scubascuba3 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Don't know but they would be a source of Corona if busy, sweat everywhere and AC. Get outside and do exercise 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex8912 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 (edited) Fitness first has sent me a small e mail saying till 3/31 closed and the Olympic gym sent my friend one today. I think it’s very true. Pretty much what happens in the USA happens in Thailand 24 hrs later now. This is at least the 4 th copy cat rule. And these gyms cost a lot and will certainly battle you for any discount or credit I’m sure. Edited March 18, 2020 by alex8912 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lacessit Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Gyms are a good source of coronavirus, all those sweaty palms. Golf and swimming for me, I can do both alone. Sex, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpcjsr Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 The gym is Phayao has been one of the safest places to be. They wipe the entire place down before opening then keep cleaning thru out the day. The people there are some of the most healthy in town. So, yeah, lets close it down. Brilliant. I am already sick and tired of this insane hysteria. The virus is bad but the solutions may be many times worse. Something is going on that we do not understand yet. Soon it will become more clear. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flbkk Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Virgin Active closed for 2 weeks starting today. For gyms and airlines too, be careful having money with them, this may go on a very long time, bankruptcies possible 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rucker4012 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Note: All restaurants in Chalong have been ordered by police to close despite words to contrary in printed media. Some exceptions about social distancing mentioned without clarification. Local governor's office to be contacted 08:30 tomorrow for clarification. A restaurant is not an entertainment venue or bar. Typical un-thought out knee jerk reaction. I am not aware of one positive tested case in Phuket, an island of approx 250,000 and 1M tourists in normal high season.

Iron Tongue Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 It's not the sweat, it's the people huffing and puffing on each other as they exercise. Add all the communal touching of equipment and things can spread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laughing Gravy Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) 8 weeks closed here in China. I have never had more than 2 weeks off at a time in 38 years. It is just not the same training at home. Edited March 19, 2020 by Laughing Gravy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your temperature is taken in every place you go. Restaurants are mostly closed although a few are open with a designated distance that you have to be a part from another person. Restaurants through Metiuan are all mostly open but unfortunately my Chinese is not like my Thai. It is still quite quiet in the other shops. the barbers have just opened up but with skeleton staff. Schools are still closed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Rising Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Tony's closed last night for 2 weeks. In addition there is a notice at the door saying that due to a lack of costumers lifetime members must from now on pay a "maintenance fee" of 50-70 Baht (depending on the length of their membership) for every visit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glennb6 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Fun gyms (3) are closed, Castra closed, Champs closed. Close the F-N govt and we'd all be better off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStar Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) Mine closed, too. Shame--I hope the staff members are being given vacation pay or something. Time to beef up the home gym if you haven't. Suspension trainer, resistance bands, pull up bar, maybe a couple of dumbbells. Some sort of cardio machine would be nice if you have the space & budget. All available from Lazada or Aliexpress. (China! Let's knee jerk.) Aliexpress has the big sale starting on the 27th.
