Would YOU go to the gym?

Florida. Swimming, indoors, either early morning (5am) or late (9:30pm). My therapist keeps harping on me about exercise and going to the gym. Can't wear a mask when in the water, obviously, and live next door, so I'm not around too long inside.

Swimming is such great exercise; given that the place is next door, I would check out how many people are in the building at the hours you mentioned. You might be surprised at how many pool addicts there are at 5a. (My husband swam at 5 am before work for 25 years.)

I read recently in the Nyt that gyms generally have really good air refresh rates especially in their larger spaces — like a pool? (Btw, the author said he now goes to his gym.)

So, maybe skip the locker room and go directly to the pool and try to find a less popular time. If it doesn’t matter, I’d go with the early time since the air in the building would definitely be cleared out overnight.

Just my opinion.
