Several gym chains plan to reopen their doors in North Carolina on Tuesday, ahead of a possible announcement from Gov. Roy Cooper allowing a range of exercise facilities statewide to reopen amid the coronavirus pandemic.
For now, Cooper's order that gyms remain closed to limit the spread of the virus remains in effect, but Crunch Fitness and Planet Fitness both announced over the weekend that they are using a medical exception outlined in the executive order that allows gyms to serve members who have a medical need to exercise.
O2 Fitness and Orangetheory Fitness said Monday that they also will reopen across the state on Tuesday. ...
In a letter to its members, Planet Fitness said, "In efforts to respect your privacy, we will not be requiring medical documentation upon check-in."
Gyms aren't allowed to ask members for medical waivers or to talk about medical history because of the Americans with Disabilities Act and medical privacy laws.
Other gyms in North Carolina have opened their doors with a stipulation that people working out must have a doctor's note but they can't ask to see it.

Everyone who had ever been to a Doctor, has been told:
If you smoke, stop. If you drink, do it in moderation.
And, EXERCISE!
Yaaay. My doctor says I need to work out more. Done.
Re-elect Roy. He knows what is best for your health .....
“In efforts to respect your privacy, we will not be requiring medical documentation upon check-in.”
...HIPAA laws don’t allow it.
Will Roy require a written excuse from your doctor ....
Go to the gym in a BLM t-shirt and say you are there to protest. Maybe try to steal a piece of equipment as reparations. They’ll let you in then.
This is what anarchy looks like when conservatives do it:
Any questions?
Idiot Dem Gov is calling a news conference today to tell gyms they can open — only after gyms said they were going to open despite the Dem Gov. Dem Gov didn’t want the public to think NC gyms were simply going to ignore his illegal edicts.
Yep Roy is trying to hide and your post nails him
Wow ... thats a true on target point .... +10
