In a Facebook post, Longueuil police (SPAL) announced they had shut down a "secret" gym allegedly operating on boulevard Kimber in Saint-Hubert and arrested the owner, a 49-year-old man, after breaking up a large gathering on Monday.

The SPAL said it had previously barricaded the gym, but alleged the owner "decided to remove the barricade and enter."
