Are people returning when they re-open or are you staying away due to Covid?

I really need to get back but I've got the fear a bit.

They're not opening in Blackburn are they?

They will one day.

In order to return, I would have to start going. I get enough exercise from work and cycling.

If I went to a gym I wouldn't be going back. I'd be looking to get my exercise fix somewhere else. While the days are long I'd be cycling running walking or doing gym style exercises in the park or a field or garden. Outdoors is better anyway. Take up canoeing or rowing or whatever outdoors at a club near you

I go to a gym in Burnley (allow it, it’s cheap and near work). I’ll be heading back next week, tomorrow will be too busy, I think!

[RoverDom]

If I went I'd go back no bother. Assume they'll have some social distancing measures in place. 

[gumboots]

You need more space if you're exercising. 3 or 4 metres preferably.  Easier to just do stuff outside.

The old adage for gyms from before Covid still applies - walk, run or cycle to your gym. When you get to the front door turn round and walk, run or cycle home. Exercise done and lots of gym fees saved.

My gym is 12 miles from my house ?.

(But it’s much nearer my work).

I’m sure it’s illegal to take guns to the gym.

Will they be sanitising rowing machines, exercise bikes and other gym equipment following each individual use, similar to the procedures in the barbers?

They said they would, but they didn't.

My gym only lets a certain amount of people on the floor at a time, must book your time in advance. Glass screens up between equipment. Everyone provided with their own bottle of sanitiser to wipe down equipment.

Is it 100% effective? Probably not, but life has to carry on the best if can without a vaccine...

Nah, DW right in town. It’s super cheap, but you can’t park anywhere outside, which is annoying though....

I use that dw , I go when it opens at 6 so there is parking across the road by that strange Chinese however the new opening Times are currently 7 . I did use e4l for a bit but it’s a tip but there are rumours it will be a jd gym soon

Sounds like it being done properly. Which gym is it?

[Mattyblue]

I might be joining you. The staff at the DW gym I go to have just been told they are out of a job tomorrow as the gym is shutting. Feel for them, a days notice is just wrong.
