And reason enough not to go to the gym...overweightandsafe

It’s a hoax

Who cares Now, how did it affect them? Are they sick? In hospital Have they died? That’s all that matters.

This was expected and this is not essential services, the government is letting 2-3 industries ruin it for all of the other industries due to rising case numbers. If Fitness centres and Restaurants are the main reason for the spread, close them down. fordnation JustinTrudeau

Surprise!

old news

And they want to open the dance studios?! Totally safe. Totally safe. I say we just let Darwinism take effect. Y’all are dumb going to these places. Stay HOME. Ride a real bike.

And I bet they will all get over it just fine.

This was like 2 weeks ago. And everyone will be fine. Their families will be fine. Their friends will be fine. Don’t forget to mention that too. They will all recover and be able to spin again soon.

PCR positive means nothing

Can someone explain me why if the covid 19 is contagious like this, why they put the q-tip deep in your nose close to the brain to take the test 🤔

We need to do a lock down again. This is getting out of hand. Full lock down needed. Obviously idiot's dont think. Putting everyone at risk, so those of us who are responsible have to take charge.

Old news

74 people attacked by Covid19. Now Sports...

Opening gyms up lacked common sense. Of course, I want others (and myself) to enjoy outside gym exercise - but this never made sense - and the science would never have backed their opening...

Should of had there dancing shoes on so they can reopen

News flash. They all recover.

Loving my TRX.
