super_carson Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Anyone got a prediction for gyms reopening? I think it will be one of the later businesses to reopen and it include capped numbers for the gym floor or classes. Probably swimming pools and changing rooms to stay closed, that was what happened before at Nuffield. I'm not sure how much people will be rushing in to the gyms though, lots of people will still be choosing to keep away. I also think the amount of people who invested in home gym equipment is massive (you can't get a barbell, dumbell or any weights equipment for love nor money) and they may find they can work out for much less than memberships. I'm fortunate in that I have access to a private gym at my rugby club that I borrowed equipment from to keep me going for a few weeks but as and when lockdown rules are relaxed I will be looking forward to training again (in isolation, with strict hygiene rules in place before the next person comes in). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been told by removal firm that both properties have to be empty for three days. The other one is but not sure where I can go to leave mine empty. There's no b&b etc. Not allowed to visit others so pretty cornered. We were supposed to move into the new house on the 2nd of April after moving out of the old house on the 18th of March. The people in the house we were moving into couldn’t move at the time so we just had to sit it out. Got the keys last Thursday and didn’t bother going round until Sunday night. We are going to move the stuff in tomorrow and Wednesday. The official Government website just advises you to hold off but if you can’t it just states observe social distancing. So it appears to be ok to move. I’m moving even if the wife and bairn don’t want to... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other one is but not sure where I can go to leave mine empty. There's no b&b etc. Not allowed to visit others so pretty cornered. I looked into this, as I am in a similar position. Legally hotels and b&bs can still accommodate people if they need the room due to delays in moving house. Of course most hotels and b&bs are closed. Airbnb is still taking bookings so that might be your best bet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, they don't really need to gather at the training ground? They're professional athletes turning up at their workplace to do their job. They'll have all sorts of specialist equipment and will have the space to do fitness exercises properly and without the need for any contact with the general public, which wouldn't be the case in any of their local parks or wherever else the general public might do their exercise. Their manager literally had the disease, so I doubt there's going to be any sense of them not taking this seriously. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 So businesses can get loans up to £50k that will be interest and fee free for one year and100% guaranteed by the government (using our money). Can’t see that going wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some aisles is quite tough as the device sends you in different directions. Sadly they still have times to meet to get the vans on the road. I hope you got everything you needed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
