Arie Boomsma, presenter and owner of a number of fitness schools, believes that it is the fitness industry's responsibility to get through this crisis in a good way as quickly as possible.
He made that known on Instagram. “We have to keep people moving, adapt, switch, remain optimistic.” He is concerned about what the lockdown will do to people. It is not going to get any easier, mentally and physically. Due to the new measures, his gyms must also close their doors until January 19.
Earlier in the year, when the gyms had to close as well, he is pushing for the reopening of the gyms. “The suggestion that a gym is more risky than a cafe, or a crowded train is not only incorrect, but also unwise.”
