I'm in Indiana, just over the border from Illinois. This can reopen at 50% capacity but not all have yet. My gym is small and they keep the membership numbers in check. But who knows what 50% is. Just hoping the place doesn't shut down when all of this is over.

They should just post signs that read at your own risk and open them all up.

Totally agreed!
Everything else thts being implyed
Is just a violation of constitutional rights!

I’m hoping we open up here in NJ on the 5th. Things seem to be going as scheduled. Pretty anxious to see where I’m at but at the same time gotta be careful, definitely more susceptible to injuries not having touched any real weights all this time.

Maybe consider putting together a gym with some guys, that's what I did. Had about 12 guys, we all through in x# of $ and everyone paid x for the rent. One stipulation, you walk, you walk empty handed. Many years later the gym dissolved and the last men standing was my best friend and myself. 80% of the gym equipment and weights I have is from that old gym.

This is not for the person who wants to pay $20 a month and oggle chick in yoga pants. But then, you do the work in the gym and can have all the woman you want outside the gym.

I will say it....you have a higher caliber of friends than I do.

If I did that with mine, we’d have 12 chest machines and a leg extension.

Funny thing is about 2 years ago I bought a squating rack with 500 lbs of weights with a bench barbell and adjustable dumbbells (everything I need). I placed it outside under my friends driveway cabana. (He lives in a shittier part of the neighborhood than me, and wouldn’t fair well with my neighbors.

I did it for 2 reasons:
1. To get my friend into lifting weights with me.
2. For emergency use (specifically for gym holidays or if for whatever reason the gym might close)

well... I ended up moving 1:30 north about 6 months ago and left all the equipment there and he never even touches it. I have no room for it at my new place either. I was almost prepared...

Gyms may never be the same again from these commie retards. (Getting temp taken at door, being turned away if crowded, by appt only, limited days per week, etc).
Always been a home gym lifter, always will be. Most gyms these days are filled with IG flexing retards anyways, no thanks...

Gyms opened up here in Arizona - no real restrictions at my commercial gym other than some cleaning girls wiping everything down and every other cardio machine being shut off.
