Since COVID I have lost two of my favorite places to exercise. [View all]

One of them, which had a largely older clientele, never reopened after COVID. The other, a YMCA which was about half an hour away, that I used mostly in the winter, had an indoor pool, hot tubs, steam room, sauna, gym, racquetball and basketball courts, etc. It never returned to profitability after COVID and was sold. It will become a school for autistic children. If you belong to a facility you like, visit it, even if you are reluctant to participate in programs right now. If you pay for your membership, keep paying, if you have Silver Sneakers, drop by frequently, even if you don't do a lot while you're there. I plan to get to my nearby Y frequently. I swim more than any other form of exercise and feel pretty safe at an outdoor pool in the summer.
