Last June the idea arose for me to open a "queer gym". This is a gym where people who are queer can go to exercise, a very nice initiative. Unfortunately, due to corona, the gyms had to close. I have been dealing with this since the opening of my gym. Private training courses may still be offered outside with no more than two people, I do this and there is still quite some enthusiasm for this. However, this is of course not what I expected from starting my own business and the revenues are still far from how they should be. In addition to the gym, I work as a freelancer in the cultural sector and unfortunately this has almost come to a standstill. I am a positive and hopeful person and so do not give up, it will come back on its own. However, I must admit that sometimes I do not fully understand the choices made by the government. A liquor store is seen as an essential store, but the gyms should close? This does affect me, it is very hopeless. I hope that the "new normal" will come out, we humans need physical encounters!
