Your Opinion on the Reopening of Clubs
1.
Which province/territory are you located?
2.
Has your province/territory come out with a reopening strategy? If so, has your province/territory stated what phase fitness clubs are expected to reopen?
3.
When do you think would be the ideal time for fitness clubs to reopen? In earlier stages or later stages? Why?
4.
It is always wise to follow the lead of your regional health authority; as clubs plan to reopen, we want to make a list of guidelines for clubs to follow:
- Hire additional cleaning staff and have sufficient cleaning products available.
- Mandate the use of face masks for staff. (Perhaps gloves too.)
- Consider having face masks/gloves available for staff and members.
- Consider no-contact temperature checks for staff and members.
- Encourage members to wipe equipment before and after use.
- Ensue that all fitness equipment is spaced at least two metres apart.
- Reduce the number of members who can visit the club at the same time. (This may include scheduling online appointments.)
- Limit the number of participants in fitness classes.
- Encourage physical distancing for members and staff. (Tape floors for distancing.)
- Have hand sanitizer readily available.
- Consider the placement of equipment and ensure there is no equipment that faces each other.
- Limit access to locker rooms by closing off lockers and showers.
Do you have any additional recommendations you would like to see on the list?
