That's not what people in this thread are talking about. They're talking about access with no restrictions, so you're forced to share the gym with others. IME that includes sharing it with people who do not wear masks and make no effort to socially distance. That's a high risk situation, as others have commented.

This kind of pedantic nonsense is making FT a most unpleasant place these days.
