The gym is always there for me. All I have to do is push or pull or lift some Heavy shit. It is the simplest most straightforward part of my day. It is the calm center of my life.
I love this shit.

Amen to that bro.
A lot of people say shit like "Damn, that must suck/be hard to hit the gym every fucking day"
Naw, I cant wait for it, I'd be much worse off without putting some fucking weight on the bar
The gym I am at peace with myself.
Now let’s hope they stay open!
Your gyms are open?

Have been for about 8 weeks. Let's hope it stays that way.
Mine has been open for 6 weeks now, and yes masks are required and some machines been removed to space them out.
Oh that sucks.
Still closed in my state. Certain gyms reopened against orders, and I think some owners got arrested over it. I dont know how much longer some of the small non-franchise gyms I know of are gonna last or if they're already done...

Your governor is a piece of shit. If these businesses would start filing lawsuits against him, he’ll change his tune real fast. He, along with MI, OH, WA, OR, NY, NJ and CA all need to be removed.
Agreed. Just did a search. Here's one gym that I know of where the owners were arrested..I know there are several more...
Atilis Gym owners arrested for violating N.J. coronavirus orders
But the dirty ass Walmart down town that's overcrowded with face masks and gloves scattered all around is safe
Also, I think our covid numbers are the lowest in the country right now if I'm not mistaken

I feel exactly the same way. I have recently “sence the gym reopened” switched from afternoon workouts to first thing in the A.M. workouts. Life started getting in the way: all 3 of my teen stepdaughters are working different jobs now, always somebody getting picked up or dropped off. People just can’t understand why I get pissed when I have to try to squeeze a workout in between everybody’s schedule, or if I have to miss one especially!! Now I get to the gym as soon as it opens “5AM” train till about 6:30, then drive to work and get in a quick shower before my shift starts at 7. I am lucky that my job, the gym and my house are all within a 2 mile radius. Now the only reason I have if I miss a workout is if I can’t get my ass out of bed. I hate when I feel I don’t have control over when or how long I can workout. Haven’t missed a workout in 7 weeks now. Another bonus is the gym is almost empty in the AM. Just me and 2 old folks who only use the treadmills, I don’t have to wait on any equipment, just don’t have any spotter but I just have to use some caution if I barbell bench.

My stupid gym is only open for 1h time slots. By the time I warm up for ~20 minutes it's not even worth going.
I feel you about the gym being your happy place, though. I put on my headphones, blast some black metal or punk rock and lift heavy shit. It's the most cathartic part of my day.

My state (NH) has been doing quite well considering the governor is Republican. At least I am happy with the gym being open as it is and I am not complaining about having to wear a mask (except when actually working out).
Same
Its ridiculous.
Especially considering my PL program.
I take big breaks between heavy sets so that I can get maximum reps out at 80% max.
So I'm 2 hours for a heavy lift day.
My actual lifts being the 2nd hour.
So unfortunately all I can do is my warm up, then build up, when I'm.in my peak workoit.... I already have to leave, its bullshit
