The Monday economic report and how it’s going for fitness centers
Workout routines either came to a halt or drastically changed at the start of the pandemic, when state officials ordered fitness centers and gyms to close along with other businesses.
Some people adapted — they bought equipment and gear to create home gyms or they spent more time working out on their own outdoors.
As stay-at-home orders lifted, fitness centers were among the last group of businesses to be allowed to reopen. So how it’s going?
MPR News host Angela Davis spoke with several owners and managers of fitness centers. She also checked in with MPR News senior economics contributor Chris Farrell on the latest economic news.
