URGENT GYM UPDATE: Gym Now Closed

On Thursday 19th March, I’ve decided to make the call ahead of the expected, imminent UK lock down… After local authority gyms closed and the government advice was:
– To avoid none essential social contact.
– To avoid all none essential travel.
– Avoid, crowds, gatherings and other public places.

People shouldn’t really be attending the gym through that advice – but many wanted to continue as usual… So, I tried my best to move with it, issue precautions, monitor, graft, enforce hand washing, enforce wiping down of equipment etc etc

I also had a member of staff forced into self isolation… who would normally do 20-30 hours per week for me – because her daughter was showing COVID-19 symptoms.

While I personally am not worried so much about this “virus” people are losing their lives before their time, more people are going to lose loved ones, and some people will really struggle if they do catch this virus.

Two people in my household would struggle. And are considered high risk/vulnerable.

My son, Tyler, who has Cystic Fibrosis.

And our lass, Samantha… she has asthma.

So, I had to make the call to focus on the health & safety of my family albeit – at the potential risk of losing everything I’ve worked for over the past 15 years.

I truly hope you understand.

I’m so sorry.

It’s shit.

It’s inconvenient and some of you will be understandably pissed off.

As I make this call, people are dying, people are losing their jobs, money is being printed to support business – crashing the GDP value, stocks are crashing, the FTSE100 is crashing, military personnel is being deployed, I’ve seen tanks, military conveys, and reports of armed soldiers.

People are working from home, schools are shut, the local council pools and gyms are shut, restaurants are closing, more schools are closing, people are out of paid work.

I also can’t help but feel as of writing this – it’s just the beginning.

I expect more announcements on Friday 20th.

So please people, stay safe from whatever is unfolding.

I will be working from home – to support you all with home workouts, diet plans, training advice and other stuff to try and support you when working out from home – if you want my support… I’d love to help! No cost, obv.

Hopefully, see you all soon!
