Let them eat cake.
They must’ve been in bad shape to start with. They’ll blame Covid

Up there with “I absolutely will not run for President” and “leaving office to concentrate on family.”
thx fearpers.....
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.
They don’t lift things up and put them down
The market for exercising on dirty gym equipment right next to a fat sweaty dude in not what it once was.
I bet every one of those areas closing, a Planet Fitness moved in last few years. $10 month membership fee or Gold Gym $75??
PF moved into my area and knocked out 3 independent gyms. Can’t compete with $10 a month membership. PF has modern equipment that gets fixed pronto.
Those little commercial gyms are the whole fitness industry? Wow. Things have changed.
If the gyms were open, how would they get enough customers to keep memberships? Most people who work out don’t want to go in those gyms, showers and restrooms.
I’m surprised since you usually pay for a full year up front at those types of gyms , though I guess you’d have to reimburse people for the time it was closed.
Freepers here on this thread with the “they were weak anyway” posts... You all realize that Small-Medium Businesses DO often operate on a thin margin, and it’s ok, and that the system was already set up against them?
Then the government told customers they would be arrested if they went, and the owners would be arrested if they opened - in markets where a few dozen died.
Gold’s Gym should be Olds Gym...Most of them here are in old Department Stores or Supermarkets...One is in an old Winn Dixie...
I was just about to start exercising too.... darn!
