This time of gym closure has highlighted our dependence on gyms to achieve our fitness goals. If anything this has shown the success that health and wellness companies have had in their marketing campaigns that health is mutually exclusive with being in the gym. Resulting from this, people are antsy and protesting for the re-opening of gyms (at least in Michigan).
This should not be the case. This episode discusses the arguments for gym re-openings (that I have seen) and discusses them. After that, I discuss strategies to continue on with your fitness journey when the gym is not an option.

In the inaugural episode of A Couple of Dumbbells I interview OPT Athletics co-founder and Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) extraordinaire, Josh Lamparski. We talk about our journey in the world of sports medicine, some early career insights we have gathered, and approaches to the anxieties and obstacles involved in a new, or return, journey into health and wellness.
