CrossFit gym owners hope they can open soon
Some CrossFit gym owners hope they can be reclassified as 'sport training facilities' so they can open sooner.
By gaining the classification of "sports training facilities" instead of "gyms," the CrossFit gyms can avoid waiting to open with other traditional fitness centers.
The facilities say they are better able to control the number of people who come in and people have to reserve spots for classes ahead of time. They also say their buildings are typically large enough to spread people out.
