Ruth Bader Ginsburg continues to work out at Supreme Court private gym, her trainer says

Washington (CNN)Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is continuing her workouts at the Supreme Court gym amid the coronavirus pandemic, according to her longtime personal trainer.

Bryant Johnson, Ginsburg's trainer, told the news outlet Law360 on Tuesday that Ginsburg, 87 and a four-time cancer survivor, does not want to stop her sessions.

"Everybody's been shut down. The only reason why I didn't shut the justice down is because, hey, she ain't having it," Johnson said.

Washington, DC has implemented a stay-at-home order and closed all public gyms due to the pandemic.

That should be the theme for this election. Everyone who is not a MAGAt, should see "RBG" everywhere they go! Pissed your candidate isn't the nominee? RBG! Want this policy instead of that one? RBG! Hate capitalism? RBG! Purity? RBG!

Gyms are full of sweat and air from people. Not to mention the transportation to and from. Very risky.

She really should have a home gym. For $10,000 installed, she could get a very nice one. I once had a $4,000 gym, but got it used and heavily discounted. I eventually had to sell it because it was just too huge. It took up an entire room.
