- Check In: There will be controlled measures such as screening, disinfectant protocols and plenty of hand sanitizer.
- Weights: Staff will be required to wear gloves and masks, but it’s not a bad idea for members. Weights are so often touched that it will be impossible to do a thorough cleaning between reps.
- Group classes: They will be reservation-based with online sign-up and a 50% reduction in capacity.
- Cleaning: There will be wait time between classes due to enhanced cleaning techniques. This is good news for everyone.
- Swimming Pools: Pools may be open but will also require “lane” or “class” reservation.
- Online Classes: Zoom has taken over the in-person meeting and workout. Since March, many clubs have offered their workouts online. Look for this in the foreseeable future.
- Floor Markers: We see them everywhere, and the health club will be no different. Wait your turn on the given line, please.
- Outdoor Classes: Group classes are moving towards outdoors where there is more space and fresh air. Movie theaters are doing the same with pop-up drive in’s.
- Child Daycare: It’s been great to squeeze in a workout with a child, but chances are they’ll be a distant memory due to Covid-19.
- Safety First: Remember to follow all club protocols: stay informed, avoid being a virus spreader and don’t forget to social distance even with a mask on.
