But gyms didn't get the green light.

So, when will they be able to reopen?

???t news three's?

Kaleb gillock joins us with a look at the uncertain futue of fitness facilities../// katie and george... uncertain might be an understatemen t.

Unfortunately for the owners of gyms and workout enthusiasts... fitness centers are part of the last phase of the governor's turning of the s?calle* dial.//// some of the frustrations come from you know the back and forth.

You know this is the fourth time we've been extended.

Jameson hanson owns anytime fitness in byron and stewartville.

He is one of the many gym owners in the north star state left wondering when they can unlock the doors.

It's too bad that we don't even get the option to choose to open our business or for our members?

They don't even have the right to go to the gym if they would like and if they feel safe and feel comfortable.

In the meantime?

Coddington and other gym heart rate up?

In the outdoors.

There's a lot that's still unknown with this virus thing and it's good to take precautions and it also adding to the frustration for gym owners?

Hanson tells me it has already been a si?figure loss for anytime fitness locations./// thanks?

Kaleb.

Out of respect for the company and it's members?

Hanson says they have frozen membership fees during
