Like most other personal fitness and gym owners, Lloyd Little was celebrating Aug. 26, when New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy gave them the go-ahead to reopen their businesses starting Sept. 1 after they were ordered to cease operations at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic nearly six months ago.

“We’re really happy we can open up again,” said Little, who owns Lyceum Health Clubs, with locations in Ship Bottom and Stafford Township.
