Gym Owner Will Comply with Governor’s Orders and Make A $1,000 Payment to the Vermont Foodbank
Vermont Business Magazine Attorney General TJ Donovan announced today that his office has reached a settlement with Club Fitness of Vermont, Inc. and its owner Sean Manovill, resolving claims that arose from Manovill’s decision to open for in-person business in May 2020 against the Governor’s orders. At the time that Club Fitness reopened, fitness centers were required by Governor Scott’s Executive Order to be closed to slow the spread of COVID-19.
The Attorney General’s Office filed a civil enforcement complaint in May 2020, alleging violations of Vermont’s emergency management statutes and Executive Order 01-20. Shortly thereafter, a court granted the Attorney General’s motion for a temporary restraining order, closing the gym.
