Navigating the effects of the pandemic, including following mandatory measures to create a safe workplace, has been challenging for locally-owned small business owners - some closing their doors, others laying off employees indefinitely, some going out of business for good. For Tucson gym owner Chris Gartrell, sustaining his business has also resulted in strengthening the community through calm communication, healthy living, and a real passion for fitness.
