Owners of fitness facilities across the area hope a judge s ruling in favor of an Orchard Park gym will lead to relaxed restrictions for them, too.
In an oral ruling Wednesday, State Supreme Court Justice Paul B. Wojtaszek granted a preliminary injunction allowing Athletes Unleashed on California Road to reopen at full capacity, despite orders from Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo limiting gyms in âorange zonesâ to 25% capacity.
Wojtaszekâs ruling affects only Athletes Unleashed, which went to court to fight the stateâs Covid-19 safety precautions.
The lawsuit was denounced by Richard Azzopardi, a senior advisor to the governor, as an âargument based on crackpot logic.â
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (WKBW) The lawyer for Athletes Unleashed in Orchard Park says a judge has ruled that the gym is allowed to reopen at 100 percent capacity after it was initially fined $15,000.
Lawyer Paul Cambria tells 7 Eyewitness News that a judge found the fine and the closure to be “arbitrary and capricious.”
In November, a video made its way around social media showing a confrontation between business owners and Erie County authorities at Athletes Unleashed.
