Gyms were among one of the first businesses to close when the pandemic hit, and half of them still haven’t reopened. Owners are saying without federal relief they will be out of business for good as customers are feeling physical and mental effects of not being able to work out.

Gym Closures And Pandemic Stress Are Taking A Toll On Mental Health | NBC News NOW
For those making the comment that gyms are not important. For some ppl it's not just about the excercise it is the community and social aspects that gyms provide. As well, their are certain excercise and weight training that can't be done by body weight alone. If you live in a cold country the gym is the only place to actually workout. So no it's not that easy and it's very insensitive for ppl who probably don't even go to the gym to make these comments.
screw a gym. what about the basketball courts? all boards no rims. 🙁
Its simple folks…. Divide & Conquer
512,590 takes the US well over the grim half a million Covid death milestone.
After 12 months New Zealand has suffered 26 Covid deaths.
New Zealand proved social distancing, hand washing and wearing masks saves lives.
Trump's "Do nothing" pandemic strategy is written down in history as America's biggest failure.
US Media need to interview New Zealand and Taiwan pandemic experts.
CDC briefings would benefit from zoom connected global advisers.
Covid variants = US has 10 variants, UK 2, South Africa 1, Brazil 1 and China 1.
2020 the virus possibly originated in China. 2021 there is no debate the virus is from US.
The republicans don’t want to pass A bill for the Americans gym owners
You don't need a gym to workout
Lockdowns don’t work, this is only a problem in blue states and cities, everybody else is fine, that’s why people are leaving blue cities and states like crazy because they’re so dysfunctional
I've been doing virtual travel on YouTube. There are a lot of vids providing walk throughs of various cities and museums and other stuff. Am getting a little crazy though. Could use some time outside.
You dont need a gym to workout. How are people suffering and claiming they cannot exercise because their gym is closed uh you have an entire body you can use as your weights
Go have a walk outside?
There is no covid 19
Wake up.trp/ biden are actors
Reading scripts
Spoiled people miss their treats.
As a cyclist and mountain climber, nothing screams First World Problem like, "I need my gym for exercise and mental health!"
A lot of the gyms in my area don’t even require wearing a mask, they aren’t even try to do their part to help.
Go to your local Ranch they'll work you out
Asterisk elect Joe's failed covid plan has cost 100,000 Americans lives as they have ALL died under his dementia riddled watch. The #1 and the #2 states with the HIGHEST Covid deaths are CA & NY, each are failed Democrat Super Majorities. Each state is riddled with rampant poverty, illegal immigration, homelessness, and ranked among the absolute WORST Public Schools in the Nation. The rest of your moronic diatribe is as empty as a New York Nursing home. For which your leftist hero Cuomo will hopefully be charged with 49,000 counts of Negligent Homicide. But nice attempt to blame this on anyone but the failed left, antifa lover
Whoosies
I'm sorry but gym is NOT a necessity.
(I'm sure some will "attack" for my statement)
Everyone i know, including my family & neighbors, have added on to our collection, so that we can work out at home. NONE of us would even entertain the idea of going into a gym.
But then again — I, HONESTLY, can't understand why people get so upset/ down, just because you can't get out. I enjoy being around people. Yet at the same time, I truly enjoy being alone or just with my kids/ immediate family.
Some things I'll just NEVER understand…
Lol 😂😂😂😂😂
It's called being an adult, and being responsible…
Keep voting DemocRAT Dopes.
500,000 DEAD people paid the maximum toll. Ask their families about mental health. Not being able to go to the gym crashing you is just you not dealing with your issues. Get some perspective.
Anybody with even half a brain knew all this on day one.
You can workout at home and outside lol
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer
Boo Hooo
