After gyms were required to close yesterday under new coronavirus restrictions, one sports club in Kraków has declared itself a shop allowing customers to “test” equipment for a fee and a church offering “religious meetings” to promote bodily care.
Meanwhile, hundreds of people joined a protest in Warsaw against the closure of gyms and swimming pools, arguing that if pubs and churches can stay open, so should sports facilities.
The health minister has, however, condemned “people trying to outdo each other in ideas for getting round the restrictions”. He tweeted that he is “appalled by the lack of responsibility…You are not only harming yourselves but endangering others – especially people from risk groups”.
In a Facebook post on Friday, the Atlantic Sports club in Kraków announced that, “since gyms cannot function, we are opening the Atlantic Shop with exercise equipment…Everyone who wants to test our equipment for a fee is welcome”.
Because the firm already has a business classification allowing it to carry out retail services, “everything is in accordance with the law”, said the club’s manager, Marta Jamróz.
