The last time they closed gyms I was able to get a few dumbbells before all the stores sold out of equipment. Not much, but better than nothing. My gym opened back up May 18th and I started going back at ~6am ish. Luckily I belong to a private gym, so there were maybe 6-10 guys in the entire free weight area, and everyone social distanced, wiped down equipment, etc. Felt pretty safe and was really good to be back in the routine.
About a week or so ago I noticed that some equipment was available again online, so I bought a squat rack, bench, bar, and some bumper plates (plates selection was spotty but was able to get enough except for heavy squats/deads). They all arrived this weekend. Just in time perhaps – they just closed bars and scaled back restaurants this past week. If gyms are next, I will actually be prepared this time!
