Home gym advantage
In many places, gyms are opening after shutting down due to the COVID pandemic, but your home may still be the ideal place to maintain your fitness.
As gyms and fitness centers reopen, they must follow strict guidelines for sanitation, social distancing, occupancy, and more. Even if these facilities are considered safe by most standards, their patrons still may not feel comfortable, especially older adults and others who are at a higher risk for COVID.
