Hey, in service of the people dealing with closed gyms, I figured I'd toss this out. Here are some everyday items that have helped me get a solid workout. Feel free to add.
Car. If you push it up a slight incline, you can just stick it in neutral and go to town. Back to the car will light up your quads. Facing the car is great for glutes, hams and calves. Killer cardio too.
A rice/sand bucket or water jug can also work. Opening and closing your hands in rice/sand is great.
A sandbag is awesome and versatile.

Yeah, they were nice. You know, when you, like, you grab a woman's breast and it's ... And you feel it and ... It feels like a bag of sand when you're touching it.

It's great for some things. If you try to go heavy, it gets too awkward to handle real quick. That was my experience anyway. Way better than nothing, and I still use it, but I also bought a set of weights and a rack/bench, which I'm very pleased with.
In fact, with gyms closed, now's the perfect time to set up a home workout space. With the money you're saving on gym fees, you can have it paid for in a few months.

To expand on this, the sandbag is a great workout tool. Do cleans and presses. Pick it up and sprint with it. Do slams with it.
How to make a sandbag, per Johnny Pain:
Get a 50 pound back of gravel from Home Depot.
Put that bag of gravel in a contractor bag or two.
Duct tape the whole thing.
Done correctly, you'll have a 50 pound-ish bag that will be very tough. Sandbag training used to be a staple of my overall training. I'm heading to Home Depot after work to get a bag of gravel and some duct tape.

I’ve said this a few times but it works. Take two chairs, a broom, place the brook across the two chairs and now you have a bar to do Australian pull-ups/chin-ups

water jug
I did rows with water jugs yesterday. 40ish lbs each. They did the job. Also farmer carries and shrugs.

Unintended consequence: if shite hits the fan, you'll be the last person in the neighborhood that anyone fricks with.

I used to regularly do this before I bought a sled. People used to stop and ask if I needed help with my dead car. I got some weird looks when I told them I was just working out.
