Sonnemaker said the municipal code only mentions the word "gymnasium."
ATLANTA — Sonnemaker said despite their equipment, they are not a gym.
1a : a large room used for various indoor sports (as basketball or boxing) and usually equipped with gymnastic apparatus
b : a building containing space and equipment for various indoor sports activities and usually including spectator accommodations, locker and shower rooms, offices, classrooms, and a swimming pool
Channel 2's Craig Lucie contacted the city of Atlanta, and they said they cannot comment on pending litigation.
Sonnemaker said they are already facing $5,000 in fines. Other fitness facilities are keeping an eye on this case as well because it affects them if the city changes how they define gymnasium in their city code.
