After all that has happened, I think everyone knows that you "don't need a gym:"
I have not gone back to my gym in over 2 years. Do I miss it? Yes! However, I am just as fit and happy. I do miss seeing my friends from the gym. Now, I see my friends on the public pathways and sidewalks. I do weights at least 2 times a week, I ride my bike for 100 miles each week and I walk 3-4 miles in the morning with my wife and dog. I have not just maintained my conditioning, but I have improved it without going to the gym. With my activities outside the gym and maintaining my teaching schedule I easily hit over 15,000 steps daily. I bought a blood pressure monitor for home use. I have a visit with my internist twice a year, my wife and I are "flexitarian," vegetarian, no red meats with Salmon once a week. We don't drink alcohol anymore or carbonated drinks and I have never smoked. These are a lot of ways to get fit without a gym! Good luck on the courts!
