San Francisco Government Buildings Keep Gyms Open, Crush Private Gym Owners
NBC Bay Area ^ | 9/3/2020 | Jckie Ward

For months, the city of San Francisco health order has prevented local gyms from opening its doors, but some city-owned gyms have been back open for months and are allowing city employees to use them, crushing private gym owners.

“It’s shocking, it’s infuriating,” said Daniele Rabkin from Crossfit Golden Gate.

She said she has done everything she can to keep her gym on Sutter Street alive.

“Even though they’re getting exposed, there are no repercussions, no ramifications? It’s shocking,” she said.

Rabkin even reached out to a couple police officers she knows in the neighborhood asking them if they needed a place to work out since their station gym was supposedly closed.

But a text exchange appeared to show they did have access to the SFPD Northern District Police Station on FIllmore Street -- and police said Thursday that safety and cleaning protocols, as well as occupancy limits, have been established in department gyms.

“It just demonstrates that there seems to be some kind of a double standard between what city employees are allowed to do and what the residents of San Francisco are allowed to do,” said Dave Karraker, owner of MX3 Fitness in the Castro.

That’s certainly the truth. Just amazing how blatant they are about it.

While showing they aren't in this least bit worried about COVID. Hmm... Wonder if they know something that we don't know?

Anyhow, can't say I'm shocked. This is California where the state legislature has their own DMV.

Ah, but these are government gyms. That makes all the difference. The Wuhan/CCP virus is smart enough to distinguish a government gym from an evil, money-grubbing capitalist gym just as it can tell the difference between black lives matter protestors and end-the-shutdown protestors.

Like Linus’s Great Pumpkin, the virus can recognize a ‘sincere’ gym.

Never. The good ones are busily leaving SF, because the place is a loss. Some non-luxury non-premium median smallish 2 bedroom apartments are going for $8000 a month there.

Nowhere to swim in SF except maybe the gay bath houses. Bike? Sure, have fun sucking in all the smog. Hike or power walk? Through the acres of human feces, needles and urine - sure, that’s a good idea.
