Gyms in Giles County will be allowed to open back up today (Friday) for business.

Reopening gyms is the latest step Governor Bill Lee is taking in returning Tennessee to “normal” as he has said exercise is incredibly important for physical and mental health.

Fitness centers must restrict access to staffed hours, disinfect equipment regularly and only fill the place to half capacity. Amenities including showers, lockers, saunas and water fountains will be closed until further notice.

Group classes are allowed but sharing equipment is not.

Gym employees are required to wear masks and members are encouraged to do the same.

While most fitness centers in Tennessee are allowed to reopen, those is the major cities like Nashville will remain closed as they follow a separate plan.
