Me being a meathead thought this was about lifting weights.
- mikestew 6y agoYeah, we miss that, too. My wife bought a gym membership at the local "meathead" gym (i. e., not a national franchise) right before I went into the hospital December 2019. While I spent about three months and another surgery recovering, man, I was going to so hit that gym when I was ready. Yeah, well, I was ready to hit that gym smack in the middle of March 2020. Point is, we paid for a year's membership we never used. And we're going to pay again this year just so the place stays in business (Eastside Gym for you Redmond, WA folks). One of these years we'll actually darken the doorstep of the place. In the meantime, our garage now has a new treadmill and rowing machine, and I finally tracked down some adjustable dumbbells. I'm a distance runner, so that should tide us over. If you're a lifter and don't have a big stack of plates at home already, my sympathies.
- woutr_be 6y agoThe only time I felt the pandemic affected me was when they closed the gyms. I was on a 5 day workout routine before, and suddenly being without that was the moment I started struggling. The gyms have finally opened up again two days ago, and while most of my body is hurting now, my mental well-being is going up again.
- brodouevencode 6y agoThe lack of gyms has hurt people in immeasurable ways. For some it’s a way of life, if not just good therapy. There are more victims to covid than those that contracted the virus.
