We opened Monday. We are 24/7 access and staffed 10-7pm. So a lot of time we aren't here. The glove rule makes members mad (not at us, just the absolute uselessness of it-it makes nothing sterile as you'd need to constantly replace them and no one will do that. It only impedes training if anything and most use old batting gloves, receiving gloves and the lime and you know they don't wash them. They just throw them in their gym bags and reuse the next day. Every medical professional that trains here says it's a dumb rule and that just cleaning with wipes and spray after use is good enough). But they are just happy to be back over all. Everyone (member wise) cleans and is respectful to others etc. On the social distancing, we do not stand there making them stay 6 feet apart. It's not possible people spot others and it's not spreading anything anyway. But that's not a big deal really as it is really 2 college athletes and a couple of others I have spotted and I'm the one on the immunosuppressant so I'm ok with the risk. We walk through and clean every 2 hours but no shut downs. Again, the virus actually makes it in here, it'll spread regardless. If youve ever trained at any kind of high level, you breath heavy and push air out about as much as a sneeze. We've had a couple of guys who lift try a mask and both took it off after 5 min made them light headed and they couldn't get air. Moral to this is, if you are a member of the vulnerable population and don't want to take the risk, avoid the gym.
There are those that have stayed away as they aren't comfortable. And given the fact most aren't working their 8-6 schedule it's actually dead here btw 5pm and 7pm, which normally is the most crowded times as they can come in now whenever. Never once have we hit our 23 person capacity. Usually didn't even before Covid.
