Unfortunately I believe all gyms will shutdown again

I don't think so, after the first wreckless shutdown many of the lawsuits against Governors brought up the fact that people literally need exercise for health and that's important during a situation like this, that many personal trainers are like physical therapists to people that need them and don't know what they're doing. In my state in all new EO's issued Gyms are no longer under "recreational" anymore. Doesn't mean we're safe from shutdown, but that's a huge step! I'm just lucky exercising exempts you from wearing masks here. I feel terrible for the people that have to spend their whole gym session with a mask on.

What do you recommend on the floor of a gym? I was thinking of getting 3/4 horse mats.
I am in the process of building, but I have 3/4 plywood for a floor right now.

Horse mats give off toxic fumes, don't put those indoors. Full rubber floor mats are pricey, next in line is EVA.

Gyms shut down in Alberta again even though a week ago our premier said lockdowns are not the answer and would never do that again lol.

I agree; my home gym is inside my house and on the actual floor. In addition to fumes, I also didn't want to deal with horse stall mats leaving black marks on my hardwood floors.

In the end I went with 1" EVA foam. I've dropped plenty of weights on it, and it still looks 100% new after 5 years of heavy use. In addition, my home gym is on the second floor,and when I drop the weights people who are downstairs don't hear much of the noise.

I bought mine from Amazon warehouse for $29 per pack.

Bro, take some colloidal silver, vitamin D, or if you have access to it, get ivermectin.
