All gyms here closed since March. Hard on the businesses and rough on the members.
Madness, the new normal.
In California if you go to a gym you have wear a mask for any excercise unless you are excerting yourself then you have to workout outside
No cardio equipment of any kind.
No court sports.
No dancing
No showers
And I’m like “Dude I got weights at home. I don’t need you. I wanted the extra machines and cardio but hey, I don’t have to have it. You’re fired”
Hmmm.. That could work in restaurants, too. Walk in eating something until you get to your table.
Good solution. My gym (a Y) did the same thing but a lot of people are getting sick of it. I wear a small silk bandanna (under my nose) and then drop it immediately after getting in the door. Nobody has said anything yet. But picking up a weight is a great idea.
Today at a class, the instructor, a nice, thirty something woman said that the thing she misses most is not being able to touch people. She likes to pat people on the back if they’ve done well, touch them on the shoulder to say hello, touch them to correct their position, etc. She almost looked like she was going to cry when she said this (she was apologizing for having touched somebody she hadn’t seen for awhile).
This is so destructive to us and it’s ruining our lives.
Same thing at Gold’s here in Colorado.
I’m sure virus spreads from sweat. They need industrial size sanitizers next to every piece of equipment. Hose them down and let them dry before getting on or picking it up.
Wore a mask for the first time yesterday. Though they’ve been mandatory for months
Had to go to the state liquor store and they weren’t fooling around.
No big deal.
Also wore it in the big grocery store, that was probably unnecessary but cases have quadrupled here in the last two weeks so gave it a try.
Came home and took off my shoes and washed my hands.
People- don’t track mud into your homes and don’t track the virus in either!
Shoes are more important than masks IMO.
Looks like gyms will be closed again here. Identified as a major spreader of the virus including one patron who gave it to dozens and then died.
And we have some idiots right here on FR who think this lunacy is brilliant!
The Fake News have completely won on COVID-19. Even Trump can’t find his footing on this issue. Hysteria and fear turn people into abject idiots!
ALL mask mandates need to end NOW. HCQ+ZPac+Zinc is the CURE. OTC NOW, Mr. President.
i went to walmart with a mask on my wrist. when the greeter looked at me i held my hand over my mouth. after going in i put my hand down for the whole time i was in. technically i was wearing a mask lul. people glared at me and the recorded message about distancing played over and over but nobody approached me. the only other person in walmart without a mask was the hot blonde lady looking at ammo in the guns section, “i kid you not.”
I’m actually surprised any gym is open. For the life of me, I can’t understand why anyone would go to a business establishment during a pandemic where breathe heavily and sweat all over the place. It’s barely tolerable for me even under normal conditions!
I was just getting ready to sign up at LA Fitness using my Silver Slippers...err Sneakers card when the COVID hit. The gym closed down and remains closed.
At my gym everybody, including the employees, totally ignores the mask order.
I am a member at my local Anytime Fitness; they have the mask signs when you enter, and you have to go over a checklist of symptoms. After that, the mask comes off LOL! I’ve only seen one elderly lady wear the mask full time!
Sounds like the people at Disneyworld who were allowed to go without a mask so long as they were eating or drinking. They just made sure to always have a cup in their hand.
Planet fitness will require you to wear your mask at all times starting August 1st!! Screw that!! I told my hubby I refuse to wear one while working out!! I guess it time to hit the sidewalks early in the morning again!! Ugh!
Leaving a store today and a woman about 8 feet in front of me was walked out and was holding the door.
She turned around and must have spotted a ‘maskless’ me and let go of the door.
I caught it and stepped out and she just yelled MASK!
I said
“Your name must be JANE”
She was walking away and said MASK!!
Me
“I call you Jane because you are an ignorant slut!”
I have started wearing a body cam for several reasons but one of the advantages of it is ‘we’ will be able to see who the instigator is...
Ever notice how a ‘former drunk’ that carries is no longer confrontational and avoids most situations and is actually polite.
Well, being the person described, you can imagine the ‘sweetness’ that I show now that EVERYTHING I do is ‘on the record’ and I am still ‘armed’.
Other day I had a dispatcher tell me something which she later denied.
Funny how when I ‘emailed’ the segment to her that the attitude changed.
I doubt I will ever need it around her again.
If people ask what that ‘thing’ is I tell them it is my “I’ve fallen and can’t get up” panic button. <: <: <:
(I am old enough to get away with that line)
