Nick Savage keeping the Gators in shape in quarantine

On March 13 the doors of the Griffin-Oakley Strength and Conditioning Complex were shut indefinitely. Dan Mullen and the Florida coaching staff knew that with the COVID-19 pandemic reaching America that this could happen and they had begun to prepare for it two weeks prior.

No two players will have the same access to weights or space, so the challenge for Savage and his staff was large.
