“After the first lockdown, to continue the business, I had to sell the strength machines in the weight room, now I have sold some tools for artistic gymnastics, because it is now impossible to do it. What will I still have to give up to make my business survive? “
Simona Esu is a dance teacher and owner of the Simo Gym in Paruzzaro. «My gym is very large about a thousand square meters, so even if it remains closed, it has very high living costs of management. Who pays these to me? I have invested everything in this business; in the past I also had to face a serious illness, yet I did not give up, I continued, I enriched the offer of the gym and dance courses by continuing to update myself ».
«In the first lockdown – he says – I scrupulously followed all the protocols, the distances, I canceled the dance classes that could not be done, I made sure that the sanitization was accurate; in short, I did everything that was prescribed, and more. And this means having spent a lot of more money, but we were convinced that at that point we could resume the business. We stayed open for eight weeks with bated breath because it was never possible to understand what news rained down between head and neck, and then the last blow, the one you don’t expect ». Simona Esu is disheartened: “I feel bitterness but also a lot of anger for this treatment which obtains a certain result.our sector “.
