COMMUNITY COVID-19 UPDATE | JULY 2020
In the interest of transparency, Austin Simply Fit is publishing our COVID-19 reopening procedures. The new procedures and policies are aligned with our goal to protect YOU – the Austin Simply Fit community – in compliance accordance with CDC and State regulations and guidelines. All Austin Simply Fit trainers and clients must be in compliance to be onsite training at an Austin Simply Fit studio.
The Top Level:
How It Works:
- Upon arrival, clients should park in the front lot and remain in the car
- The trainer will unlock the front door once the gym has been cleaned
- The trainer will use a touchless thermometer to check the temperature of the client before entering facility and poll for any standard COVID-19 symptoms
- Ask if the client has taken Tylenol or any other fever suppressant within 24 hours
- Any client with a temp over 100.0 degrees Fahrenheit will not be admitted
- The trainer will hold open the front door for the client to prevent common touch transfer point
- Clients will use sanitizer at the station by the door upon entry OR wash hands in the bathroom for 20 seconds before beginning their training session
- All equipment used by the client will be left out until sanitization can be completed
- 6 feet of separation between clients and trainers should be maintained as much as possible
- NO hands-on cueing
- Trainers should program movements and intensities that don’t require spotting
- Trainers may load and unload barbells and cable machines, but the client needs to secure dumbbells and handles as often as possible to prevent common contact areas during handoffs
- Upon completion of the session, it is suggested that the client wash or sanitize hands
- The trainer will let the client out of the facility and lock the door
- The trainer will use the 15-minute dead time to sanitize
- Equipment
- Bathroom (if the client used)
- Door handles
- The trainer will wash hands or change gloves and let their next client into the facility.
