Sydney gyms and restaurants are becoming creative in how to keep staff on the books and business flowing as all-non essential services close across the city | Laura_R_chung

Flow Athletic has loaned 120 spin bikes to customers and will live stream classes so members can continue working out at home and feel they are part of a community.“It’s important to keep active, especially in an isolation-type situation,” Mr Lucas said. “[Members] need to keep active for their brain and mental wellness.”Louise Kennerley

Mr Lucas said while he was stressed about the new restrictions and what they would mean for his business, he was determined to get through the coming months. “We are such a united team and have a wonderful community that is so, so supportive, we know we will get through this together - it will be a tough couple of months, but we will be better on the other side,” he said.Regulars of Sydney's oldest pub in the inner city gathered to have one last drink and say goodbye to the staff at their beloved watering hole before it closed indefinitely.

When Mr Vojsk heard the pub was closing, he and several other regulars decided to make sure they were there when the last beer was poured. "It was surreal, everyone was really depressed," he said. "It’s quite sad but we were trying to have a joke about it."

THE LAST SUPPER: Pubs, clubs, cafes and gyms have officially closed | Sky News AustraliaPunters in Australia's two largest states have had their last meals inside pubs, cafes and restaurants for at least six months with all non-essential businesses in Victoria and NSW officially banned.\n\nThe forced closures came into effect at midday with government officials expecting the ban will drive up to a million people driven into welfare.\n\nQueues have already begun to form outside Centrelinks including a 100-person strong line in Marrickville prompting grim comparisons to the Great Depression.\n\nThe government is expected to pass vital stimulus legislation today to increase payments to welfare recipients and provide relief to the business sector.\n So how ABCaustralia justify maintaining its entire operation, much of which does not fall within any imaginable definition of 'essential services' whilst tens of thousands of other Australians are being stood down from their jobs? It looks like special rules for the ABC. the solutions are worse than the effects of the virus I used to own a cafe, most of these pubs cafes and restaurants won’t last the six months if not longer that these regulations are in place, this a really bad time for the hospitality industry.
