Title: Coronavirus - Los Angele - Mayor Orders all Gyms Closed: Is Gold's Included?
Post by: Never1AShow on March 14, 2020, 11:24:04 AM
Anyone seeing any effects?

More people, less people?  

Same old regulars?

It draws from all over the world, i.e. The Mecca.


(Update - Gold's Gym Venice is now closed for at least two weeks until the end of March)

Was packed the other day. Tons of international competitors that did shows and exhibitions all over the world. Probably one of the worst places to be and bodybuilders certainly put their training above the virus so its bound to break out there.

Were you putting your training above the virus or were you just stopping in to report for Getbig?

I remember back in 92 during the Rodney King riots.  It was still packed despite nightly curfew for a couple of days. Many extra fanny packs being worn.

Precontest training during a time of civil unrest.  Shredded waits for no man.

More than a few fanny packs were turned into the front desk, and boy those fanny packs felt heavy. We always looked inside... 9mm, .38, big ol' .44, and everything in between.

Hmm. Good question. I'm just a recreational bodybuilder but I think Gold's always goes by it's own rules. You have plenty of people risking their health anyway to achieve ridiculous physiques so Corona won't matter to them. It might hit bodybuilders hard though because many get compromised immune systems during prep. Several bodybuilders like Ferigno got bad pneumonia and shit prepping for shows.

https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2020-03-15/coronavirus-close-los-angeles-restaurants

Los Angeles bars and nightclubs will close and restaurants must halt dine-in service, limiting their business to takeout, as part of the city’s efforts to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus, Mayor Eric Garcetti said Sunday night.

Movie theaters, gyms and fitness centers will be closed, Garcetti said in a video news conference. Grocery stores, pharmacies and food banks will remain open.

The order goes into effect midnight Sunday and extends until March 31.

“I encourage all Angelenos to help support these critical small businesses — the restaurants we love in our neighborhoods — by continuing to order from them or getting takeout or delivery,” Garcetti said.

I have a backup facility on hand which i know for a fact will be accessible to me for however long i need and ill simply move the equipmemt to my garage if i have to.

Stupid media blowing this stupid virus way out of proportion with innacurate data. Someones head needs to roll over all this hysteria that the media is unjuustly causing. They (the media) are no serving the people they are hyping the whole thing for ratings and has been a problem for a long time.

So they are closing the gym indefinitely but still charging you indefinitely? What a deal. Sounds like the making of a class action law suit.

I can tell you all one thing-this virus will not stop me. A dislocated shoulder couldnt, internal bleeding couldnt, drug addiction couldnt, and finally, the corona virus and widespread fear will not. I will prevail and I encourage all of you to say to yourselves that it wont stop any of you either.

You’re just outside of the Palm Springs area, correct?

Yes, I was forced to close. Lots of unhappy people.

I hated that Bullworker exercise apparatus.  Made my elbows and shoulders hurt like hell.  Gave it away.

Anyone know about the charges at Golds Venice during this time? I know they'll charge for this month, but if this goes on for months it's hundreds in gym fees with no gym. Does Gold's have a membership freeze option? When one goes on an extended vacation or something?
