Mine reopened last week with no real restrictions. They have sanitation wipes everywhere in addition to the usual paper towels-and-spray, and employees are going around wiping things down just in case fairly regularly. The place has been pretty empty the three times I've been in. Either people are scared of attending or they haven't yet gotten back into the swing of things. So from a social distancing perspective, it still seems perfectly safe. People wear masks if they choose to, but I'm glad I'm not forced because there's no way I'm wearing a mask while doing cardio.

I stand corrected. I just drove over, and they had signs everywhere saying masks were required. I asked, they confirmed, and I walked back out the door.

I understand requiring masks in other settings. People who refuse to wear one in protest are ridiculous. However, at the gym, wearing a mask makes zero sense. I can barely breathe wearing those stupid masks to begin with. You expect me to exercise with one? And when the sweat is streaming down my face -- I sweat buckets from my forehead and cheeks -- and the mask gets soaked and sticks to my skin, then what? No, sorry. I don't think so.

I came home, called, and asked them to freeze my membership. They said it was state-mandated and they got in trouble last week for not following those rules. So I can't be mad at the gym. And it's hard to be mad at the state for trying to keep everyone safe. But damn if I'm not mad right now, because I really needed a good workout this morning.
