(UPDATE) Bradley Martyn in Court After Defying Lockdown Orders

Bradley Martyn finds himself in a pretty tough spot.

The bodybuilding personality and entrepreneur has had a major influence on the culture. Because of that it comes as no surprise that the competitive bodybuilder turned business owner named his gym Zoo Culture.

The viral popularity of Bradley Martyn and his insane stunts as well as his motivational lifting videos has seen his star rise in recent years. With that popularity Martyn was able to generate massive interest when he decided to open Zoo Culture.

So when the global health crisis began to grow more and more out of control it came as no surprise that establishments like gyms were greatly effected. That includes Martyn’s own Zoo Culture.

Businesses were forced to shut down due to lockdown orders issued by the California Governor Gavin Newsom. Zoo Culture is of course located in California. So that meant that Bradley Martyn would be forced to shut down. But the gym owner and bodybuilding personality had other plans.

Despite being ordered to shut down, Bradley Martyn kept his gym open. Defying a government order is no small offense and as such, Martyn was served papers to appear in court.

Now it seems that things could be getting far more serious for Martyn. According to sources close to Bradley Martyn, the gym owner and bodybuilding personality could be facing serious consequences for his actions.

Generation Iron will continue to update on the status of this situation. Stay tuned.

UPDATE: Sentencing on this case has been postponed and a new follow up court date has been issued for approximately one month from now.
