Gyms Told Holding Exercise Classes Of More Than 4 People Is Breaching Guidelines

A group which represents the fitness industry is urging gyms to be very cautious and to comply with government restrictions.

It follows reports that some outdoor fitness classes were taking place in various locations around the country yesterday , including here in County Wicklow, with groups of more than four people.

Ireland Active says people are permitted to engage in outdoor fitness activities in small groups of four people during phase one, where social distancing can be maintained. But anything larger than that is breaching the restrictions.
