God bless you and your Mom. A lot of “men” can learn from you. Keep on living.Wait. You weren't allowed to wear a surgical mask? That's interesting. My mother (age 87) goes to planet fitness in Long Island and gaiter masks are not allowed.. Only surgical or cloth.
Can’t wear them at PFit. I’m dying with that efing cloth mask. Noticed today a lot of ppl on treadmill wearing below their nose
I think you are indeed paranoid, everywhere.I went back to my gym this morning....after going through the expected waiver warnings, being given antibacterial sprays to use, I went in to the workout area.
I immediately was disappointed that about 30% of those inside working out were not using their masks properly....as you mention, some not covering their nose, others taking off the mask totally while chatting in between sets, some with the mask all the way down to the neck, etc
I mentioned it to the two managers at the place, and their response was that it is hard to stop it....I suggested they have someone walk around fairly regularly and remind the clients
anyway, the managers themselves were using some sort of plastic face mask that was completely open above and below...all it seemed to do is bounce your breath off the plastic straight on, but would not stop germs from going above or below the mask and out into the surroundings
the managers took offense to my suggestion that the mask they themselves was not the safest looking thing, and as they represent the establishment, should find better safety equipment themselves
the end result was that, since I could see they were personally insulted, that I would not return, a mutual agreed upon solution
I had been a steady customer of this place for 12 years, and came to this place when another place owned by them had closed , so we are talking more like 30 years.
I am not paranoid about the virus in other situations that are outdoors...I have already been dining out about eight times and seen 4 outdoor concerts since these things were allowed
providing there is proper spacing
...but this disregard in an enclosed area gets my attention because indoor exposure is much more likely to pass the virus
than the outdoor events
my guess is that this place will not survive because I did see another customer concerned the same as me, and quit
the club
I think you are indeed paranoid, everywhere.
Me too and I'm almost sad for them. Healthy young people home..scared. Not me...I have friends that have not gone anywhere since this thing began..... I revise my personal count to 12 dinners out, multiple lunches, a wedding reception, and 4 outdoor concerts....I would imagine that is more than the average joe at this point
Me too and I'm almost sad for them. Healthy young people home..scared. Not me...
My ice cream count is up to about 33. Hahaha (Ok, so I'm exaggerating)
Sounds like a fun summer. Enjoy the weekend..looks like we will have nice weather.

Yep, I've always been pretty lazy and somewhat cheap and not particularly concerned with being fashionable, so I used to get 3-4 haircuts a year. Haven't had one since we started our quarantine on 3/2 and it's pretty damn long now. Since I'm retired, am considering having my wife try to do a mohawk or maybe shaving my head, just for kicks. I always did exercises at home and walked a lot at work, so I now do the walking at home - don't do weights, so never needed a gym. I miss sports, though - tore my rotator cuff a week before quarantine and have no intention of getting the surgery until we have a vaccine (I can live without playing soccer, golf, frisbee, and other sports until then and can still play disc golf).I wonder how many people won’t go back simply because they’ve gotten better at effectively working out at home/doing other things to stay in shape.
it’s sorta like haircuts for me. I was so used to squeezing in a cut every three weeks or so, but since March I’ve gotten pretty good with a set of clippers on me and my kids.

Kettlebells are free weights but I get you meant as opposed to barbells/dumbbells. Plus whatever works for you is what’s important.Count me in the done with commercial gyms crowd. I have always had a pretty solid set up in my house (smith machine, t bar row, shoulder press, cables, arc trainer, treadmill) but felt I needed a commercial gym to get the most out of my workouts.
COVID taught me that isn't true. I will not be returning to a commercial gym - no more waiting for some clown who is spending 45 minutes on the smith machine or dealing with nasty locker rooms
FWIW, I found that kettlebells provide me with more bang for the buck than all of my weight equipment - the workouts are harder and more intense, easier on the body (no injuries like I used to constantly have with free weights) and I can get a killer workout in 30 minutes a day
They are, but the workouts are very different... more movement and flow based and better recruitment of stabilizing musclesKettlebells are free weights but I get you meant as opposed to barbells/dumbbells. Plus whatever works for you is what’s important.
I had joined a gym in September 2019, and prior to that, I had never used a kettlebelll. This gym was a cross-fit type of gym (but not cross-fit), where there are a variety of group classes, where they do a fair a amount of body weight exercises, TRX bands, rope slamming, medicine balls, dumbells, box jumps, and kettlebells.They are, but the workouts are very different... more movement and flow based and better recruitment of stabilizing muscles
Something like the turkish get up (see below) just gives you so much "bang for the buck"

