For months, California Ripped Fitness has defied COVID-19 mandates in the name of constitutional liberties and kept its indoor operations intact, to the chagrin of community members.
But the San Jose gym has finally shut down its indoor operations, following months of legal threats by Santa Clara County and a fine that has snowballed to $1 million. They have submitted a compliance statement indicating they are no longer operating indoors and are complying with all public health orders, Santa Clara County said in a statement to SFGATE. The County is pleased that California Ripped Fitness has decided to come into compliance, and we will be working with them on an agreement to resolve the outstanding fines.

Robberies and assaults against Asian Americans in the Bay Area have them fearful, Asian leaders said at a news briefing earlier this week.
In 2020 in the Bay Area, about 700 cases of racism and discrimination against Asian Americans occurred between March 19 and the end of the year, according to Stop AAPI Hate, a coalition formed to address the issue during the pandemic.
Thirty-five cases were against elderly Asian Americans. Many cases, whether against seniors or others, apparently go unreported. Our community is fearful of being in public alone, said Cynthia Choi, co-executive director of Chinese for Affirmative Action, which works to protect immigrant rights, promote language diversity, and remedy injustice.
Calling it a "moral and economic duty," Rep. Anna Eshoo is urging Congress to support an emergency legislation package that would provide $160 billion for public health efforts to fight COVID-19.
