-Press Release, Henderson Police Department

The City of Henderson and its Police Department received definitive information that Planet Fitness will open its North Carolina facilities under an interpretation of Executive Order 141 to “allow members with a medical need to exercise.”

Due to the complexities of the “Executive Order” in this specific discourse, we will seek the guidance and lead of State officials and their subject matter experts.

Our greatest concern is the health of our community as a whole, and this will remain our stance in seeking clarification in this matter. We implore our citizens to use their best judgment and follow the guidance that has been established. We all want a prosperous and healthy community.
