Breakthru Fitness gym closing

Mickey12 · 09-24-20, 07:45 PM

I saw on Facebook that Michelle Dozois and her husband, Phil, are closing their gym due to ramifications of Covid. It's sad to hear of gyms closing. I can't imagine they will retire from the fitness profession. I wonder what they will do next?

I believe Jari Love's gym closed due to COVID as well. It's so sad! Maybe they will focus more on virtual workout endeavors?

Thanks, Kim, for posting. Both trainers having to close their gyms is very sad :-(

Seriously???

This is so upsetting to me and terribly sad. I too hope they'll focus on virtual endeavors. And then I wonder who else will not make it.

This is very upsetting.
I feel so bad for small business owners everywhere.

Agreed. I just read about yet another restaurant (very well known locally) that is permanently closing due to covid. This is the 5th that I've heard of (we're a university town, so businesses have been hit extra hard).

Their website shows online classes now so my guess is they will be focusing on that in the meantime. Physically closed but virtually still open.

I think the Breakthru dvds are underappreciated. They are all truly some of my favorites.

I believe YogaWorks closed all of their NYC studios as well. Many are expanding their online presence. It will be interesting to see where it all goes.

How sad for the owners and all of their clients.
