We are not giving up! Thank you @RepDeanPhillips for continuing to push for the relief that gyms and other hard-hit industries desperately need! #GYMSAct @GymsCoalition @IHRSA Reconciliation Bill

The #fitness industry is one of the hardest hit, longest shut down in NYC, YET most beneficial to everyone's health. @SenSchumer #SupportNYCgyms #GYMsAct

The character demonstrated by so many in the fitness industry has been extraordinary. Despite no relief, continued restrictions and many months of no revenue - CFA members have persevered and stay committed to the health of CA. Pls Support @GYMSAct @SenPadilla @SenSchumer

Community gyms need relief, and we need your help to get it. Join us and ask your member of Congress to save local gyms: gymscoalition.org/get-involv…

The @GymsCoalition’s #GYMSAct is essential to help small gyms and fitness studios recover from the impact of COVID-19.
Contact your member of Congress and ask them to help. bit.ly/32NzJMM

Upwards of 43,000 emails have been sent to Congress asking that they support the #GYMSAct. With lawmakers currently discussing what to include in the next relief bill, we need to take more action. Tell your Senators that gyms cannot be left out again. bit.ly/3rBEtjN

Last week, the #GYMSAct gained support from @senatorbennet 👏We also launched a Senate campaign to ensure that health clubs are included in the next reconciliation bill. Contact your Senator & tell them that gyms need relief and can't be left out again:

Last week, the #GYMSAct added six co-sponsors each to the House and Senate versions of the bill. These additions bring the total number of sponsors to 138 House Reps. and 8 Senators. Gain more support by taking action today! bit.ly/3iXwknc

With almost 34,000 emails sent to Congress, the #GYMSAct has gained 128 House sponsors. @RepMikeQuigley & @RepBrianFitz recently sent a letter to @POTUS to ask that he include the bill in any future relief package. bit.ly/3prDnpw

It’s wonderful to see NYC coming back, but there’s no doubt that some of the most consistently vacant storefronts are fitness businesses - this is true nationwide
Please follow @GymsCoalition + urge your representatives to support #GYMSAct
Pass it on!

PPP (Paycheck Protection Program) has failed to help ⅔ of local gyms and fitness studios because their cost structures include high fixed costs other than payroll. #GYMSAct @Tcardenas @BradSherman @SenFeinstein @MikeLevin

The #GYMSAct would bolster tens of thousands of gyms supporting tens of thousands of jobs. The gym industry has a closure rate five times higher than the restaurant industry and one third higher than the bar and nightclub industry. @Tcardenas @BradSherman @SenFeinstein

1.4 million fitness professionals have lost their jobs (44% of jobs in the industry). $20.4 billion in lost revenue through December 202, a 58% decline from 2019. #GYMSAct @Tcardenas @BradSherman @SenFeinstein @MikeLevin

The #GYMSAct would prevent thousands of additional small business bankruptcies, while helping thousands of gyms reopen, expand, and restore NY to good health. @Tcardenas @BradSherman @SenFeinstein @MikeLevin
Mimi Benz retweeted
On average, gym owners have more than a one in three chance (36%) of going out of business before the end of 2021 if Congress does not provide meaningful relief. #GYMSAct @Tcardenas @BradSherman @SenFeinstein @MikeLevin

Direct aid for gyms and fitness studios is essential to helping my gym recover the revenue lost to mandatory closures, class size limits, and other restrictions. #GYMSAct @Tcardenas @BradSherman @SenFeinstein @MikeLevin
