Gold's Gym review: Covid: failure to require masks: super spreader location

I was at Gold's Gym in Hackettstown, NJ this past Sunday. Two weeks prior I was hospitalized with COVID for 6 days. I likely caught COVID from someone who refused to wear a mask in a public place.

I noticed that many were on treadmills, bikes, and working out with no masks on whatsoever. Having been hospitalized for 6 days, I am intensely paranoid about COVID. I asked politely approached the staff and let them know that there were at least a dozen "chin maskers" parading around, They very reluctantly began patrolling the gym. At one point an individual in a gray army t shirt came into my personal space with no mask on whatsoever, and I asked him to step back, to which he replied by telling me to "[censored] off". I went and told the staff, and they were profoundly bothered that I repeated what the thug said to me verbatim. They did nothing, so I left.

Today I got a call from the Manager of Gold Gym Hackettstown. HE called to yell at me for having complained about members not wearing masks, and FALSELY believed that I had spoken rudely to the staff. He had NO CONCERN whatsoever that members were parading around his gym not wearing masks, or chin masking. Indeed, he openly mocked me for wearing a mask and had not concerned whatsoever that I had been recently hospitalized. I told him I was going to call the Department of Health and report that he was running a superspreader center, to which he responded with a derisive laugh and then openly mocked me. Clearly he is at best a 1/2 educated Trumper working a menial job, and he is quite angry about it.

Mr. Noonan is putting Gold's Gym at risk of being sued for spreading COVID. I know of senior citizens who have resigned from the Hackettstown Gold's Gym because of the staffs' fear to address the mask issue. Indeed, it is quite possible that some have died after working out at this gym, as anti maskers could be spreading the disease with the no visible symptoms. But this is not something that would trouble Mr. Noonan and his staff, as they do not care about masks, and are not concerned about COVID transmission.
