[quote=Anonymous]Here's my anecdote.

I'm 43. I live in Northern VA, where gyms reopened in June 2020, after being closed for just 3 months. I returned, maskless (not required). It was weird and everyone was weird and cautious. Two years later, it's 1000% back to normal. Nearly a year of my gym return was pre-vaccination. And... I've never had covid.

For 2 years now, I've taken group exercises classes, often with as many as 50+ people. 48 of us maskless. I use equipment, both cardio and strength. I talk to lots of people, hug a bunch of people, shake hands, totally like normal. And to the best of my knowledge, I have not had covid - and again that's a year of gym use nearly a year before being vaccinated.

My experience from talking to others is that covid just isn't really spreading at gyms. Not now, not ever. I know lots of people that have gotten covid - but no one can trace it back to the gym. So... who knows.

That said, you have to weight the tradeoff for yourself. You know your own health predicament. You know what you need to feel safe and healthy. Cheers and good luck.
