Quite likely now the OP is in Tier 4, in which case the gym would need to close whether the annex is classed as a gym or part of the home.

Why are you assuming they're in Tier 4 now?

Because from what I understood from today's briefing, everyone in tier 3 from midnight tonight is now tier 4

That's not quite correct. My area is a Tier 3 and is still in Tier 3 after today's changes. We are not all in T4.

As a result, the following areas will move from Tier 3 to Tier 4:

• Kent, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Surrey (excluding Waverley), Gosport, Havant, Portsmouth, Rother and Hastings;
• London (all 32 boroughs and the City of London); and
• the East of England (Bedford, Central Bedford, Milton Keynes, Luton, Peterborough, Hertfordshire, Essex excluding Colchester, Uttlesford and Tendring).

They asked the question just after the new Tier 3 areas were introduced.  Those areas are now Tier 4.  

You may be surprised to hear that there are areas of the country outside of London and the south east.

No, I am not surprised in the slightest.  It is purely the timing of the query matching up with those areas. 

A certain logic would indicate that if the OP was in one of the areas previously Tier 3, the question would have been asked a while ago.

Well you've misunderstood the briefing then. Tier-four restrictions - similar to England's second national lockdown - will apply in all areas in the South East currently in tier three, covering Kent, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Surrey (excluding Waverley), Gosport, Havant, Portsmouth, Rother and Hastings.

It will also apply in London (all 32 boroughs and the City of London) and the East of England (Bedford, Central Bedford, Milton Keynes, Luton, Peterborough, Hertfordshire, Essex (excluding Colchester, Uttlesford and Tendring).

Thanks for the clarification

Why hasn't she moved her business online? That could have been done straightaway in March.

Not really practical. It's all equipment based. Anyway just setting up online doesn't mean you're going to get clients straight away. I run a couple of websites and it takes months to get on the google first page. There's a lot of hard work on a keyboard to get there.

If *some* of the PT work could go online for delivery via zoom etc., couldn't she approach the existing clients rather than trying to get new?
