Gyms closed; what now?

It’s amazing what can be done with just your body weight. Add a medicine ball, slam ball, a few dumbbells, and a 30” box and you’re golden.

 

Prison workouts

Haha you know!

A little Yoga with Elise doesn't hurt either!

 

Yes sir still on a daily. Got to sharpen my skills just incase It gets crazy.

 

Ran a PR mile this am at 6:50, did 100 burpees in 6:15, then ran my 2nd PR mile at 7:20.
I know that’s not special (I’m almost 40 lol), but I just started CrossFit in October so I’m new to all this. It’s pretty exciting

 

That’s pretty dang good! I hate both of those two things. I just spent a month doing only CF workouts to see if I could stay consistent with them and I may be switching again. The last 6 months have been a struggle but I’m not quitting. Just trying to figure out what I can sustain. Bout to go do some legs and shoulders right now.

 

I HATE RUNNING! Lol
I started doing bootcamp Mon-Thur, then “Chipper Friday” and a partner workout with my wife on Saturday.
I’m hooked and have been for months. Never felt so great in my entire life.
Then this Covid shit hit, and my buddy has me over every morning for a combo of CrossFit bar movements and bootcamp style cardio. I love it.

 

I'm strictly cardio, especially after my wife told me stamina was everything ! Lol

 

you know you hate running when you look forward to these lol

 

Have a home gym with a new treadmill coming tomorrow. I'm still able to use my work gym but the wife can't do her classes at this time so that helped with more toys in the home gym

 

This is what Ive been doing, plus walking for lunch at work (when i would normally be at the gym) and riding my bike in the evenings. I miss the gym, but getting creative is kinda fun. I hope to score some discount weight stuff when this is all over and people dump the home gym stuff they bought in a panic.

 

Thankful for my bumper plates and lifting platform

 

I went from this



To this

 

Not to mention 24 hour fitness is still deducting dues when most gyms put a freeze on them that pisses me off

 

I miss my rower.


Shoot i havent checked to see if my gym is still charging me or not.

 

Have you tried P90x that is legit bro. I use it during winter.

 

LOL!!! I love the Airdyne and Rower! Or bike erg. I’d rather do all 3 before running. It’s hilarious, because 90% of my bootcamp class is the complete opposite and would rather run.

 

I have the dvd set from years ago and completed the 90 days once. It’s really good but I prefer pushing the weights.

 

24 hour fitness is the only one I’ve seen still charging. They sent their call center home so there’s no way to cancel. I would probably be fine with it if they were still paying their employees, but it is my understanding they are not. I’m going to cancel my membership and sign elsewhere when things open again.

 

I went from this (me in the center ):





To this:







LOL!!!!
I’m missing the gym for sure

 

Our gym is a smaller family owned place and I’m fine with them still charging. They did lay off the coaches, but they still have rent to pay. Not sure how it equals out, but hopefully the SBA grants will allow them to pay their employees and make rent.

 

I would do the same if my gym were a small family owned shop. I’m in full support for small businesses. 24 hour is a large greedy corporate owned gym empire with millions in reserves I’m sure and not paying their employees. They said they will extend memberships for as long as they are closed which makes no sense if members are month to month.

 

Yep! Agree, completely different circumstances lol.

 

I went from a small Snap Fitness in a strip mall to this.



Not pictured is my Rogue dog sled, and all my tires that are outside. I have done powerlifting, cross fit and now back to regular old bb style workouts.

Best decision ever to build this.

Also anybody looking to try their luck go check out Garage gym reviews IG page (might be on FB too). Coop is giving away one hell of an awesome combo bench from Ghost and a power bar from Kabuki Strength. It’s worth like $4500.

 

You have a lot of awesome shit!!!!
Very nice!
I’m not motivated enough to work alone lol. I enjoy company too much, and really rely on others as motivation (and competition).

 

Current situation.......the girls and I out for a waddle!

 

I tried crossfit a couple times. Hated it. I do not need all that rah rah crap. I like my headphones and just getting to work.

 

Every once in a while I miss some gym company.

then I remember I’m either wearing slippers or no shoes, the music is what I put on, everything is put away( usually) and can’t beat the commute lol.

 

I agree. But then again I enjoy “suffering” alone as it helps build mental capacity in my opinion.
