SOUTH JORDAN – One year after closing their doors due to the COVID-19 pandemic, gyms in Utah started making a comeback, even as a national survey found about a third of former gym members will not be coming back.
"When we didn't have that gym, we lost the connection to the people we enjoyed," said Tyler Brink, a gym member at Life Time South Jordan.
Brink has been a member there since 2015 and used to go just about every day. Like so many other gym members, he was forced to change gears when gyms shut their doors in March 2020. Brink did what he could to exercise at home.
