Gym owners lash out after discovering government building gyms were allowed to remain open during shutdown

Gym owners in San Francisco have expressed outrage after discovering that gyms inside government buildings have remained operational for months, despite their industry being forced to close due to the coronavirus.

Daniele Rabkin, of Crossfit Golden Gate, expressed his anger at the Democratic-run government’s double standards.

“It’s shocking, it’s infuriating,” Rabkin said.

“Even though they’re getting exposed, there are no repercussions, no ramifications? It’s shocking.”

NBCbayarea.com reports: But a text exchange appeared to show they did have access to the SFPD Northern District Police Station on FIllmore Street — and police said Thursday that safety and cleaning protocols, as well as occupancy limits, have been established in department gyms.

“It just demonstrates that there seems to be some kind of a double standard between what city employees are allowed to do and what the residents of San Francisco are allowed to do,” said Dave Karraker, owner of MX3 Fitness in the Castro.

He said there is a slight silver lining to this discovery.

“What the city has unwillingly done is created this great case study that says that working out indoors is actually safe,” said Karraker. “So at this point, we’re just demanding that they allow us to have the same workout privileges for the citizens of San Francisco that the employees of San Francisco have.”  

Gyms for police officers aren’t the only ones open. A sign at the Hall of Justice gym shows rules for use as of July 1 for its patrons, which would include judges, lawyers, bailiffs, and paralegals.

NBC Bay Area asked the city for comment Thursday, and were told only that the current health order does not allow indoor fitness gyms to operate, and per Mayor London Breed’s latest reopening announcement, privately owned gyms have to stay closed until at least the end of the month.
