2020-04-11T07:31:05.537Z


As the new coronary pneumonia epidemic continues, the government pushed a "closing order" on March 28, requiring fitness centers and other places to close for 14 days, and extended the measures to April 23. The fitness industry criticized today (11th) that the subsidy they received under the suspension of business was less than the 80,000 to 200,000 yuan received by other industries that did not require the suspension of business. They believed that the subsidy ratio was insufficient. More than 1,000 coaches failed to get the allowance because they didn't realize it. They opposed the government's mandatory requirement for the fitness center to be closed, and urged the government to increase the allowance to 200,000 to 600,000 yuan depending on the size of the center.

A fitness center of 100,000 yuan regardless of size

Although the second round of "Epidemic Prevention and Anti-epidemic Fund" has provided a subsidy of 7,500 yuan to registered coaches under the Sports Federation or institutions; fitness center operators can receive a one-off grant of 100,000 yuan. However, the fitness industry today (11th) responded to the measures, criticizing the lack of subsidies and unable to take care of a class of internationally registered coaches. At least 1,000 people were affected because they could not be included in the "employment protection" program for freelance workers.

Suspension of more than one month of subsidy is not enough to pay rent

The press conference convener and head of Muay Thai Fitness Center Ke Zunding worried that the fitness center may be closed for more than one month under the epidemic, questioning the government's subsidy standard, "The catering industry can continue to do business. You can only stop between 80,000 and 200,000 yuan. 100,000 yuan first? "There are a few large fitness centers, and the monthly rent is already 130,000 yuan." The coach pays 7,500 yuan. The rent is not paid. "If the situation continues, there may be 1,500 rooms by the middle of the year. The fitness center closed.

The industry has experienced the opaque registration system and most coaches cannot benefit

The industry also criticized that the government asked them to suspend business across the board and did not discuss countermeasures with them. Some attendees denounced: "In the beginning, there were a few orders involving chain fitness centers that required closure, but our business model is completely different." They believe that fitness centers can provide 5 square meters of space for each student in proportion, increasing the gap between everyone. Social distance.

The industry also pointed out that the experience of the registration system is not transparent, most coaches can only register with other institutions but have not benefited. Hong Kong amateur boxing athlete and 2018 Hong Kong boxing 64 kg champion Yuan Wenjun (Day Yuen) also admitted at the meeting that "I am the boxing general accountant for a year as a coach, and now I am not aware of my middle class.

Unclear definition of fitness center

Day bluntly, the suspension of business affects the livelihoods of many athletes. "There are so many faculty members who do teaching assistants. They simply don't have time to test coaches. Now they have no income and no practice." They are worried that they will eventually hit Hong Kong's boxing industry.

Eastern District Councillor Li Yuxin is also a martial arts practitioner. He questioned the government's definition of "fitness center" under the 599F9 regulations. "Lajin and dancing are closed. The Department of Health knows that the border should be included in the venue and seek legal advice." But the above-mentioned industries have not received any subsidies.

The fitness industry urges the government to increase the subsidy to 200,000 to 600,000 yuan according to the scale of the center, expand the scope of subsidies for registered coaches of many institutions, and establish unemployment assistance.
