What gyms are doing to re-open and fight COVID and other skin diseases

In a nutshell: Owners are committed to keeping their gyms clean, sanitized, and safe for members and guests. It’s much more than social distancing and masks! Each Gym now has a dedicated and highly trained daily cleaning staff with enhanced disinfecting and sanitizing protocols and products. We also found customers are taking on a bigger responsibility to protect themselves and others while using the gym.

What’s new:

  • Restrictions are starting to be lifted, town by town.
  • New plans and steps were introduced and are now beginning to take shape.
  • There is a new sense of obligation to help others in this COVID era!
  • There is an enhanced commitment to safety.
  • More frequent sanitation of high customer touch points.
  • Gyms closes for additional cleaning overnight performed between 11:00 PM – ?
  • 70% Alcohol-based hand sanitizer will be made available in common areas
  • In response to any confirmed COVID-19 impact, CDC and local health officials’ guidelines apply related to quarantine and contact tracing. Gyms will be closed for a professional, deep cleaning and disinfectant before reopening to the public.
