Measures We Have Taken to Protect You Against COVID-19

Standing Health Policies

1. We have always implemented strict equipment cleaning and “no training when sick” policies for our clients and staff. 
2. Our gym is spacious, private sessions are structured so that everyone has plenty of room, and our classes are small.
3. Be considerate of others.  If you have been possibly exposed to COVID 19 (at home, church, work, etc.) please request a HOLD and stay home 3-5 days to make sure you are not contagious.

COVID-19 Policy Update 3 weeks ago:

• All employees were required to wash their hands every two hours.
• We doubled the cleaning budget purchasing over $500 worth of wipes and cleaning supplies.

COVID-19 Policy Update 2 weeks ago:

• Everyone who entered the building to wash hands upon arrival
• Everything touched must be wiped down

COVID-19 Policy Update Last Week:

• Restructured personal training hours to accommodate midday clients and reduce the number of clients in the gym during peak hours
• Implemented a “no touch” policy, which requires our Coaches to use verbal and visual cues only during training

Open Gym Policies - Key Updates

1. You must register for every hour you plan to be in the gym.  So if you want to lift from 7AM-9AM, you need to register for 7AM and 9AM.  You may register for up to 3 hours in any given day.
2. We are capping the max attendance in open gym to 8 people per hour.
3. I changed our Open Gym Settings so you can see how many people are in each open gym session.
4. If you attend open gym without reserving you'll be charged the drop-in rate ($15 per hour) for every hour you are there.  That could be a lot of money -- we are taking these attendance caps seriously.
5. The booking window is 6 hours before for self-serve.  If you need to book inside this window, you must email Sand and Steel Fitness and obtain permission.
6. Social monitoring.  I have enabled all members to see who has registered for open gym.  If you see more than 8 people there -- you can see who is supposed to be there and who is not.  Call me if someone doesn't follow the registration rules.
7. Wipe down every surface you touch.  Plates, bars, the floor, mats.
8. Open Membership is $65 / month.  Sign-up here.
9. Open Gym Members, please reply to this email and confirm you understand these policies.  Your open gym access will be frozen as of tomorrow if you don't reply.  You will need to "rebook" any session you had previously booked.  I apologize for the extra work.

Fitness Classes - Key Updates

1. All classes are now capped at 8 people. 
2. I changed settings to allow you to see how many people are registered in the class.
3. We are going to have a team equipment wipedown at the end of every session. This means we are going to clean all the equipment and make sure every person in the class is satisfied that all surfaces have been cleaned.
4. We will be moving to a class heart rate monitor solution for classes starting March 28.  You'll need your own HRM for the class.  If you don't have one, you'll be able to rent one for $15/month.  For more on our heart rate monitors, please see our heart rate monitor article.  If you want to rent one, email me today or tomorrow.  I am going to buying new monitors for anyone that wants to rent one.
