In December, a court ordered the closure of the gym, which refused to temporarily close its operations during a "dial-back" on high-risk activities in the latter part of 2020.
Ellison says Plainview Wellness Center will need to pay a $25,000 civil penalty if it violates any of the terms of the consent judgement. The fine funds will go to the state's General Fund.
Plainview is located in southeastern Minnesota.
