“Green pass, some gyms already promise to turn a blind eye. Those who respect the rules will lose customers”

Hard life for gyms. After a year and a half of closures and the need to reinvent themselves with outdoor workouts even at zero degrees, now comes the green pass which, of course, removes the unvaccinated from fitness classes or from the weight room. But this is not the problem because, as Cristian Laghi of Record Body Line says, “the green pass is better than being closed like last year”. The problem, however, seems to concern compliance with the rules of all gyms. In fact, from what has been reported by some Record customers to Christian Laghi himself, it is that there is some gym that does not want to join the green pass, even if it is mandatory, and that would gladly turn a blind eye to even non-vaccinated people. .

“Unfortunately I have had clients who explicitly told me that in other gyms they do not ask for the green pass and that they, not being vaccinated, preferred to move there. They practically will not come to me anymore because I respect the rules. It doesn’t seem right. the other that of fitness, except obviously those who take drugs, is a sector in which they are all very healthy and often do not even take an analgesic for headaches. How many will no longer come for the green pass? “So far I have heard 30-40% of members complain and say that they will not come. Maybe they will be less – continues Laghi – but the problem exists. Indeed someone has already asked me for a refund in money to be able to go and spend it in other gyms. It’s a bit funny that I have to give them the voucher that they didn’t spend at my place to spend it in gyms that don’t respect the rules “.

How did you plan to do? “What we can do is to continue in our line of correctness – concludes Laghi, who is also vaccinated – and also to hold the courses outside for the unvaccinated. Obviously I cannot help but be a little disheartened because, to The cancellations for the green pass have started, even the presale subscriptions have had a nice drop given the fear of customers of finding themselves in front of another autumn and winter of lockdown. The difficulties of previous years, plus the various cancellations and fears of customers, they make me foresee a really complicated new season “.
