job but I also need a place to relieve my stress stay in shape for all the running around that I doI am off for the gym being open as long as everyone’s wearing a mask I don’t see the problem
Working out and safely is essential to my health. Fit Republic has extensive protocols to check temperature, on all members, use of masks, social distancing. State requirements in closure is punitive, not based on current science regard this virus
I am in
PLEASE OPEN I NEED YOU!!

I just had my blood work done and all my numbers were great because I am able to work out at the gym on a regular basis. Also, during these trying times it keeps my mental state in check. We need our gyms to keep both our mind and health in check!!
