Gyms may be closed for a year, so you better get a home gym set up now or you will shrink!

Some advice right there!

I am far too distressed at the cancellation of these thong wars to be worried about my own gains!  :-\

Vaccine will take at least a year to develop. Where do you think the virus will go until then? Do you think it will magically disappear so gyms can be opened? We are at the very beginning of this, not at the end of it.

Hopefully this is not sarcasm, plenty of MENSA candidates here on the boards...  ;)

Agreed.

Set an example for us - stop posting for 3 months while you build it.

Check back in mid June.

Not going to happen, we need to help eachothers in these tough times.

You don't understand the seriousness of this. You will. Eventually. And then you will look like a fool, and that's ok, because you're used to it.

For a year? No, maybe 30 days at the most

Why would the gyms only be closed for 30 days when we are at the beginning of the spread?

You think everything will be back to normal in the middle of april?

never thought i'd have to use the old dumbbells and bench again that I got in the late '80s, but now that even the gym in my condo is closed, i'm dusting them off.

Well I'm not joking. I don't see us getting back to regularly train at the gym anytime soon... I'm looking into home gym options.

Feels like a prison sentence.

Some people will come out after 12 months and all they did was watch Netflix.

Don't be that guy!

A year is not what I heard. As of yesterday U.S. major gym's are closed until April 1, 2020. I'm pretty sure this is tentative, based on what's happening with the coronavirus.

Update: A news article today says they are closed indefinitely. Indefinitely can mean that the period of closure is not yet determined. This is still a far cry from them being closed for a year.
