[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no way I would go into my gym to work out if other people are there without masks.[/quote]

You think people should be wearing masks while they run on the treadmill, etc? [/quote]

Actually yes. In fact, best would be not to make any of the cardio equipment available, just weights. People can walk, run, and bike outdoors.[/quote]

I agree with this. A lot of people are really missing access to weightlifting equipment, which is either too expensive or out of stock. Access to the weights area only, masks and social distancing required, would have been a logical first step for places like Lifetime, Gold's etc. Of course, the studio type places would have had a fit because it would leave them out. Those really shouldn't open until phase 3 (and I say this as someone who is in OTF withdrawal).[/quote]

It's not any different than missing cardio. You can use body weight, books, jugs, sand, snow melt (seriously heavy). Everyone misses their routine, and while there's some modification we can all do (cardio vs. weights), everyone's longing for accessibility of a gym. And neither is necessarily more/less risky. But maybe the grunters will take it down, and maybe people will finally realizing leaning/holding the cardio machines is a waste. [/quote]
