D.C.’s fitness studios need coronavirus relief

Grant Barker is the owner of Second Wind Community Fitness.

I hope, like so many others, that 2021 will bring a sense of normality. But in D.C., that’s still far away, with enhanced Phase 2 restrictions in place at least until March. As the owner of a small gym, protecting the health and well being of my community has always been my top priority. As a D.C. resident, I understand why certain restrictions were put in place, but the restrictions came with financial detriment and no relief.
