I Am Not Sure Of The Rules That Allow Gyms To Open In The UK,

the rules regarding things like this, at least in the UK, 


seem to change a couple of times everyday, but in Poland they at this moment in time they can not open, but a popular gym in Krakow, Poland, managed to stay open under new coronavirus restrictions by declaring itself a shop where people can “test” equipment for a fee, and a church offering “religious meetings” to promote a healthy lifestyle, over the last weekend, Krakow police entered the “Atlantic Sports Fitness Gym Squash Klub” fitness centre where a dozen or so people were exercising despite the government ban on gyms designed to slow the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Officers ID-ed both the staff and the visitors, but didn’t issue any fines, because representatives of the gym claimed that they were operating legally. Because the firm already has a business classification allowing it to carry out retail services, Atlantic Sports declared itself a shop where people could come in and test fitness equipment for a fee,
