OT: Gyms Open Tuesday

[MrsScrew]

25% Capacity. Masks on all the time.

All N.J. gyms may reopen soon under new rules

When gyms reopen in N.J. they'll need to restrict the number of people inside to 25% of occupancy and following other safety guidelines.

The No.1 question:Will showers be available?They weren't yesterday in Pearl River,NY.To me,no shower is the greatest health hazard of them all.

 

[Knight Shift]

Any word on restaurants?

sadly, no. the article says he's holding off on restaurants and movies because you have to take your mask off to eat.

I'm a member at Life Time. I'm waiting for them to send an email out about all of it. Not having shower availability will suck because I work out before work. No shower at the gym means showering at work ..ew...or working out after work which doesn't work well in my life.

Well that gives Murphy another 5 days to prosecute some more gym owners for opening safely

He really couldn't go to 50%?

And here I thought this would give us a break from people complaining.

No sure about going back right away. Most people are slobs and don't wipe the machines down after use so I'm very interested in how the gym is going to enforce that.

Why do you care what people in NJ think?

Because they slop up every thread with their whines.

And I think ya meant soot.

Apparently not an issue in 48 other states.

Now we’re complaining about gyms not being crowded enough. lol

My guess is once the summer season dies down at the shore, indoor dining will be permitted by Burgomaster Murphy

Perfect timing after the restaurant owners have lost their prime season to make money.

Which Lifetime location do you go to. I am in Berkeley Heights, have not heard anything yet. Not sure I want to go back yet. My wife and I ordered a Peloton which should arrive mid-September. May stick to that for a while.

What is Bac going to complain about now? :-)

Maybe he meant Fred Smoot? Good defensive back.

I go to the Mt. Laurel club. It's across the street from work and work pays for most of it. It's very convenient to get there at 6am, work out, shower and get ready and be at work at 7:30.

Apparently also known for his "offensive" skills ...at least on Urban Dictionary 😆

Poor restaurateurs.

Oh lawd! I did not know that and probably didn't need to know that. Somehow, I don't think Source will be using this factoid as part of one of his "I did not know that" threads.

So you’re the other guy always wearing Rutgers Stuff

 

[RU_DIO]

My gym has been open all through the shut down. Thankfully, it's located in my basement and has kept the kids and I busy.

 

[MrsScrew]

Poor restaurateurs.

I have a friend who owns the diner in town. She's finally able to get catering jobs but at the beginning she was hemorrhaging money. And people not wanting to use cash was costing her credit card fees too.

Is NJ not allowing outside dining? That’s what we’ve been doing out here.

Outside dining yes for a few months now. murphy's fav restaurant is the only one open for indoor dining.

There is one in Lacey Township, the Lakeside Diner that as of now, is open for indoor dining.

They were locked down by the cops and given a summons for being open. It is the same situation as the gym that has been in the news. The owner of the diner refuses to close. The guy running against cory booker is now using it for a campaign headquarters so it can remain open.

Figures. Sounds like Mayor Beetlejuice in Chicago advocating it was ok for her to go to a salon to get her haircut when no one else was allowed. You know, because she "cares about her appearance" lol!

yes, outdoor dining only. but the novelty of eating under a tent in 90+ degree weather & 90% humidity while sitting on the blacktop of the parking lot loses it's luster pretty quickly.

Yes I do think that is the restaurant.

 

[e5fdny]

I'll wait.

 

[RUPete]

I read a story on Restaurant Nicholas in the APP. They claim to be in compliance for indoor dining because they can open two walls to the outside. They also have patio capacity. I have not seen their set-up in person.

Another restaurant down the shore received some complaints as well, but was in compliance because they had at least two walls open. A place like Harvest Moon in New Brunswick can't open indoor because they are only able to open the one wall facing George Street. They have been doing outdoor though. https://www.app.com/story/entertain...cholas-barrel-roost-indoor-dining/5632564002/

After the vaccine is available,Murphy may make it mandatory for gym membership.

Excellent news. No longer have register on-line at Midnight trying to get the only spot available at my Y fitness center.

Based on the list of complaints here, the perfect new place would be a restaurant/gym/barber shop in a county park with greens fees for your favorite golf course included in your bill.
