“This decision affects only company-owned gyms, mainly in our St. Louis, Alabama and Colorado Springs markets, and does not have an impact on any of our franchise-owned gyms.”

How bad is the Coronavirus in the three markets mentioned?

Public exercise equipment is not something that I would be interested in at this time, however, other people may not care.

I stopped going to public gyms a long time ago. I thought it was gross that the equipment were all full of perspiration. I used to have to wipe it down before I started my workout and my towel was full of other people’s sweat. Just imagine what diseases are on those equipment. I will never set another foot in one of those places again. Totally gross.

This sad to watch unfold. All because of a Really Bad Computer Model. Thanks, Dr. Fauci.
