FOX 29's Steve Keeley has the details in Bellmawr. BELLMAWR, N.J. - A South Jersey gym will reopen again on Tuesday after their actions Monday gained national attention as they defied a state order that shut down nonessential businesses to help stem the spread of the coronavirus.
For the second day in a row people began gathering outside Atilis gym several hours before it opened at 8 a.m. The owners, Ian Smith and Frank Trumbetti have said the decision to resume operations at the members-only facility was not about financial gain, but rather a question of Constitutional rights.
Bellmawr Police arrived on the scene to speak with the owners of the gym around 10:20 a.m. when they asked the crowd to disperse or they could face charges.
