Coronavirus: Ohio man’s ‘lumber jacked gym’ is worth the weight

JACKSON COUNTY, Ohio — Working out at the gym has been impossible because of the coronavirus pandemic, but an Ohio man found a way to solve that weighty problem. He built a gym in his yard.

Zachary Skidmore, who lives east of Cincinnati, took matters into his own hands and built what he calls a "lumber jacked gym," WCMH reported.

Skidmore posted a video to his Facebook page, showing off his homemade his gym -- complete with a treadmill, leg press, shoulder press and dumbbells, the television station reported. Skidmore created his gym out of wood.

Skidmore said it took him 60 hours over a two-week period to build his makeshift gym.

"So my gym closed. So, I grabbed a chain saw and went to work," Skidmore wrote on Facebook. "I managed to satisfy my hunger to work out."

It looks like he is going to keep in shape with no problem.
