The gym will be fully operational and compliant with government regulations. In addition, every one of our locations will be adhering to our 8 Key Commitments for COVID-safety. https://www.welcomegym.co.uk/stay-safe-and-stay-fit/ These include:
- Real-time usage stats on our App so you can carefully plan your visit.
- Contactless entry using near field technology within our App - with your smartphone you will not need to touch the turnstiles.
- Safe distancing between the gym kit and other members - through the use of floor markings and spacing/moving equipment.
- Class schedules are being run online for at-home use and where permitted we are still running classes at the gym studios. Class bookings have been reduced by 50% to enable the 1m+ distance to be achieved in classes.
- Cleaning schedules have increased for gym staff, we have reviewed all cleaning materials and disinfectant usage to ensure we have the maximum coverage whilst keeping our members safe. We are regularly fogging the whole facility with Mirius Antiviral disinfectant which effectively kills the COVID-19 virus in under 5 minutes. This fragrance-free formula is safe for human contact and will kill 99.99% of germs and viruses.
- We have introduced a new member code of conduct - so that we all know our part to play in keeping the environment respectful, friendly and safe.
- We have introduced time and space hours at each gym which are time identified for being less busy, so that everyone, even the more vulnerable customers can choose a time to improve their fitness which feels comfortable and secure.
- Changing areas - ideally, it would be best if you arrived at the gym in your workout kit and shower and get changed at home, however, we know this is not possible for everyone. So changing rooms will be open with some adaptations - certain lockers, showers and stalls will be taken out of action to allow for social distancing.
