Last time I was at the gym I got COVID, and it was really bad as the virus got deep into my lungs due to deep breathing while working out.

And no girls there either, just bros pumping iron. Would not recommend.

Aww man, I JUST got my gym membership and planned to start this weekend. Now I’m afraid and don’t want to go anymore.

I got triple covid vax tho, should I be ok?

You’ll be fine. Don’t let fear rule your life.

You’re just telling them to go die and not take precautions.

13esq ,

If you want to be really safe you can choose to never leave your house, but I’d say that’s no life. There’s always going to be some risk involved with whatever you want to do and it’s not always going to be a risk that’s reasonably manageable.

I think telling someone not to worry about getting COVID (as long as they are not extreme frail or elderly) isn’t controversial, it’s common sense.

cordlesslamp ,

Isn’t fear a big part of human survivor instincts?

Fear is literally the thing that keeps me away from trying drugs, stopped smoking, and stopped drinking in my early 20s LOL.

I love my fears. I’m a cowardly bastard who can never be peer pressured into doing any dangerous or stupid shits.

But I’ll still go to the gym. However, I’m gonna be that weirdo who wears a mask with a bottle of Purell in the corner. :)

13esq ,

Sure, you have a good point. Fear isn’t silly, but there’s a balance to strike. If you’re so scared of possibly getting COVID (as long as you’re not extremely frail or elderly) that it’s causing you to not enjoy yourself do healthy activities like go to the gym, you might be overly cautious.

I was vaccinated four times (in Germany) but I also had some light issues with respiratory diseases all my life and I’m in my 50s which also elevates the risks of infections.

Decide for yourself. Gym definitely is a good place to get healthier. Most of the times.

The health benefits of exercise likely outweigh the negative effects of COVID for most people, especially vaccinated

When if I go to the gym it’s a combination of terminator wannabes or people who are just hanging around sitting on the equipment but not actually using it because they are conducting a 45-minute conversation.

Fake: anon went outside and spoke to a woman

Gay: anon had sex, obviously not with a woman

Ugh, don’t go to the gym to meet people

rockSlayer ,

True, but it’s also inevitable that you’re going to meet people by going to a gym. Don’t interrupt people, but if they appear like they’re open to conversation it’s ok to ask if they want to talk.

I went to the gym for about 9 months straight in 2021. I didn’t have one conversation, and that was exactly how I wanted it. I don’t want to meet a banging girl that has a thick gym body so all my bro friends can think I’m the man while she walks around the entire gym pretending to not be showing off in those tight pants that go up her cracks. I don’t want a bro friend to give me diet suggestions and brag about how he has figured a workout regiment better than all the physiologists in the world. I want to workout, listen to my music from my ear buds, stim and process my anger between sets, and talk to myself without anyone looking at me.

echodot ,

Generally speaking I don’t want to talk to people at the gym, or anyway really. But if a hot girl wants to talk to me and then sleep with me, I suppose I’ll put up with it. You have to be polite right.

rockSlayer ,

That’s fine and you’re entitled to that experience. If someone misunderstands your body language, all you have to do is politely decline the offer to talk.

ryannathans ,

Don’t go ouside and you won’t meet people 🧠

feedum_sneedson ,

I didn’t, but I did.

datelmd5sum ,

Here’s a list of acceptable things to say to strangers in a gym:

  • Are you using that?
  • How many sets do you have left?
  • Could you spot me? (only for bench)

None of these should turn the stranger into someone you know. None of these should lead to intercourse.

You lost me there. GTK is superior.

I can spot a lie when I see one.
