STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. A lawsuit was filed earlier this week against Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio on behalf of more than 20 boutique fitness studios several of which are located on Staten Island due to gym classes still being banned across New York City.
With movie theaters, billiards halls and catering halls having an opening date on the horizon, boutique fitness studio owners say they have been left out of the reopening plans.
