Governor Abbott-

Our gym is ESSENTIAL. Precautions can be taken to control the number of people in our facility, cleaning in between members, and social distancing is not difficult in our 22,000 sq. ft. facility. We do care about the health and safety of all of our members but if movie theatres and restaurants can open at 25% capacity which I know are not as sanitary as our gym, we should be open as well. Our members are to wipe down their equipment before and after use. It’s easy, our members are respectful of each other and of us. We pride our facilities cleanliness and mindfulness of the health and safety of our members even prior to the COVID-19 outbreak. The ones who are afraid will stay home but some of our members NEED us to open. We deal with depression, addiction, obesity, anxiety etc. And it is important for the health and safety of our members that we OPEN. We know or members, our community is struggling. They need their home for fitness "Powerhouse Gym" to re-open now. We change lives from the inside out, in an uplifting environment. We provide a facility for our members to grow mentally and physically.  We have received no government assistance even though we applied almost immediately. We along with the 29-employees we hire need your help so that we can survive and continue providing a very High value and Essential service.
