My local gym (24 Hour Fitness) just reopened today, touting a host of measures for a presumably safer - and assuredly less convenient - experience. I'll go over the changes in dreaded GameFAQs bullet form:

• People can no longer freely walk in. An appointment must be made for a specific time of day. If reservation limits are reached, other members won't be allowed in.
• It's no longer open 24/7 (hence the name). Operating hours are from 5 a.m. - 9 p.m.
• The entire gym closes every hour for a 30-minute cleaning, so there are only ten one-hour gym sessions throughout the time above.
• You can only book one session each day, so you've got an hour to work out.
• About half the cardio machines are taped off for social distancing.
• Disinfectant spray bottles and paper towels are everywhere.

I booked a 5 a.m. session (earliest of the day), meaning I was probably one of the first people to use this gym in months. I wore a mask, as did more than half of the other members there. A part of me expected a madhouse even at that time of day, but it was a very light hour. And yep, at about 5:55, an employee walked by to politely say they'd be showing my ass the door in five minutes.

Overall, if it stays this sparsely populated in there, I won't consider it too risky an environment since I plan to stay masked up. That said... if it DOES stay that sparsely populated, I can't imagine it'll remain in business very long. =/

I'm not 100% sure if I'll stick with this, but I just had to get an early feel for 2020 gym life. So, anyone else gone to a re-opened gym lately? Observations/thoughts?
