I cannot bear the thought of not going to the gym for two weeks or more

VIDA just closed. They will get my business when this is all over.

I’m a member of Equinox but am seriously disturbed with how they’ve handled this.

And they are probably better positioned to weather this storm than the smaller boutique fitness centers. Maybe they believe Trump when he says that we’ll be down to 5 cases ... last week?

My husband is a member of Lifetime, and I'm a member of Orange Theory, and I'm disturbed and appalled by how both are handling this. At least OTF has been sending emails out about how they're keeping the facility clean (suposedly). Lifetime has been absolute radio silence. They are communicating via their FB group but the fact that they haven't just closed outright is outrageous.

I’m at Solidcore and while I adore the studio, the willful ignorance about the need to close is hard to watch. They went from “keep high fiving” to “just elbow bump” to “you get your own clean machine it’s awesome.” All of it ignores the intentional gathering of people from different households, any of whom could be infected and a vector of infection. Flatten the curve. Non-essential group activities need to be shut down by the government because the financial disincentive for the gym to do it voluntarily is immense, and the lack of awareness or concern from clients makes a voluntary cessation unlikely.

Didn't the parent company of Equinox donate to Trump?

It was a soulcycle campaign fundraiser, right? I don’t want to be too cynical, but maybe Equinox corporate headquarters is telling everyone to stay the course; everything is fine.

Here at least is an article from Life Time on how to support your immune system:

Instructors within gyms are beginning to cancel their individual classes.

Corepower nut I go daily-

They did the “the doors open all good” and the “make reservations so it’s only small classes” to closed. I’m glad.


People if your fitness can’t adapt to two weeks without machines you may want to view this as a chance to get more fit!

Eh. The classes at solidcore are so small that, while still riskier than staying at home, are much less risky than larger classes with varied equipment, etc. Flatten the curve and don't go. Plenty of people will voluntarily stay away.

So glad VIDA is temp. closed. I had been staying away, but my DH was insistent on going.

My work gym closed and I'm so glad. Because I did want to go in, so much, but I knew it would be the wrong choice. I'm glad they made it for me.
