OXFORD, Mass. — The water and electricity have been cut off to an Oxford gym that is staying open in defiance of state coronavirus regulations.

Prime Fitness & Nutrition has been operating at 50% capacity since mid-May, according to owner Dave Blondin.

Blondin has ignored previous court orders to close, hasn’t paid the thousands of dollars in fines and said he believes his constitutional rights are being violated.

“I can confirm that domestic water and electricity service have been discontinued at the building," an attorney for the gym said Thursday morning.

Town officials have said they intend on enforcing the judge’s order, saying in part they will be “utilizing the options offered by the court in a manner that avoids unnecessary confrontation, while serving to protect the overall interests of public health and safety.”

“If they truly chose to do that as a town of Oxford, you know, it’s surprising to me that they’re trying to rip down a business like this,” Blondin said.
