[quote=Anonymous]I haven't been to a commercial gym since the beginning of the pandemic. I added some equipment to my home gym set up, and also use a small gym at my office. While both were fine during the pandemic, I really miss the ability to go heavier on certain exercises (e.g., bench press, squats, deadlifts), as well as the atmosphere of being surrounded by like-minded lifters. Covid isn't going away, and while I can take precautions (e.g., N95 + lifting gloves), I'm still concerned about prolonged exposure to infected individuals who are asymptomatic (or who have symptoms, but refuse to stay home for the recommended quarantine period). I was a very avid lifter before the pandemic, and have been throughout it - actually losing ~12 pounds and getting leaner using a treadmill at home for cardio (it's much easier and safer to do cardio at home - and without a mask!). I can't live my life in fear of Covid, but I just don't know when to go back to a commercial gym.[/quote]
