We have never lived through a period where strength training, and the cardiometabolic benefits that are stimulated by strength training, are more important than they are right now.  

Kenneth P. Moritsugu, M.D., MPH, president and CEO of First Samurai Consulting, LLC, and former Deputy Surgeon General and Acting Surgeon General of the United States said, “Chronic health conditions impacting millions of Americans including obesity, hypertension, and diabetes can cause complications and significantly increase the chances of hospitalization and death for those who contract COVID-19.”

Local Government officials are taking away the only medicine that can actually help combat COVID-19 at this time and that is exercise. 

What we are petitioning is directly in line with what Governor Walz wants. What he wants:

1. No congregation.

2. Masks worn at all times.

3. If you are around someone outside of your household, it should be for a short amount of time.

We would like to be able to open our strength training studios to allow for one Exercise Physiologist and one client in one studio at a time for a 30-minute period.

This is no different than any other personal service business such as hair salons or physical therapy clinics.
