    By local gym closed last night.
    Pressure from social media rather than from members are forcing small gyms, <100, to close.

    I think most sensible small gym owners have chosen to close anyway

    Seems like the big ones are closed too. Flyfit is for sure. Probably Ben Dunne too.

    I hear Unique Physique in Killester might be open. Last chance saloon for me. This CV could be going on for like 3 - 6 months. Maybe more. :mad:

    Ben Dunne closed before Flyefit.
    Pretty sure Unique Physique is closed now too.

    If it does go on for 3-6 months, then all other gyms are likely to close too.

    Sorry for the employees, but closing these pits of germ transmission has to be a wise decision at the moment.

    Check outdoor gym equipment in your council area. Bring anti nuclear wipes.

    Thanks for the replies, guys. I guess the reality is that whatever stragglers are still open now, well, they will eventually close too. That's probably a good thing for everyone, although it will mean a lot of effort and pain for me to get back to the level I'm at now, but so be it. Some things are beyond our control, and acceptance is the easiest path.

    Myself and others were training and peaking for a competition 10 days from now. That's gone by the wayside too.

    But ultimately, it's a long game. Getting back to were you are now won't take anywhere near as long as it took you to get there in the first place. Just do what you can do with what you have in the time being.

    Better to see a slight temporary drop off in performance than accidentally kill your grandparents 👍

    Can't kill them twice. :pac:

    But seriously, we all have to assume that we have the virus, and that it's on our hands and everything we touch, and then act accordingly: don't touch mouth/nose/eyes without washing whatever is touching them first.
