Poll: Would you go to the gym if they reopened tomorrow?

[G_Thang]

Like I asked, who caused the infection, the pretty girl who bump into you, or the dirty social media phone you didn't clean? 

24 hour fitness should have been opened 2 weeks ago.

Social distancing just protects you from potential aerosols, not poor hygiene when get home. 

[tommywishbone]

Oh no!!  I am much too scared.   I am horrified.  I am scared shitless.

Fucking retarded fucking question.

[galain]

We're legally obligated to wear face masks over here whenever we're in an enclosed space. I'm not sure how comfortable that'd be after a while.

I dunno - I'd like to start back. I haven't been since the beginning of March. I've been using TRX bands at home. I'm actually surprised at how much I've been able to maintain. Turning into a fat bastard though - that might be a reason!

[SF1900]

On the bright side look at tbombz. He wore a condom and still got aids. Then gets a lot of GH from it

Thought it was unprotected?!? 

[SF1900]

That’s because wearing masks is horseshit for the general population. In medical environments masks are used just once and often for less than 15 min or so. Covid is spread by physical contact and you need repeated exposures. An in-depth study at a medical institute in Singapore thoroughly studied modes of Covid infection, right down to the soles of their shoes.   

It’s spread by people either touching each other or immediately touching a surface right after a covid carrier touched it.

Masks as worn by the general public are useless. They just make people feel like they are protected. Kind of like a cheap condom lol

After a while, wearing the mask seemed impractical but I kept doing it because most stores required it.

[SF1900]

From what little I understand, wearing a mask does more to protect others than it does to protect oneself. Also, it really depends on the mask. This one, for example, would be a bad choice.

Did you purchase that mask??

Same.

I wonder how many people will hyperventilate and collapse.

As I've mentioned before, people that wore those masks as in the 'Creed' movie have had collapsed lungs from using them weight training.

[Methyl m1ke]

Found a gym in the Bay area that is open. Going on Saturday

Where??? I live in san jose. Willing to commute!

[Fortress]

Without a moment’s thought, yes.

I was lifting right up to the day before they were required to close.

Been working straight through this “pandemic” (oh brother) and couldn’t give less of a shit about it all. If I haven’t already been exposed to it, and I’m quite certain it would have been impossible NOT to have been in my line of work, I’d risk it in a heartbeat.

The chances of becoming seriously ill, or dying, are rather slim. And if I do, well, there ya go. Still wouldn’t change my tune.

Any given flu season presents me more threat than this Cornhole nonsense.

Open the fucking gyms.

As is usual my young friend, you are CORRECT.

X2 - I’ll take my chances as I do with many many other hazards & Viruses on a day to day basis
We all going to Die - No not that I particularly want to it just Fact some young some older.

I’m not liking being locked up / lied to / & dictated to. (I’m in U.K.)
This has al been a test run by certain people Frighten/ scare people lock them up & tell them what they can & cannot do or go, For our own Good 🙄🙄 And it’s worked very well.

What will Be Happening next a Big Recession/ Monetary Rest?? I don’t know,
I do know this isn’t all about Our Health & Lives they don’t give a fuck about them.

[Straw Man]

I will definitely go back
I was there the night they shut it down
probably safer now than it was then
I'm building a decent gym in my garage so I will definitely keep doing garage workouts too

[US MUSL]

My gym is reopening in an hour. It will be my first gym workout since March 19.

[oldschoolfan]

here is the old school view,  the coranal virus has been in the states since probably october. i have went to the gym regularly.  never got it, plus look at it this way bros.  i could get killed tomorrow driving to work, does that stop me from driving to work ? nope gotta make money.  so dont let the gay ass liberals and there coranal virus prevent you from doint roids going to the gym and getting a pump

fuck liberals
fuck those skinny weak slant eyed chinese sleeze  bags  who gave us coranal
and fuck aron singerman 

[Coach is Back!]

I’ve been fortunate. I’ve only had 3 weeks of down time, been back in the gym consistently for going on my 4th week. Open or not, still training

[Primemuscle]

Did you purchase that mask??

I'm wearing it at this very moment....in fact, I never take it off. 

[Notomorrow]

One good thing that will come from this is a permanent change in gym etiquite.  Before this, it was already a crisis of people in gyms leaving their sweat on machines, coughing and being sick in the gym, no towel to wipe own anything, not reracking weights, and the fitness industry had been discussing the problem for decades.

Now people other than alpha bodybuilders will say "Wipe your fucking machine down, and rerack your weights, I don't want to touch either." Hopefully this becomes a normal part of gym culture now.

[Fortress]

Will be adding a tablespoon of lysol to my preworkout shake.

Up until I broke my foot I was actually having phenomenal work outs at home plus keeping the diet super tight.... Been on lockdown since March 13.

Bought resistance bands, then more heavy duty resistance bands, dumbbells up to 90 lbs and a bench.  It was great.

Still training upper body now but it's not the same.


Now debating if I should outfit the garage with real gym equipment.

[keanu]

Nope

I respect this. One of the strongest guys here that went through hell with the virus states no. 

[illuminati]

Nope

Are you all fully recovered now & back to everyday life.
How long did it last with you?

Hope you are all good now.

Only way,,u can’t train forever in a tiny corner in your house with little bits and pieces,not enough to get full maintenance or results

Agreed.  After this, I think more people will be buying home gym equipment.  I was caught flat-footed when my gym closed, but I was able to buy a bench and some dumbbells before the rush started and prices took off.  I'm limited to what I can do at home, but it's better than nothing.
