LANSING, Mich. A federal appeals court late Wednesday halted a lower judges ruling and kept closed gyms and fitness centers that Michigan Gov. Circuit Court of Appeals, in a 3-0 decision, granted an emergency stay sought by the governor. After a lawsuit was filed by indoor fitness facilities, District Judge Paul Maloney in Kalamazoo said last week that gyms could reopen at 12:01 a.m. Thursday. That the public interest weighs in favor of a stay is apparent for the same reason, they wrote. Whitmer has planned to let gyms, movie theaters and places like bowling alleys which closed March 16 reopen in much of Michigan by July 4 if COVID-19 case trends remain favorable.

LANSING, Mich. More than 120 gyms are suing Michigan Gov. The suit also claims the Whitmer is responsible for some non-COVID deaths by closing gyms down back in March. Stress is through the roof and the data and science show that fitness and fitness facilities and working out help with depression, anxiety and stress, Attorney Scott Erskine said. Right now, gyms arent explicitly mentioned in the Whitmers 6-phase plan to reopen. Still, dozens of states have already opened gyms including Michigans bordering states which Erskine said should push the state to work with gym owners to move to reopen.
