State of GA will open gyms?!?!?! God no.

Some gyms that I know are so filthy, the virus itself will be on the bench next to you lifting weights, asking you for a spot.

4. Yeah, I workout at home or hiking or something. Gyms are disgusting.

Plus, I sweat and huff/puff so much that it’s embarrassing. If I got CV19, I’d infect everyone.

Gyms are probably about as dangerous as wet markets. Makes no sense.

Can't imagine what that means in a room where sweating people take turns using metal and vinyl machines in which the last person to use the machine sweat all over everything. Unless you can use the machine from 6 feet away, climbing in to share it after the last person is 6 feet gone doesn't seem a strong deterrent to viruses that may be left behind.

But that's just me.
