[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Science?  Evidence of small gym outbreak?  Do you have anything to support this?  Story last week of trainer who exposed 50 people and none were positive likely due to masks, better airflow, and other practices.  [/quote]

I'm so tired of this being the argument. I think a gym CAN be fine if certain protocol is followed BUT this is a shitty reason to use because our contract tracing is crap, so we don't really know. And based on the DCUM folks on these threads, they'd be the ones refusing to cooperate with the contact tracers and/or failing to admit that they were at the gym. [/quote]

I'm so tired of your argument that people have no idea what's going on at their gyms.

Those of us who are regulars go at the same time, see all the same people. I take a class with 16 people (8ft apart), and I see the same faces every single week (in addition to when I workout on my own). There's no rule, but we also almost always take the same spot. I see the same employees, trainers, other regulars, many of whom I'm friends with and don't report on any cases. Everyone's continuing to show up healthy - as am I.

Yes, perhaps formal contact tracing is poor, but many of us have a network of people that we see and trust at the gym. I made it a habit 8 years ago and lost 50lbs, plus made a ton of friends. To me and many others it's not at all like indoor dining, because at least I'm actively working on my health and *reducing* my covid risk by maintaining my weightloss, physical, and mental health.

Also, the data just doesn't support gyms being a hotspot. But you do you.
