As hundreds of gyms and yoga centres in Bengaluru reopened, the response on the first day was mixed due to various reasons
As hundreds of gyms and yoga centres in Bengaluru reopened on Wednesday after remaining shut for over four months due to the extended Covid-induced lockdown, the response on the first day was mixed due to various reasons. “The response has been tepid on the first day of reopening of our gym due to coronavirus scare and strict guidelines, which allows only limited number of members to work out at a time,” trainer Vishwanthar Ramaiah at the Iron Cult gym at Basveshwarnagar in the city’s northwest told IANS.
In contrast, response at yoga centres was good despite the new guidelines also limiting the number of practitioners at a time to ensure physical distancing. “Though we have been holding online classes since April, many of our members came on the first day of reopening the centre as it is conducive to do yoga under personal supervision,” SGS International Yoga Kendra guru Niranjan Murthy said from Padmanabhnagar in the city’s southern suburbs.
In compliance with the ‘Unlock 3.0’ guidelines of the Union Home Ministry issued on July 29, the Karnataka government on July 30 allowed gyms and yoga centres in the state to reopen from August 5 with strict measures like wearing of masks, hand washing and maintaining physical distance by members and fumigation of the centres through the day.
