One of my nephews is 16 and has had a few ups and downs. He was getting into a bit of trouble etc...
I started taking him to the gym with me at 6 in the morning. To his dads massive surprise, his son came with me everyday, 5 days a week for 8 weeks before the closures. A kid that usually stayed up late playing vids and eating candy. He even started to talk about joining football next year.
He texted me earlier to see if I can pick him up tomorrow for the gym. It breaks my heart that I had to text him back and tell him this news.
I know, I know. Most people support these restrictions but I'm allowed to be sad and concerned for my nephew.
I just wish there could be other ways about it. My gym is very quiet at the best of times, its located off the track in a industrial area.
I wish I could rent out the gym for private use so that my training partner, his son ( top Lacrosse player in BC, also really missing his training) and my nephew could use it.
If we all paid $25 per hour, then the gym could make $100 an hour, close for 20 mins of cleaning and open to another private group.
That way the gym doesn't go out of business ( they recently put it up for sale) and we could get back to a healthy lifestyle.
Again, I know. I'm just frustrated.
