NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — In addition to high schools, gyms and fitness classes are opening Monday in the city.
CBS2’s Lisa Rozner spoke to gym owners in the Flatiron District on Sunday about what they’re doing to prepare.
Gyms have been open for several months, but fitness classes had been off limits. But to begin the new work week, studios can hold classes at 33% capacity.

Last Wednesday, literally a day after boutique gyms rallied for a reopening, Gov. Andrew Cuomo made the announcement.
To attend a class, participants must undergo a health screening at check-in and provide contact information for contact tracing.
The owners at Bode Yoga on the Upper East Side said they are happy to reopen, but are ready to keep classes smaller than the 33% rule, to a max of 12 people.
This is welcome news for instructors who have been hit hard financially by the coronavirus pandemic. For the last year, they’ve only been allowed to offer private sessions.
“It feels excited to be back. People come here with happy energy. They feel good. They’re excited to go back to the classroom,” Bode Yoga studio manager Guadalupe Mora Sanchez said.
“I have been practicing at home during the close-down,” a customer named Irena added. “I cannot even tell you about the excitement and the gratitude that I am feeling.”
The state says there’s also supposed to be additional time for cleaning and disinfecting between sessions at all gyms.
