Seems like you and your partner already had Covid and have vaccinated at least 3 times based on your post history.

Your hybrid immunity should be very good at this point (this is from well established peer review studies) so you shouldn't worry more about Covid than other respiratory infections.

Not exercising because you couldn't find a "safe" gym may be worse for your health in the long-term.

My apologies for trying to get less COVID to bring home to my immunocompromised partner, I’ll just lick some doorknobs now

Reddit can be dumb. Particularly this subreddit. You are doing the right thing. I wish I knew of a place to suggest.

You know that the only reasonable answer is to work out at home if this is truly a risk. Truly astounding responses here.

Then stay home!

You can't be like "I really can't afford to bring covid home" but wanna go to public gyms/supermarkets/restaurants/work places.

A HEPA filter helps but it's not even close to being as effective as a "condom against gonorrhea" like you said. You will be exposed to plenty of viruses and bacteria (not just Covid) in a gym regardless.
