There’d be no way I would go near one now.

But even if I weren't a lazy slob, these days you couldn't pay me to go anywhere near one.



If you are breathing hard from exercising, a mask would be pretty uncomfortable, so it figures that people won't be wearing them and they'd be spewing viruses into the air and onto the equipment. If I really wanted to get sick I'd spend an hour or two at the gym and then head for a bar in Wisconsin.

Then you get on it, get that on your hands. Wipe the sweat out of your eyes. Boom! Hello Corona.

Most notably semen.

And if I'm working out, I may touch my face to wipe off sweat, touching my nose and mouth in the process.

You should not have been be touching face and mouth at gym before.

It makes no sense that it isn't passed through sweat.

They have not found evidence, but there are evidently no studies on sweat itself.

"There is no evidence that the virus can be spread through sweat." It therefore implies there is no evidence it CANNOT be spread through sweat.

I’ll wait.

Gyms will be a disaster.

Won’t be business as normal.

Was to stop going to the gym. And we were hardly alone. The place was a ghost-town the last couple of days we went.

I cannot imagine thinking it is safe to go back there now. What are people thinking?

Masks not required unless interacting with staff. So you can huff and puff and sweat out your virus all over the place. No thanks.

People share equipment at a gym. From exercise machines, to free weights. I don't know how gyms plan to deal with that. Prior to Covid19, signs were posted at all the gyms I have had memberships to be courteous and wipe the equipment down after you are finished. Its not a courtesy issue anymore.
If you are in a class - lots of people crowded in a room. I still have my gym membership. Will keep it but temporarily suspend my membership for at least the rest of the year.

Locker rooms with public benches, public lockers, public toilets, sinks and showers, steam rooms and sauna...

Training room with people straining, forcefully exhaling, aerosolizing their secretions, breathing hard and talking, virus circulating, settling on metal surfaces...

People will wipe down the machines with a disinfectant after use and they will think they’re safe.

Stupidest thing ever

and doing it in an aerosol fog of deadly virus particles.


KY..........

Sanitizer dispensers all over and wipe downs after every use.

But I’m going to pass for a while.

Max 8 per workout session. Lots of wiping down, etc.

Still, I'm staying away to see how it goes, much as I miss it. I'm older and don't want to get sick.

In Hong Kong.

There is a lot of vigorous exhalations in a gym

He allowed his patrons to come by the gym one by one to sign out equipment to take home. We use it during his planned workout sessions. I lost some muscle mass over the first six weeks of the shutdown, but I'm getting some of it back.

Tattoo parlors, who have experience in practicing infection prevention. The government is picking and choosing winners based upon their ability to lobby.
