A personal trainer in Orléans is vowing to keep his business open despite being fined for contravening Ottawa's mask bylaw and a provincial order closing gyms. Ten days later, however, he reopened his business, claiming it doesn't fall under the order because it's a personal service provider, not a gym. Zachary Boissinot, owner of A Foot Above Fitness in Orléans, says both his business licence and insurance company classify his business as a personal training facility, not a gym. "Personal physical fitness or sports trainers may not provide services in a gym, unless that gym is in the trainer or patron's home," Roger Chapman wrote. He said he's taking precautions and hasn't had a single case of COVID-19 linked to the business.
