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

[Anonymous]

I am a class person. I can’t exercise at home. I go 4-5 times a week. I can’t imagine staying home with two boys (wild animals) and not going to save my sanity if my gyms stay open. Not to mention putting on weight I cannot afford.

Time to buy a peloton?!

Lots of walks and hikes with the kids.

Can you take them to a nearby high school track and let them run around while you do laps?

Get ready for this new normal, possibly more than two weeks.

Can you imagine being in an icu with a ventilator for 2 weeks? It’s tough op, but these are extraordinary circumstances. It’s not normal pretending like all is normal. It’s not. People need to stop the denial and the hoarding and limit their activities.

Are any gyms closing? I know some cities are banning gatherings of people of over a certain number, but I haven’t seen anything about fitness studios or gyms. I went for a run for the first time in ages today to remind myself that outdoor exercise isn’t so bad now that it’s spring. Regretting my membership fee, though.

My father works in public health, and he thinks gyms are fine as long as you wipe equipment down carefully before using it. Exercise is part of health, and promotes a strong immune system. It's not healthy to sit around in isolation.

Op here. I can stay at home and avoid everywhere else. It’s the gym that gets me.

How big is your gym, OP? If it's not crowded and you wipe things down as PP suggests, it's probably okay. Crowded indoor spaces, not so much

+1 But I doubt gyms will close. I work for several. I think I may get a sub for a couple weeks.
