Mysore/Mysuru:
Gym owners and fitness trainers in Mysuru are distraught as their only source of livelihood has been snatched away by the State Government yesterday after orders were passed to close all gyms across the State.
“While hotels, bars, theatres have been allowed 50 percent occupancy, why the gyms have been asked to shut down? This is an autocratic and highly partial rule that favours only one section of the business and kills businesses like gyms and fitness training,” said Karnataka Gym and Fitness Centre Owners’ Association President A.V. Ravi.
Addressing a press conference in city this morning, Ravi said that ever since the COVID-19 lockdown was declared in March last year, there has been no substantial earnings at gyms.
