Gym professionals and bodybuilders met MNS president Raj Thackeray in Mumbai to take up the issue with the Thackeray government . "Open the gyms, let's see what happens," said Raj Thackeray to the gym owners.

"I also had a talk with the Leader of the Opposition Devendra Fadnavis. He also said that gyms in the state should reopen. Now I am saying, reopen the gyms, whoever wants to come, will come to the gym. Let's see what happens, ”said Raj Thackeray after meeting the gym owners.

“How many days are you going to spend in lockdown? Everyone should take care of themselves and people around them. Centre has issued the guidelines just follow them”, appealed Raj.
