Is it safe to go to the gym, with the Coronavirus?

I was out of town for a week and planned on going back to my usual gym routine tomorrow. Now I'm wondering if they'll have enough Purell and hand wipes.

by Anonymousreply 70December 17, 2020 5:53 PM

Honey, since the only exercise you get is bending over and playing "Easy Hole" to married men, I should think sanitized hands the least of your worries.

I can set my watch to the obvious DL queen remark. To other non-DL cunts who actually go to the gym--thoughts?

Go to the gym with the coronavirus? Are you carrying it with you?

by Anonymousreply 3March 10, 2020 3:23 AM

No. Put your membership on pause.

by Anonymousreply 4March 10, 2020 3:24 AM

Yeah, but for how long, R4? You can't not go to the gym for months. This thing isn't going away.

Just wondered what other people are doing.

I'm going to the gym, OP, but i'm using disiinfecting wipes, hand sanitizer and washing my hands thoroughly when I leave.

You are going to catch it one way or the other. You might as well keep going so you can die as a muscular queen.

OP, we can't even discern what it is you are attempting to ask due to your remarkably poor composition skills.

[quote] Is it safe to go to the gym, with the Coronavirus?

Are you telling us you have Covid-19 and you want to know if its safe to go the gym? For heaven's sake, no. Not for you and not for anyone else.

Or, are you asking if it is safe to go to a gym that has Covid-19 on the premises? Again, for heaven't sake, no!

Or, is your question completely non-specific? Are you asking if a global pandemic rules out going to the gym at all?

How did you write a question so astonishingly vague?

Hell, I'm goin' to the gym and lickin' EVERYTHING.

Bring those thin latex gloves healthcare workers wear, and anti bacterial wipes of your own, and don't shower at the gym. Go home and shower. And for shit's sake don't go when it's crowded. This thing is passed through fluids. people sneeze cough even spit and sweat. YOu have no idea. I guess you can wear a mask and just say your allergies a re bothering you and you don't want to upset people if you sneeze.

by Anonymousreply 13March 10, 2020 4:17 AM

I've been going, but I've been trying to avoid the gym when it's crowded. I've also been staying away from the cardio area since I figure that's where the most germs are getting spread through the air.

I used to laugh at people who would wipe down equipment before they used it, but now I am that person.

I want to go to the gym without the coronavirus.

Today I saw a man repeatedly using the hand sanitizer after using machines which I found odd.

What kind of odd machines were they?

by Anonymousreply 17March 10, 2020 4:45 AM

People are fucking pigs.

Even when healthy, slobs don’t wipe their sweat from the seats and pads and backrests and benches.

Then all those people who go to the gym and steam rooms and saunas to sweat out their sickness - fucking selfish pricks.

You actually think people will be considerate enough to stay home from THEIR workout routine when they feel like they’re coming down with something?

Wash your hands frequently..if ur young n healthy you’ll be fine.

My gym has upped the cleaning rounds on the equipment and has wipes and sanitizer everywhere. Going regularly. They told people with coughs to stay away. But it’s still kind of empty there.

by Anonymousreply 20March 10, 2020 5:20 AM

Hmm. I thought cardio would be safer than doing around touching and sitting on all the weight machines and using free weights.

Gee, cunt R11, others seem to have no issues in comprehending that I'm not asking if it's safe to go to the gym if you have the Coronavirus, but is it safe to go to the gym with the Coronavirus out there.

I hope that's clarified things for twat R11.

by Anonymousreply 24March 10, 2020 12:40 PM

I wonder about that, too, but sick people rarely go to the gym. So, I'm still going, but taking extra care.

Except, R25, you can have it for 5 days before you start showing symptoms.

Don't worry, doll, it probably can't live long in the steam room.

So like, you go to the gym, and some asshole is on the treadmill next to you and he is running like a maniac, and he is sweating, and the sweat is DRIPPING off him, and his hair is damp and his tank top is clinging to his chest and he is drenched and the sweat is like, flying off him and you feel a spray from it. The he tests positive. Now what? YOu're dead. Why would you go to the gym, unless you're horny.

All of you AFFLUENT DL QUEENS should just buy a treadmill, elliptical machine and weights with a bench and just do your excercising at home.

My gym sent out an email that they've hired janitorial service to clean around the clock, and to be sure and clean the machines before and after use. I'm still going to avoid going for the time being.

This is insanity. Most people have probably already had it. Or worse.

Purell and Astroglide together and you can get a handjob with no regrets (albeit a bit of a stinging feeling).

I wash my hands before I go, I wash my hands when I get there, I wash my hands just before I leave. I always carry a towel around anyway so I use that to open doors, press the button on the water fountain, etc.

Plus, my gym is fairly spacious and I don't have to get within a meter of anyone anyway. So I've been going. It's been a little emptier than usual, which helps.

The symptoms of Covid-19 are sore throat, runny nose, cough and fever. In some people with other factors like cancer, heart disease, COPD, etc. it can be more severe.

Ugh, I walked out of my tiny small town gym earlier this evening. It's disgusting. No-one gives a shit about wiping down - I felt like Drumpf creeping around trying to avoid germs.

Now I feel sick. People are pigs.

R31, no one cares if you get it. The problem is that you will then spread it.

Buy a pair of workout gloves, OP. And leave them at the gym each time, if that is an option for you.

Why would you leave them at the gym?

I used to wear white cotton gloves at my old gym because I got a skin rash which I attributed to the sweaty machines. But I always felt like a 1950s frau in them.

Can’t figure out why they are canceling outdoor sports events. Inside is probably more risky but you’d be at more risk going and coming from outdoor events.

there are rumors floating around that we’ll announce our closure either today or at the end of the week, and I’m crestfallen at the thought of the campus gym closing indefinitely.

I have been working out from home since March. Luckily, I had some old dumbbells in storage.

I'm 60 and I used to go to the gym 4 times a week. I'm more concerned with the cardio area than I am of the weight room. Even with masks, six feet spacing between people is not adequate when people are running on a treadmill (or stairclimber or elliptical). I bought a few dumbbells and an exercise mat, and I'm going to the park for my cardio. I'll go back to the gym once the vaccine is widely available. I don't need to be a "fit" corpse.
