A group of gyms and fitness studios in Philadelphia urged the city to reverse its decision to close workout facilities amid the coronavirus pandemic in an online petition this week.
The Philadelphia Fitness Coalition, which represents 30 exercise centers throughout the city, started a Change.org petition that has approximately 3,500 signatures at the time of publishing. The group also made a public appearance Tuesday outside city hall to challenge the city’s mayor, Jim Kenney, who shuttered gyms for a six-week period, set to conclude in January 2021, according to NBC Philadelphia.
