Here's the news the gym lovers have been waiting for since mid-March when gyms all over the state had to close their doors due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Gyms can now officially open their doors once again starting  September 1st.

There will be required coronavirus guidelines, restrictions and precautions set firmly in place once you are able to visit your gym starting this Tuesday.

Here are some highlights of the new rules and guidelines according to a report from NJ.com.

Going to the gym was part of my daily morning routine. I am looking forward to once again being able to work out at my favorite gym starting this Tuesday.
