In the wake of President Duterte's announcement that the entire National Capital Region will be placed in "community quarantine", some Manila gyms are taking the initiative to suspend operations in an effort to help stop the COVID-19 outbreak.
Barre3 Philippines, a six-studio chain that specializes in ballet-based workouts, as well as Saddle Row, which offers rowing and spinning classes across two studios, made the announcements last night.
