Amidst several sectors that are affected by the pandemic, gym and fitness clubs are also heavily affected. Though life is slowly returning back to normal and gyms are back in business, they still remain emptier than usual. This may be a good thing according to the pandemic but unfortunately not for the gym owners.
Owner of Shankhamul Health and Fitness, Sanam Duwal says, “Though it may look like things are getting back to normal, the pandemic has placed a fear in people’s hearts and that has changed everything”. He further explains, “People are still hesitant to participate in activities like they did before the lockdowns. We used to receive about 150-200 members on a daily basis before the pandemic hit, but now we hardly get 50 members coming to the gym.”
