January 2020, Dan Hill popped into the gym for some late-night
exercise. He swam laps, dried off, and got ready to head home. But while he was
swimming, the employees turned off lights, locked up and went home. Dan was
locked in the gym, alone. There was a certain irony to his predicament: though
the gym had decided a few weeks earlier to close its doors from midnight to 4:00
a.m., the name of the establishment was “24-Hour Fitness.” Dan called Sandy police,
worried he might be accused of breaking and entering. He called his wife, who
suggested he find someplace to nap until the gym reopens. Finally, he took a
selfie and posted it on Facebook. Within 18 minutes, Dan was a free man. The
next few months brought hardship to a lot of businesses, particularly gyms. 24-Hour
Fitness went bankrupt in June, 2020. The Sandy location is now a place to by
home gym equipment.
