The owner of this Gym has publicly stated they would not allow gym goers to wear a mask. Mask mandates are over and have been for awhile so wearing one at this point is a personal choice. The idea of getting asked to leave over a personal choice that doesn’t affect anyone else that doesn’t affect anyone, as a libertarian, doesn’t sit well with me and shouldn’t sit well with anyone else either.
