I live in a condo w maybe 50 units currently half full. Our gym is still open. Rarely more than one person in it. My SO was pissed I went and said that’s breaking quarantine. Ridic or should not go?

Wipe everything down and you're fine.

Make sure you’re wiping down everything before and after using it. Still obviously riskier than sitting in your house, but seems relatively low risk if you take extra precaution on top of standard gym sanitary procedures.

I’d still advise against it for everyone’s sake.

Go, get infected, then get your neighbors infected and when some of them die, live with it for the rest of your life.

Mine is closed. I would jump at the opportunity to go to a gym again. If you’re worried wear gloves or disinfect surfaces

like

If other people aren’t around, you disinfect every surface, don’t touch your face or lick anything, come back and immediately shower.. I feel like that should be fine. If the gym is keeping you healthy and your lungs in good shape, I feel like the risk is relatively low. Then again I am not qualified to really speak to this, that’s how I would personally approach it.

Private gyms have been able to stay open if they are not independent businesses. Some corporations that have on site gyms also have them open. I think this is a “do what’s best for you situation”. If your SO doesn’t want to go, don’t. But don’t make life harder for others by trying to get it shut down. Likely not many are using it, those who are are sanitizing, and they might be dependent on it for mental sanity

like

This is a tough one. Ours is closed but if it was open I’d be tempted to go too as long as no one else was there.

So, do you know who used the machines and dumb-bells before you used it? And do you know where they had been in days leading up to when they went to the gym and do you know who they spoke with, what they touched to know for sure that they’re not infected by the virus?! If you don’t know that info, then you ask yourself if it’s safe to use public spaces of any kind. You following?

My building gym is closed too.
Truthfully I was glad because people weren’t wiping down equipment after using it and it was infuriating and super gross. I wipe down both before and after but you never know 😩

I read it stays on stainless steel for 72 hours. Make your own call.

Don’t go!! All amenities in my building are closed!!

1) there were obvious favorites (coaches are not even hiding that fact);
2) some can’t even play and got on the team,
3) some that can obviously play but did not get on the team;
4) decision were obviously made before the first day was over.
