fitness centers

Centers have been closed for more than two months.

They get to reopen june first.

...and while the state finalizes guidelines, abc 36's christy bollinger found gym owners know they'll have to make changes.

### take vo: for more than two months, cycleyou owner noelle dick has struggled...even with no firm rules from the state on how to re-open, she knows she has to be patient...and be smart.

Take sot: :12 "i've been told that we'll get them a week before we open and that's really not enough time.

But i know it's all they can do."

" "we know we're gonna have to do six foot distancing we know we're gonna have to have our staff wear gloves and masks we know we're gonna have to put up barriers so we're already assuming those things."

Take vo: the bikes and weights and mats are the same, but even before she closed, she knew working out would look very different when when her customers returned.

Take sot: :14 'so you're gonna see limited class sizes, you're gonna see physical distancing big time around the whole building.

You're gonna see things like offering the amenities we love to offer like showers, hair ties."

Take vo:clients will be asked to wear masks and sign waivers, they've installed sanitizing stations, they'll even soak the equipment after each class.

But even with the changes, customers already are filling up new class schedules... take sot: :11 "we know our clients if they said june first there's so many of them that want to come back so even if we come back in a limited capacity we'll do that and we'll try and make it work them i don't know if it will."

Take vo: while the rules may be different, the motivation for the customers and the staff remain the same.

Take sot: :09 "they come here for stress relief so it's our job to make them feel that stress relief when they come here and that they will feel like they're taken care of so we will be working hard every single day to make sure they feel safe and can come back."

Take vo: in lexington, christy bollinger, abc 36 news.
