A gym in California has refused to shut down, in defiance of Gov. Gavin Newsom's orders in the wake of rising coronavirus cases and hospitalizations.
The gym's owner calls the governor's orders nothing more than suggestions.
The owner of Fitness Mania in Riverside said he won’t comply with the state’s order to close indoor activities.
