    I really hope the gyms open next week and stay open this time.

    My husband owns a gym in the city and his mental health has taken a serious nosedive this year with the stress. Which I'm sure is the same as all the other hospitality, service & retail providers being forced to shut/restrict business this year.

    Our gym has timetable up on the app but you can only book two days in advance, I'd be booking 14 sessions a week otherwise, things are getting desperate.



    6 weeks! It took me 3months to get into it properly again last time, I only started seeing positive changes in my body after that long, so goodbye xmas party dress body this time, that's for sure :D

    For sure. It takes me 6 weeks to notice anything in the mirror and about 3 months for anyone else to notice. Sack of spuds it is. Hopefully they stay open this time. This year has been a complete write off.

    That'll play havoc with all the 'I'll start on Monday' heads.

    In saying that, Tuesday is the start of a new month, so a good starting point also.

    Thought it was Tuesday night they were lifting so gums open Wednesday morning? Hopefully it's Tuesday day!

    Have to leave the gym off until the following Monday so, benching on a Wednesday will throw out the whole week for me.

    Damnit NPHET.

    Gavin's tweet is unusually unclear. I think he is talking about the second phase of lifting restrictions.

    RTE, Irish Times and others are still reporting 1 December for gyms.

    4 December (or later) for hospitality.

    He corrected his mistake for gyms in a reply to his own tweet. Still the first.

    Only for individual use is it? No classes.

    Gov.ie says Gyms, leisure centres and swimming pools may remain open for individual use only

    No classes. However, the government document interestingly and unusually says that swimming classes will be reviewed from January. Hence, it seems swim classes, but not gym clases, might be allowed resume in January.

    Are the gyms open for a few weeks or are they closing in January again?
