[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Disgusting. Keep spiking the numbers idiots. Well never get back to nornal[/quote]

Good lord. If you don’t want to go, then don’t go. No one is just going back to normal just like that. We are easing into it and right now that allows extremely reduced capacity at a normal place. No is telling you to go. Virginia numbers have been good even with all the weeks gyms have been open. [/quote]

As soon as the numbers start to tick up, there will be spikes at gyms.  There's no way group classes are safe right now.  [/quote]

Disagree.  At LAFitness, the circles ar 10 ft in diameter.  The door remains open at all times.  Classes like yoga and pilates are very low risk.[/quote]

What makes yoga and Pilates low risk?  Is the door open to outside and circulating fresh air, or is it just open to the rest of the indoor gym?  Indoor group activity for an extended period of time is literally the highest risk scenario for transmission.[/quote]

I assume it's because you aren't huffing and puffing, as well as the fact that you are staying in your own "breathing space" when you do yoga or pilates.

See here:  https://www.livescience.com/covid-19-fitness-dance-classes-south-korea.html

"The number of people in a class also appeared to play a role in disease spread: Typical-size classes, with up to 22 participants, resulted in disease spread, while small classes with fewer than five people did not result in any spread of COVID-19, the report found.

[b]Interestingly, one of the infected instructors also taught yoga and pilates, but none of these students became infected.[/b] The authors hypothesized that the lower intensity of these activities did not result in the same level of transmission as the high-intensity fitness classes."

As for the door being open (as I mentioned), it's just open to the indoor gym -- but it helps with the ventilation and air flow.

I don't worry about going to yoga at all.  You can wear a mask if you want (I don't), but I am at least 10 ft. away from anyone else --- and sometimes even more.  The risk is de minimus.[/quote]
