Today, as I'd been going to a gym with my wife as a guest on her account, I joined as a regular member. However, before I had time to go under my own membership, the gym closed down due to the coronavirus. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I bought a $300 gym membership that gives me access to the company's non-premium gyms. The non-premium gyms are all closed due to construction, because they're being turned into premium gyms. FML
Today, I was denied membership to an all-women's gym. Why? Because "men are not permitted to join". I am and have always been female. FML
Today, I went to the gym and got locked in the locker room. I had to call the gym's phone number to get them to come let me out, after being in there for half an hour. FML
Today, I applied to a new gym. Now I have a hernia. FML
Today, I went to the gym for the first time in months. I was so out of shape that I couldn't even finish my warm-up. FML
Today, I went to the gym for the first time in months and couldn't figure out how to use any of the equipment. FML
Today, I went to the gym for the first time in months and tried to act like I belonged there. I used the wrong machine, adjusted something I shouldn’t have, and had to ask a teenager how to reset it. FML
Today, I hit the gym. With my car. FML
Today, I went to the gym after months of procrastinating. I walked straight into the glass wall next to the entrance instead of the door. A guy lifting near the front desk winced in sympathy. I still worked out, but I could see my face slowly swelling in the mirror. FML
Today, I went to the gym to try out a new workout class. Halfway through, I realized I was in the wrong room and had accidentally joined a dance class. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Aw, that sucks. I'm so sorry. You seemed to have joined a bad gym. Ever since the pandemic started, my gym has gone to being open 28 hours a day, there are mandatory massages and the hot tubs are filled with champagne. I just assumed all gyms did that. Sorry.

If the gym is like most other gyms, it will place all memberships on hold until they open again. So no loss on your part, other than losing a place to go work out for a while. Like all the rest of us with gym memberships.

Calm down, it’s not forever

You’re not the only one. I bought a gym member two weeks before it closed. I’m not too upset about it because I know it is not a permanent thing, only temporary.

Grow up. And wash your hands while you’re at it!

I don't go to the gym. I put my fan on and hop into vr and get myself a good workout. Take some breaks for water and continue until I'm in dire need of a shower. Then repeat the next day.
