A couple dozen people in Florida are pushing back on gym closures by pushing up … and squatting … with the scene outside of a courthouse Monday looking like a workout class!
About 30 fed-up fit people took over a sidewalk outside of a Clearwater, FL court to protest COVID-19 gym closures … and an overhead chopper captured the crazy scene.

Check out the footage … people screamed for local authorities to reconsider their ban on in-gym workouts — all while they hit the deck for some push-ups and squats!!
Some of the protesters also held American flags and signs … but, it should be noted, there weren’t face coverings or adherence to 6-feet apart social distancing guidelines for most of the group.
Of course, Florida has allowed several businesses — including restaurants, retail stores, salons and barbershops — to open up as lockdown restrictions have eased in the state … but gyms are still on the banned list.
Florida officials say workout centers will be allowed to re-open in some capacity when they kick off Phase Two … but no date for that has been set yet.
Sooo … enjoy the sidewalk sweat seshes in the meantime — BUT PLEASE DO IT SAFELY!!!
