Atilis Gym

These are shocking pictures — if you want to see a real-life example of a post-apocalyptic world, join me as we look inside a neglected old strip of stores in New Jersey.

Bill says the story of Atilis Gym is a real-life example of the dangers of government and abuse of power.

Ian Smith, co-owner of Atilis Gym in Bellmawr, made national news early on in the COVID crisis by defiantly opening up his gym.

The state wants to collect on a recent chunk of daily fines, totaling $124,000, based on the Bellmawr gym's flagrant violations of pandemic protocols.

United States Senate Candidate Rik Mehta is opening a campaign office in the Atilis Gym in Belmawr.

Ian Smith, one of the owners, called in to update us on the ongoing saga after the courts ruling today.

The owners of the gym have been trying to stay open for the last few months in defiance of Gov. Murphy's executive orders.

On principle, these guys had no other option but to bust through the barrier and kick through the doors that Murphy had sealed up.

The gym should have never been closed.

NJ had an explosion of gyms opening and gym membership. That may all change thanks to the COVID-19 shutdown of gyms.
