    Anyone know when HSE directives might allow the reopening of Jacuzzis and steam rooms etc.

    Are they impossible to have while covid19 is around does anyone know (obviously face masks and social distancing are not possible)..

    The guidance is fairly open ended. You could hazard a guess but it would be just that. I couldn't even guess how long before FF move from having to book 1hr slots

    Brian to be perfectly honest i am not even a member of Iveagh Fitness I was just trying to keep the hordes away from going to my gym by bigging up another gym.

    I was afraid quest of people like that said to have had happened at Westwood Gym would arrive at my gym. it was selfish of me.

    I apologise

    Are you all doing anything in preparation for the 2nd lockdown?

    There won't be a second lockdown. I am back into the swing of things, making serious progress.

    honestly though, the government can't. A second lockdown guarantees the entire country goes into the worst recession in the history of mankind. I don't even know if we'd ever recover.

    No I don't value the economy over lives. I supported the first lockdown but a second lockdown would destroy the economy. Businesses that just about survived the first will be shut for good and the banks believing that third, fourth and fifth lockdowns could be forthcoming will start to reign back their amnesty period. Similarly the government would not be able to continue covid payments indefinitely.

    If there is a resurgence of cases we will definitely go back into a lockdown situation: https://www.rte.ie/news/coronavirus/2020/0708/1152118-covid-19-australia/

    There can be local lockdown, eg shut down gyms if cases rises

    my local WW has been very quiet , I thought with people working from home it would be busy at unusual times. The main weights area has a limit of 20 but I havnt seen more than 5 or 6 so far, maybe 2 or 3 people on cardio machines in that area.

    If cases rise many won't go near the gym anyway I imagine. I stopped going a couple of weeks before they closed.

    I've heard that Sandymount is the best gym in Dublin. Unbelievable equipment, amazing atmosphere, just the all round best gym.

    I suggest everyone should try it out.

    Lots have places have gone back into 2nd lockdown already. Not in Ireland, but obviously it's very possible.

    Can anyone recommend any decent places to buy affordable home gym equipment?

    Lad in the gym always wears a mask but still thinks it's ok to be standing closer to you than would have been ok pre-Covid

    Trained in a gym yesterday that had a requirement to wear a mask, but I was the only one wearing one. Kept it on most of the time, but I'm so goddamn unfit that I needed to take it off for a few breaths after some latter sets to get my breath back.

    At least everyone seemed to be cleaning equipment after themselves, so better than nothing I guess.

    Is your gym particular small that a mask needs to be worn?

    Those ***** down in Kerry are going to be responsible for getting the gyms shut again.

    One person knowing they had covid attended a party of 30+ people. They went out to the pubs and clubs all over Killarney and then told the party goers that they had Covid on Sunday.

    If the gyms get shut down again I am going to lose it. What a bunch of idiots.

    I've to bring two towels, one for myself and one to wipe the equipment down with the sanitizer they have available.

    A water bottle also, and they said that we are to bring hand sanitizer, but I haven't seen anyone using one.
