Name: Nick Keppler Athletech News
Category: Business and FinanceEmail: query-bjcc@helpareporter.net
Media Outlet: Athletech News
Deadline: 9:00 AM EST - 18 November
Query:
Hello,
My name is Nick Keppler. I am a freelance writer and I am
working on a story for a new publication, Athletech News, which
covers the fitness industry.
When Joe Biden takes office and the smoke clears from a tumulus
election, one of the first items on the agenda for the new
president and Congress is a new economic relief bill for
businesses battered by covid-19.
Gyms and fitness spaces were uniquely impacted by the pandemic
and many are still struggling with reduced capacity, changes in
exercise habits and the cost of protective equipment. And many
were not well-suited for aid under the last economic relief act,
which judged businesses by their number of employees, putting
businesses that hire independent contractors in a bind.
So what does the fitness industry need in a new aid package?
Requirements:
I am interested in speaking to owners or operators of fitness
spaces about their experiences during covid-19, particularly in
terms of navigating aid, and ask how would the next economic aid
package help them? How might it fall short.
Thank you as always for your time and attention. - Nick
