To open gyms that early is a bad idea IMO. I love gyms. Been working out all my life. BUT. .they are breeding grounds for germs. I cannot count the amount of times I got sick after using a gym. (Over 2 decades)..it's just so easy to get a cold /flu in there touching weights, sweating, breathing heavily. It is idiotic. Sure. .sport is great for health and I'm the first to say so. But not during a pandemic inside a room with others. It is so difficult to get it right. Only gyms with very very good ventilation or open air gyms should be allowed to open/with screening at the door etc. People can do sports outside and weight lifting is not essential. Plus some of the best workouts can be achieved using your own body weight.

Having said all that, I wish good luck to all gym owners around the world. Hope I'm wrong
