Things are almost back to normal, but not everything. That’s why you still need to stay safe, even when you’re working out. After all, not everyone has a home gym.
If you’ve started going back to the gym, you may still want to practice safety and hygiene protocols to guard against COVID-19. But how?
This article is going to lay out some easy steps you can follow to stay safe while you exercise at the gym.
How To Practice Social Distancing At The Gym
Here are some steps based on health guidelines you need if you want to stay safe in the gym amid the pandemic.
First of all, you may be subjected to new rules at many gyms. For instance, some may check your temperature to make sure it’s under 100.4, which is considered to be a fever.
Also, you may have that some group activities like basketball and spas, the swimming pool may be closed for now.
If you do decide to go to the gym here are some things to do:
1. Go To The Gym During A Time That Is Less Busy
If you can, try to go to the gym during an off-peak period. This may be early in the morning or late in the evening.
In either case, you want to choose a time where the gym is not packed with people.
2. Bring Your Own Towel And Disinfectant
If you frequent the gym before the COVID-19 pandemic, you knew that they may have already had a rigorous sanitation process. Well, now it’s been kicked up a bit.
But that’s no excuse not to take your health and hygiene in your own hands. Bring your own towel and disinfectant to the gym so you don’t have to rely on the facility’s products.
3. Wear A Face Mask
Health officials continue to tell us to wear a mask or face covering when we’re out in public. Going to the gym is no different.
Choose a mask that you can breathe in even while exercising. This will allow you to catch your breath while staying protected from droplets in the air. Here’s how to make a mask or face covering.
4. Keep Your Social Distance
Social distancing is something that will be easier if you go to the gym when not a lot of people are there, as was mentioned earlier.
If you can stay 6 feet away from the next person, you can enjoy your workout. Look for equipment and workout machines that are far away from other people relatively speaking. Here’s your social distancing guide.
5. Wipe Down Your Equipment Before And After Use
Before you get on a machine, make sure you wipe it down with a soap and water solution. Once you finish with the equipment, wipe it down again.
This is extremely important in a gym, which may have surfaces that need cleaning every few minutes because of the sweaty clientele.
Final Thought
Going to the gym doesn’t have to be a total departure from what you’re used to. But there are simply some other health measures you have to take.
Think about it: The reason why you’re going to the gym n the first place is because of your health, so it shouldn’t be a big deal.

Are you in a relationship in Atlanta, Georgia? Is it tough going? A new study may indicate why that’s the case.
Dating site Ashley Madison just released its Summer of Sex Index, ranking U.S. cities based on infidelity.
Atlanta Ranks In Top 5 For Infidelity Among U.S. Cities
Atlanta comes in #4 when it comes to infidelity, according to Ashley Madison. Here are the rankings for the top 20 cities in America.
So who cheats more: Is it the men or the women? Anecdotal evidence may suggest that the male species is more prolific in this particular sport, but the statistics tell another tale.
Among ever-married adults ages 18 to 29, women (11% vs. 10%) are slightly more likely than men to be guilty of infidelity, according to one study.
That source also contains this doozy:
cheating is somewhat more common among black adults. Some 22% of ever-married blacks said that they cheated on their spouse, compared with 16% of whites and 13% of Hispanics. And among black men, the rate is highest: 28% reported that they had sex with someone other than their spouse, compared with 20% of white men and 16% of Hispanic men.
The old adage “cheaters never win” may explain why Atlanta’s sports fortunes when you think about it.
Final Word
To sum it up, both men and women have a penchant for cheating, especially those not content with their circumstances or not quite right in the head.
Are you in an “entanglement?” Here are some Atlanta spots you might like to frolic.

The Champ has been immortalized with a new statue in downtown Atlanta. Boxer Evander Holyfield’s bust was unveiled at a ceremony on Friday, June 25, 2021.
Holyfield, 58, was on hand along with sports tycoon Arthur Blank, owner of the Blank Family of Businesses, who presented the statue to him.
Evander Holyfield Statue Unveiled In Downtown Atlanta
Holyfield credited his mother and the local Boys Club in his hometown with helping him turn into the man he is today.
He said a trophy he won earlier made a big difference in his life. “The Boys Club gave me the opportunity to become who I am. They had a boxing program. I didn’t really like boxing, but since I won that trophy, when I brought that trophy home and found out that my Mama liked trophies,” he said.
Holyfield joins Atlanta Hawks great Dominique Wilkins as the two legendary sports figures with busts in downtown Atlanta’s State Farm Arena.
The Holyfield statue was commissioned by the City of Atlanta in 2017. Sculptor Brian Hanlon designed it and it was in storage for all that time due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But now, it has seen the light of day.
To know why the statue is important for Atlanta as well as Holyfield, one has to know his history.
Evander Holyfield: History Of Greatness
Holyfield was born in in 1962 in Atmore, Alabama. He had eight other siblings.
Holyfield rose to fame after he won the bronze medal at the at the 1984 Summer Olympics. At age 21, he won his first world championship by defeating Dwight Muhammad Qawi for the WBA title.
Holyfield fought as a heavyweight to get a shot at undisputed champ Mike Tyson in 1989, but in a shock to the world, Buster Douglas took the title.
One year later in October 1990, an overweight Douglas lost to Holyfield in an easy contest for the Atlanta resident.
In 1996, Holyfield would finally meet Tyson in the ring, beating him in an 11th round TKO. Because the fight didn’t unify the belts, the two met again in a rematch.
“The Bite Fight” went down in history as an outrageous affair, which ended in Tyson biting off a chunk of Holyfield’s ear.
After several comebacks, Holyfield officially retired in 2014, the same year his iconic mansion was purchased by another Atlanta celebrity. Read on to learn more about that.
The Holyfield Mansion
The Holyfield Mansion is an Atlanta landmark that has become a tourist attraction for passersby. Officially in Fayetteville County, Georgia, the home is on Evander Holyfield Highway.
How Big Is The Holyfield Mansion?
The Holyfield Mansion is the largest home in Georgia. It spans 44,234 square feet and sits on 105 acres. As for the rooms in the home, there are109 of them, including, a 135-seat theater, spa, a bowling alley and more.
Who Owns Holyfield’s Mansion In Atlanta?
Rapper and businessman Rick Ross purchased the Holyfield Mansion in 2014 for $10 million. The home was set to be foreclosed on when Ross stepped in to purchase it.
Final Thoughts
From humble beginnings in Alabama, to worldwide fame, Holyfield has experienced it all.
Holyfield is an Atlanta legend and one of the best sports figures that city has ever had. The Holyfield Mansion remains the swankiest home in the Southeast.
