A public service announcement from Rick Vodicka.

A mild flu-like virus with a 99.7% recovery rate is not a reason to close gyms. In fact, there are no reasons to close gyms, and many reasons to keep gyms open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 360 days a year. I suggest querying “benefits of weight lifting” in your Google machine for more information.

A good weight-lifting regimen, combined with a good diet, is the solution to all the things. A bad diet, combined with no weight-lifting, makes you a weak baby who cries about mild flu-like symptoms. Strong men find this behavior to be annoying, and we ask that you knock it off already.

In closing, everything is a hoax and all gyms must be open all day. Thank you.
