Eddy Ellwood's gym shut down by court after he kept it open throughout lockdown

Bit similar to the DeAsha situation - except it doesn't involve him getting a kicking...


"FORMER Mr Universe strongman Eddie Ellwood's gym has been shut down for three months after he refused to close it during lockdown.  The bodybuilder, who kept Xtreme Fitness in Hartlepool open in protest against Covid-restrictions, could be slapped with a stint behind bars if he ignores the ban.

Ellwood was told he had to keep the doors to his body-busting business closed until May 10 at the hearing at Teesside Justice Centre on Thursday morning.  District judge, Timothy Capstick told Ellwood: "The closure order should be made for three months."

If Ellwood was to use the gym for anything else other than for general maintenance, he could be handed a hefty fine or even a prison sentence.  Ellwood, who has remained defiant since the start of lockdown, branded his refusal to follow the rules a "peaceful protest".  He was advised to close the gym countless times by Hartlepool Borough Council, but the bodybuilder refused to comply.

He's looking much healthier at 57 than Ian Harrison is at 51 in that other thread

Could working out to maintain muscle be considered general maintenance?

Good for him.

Back in his time, he was one STRONG mutha.

It appears he’s also made of good stuff: a strong backbone and the power of conviction.

Total respect to Eddy.

Hail.

Yeah this is just the latest development - he's been fighting his corner for the best part of 12 months now - a lot of stuff on his Facebook page.  We both know you're not gonna click on a FB link  ,  so here's a taste I think you'll appreciate

I say let’s take back our power
The responsibilities belong to us as free responsible adults who were born with rights
Don’t fear the unknown
Stand strong and front it head on
Let’s take our responsibilities
Let’s live how we want to live
Work how we want to work
Love laugh and live our lives as we were meant to.
Respect those socially at risk
The elderly, those of ill health and immune compromised.
Surely that should be our responsibility to do, as grown adults !
The government has had almost a year to get it right.
But keep doing wrong!
We were born to live before we die!
Never let your fear
Decide your future
Fear doesn’t prevent death
It prevents life
🤗🙏💜

Gym in Melbourne recently fined for disobeying. Full force of government prosecution brought to bear to enfore a law that someone just made up.

Restaurants and gyms going out of business because no one wants to go there is a very different thing than being put out of business by government mandate. How long until "It's to everyone's benefit to prohibit drywall contractors roaming around, spreading disease, doing non-essential work."

Everyone's work is essential if they intend to afford food and not lose their house. Expecting these people to quietly accept being ruined is fucked. You could be next.
