@jk I'm looking forward to going to the gym tomorrow, probably gonna have to go midday or around 7/8pm to avoid the throngs of people out for thier gym fix!

Haven't looked in to it closely given Auckland still a wee while away from level 2 but looks like need to wear a mask in the gym?

@jk post from our gym said not compulsary but recommended (think as it is not a public place?) are limiting numbers, turning off water fountain and fans, most stuff is 2m anyway, are a few areas 2m wont be possible.

Cityfitness are saying masks are mandatory for everyone.

yeah makes sense - not a public place as compared to say a library

@jk @Toddy I'll wear one anyway, went for a walk up the maunga here last week and wore a mask the whole way, was tough for some of the uphill section, but sweet as otherwise.

It's absolutely farcical in Brisbane. We have to wear a mask to and from the gym but can take it off while training. My GF is a Les Mills instructor and there are no masks worn while the classes are going in that confined space. As soon as class is over everyone has to mask up.

Interestingly my experience is that many younger people in their 20s choose to wear masks even while training. Not sure if that's a fashion statement or for health reasons. 🤔

After two rounds the hardest part become the start of the run as so hard to keep the arms up - really could feel it in the shoulders and triceps
