The COVID virus proved that our physical and mental health can be compromised at the same time. Both physical and mental health are equally important and are mutually inclusive, one without the other can cause severe implications on either. Due to COVID restrictions, fitness centers across the US were immediately closed and were deemed as part of the problem. Politicians made false statements without any science backing it saying gyms were super spreaders. How far from the truth! In fact, gyms were probably the safest place to be, as the healthiest people were there. As restrictions lifted, fitness centers were one of the last industries to be allowed to open. Unfortunately, due to COVID, lack of any State or Federal funding for our industry, the insurance industry not being held responsible to pay out business interruption insurance, and an uncooperative landlord, I had to close my Manville Retro Fitness Location. Despite this set back we have three other great locations: Hillsborough, Raritan, and North Brunswick. I’m very grateful for the opportunity to keep these three locations alive and well. Retro Fitness- Mission Statement: TO MAKE A LASTING, PROFOUND IMPACT ON THE FITNESS INDUSTRY AND THE COMMUNITIES IN WHICH WE SERVE, INSPIRING EVERYONE TO LIVE A HEALTHY AND PRODUCTIVE LIFESTYLE THROUGH EXERCISE, HEALTH, AND FITNESS, WHILE TURNING AWAY NO ONE, OFFERING THE BEST AMENITIES AT A FAIR PRICE. Healthy bodies and healthy minds have proven to be part of the solution to fighting and warding off these types of viruses. In most circumstances those who were healthy experienced mild symptoms, if they caught the virus. Others had severe and prolonged effects that included mental health issues. It’s clear to see that fitness needs to take a priority in everyone’s lives. Being physically and mentally fit can lead to a stronger immune system and stronger mind to fight diseases, viruses, etc. Fit, happy, healthy people live longer and more fulfilling lives. At Retro Fitness we are striving daily to give our patrons a world class experience so they can live that fit healthy life style.
