Secret gyms and the economics of prohibition

That's the thing though...You don't need to lock yourself inside, just wear a damn mask when you go do your stuff. For example, I wear a mask to go run on the boardwalk because I like running there. It honestly takes 0 effort to wear the mask and I get to do what I want.

Sure, you can be selfish, but you're also negatively impacting society and saying that you don't care. You do you, but I don't get it.

I'm not against wearing a mask, but I'm against closing the gyms

If a gym can't be open and avoid killing people who don't actually use the gym then it can't be open. Classic example of your right to swing your fist ends at my nose.

I do think it's best if we are able to do certain things with appropriate precautions (masks inside, things outside when possible, etc).

Sorry if I was a bit harsh - had someone yell "America" at me while running with a mask the other day but I shouldn't project that frustration onto others.
