Anyone NOT going back to their gym when it re-opens after working out from home
There was a really active discussion that went on Reddit r/bodyweightfitness and I wanted to share with you my thoughts.
It’s really telling that most people don’t want to go back when it re-opens. I’m sure that we all realize that ‘low risk’ is not ‘no risk’ and in a time like now we still have to look out for what’s best for all of us. For the people in our lives that are in a threatened demographic, it sounds like staying away from the gym when it re-opens is the best idea.
Many people have build such a strong habit of going to the gym — it being an escape for them. Somewhere they can better themselves a few times a week.
Two quotes in the article resonated with me is..
“It’s kind of nice to NOT have to go to the gym. The home workouts have been killing it.”
“Not having to pay a gym membership? It’s pretty nice.”
I’m sure many of us have been experimenting with different at home workouts. The options these days seem almost unlimited given so many people have tried to bring their specialty to the at home environment.
I’m not here to really advocate for one or the other. Personally I’ve enjoyed at home workouts more than I ever have. Also who doesn’t enjoy saving money.
Some other important points to consider were..
How to properly maintain 2 meters of distance from people at the gym?
Can you effectively clean and wipe the equipment before and after you use it?
Should you wear masks and gloves during your workout?
I think discussion about this is really important right now. You really need to evaluate for yourself if you feel comfortable going to the gym — even if you consider the precautions companies are making. They may be trying their best, but is that still what’s best for you and your family?
