Why does no one wear masks at gyms?

What is up with gyms not requiring a mask at all times? Technically you should wear a mask if you aren’t exercising but everyone is more or less exercising in the gym and most people aren’t wearing masks even when they are standing next to one another pumping iron or dumbbells. It’s not fun but you can wear a mask while running on the treadmill, doing yoga on the mat or lifting a 20 lb dumbbell for a squat.

    "Technically" you should not wear a mask when exercising.

    My city's health department specifically says that if you are doing physical activity that increases your heart rate, you should not wear a mask

    If people at your gym are acting in a manner that you find unsafe, cancel your membership or wear a KN95 mask and cotton mask.

    The great thing about covid is that it's an "I take care of me and I don't have to worry about you" transmission process.  .