#CLJust curious on why you are afraid of getting surgery done at a hospital. If you broke a bone would you not go?
I think I had a rotator cuff tear and couldn’t lift my arm for at least 6-8 months. I didn’t think it would ever heal but over a year later, I can now raise my arm almost 95% of my prior flexibility. The body does heal itself sometimes.Just curious on why you are afraid of getting surgery done at a hospital. If you broke a bone would you not go?

I also didn’t go to the doctor for a broken finger in the past but it took a couple of years before it healed completely.
To prevent injuries and live a healthier life, flexibility is much more important than bulk/muscle building, especially when you are north of 35. Put down the weights and do calisthenics and stretching.

I would have thought Retro is month to month, cancel any time.I stopped in at Retro Fitness in Belleville today.They allowed me to freeze my membership until October 13th,after which they would charge my credit card.What they don't know is the credit card that they have on file-as Ron Ziegler would say-inoperative.
I told them that I signed up for a gym that had lockers and showers,not some Huxley hell.
All I'm asking for is for them to freeze my membership at no cost until The Ides of March world is restored-at least most of those conditions.
Went on Wednesday midday. Was relatively empty. Had my Under Armor mask, weight gloves, and sanitizer in my pocket. My gym has 2 levels with the lifters downstairs and nautilus machines upstairs. Was like 15 people downstairs where I did a few exercises. Upstairs was just me.
They had tape boxes around equipment on the floor for social distancing and lots of signage.
Of course going after work or on a weekend may be more crowded.
They had a good check in process with contact tracing info gathering and a Covid questionnaire.
Wipes were readily available all over.
Hope it can stay in business. Looks like a nice fitness center.I just ordered the UA mask...should be here tomorrow. How do you like it?
My LIfetime gym has been a ghost town. I am there at 6am and it's always pretty busy. Yesterday there were 2 of us on the almost 100 cardio machines. One of the trainers told me that only 3 trainers have returned and that the majority of members have put their membership on freeze until January. The ladies locker room has 450 lockers...I was the only person in there yesterday.
they have done a great job "social distancing" everything.....
lockers with the stickers can't be used
every other sink
every other cardio machine can be used
basketball court taken over by spin class in order to maintain the 200 square feet per person

Ok, gotta ask: Is that just a fair maiden that works at Amazon, or a hulked out Amazonian lifter chick?
No judgements, just curiosity.
She’s a big, muscular personal trainer who looks very hot in tight workout outfits. She’s also very curvy.
Why should my freedom be dependent on others' refusal to take care of themselves for decades?Great to see one of the guys who's consistently cried the loudest about every restriction stepping up, putting his money where his mouth is and helping support the businesses that need it the most. Way to follow through!
Errrr.....giving them a fake credit card while ...still complaining.

I'm no risk.I trust the science,the nutritional science of quercetin,zinc,goldenseal,D3,DHEA,melatonin,and astaxathin.I've been doing this since 1985,the year that the Saudis sneaked Obama into Chicago.I wish that all health concerns were as easy to handle as is this third rate epidemic.Pretty sure you're one of the high risk coots we're protecting. Try again?
I know what gyms do.Major League Fitness screwed me out of 2 years of pre-paid membership in 2002.The class action suit went nowhere.In this case,I'm not stealing anything,just wanting them to give me the conditions of the gym for which I signed up in 2009.I'm just keeping leverage here.When the election is over and scam ends,I'll gladly return.Great to see one of the guys who's consistently cried the loudest about every restriction stepping up, putting his money where his mouth is and helping support the businesses that need it the most.
