Andrew Cuomo said details on protocols for gyms will be released on Monday, Aug.

17.

Gym owners are hopeful they will get an official reopening date.

Addressing what gyms will need to do in order to reopen.

Newschannel two's gray liberatore joins us now with what is finally some good news for gym owners.

Gary, good evening to you.

Good evening.

This is definitely welcome news for gym owners across the state...as they too have been shut down since mid- march.

We spoke with jen venezio, owner of 'body by design' in new york mills....located in the back of the fitness mill building on main street.

Venezio says she is very encouraged by the news that at least the governor will finally be addressing the issue come monday...but is very skeptical as far as how soon she and other gyms may finally open.

She is hopeful that may happen by the end of the month if not sooner.

<tc : 16:02 i am prepared to open as far as what i know at this point.

We e uertain what the governor is going to expect us.

But as far as air and ventilation, spacing, entrances and exits, all of the signage necessary, yes that's been put in place for a while gym owners across the state will obviously be tuned in to governor cuomo's expected press conference on monay where he says she will address what protocols gyms will have to have in place in order to reopen.

And are hoping he may also announe an opening date.
